본 발명은 텔레비전의 메뉴언어 자동설정 방법에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 자동 채널 검색을 수행하여 얻은 방송국 정보를 기반으로 국가를 선택하여 해당 국가의 언어로 메뉴언어를 설정함으로써 메뉴 언어를 텔레비전에서 수신되는 방송신호에 따라 자동으로 설정하도록 한 텔레비전의 메뉴언어 자동설정 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for automatically setting a menu language of a television, and more particularly, by selecting a country based on broadcasting station information obtained by performing an automatic channel search and setting a menu language as a language of a corresponding country to receive a menu language on a television. The present invention relates to a menu language automatic setting method of a television set automatically according to a broadcast signal.

일반적으로 텔레비전의 메뉴언어는 초기에는 제조사에서 설정해 놓은 언어로 설정되어 있다. 만약, 사용자가 메뉴언어를 변경하고자 할 때에는 메뉴에서 언어 설정의 하위메뉴를 찾아서 자신이 원하는 언어로 설정하게 된다. 텔레비전은 사용자에 의해 선택된 언어로 설정을 변경하여 화면에 메뉴를 출력한다.In general, the menu language of the television is initially set to the language set by the manufacturer. If the user wants to change the menu language, the user finds a submenu of language setting in the menu and sets the desired language. The television changes the setting to the language selected by the user and outputs a menu on the screen.

이와 같이 텔레비전의 메뉴언어 설정은 일반적으로 사용자가 텔레비전 전원을 켜고 난 후 메뉴에서 언어 설정하는 하위 메뉴를 찾아서 직접 원하는 언어로 설정한다.As such, the menu language setting of the television is generally set to a desired language by searching for a sub-menu setting the language in the menu after the user turns on the television.

그러나, 사용자가 초기에 설정된 언어를 읽지 못하는 경우, 원하는 언어로의 설정에 불편함이 있다. 또한 제조사의 입장에서는 동일한 텔레비전을 언어가 다른 각각의 국가에 수출하는 경우에 각 나라별로 초기 언어를 달리 설정하여 수출하여야 하는 번거로움이 있다. However, when the user cannot read the language initially set, there is an inconvenience in setting the desired language. In addition, from the manufacturer's point of view, when exporting the same television to each country having a different language, it is troublesome to set the initial language differently for each country.

본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 개선하기 위한 것으로, 현재 텔레비전에서 수신되는 방송신호를 분석하여, 방송국 정보를 통해 자동으로 메뉴 언어를 설정하도록 하는 방법을 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.An object of the present invention is to provide a method of analyzing a broadcast signal currently received from a television and automatically setting a menu language based on broadcast station information.

주제어부(12)에서는 방송 신호에 포함된 채널별 방송국 정보를 메모리부(13)의 데이터베이스와 매칭하여 일치하는 국가별로 분류하여 방송국 정보에 따라 가장 많은 방송국이 매칭된 국가를 선택한다(S204). 메모리부(13)에는 제조사에서 제품 출하시 국가별 방송국 정보를 데이터베이스화하여 저장시켜 놓는다.The main control unit 12 matches the broadcasting station information for each channel included in the broadcasting signal with the database of the memory unit 13, and classifies the broadcasting station information according to the broadcasting station information in step S204. The memory unit 13 stores a database of country-specific broadcasting station information when the product is shipped from the manufacturer.

주제어부(12)에서는 방송국 정보에 따라 선택된 국가가 하나인지 판단하고(S205), 선택된 국가가 하나이면 선택된 국가의 언어로 메뉴언어를 설정한다(S208).The main control unit 12 determines whether there is one selected country according to the broadcasting station information (S205), and if there is one selected country, sets the menu language in the language of the selected country (S208).

그러나, 방송국 정보에 따라 선택된 국가가 하나가 아니면 주제어부(12)에서는 복수의 국가들 중 방송 신호의 세기가 가장 센 방송국들의 방송신호 세기를 비교한다(S206).However, if there is not one country selected according to the broadcasting station information, the main control unit 12 compares the broadcasting signal strengths of the broadcasting stations with the strongest broadcasting signals among the plurality of countries (S206).

주제어부(12)에서는 방송신호 세기 비교 결과 방송신호 세기가 가장 센 방송국의 국가를 선택하고(S207), 선택된 국가의 언어로 메뉴언어를 설정한다(S208). The main control unit 12 selects a country of the broadcasting station having the strongest signal strength as a result of the comparison of the broadcast signal strength (S207), and sets a menu language in the language of the selected country (S208).

다른 실시예로 언어 설정을 위한 키신호가 수신된 경우(S201), 주제어부(12)에서는 자동채널 검색을 수행하고(S202) 그 결과를 이용하여 채널맵을 형성할 수 있다.In another embodiment, when a key signal for language setting is received (S201), the main controller 12 may perform an automatic channel search (S202) and form a channel map using the result.
