The present invention relates to a method of recording and confirming display of living information using a data bank of a VCR, and more particularly, to display living information such as a telephone number, a birthday, an anniversary, etc. using an on-screen display (hereinafter referred to as an OSD screen) of a VCR. The present invention relates to a life information recording and confirmation display method using a data bank of a VCR which allows correction, recording and confirmation in a data bank while being displayed on the screen of the receiver.

Conventionally, a separate memo sheet or a notebook is provided to record various life information, especially phone numbers, birthdays, anniversaries, etc., and the desired information is found by finding the memo paper or the notebook as necessary.

Therefore, it is very inconvenient to find a note or a notebook when you find the information you want, and you often lose the note or notebook and cannot find the information you want. Because it depends on the memory of the date often passed the problem was inconvenient.

The present invention was devised to solve such a conventional problem, and records various kinds of living information such as telephone number, birthday, anniversary, etc. in the data bank of the VCR, and displays desired information on the screen of the TV receiver as necessary. The VCR data bank is designed to make it easy to check living information by eliminating the risk of loss of information due to the loss of memo sheets or notebooks, and to make life easier by avoiding passing birthdays and anniversaries. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of recording and confirming display of life, which will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, the apparatus applied to the method of the present invention includes a remote controller 1 equipped with a key switch for selecting a character and a position of a character on a TV screen, a line, a cursor, a page, and a type of information as shown in FIG. A microcomputer 2 for analyzing a signal supplied from the remote controller 1 and performing a recording or display control process, an OSD circuit 3 for outputting character information under the control of the microcomputer 2; And a TV receiver 4 for displaying predetermined characters by character information supplied from the OSD circuit 3, and an EEPROM 5 for recording and decrypting living information.

The display method of the present invention carried out by the apparatus of the above-described configuration is characterized in that when the data bank is selected in the menu mode according to the key signal input to the microcomputer 2 by the remote controller 1 as shown in FIG. 3) control to display the data bank pattern on the screen of the TV receiver 4, and then if one of the life information such as a telephone number, birthday or anniversary is selected among the data bank patterns, the corresponding information pattern is displayed on the screen of the TV receiver 4; In addition to this, the character of the EEPROM (5) is decoded and displayed, and the page change key signal is input to the microcomputer (2) by the remote controller (1) while the information pattern is displayed. The pattern is displayed on the screen of the TV receiver 4 and at the same time, the character from which the data of the EEPROM 5 is decoded is displayed and then returned to the start step, and the information is displayed on the remote controller 1 while the information pattern is displayed. When the line shift key signal is input to the microcomputer 2, the cursor moves up and down to the corresponding line on the information pattern, and then returns to the start step. In the state where the information pattern is displayed, the cursor shift key signal is transferred to the microcomputer (2). 2) If the input key is input to the microcomputer 2 by the remote controller 1 in the state in which the information pattern is displayed, the cursor moves left and right on a predetermined line on the information pattern, and the character is displayed on the TV receiver. The process of displaying on the screen (4) and writing to the EEPROM (5) and then returning to the start step is performed.

The operation and effect of the method of the present invention made as described above, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, when the menu mode is selected by operating the menu key switch of the remote controller 1, the microcomputer 2 controls the OSD circuit 3 to A menu pattern as shown in FIG. 3A is displayed on the screen of the TV receiver 4.

In an embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the sixth key M6 represents a data bank on a menu pattern as shown in FIG. 3A.

Subsequently, when the user operates the menu selection key switch of the remote controller 1 and the sixth key M6 is selected, the microcomputer 2 controls the OSD circuit 3 to display the 3B on the screen of the TV receiver 4. Displays the data bank pattern as in.

Here, the menu pattern displayed on the screen of the TV receiver 4, the data bank pattern, the life information pattern, etc. are stored in the EEPROM 5 in advance, and the recording and decoding of the data and the display control by the OSD circuit 3 are performed. Since the overall control operation according to the normal VCR operation, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

On the data bank pattern as shown in FIG. 3b, the first key K1 is a telephone number, the second key K2 is a birthday, and the third key K3 is an anniversary, etc. Further menu selection of the data bank for living information is made.

If the first key K1 is selected in this step, the microcomputer 2 controls the OSD circuit 3 to display the information pattern corresponding to the telephone number as shown in FIG. 3C on the screen of the TV receiver 4. Decode the data related to NAME, area code and phone number from EEPROM (5) to display the characters from the decoded data. Only the information pattern of the form is displayed on the screen of the TV receiver 4.

Subsequently, it is determined whether the user operates one of the page change key switches, the line move key switches, the cursor move key switches, and the character key switches provided on the remote controller 1.

When the user operates the page switch key of the remote controller 1 to switch pages, the microcomputer 2 switches the page of the information pattern as shown in FIG. 3C to another page and decrypts data from the EEPROM 5. A new information pattern is displayed on the screen of the TV receiver 4 together with the number of the corresponding page.

In this step, if 20 characters are displayed per line of the OSD screen and 5 characters are displayed in total, the address of EEPROM (5) becomes 20 × 5 = 100, so 100 addresses increase according to the conversion of 1 page. Or reduced.

In this step, page switching of the information pattern is stored in the RAM in the microcomputer 2.

In other cases, if the line movement key switch on the remote controller 1 is operated, the position of the cursor CR is moved up or down one line on the information pattern as shown in FIG. It is stored in the RAM.

If the line is exceeded in this step, the process moves to the page display step.

In another case, if the cursor movement key switch on the remote controller 1 is operated, the position of the cursor CR on the information pattern as shown in FIG. 3C is shifted to the left or right on the line and the left and right sides of the cursor CR are moved. Information about the movement is stored in the RAM in the microcomputer 2.

In another case, when a character key on the remote controller 1 is operated, the same name, area code, telephone number, etc. are newly memorized, and the character key is displayed according to the operation of the switch.

For example, during the period when the character key switch is turned on, the characters? A? To? Z ＂and the letters? 0＂ to? 9 ＂are selected at the positions designated by the cursor CR on the information pattern as shown in FIG. When the character key is switched off while displaying sequentially, the character displayed at that time is displayed at the position indicated by the cursor CR, and at the same time, the RAM in the microcomputer 2 is related to the character, that is, the first display position on page 9, line 3 The data is recorded in the EEPROM 5 in accordance with the information address stored in the memory.

This step allows memo of the new phone number.

In addition, on the data bank pattern as shown in FIG. 3B, the confirmation display process and the recording process of the birthday or the anniversary are the same as the confirmation display process and the recording process of the telephone number, and only the display form of the information pattern is softened.

For example, in the case of a birthday, the information pattern is displayed on the form for distinguishing the name and the date or the lunar calendar and the lunar calendar.In the case of the anniversary, the information pattern is displayed on the form of the commemorative contents (marriage, company establishment, etc.) and the date. do.

As described above, according to the present invention, by using the OSD function of the VCR, the user can display and confirm information, birthdays, anniversaries, phone numbers, etc. necessary for daily life, thereby eliminating inconvenience caused by the provision and confirmation of a memo or a notebook. There is an effect that there is no fear of losing the record.
