DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Figure a is a block diagram of the artifact for displaying an ambient temperature and a body temperature for a video display apparatus in accordance with the present invention. With reference to Figure 1, a television receiver for displaying a video signal, and a remote control for remotely controlling the function of the television receiver are provided in the apparatus for video display.

On the remote control a function selection section 1 is provided to choose a mode to display the ambient temperature and body temperature, a sensing section 2 for sensing the ambient temperature and body temperature in response to the mode selected through the function selection section 1, a storage section 3 for temporarily storing the sensed signals of the ambient temperature and body temperature emitted by the sensor section 2, and a transmission section 4 for transmitting the sensed signals of the ambient temperature and the body temperature stored in the storage section 3.

On the television receiver to display the video signal, a receiving section for selecting a transmitting signal received through an antenna, a remote control receiving section 6 for receiving the sensed signals of the ambient temperature and the body temperature transmitted by the transmitting section 4, a microcomputer 7 for controlling the processing of data of the felt signals of the environmental temperature (m and the body temperature received through the receiving section of the remote control 6 and a video broadcast section 8 for processing the video of the broadcast signal chosen and issued by the television receiving section 5 and the data of the ambient temperature and the body temperature felt emitted by the microcomputer 7.

The microcomputer 7 comprises a data processing section 7A for receiving and processing the data the sensed signals of the ambient temperature and the body temperature received through the receiving section of the remote control 6, a control section 7B to control the operation of the data processing section 7A and a deployment control section 7C for transferring the data of the ambient temperature and the body temperature processor by the data processing section 7A to the video broadcast section 8 to display the data of the ambient temperature and the body temperature on the screen as an OSD under the control of the control section 7B.

Figure 2 is a flow diagram illustrating the method for deploying a IÍ ambient temperature and body temperature for a video display apparatus according to the present invention.

With reference to Figure 2, the method according to the present invention comprises the steps of determining whether or not to choose a way of sensing the ambient temperature and the body temperature during an "on" state of the television, maintaining a mode of television if the sensor mode is not chosen as a result of determination, while The feeling of ambient temperature and body temperature and the signals are transmitted corresponding to the television receiver if the sensor mode is chosen, receiving and converting the sensed signals from the ambient temperature and the body temperature to temperature data Celsius (° C) or Fahrenheit (° F), and converting the temperature data into a digital or analogous form according to the preference or selection of the user, which determines whether or not a deployment release signal is introduced during the deployment of the temperature data, and erasing the temperature data displayed on the screen and returning to television mode if the display release signal is entered as a result of the determination, while the temperature data displayed on the screen is erased after a predetermined time passes and returns to television mode if the deployment release signal is not entered. The operation of the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to Figures 1 and 2.

With reference to Figures 1 and 2, if the user turns on the apparatus to watch television, the television receiving section 5 chooses a desired transmit signal received through the antenna and provides the chosen broadcast signal to the video broadcast section 8, so that the user can see the station displayed on the screen.

While watching television, if the user chooses the mode for sensing the ambient temperature and its temperature by manipulating the function selection section 1 provided on the remote control, the sensing section 2 senses the ambient temperature and the temperature of the user.

The sensor section may comprise infrared sensors. The signals sensed by means of the sensor section 2 are temporarily stored in the storage section 4 comprising RAM (random access memory) and then transmitted to the receiving section of the remote control 6 in the television receiver through the section of transmission 4.

The receiving section of the remote control 6 in the television receiver provides the felt signal, which is transmitted from the remote control, to the microcomputer 7. The data processing section 7A and the deployment control section 7C provided in the microcomputer 7 they process the data and convert the felt signal fed so that the felt signal is displayed as an OSD. The operations of the data processing section 7A and the deployment control section 7C are controlled by the control section 7B. The control section also controls the deployment time and the type of display of the ambient temperature and the body temperature felt, i.e. k whether the deployment is carried out in the digital or analogous manner.

Specifically, the data processing section 7A in the microcomputer 7 converts the unit of the felt signal, which is received through the receiving section of the remote control 6, into degrees Fahrenheit (° F) or degrees Celsius (° C9 for the understanding of the user, and controls the display of the converted signal in a digital or analogous form according to the taste of the user The display control section 7C provides the signal ffW converted by the data processing section 7A to the video broadcasting section 8 under control of the control section 7B, so that the ambient temperature and body temperature are displayed on the television receiver screen.

If the user operates a deployment release key in the function selection section 1 provided on the remote control to release the sensor mode, the temperature environmental and body temperature that are displayed by means of the OSD on the television screen are erased from the screen, and the television mode is returned to see the television broadcast signal received through the antenna.

Meanwhile, if the user does not activate the release key of the display the The ambient temperature and the body temperature displayed by the OSD are erased from the screen after a predetermined time elapses under the control of the display control section 7C in the microcomputer 7, and the television mode returns to see the signal emitting from it. TV.

As described above, according to the present invention, if the mode of sensing ambient temperature and body temperature is chosen through the function selection section provided in the remote control while watching television, the ambient temperature and body temperature are deployed by means of the OSD on the screen, thus providing convenience to the user's daily life.

While the present invention has been described and illustrated herein with reference to the preferred exemplary thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail can be made without departing from the spirit. and scope of the invention.
