The present invention relates to a video display device, and more particularly, to a button function display method of a video display device for displaying a function of a button provided in the video display device with an OSD.

In general, a video display device such as a television receives and displays a broadcast signal transmitted from a broadcasting station, a video such as a DVD, a video signal transmitted from a server, and a video signal transmitted from a host computer.

Such an image display device typically includes buttons for setting and adjusting a corresponding function on the front or side of the frame surrounding the screen portion of the monitor. Letters and symbols are also displayed on or around the buttons to indicate the function of the buttons.

These buttons are typically a channel button for switching channels, a volume button for adjusting the volume, a selection button for selecting an external input signal, a menu button for calling up a menu, and a power button for controlling power supply. This may be included.

The above-described technology is described for understanding the background of the present invention, and does not mean a conventional technology well known in the art.

However, the conventional video display device has buttons for setting and adjusting a corresponding function on the front or side of the frame surrounding the screen portion of the image display unit, and letters or symbols for indicating the function of the button on or around the buttons. Although is displayed, there is a limit to displaying the function by printed letters or symbols in the case of a button having multiple functions.

In addition, since a certain area for displaying a letter or a symbol for indicating a function of a button is inevitable, there is a disadvantage in that the size and shape of the frame is limited.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and displays the functions of the buttons provided in the image display device as OSDs (On Screen Display) at positions corresponding to the buttons, respectively, and operates when the corresponding buttons are input. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for displaying a button function of a video display device.

The configuration of the present invention, which is invented to achieve the above-described object, is as follows.

In the method for displaying a button function of the image display device according to the present embodiment, when any one of a plurality of buttons included in a frame of the image display unit is input, a first function of reading an image indicating a function of a plurality of local buttons is read. And a second step of displaying an image indicating a function of the local button on an image display unit as an OSD, and a third step of performing a function of the displayed local button when the local button is input. .

In the second step, an image indicating a function of the local button is displayed in OSD at a position corresponding to the local button.

The local button is located on the front of the frame of the image display unit, characterized in that configured as a touch switch.

After the second step, if there is no local button input or the menu button is input for a predetermined time, the OSD indicating the local button function is deleted from the screen.

The third step may include displaying, by the OSD, a function performing state of a corresponding local button when the local button is input, or displaying a menu of switching a function of the local button on the OSD.

The third step may include displaying a sub-menu item of a tree structure through an OSD when the local button is input.

According to the present invention configured as described above, the functions of the buttons provided in the video display device are displayed on the OSD corresponding to the position of the buttons, respectively, and when the corresponding button is inputted, the user can conveniently operate the function of the video display device. Can be set and adjusted.

In addition, the touch switch is configured on the front of the frame of the image display unit so that the button is not exposed to the outside, so that the frame size and shape can be freely designed.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples. These embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention, and the scope of rights of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments.

1 is a block diagram of a button function display device of the video display device according to the present embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1, a button function display device of an image display device according to an exemplary embodiment includes a button input unit 1 for generating a button signal according to a user's button manipulation, and an image and tree structure menu indicating functions of buttons. A memory unit (2) for storing an item, an image processor (3) for processing to display a function of a button through an input image signal and an OSD, and a control unit for controlling the function of a button to be displayed in the OSD according to a button input A fisherman 4, and an image display unit 5 for displaying functions of image signals and buttons on the screen.

The button input unit 1 generates a button signal according to a user's button operation, and is provided on the front or side of the frame surrounding the screen portion of the image display unit 5 to call a menu displaying the function of the local button 12. A plurality of local buttons having a menu switch 11 and a touch switch on the front of the frame surrounding the screen portion of the image display unit 5 having a menu call function, a channel switch function, a volume control function and a menu switch function. 12).

The memory unit 2 stores images and menus representing functions for a plurality of local buttons.

The image processor 3 outputs an image signal through the image display unit 5, and displays an image indicating a function of a plurality of local buttons on the OSD 13 according to a control signal input from the controller 4. Process it. At this time, it is preferable to display the image representing the function of the local button 12 with the OSD 13 at a position corresponding to the local button 12 (see FIG. 3).

The control unit 4, when any one of the menu button 11 and the local button 12 of the button input unit 1 is input, the image and menu indicating the function of the local button 12 in the memory unit 2 After reading the control, it is controlled to be displayed on the OSD 13 through the image display unit 5, and if the local button 12 is input, it controls to perform a function for the corresponding local button. In addition, when a local button 12 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) having a menu switching function is input, the OSD 13 controls menu items indicating other functions assigned to the local button to be displayed.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a button function display method of the video display device according to the present embodiment.

In the method for displaying a button function of the video display device according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, when any one of the menu button 11 and the local button 12 is input (S2) (S2). The control unit 4 reads an image representing the functions of the plurality of local buttons 12 from the memory unit 2 (S3).

Subsequently, an image indicating a function of the local button 12 is displayed on the image display unit 5 in OSD at a position corresponding to the local button 12 (S4).

Then, it is detected whether the menu button 11 is input (S5) or whether the local button 12 is input (S6).
