(2) Prior art Standard computer-related display systems used cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors to display various types of data including video and text. In order to display video materials such as animations, charts, and photos on CRT monitors, it is often necessary to have a reasonably high level of luminosity because very many colors are used to provide realistic shadow effects and color changes. Increasing the luminosity range of the video data on the CRT monitor can make the video image richer in contrast and brightness and improve the visual quality of the image. However, compared to television systems, existing computer-related display systems such as CRT monitors or LCD displays often do not provide sufficient luminosity when displaying the above video materials. For example, when a video signal for a general television system is displayed on a general CRT monitor, the brightness of the displayed image is usually very low, and the image may appear too dark because of the brightness of existing computer-related display systems. The parameters are usually much smaller than the brightness parameters of TV systems. To eliminate this problem, it is necessary to have a display system that can increase the luminosity level of the user-selected area on the CRT monitor while keeping the luminosity of all other areas at a relatively low level. In this way, 200414773 can greatly improve the visual image quality of the user-selected area without increasing the brightness of the entire monitor screen, and provide the necessary solutions for the above problems. (3) Summary of the Invention Accordingly, the present invention is A display system for adjusting video parameters of a user-selected area, so as to substantially eliminate one or more problems caused by related limitations and disadvantages in conventional design.

And a video card 11 for receiving video information representing an active image superimposed with a pattern and generating a video signal and corresponding H-SYNC and V-SYNC signals. The linear pattern includes the position of a user-selected area relative to a reference point P0 'on the active image. On the other hand, the CRT monitor 20 includes: panel buttons 24; a monitor CPU (monitor central processing unit, such as a microprocessor) 22;-a video control unit 2 1;-a main video preamplifier 23; and a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) 2 5. The video control unit 21 will initially receive the R / G / B signal and SYNC signal from the video card 1 1 and will determine a reference for the video control area relative to the actual image displayed on the complete CRT 25 At the position of point IV ', adjustments are made to video parameters such as brightness, contrast, sharpness, and highlighting of the user-selected area. The video control unit 21 will receive the pixel frequency information from the monitor CPU 22 so as to be relative to the reference point P between the left and right edges on the user selection area. The distance (the number of pixels) is measured properly. Finally, each panel button 24 will receive instructions from the user in order to control the display setting of the CRT monitor 20, and the main video preamp 23 will Enlarged R / G / B signal received in the video control unit 21 2004200473 Figures 2 and 3 are used to show the first and second implementations of the present invention in the CRT monitor 20 shown in Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example video control unit 21. Referring to FIG. 2, the video control unit 21 includes: a quasi-detector 2101 is used to detect the CRT monitor 20 as shown in FIG. The linear pattern contained in one of the plurality of representative image lines in the complete image shown above and a pattern receiver 2 0 4 are coupled to the level detector 2 0 1 in order to receive the detected The linear pattern received. The received linear pattern includes a position indicator whose endpoints will be aligned with the vertical edges of the area in a vertical manner, and includes a mark indicating that each horizontal edge on the user-selected area is relative to the pattern. The first set of vertical positions of the line. This bit The detector 2 0 1 further includes: a pixel counter 202 coupled to the pattern receiver 204 so as to measure the end of each marker relative to a reference point, that is, the first from the top image line in the complete image The first set of horizontal positions of the starting pixels and a line counter 203 are coupled to the pattern receiver 204 to measure the vertical offset distance between the reference point and the lines included in the pattern. Then, the pattern analyzer Based on the horizontal position of the endpoints of each marker, 205 calculates a set of horizontal positions of each vertical edge on a video control area relative to the reference point, and the offset distance is superimposed into the pattern by At the included vertical position, a set of vertical positions of each horizontal edge in the control area with respect to the reference point is further calculated. Finally, the level detector 201 includes a gain controller 206 for determining A set of predetermined video parameters contained in the pattern contained in the pattern 値 sets a video control gain 区域 for the control area; and a video preamplifier 207 is used to accordingly Amplify the RGB signal. Except that the pattern analyzer 2 0 5 is omitted, the video control 200414773 control unit 21 shown in FIG. 3 is exactly the same as the video control unit 21 shown in FIG. 2. Instead It is' the monitor CPU 22 will calculate the position of the control area relative to the reference point in a similar way, and the gain controller 20 6 will set the video control gain 用于 for the control area. In this way , Can greatly simplify the structure of the level detector 2 0. Figure 4 is used to show a table as the application unit 12 on the video card 11 shown in Figure 1 provided by the video information initiative Schematic image example. The application unit 12 of the image source device 10 will allow the user to select the necessary area (such as the rectangular box shown in Figure 4) and adjust one or more of the selected areas. For example, a mouse pointer (unlabeled) controlled by a mouse (unlabeled) connected to the image source device 10 can be used to click on the upper left corner of a necessary area and pull the pointer to the right of the necessary area. Bottom corner to select the necessary area. Alternatively, the user can select the necessary area only by clicking at least one window that has been recently displayed on the monitor screen, or by pressing one or more key buttons provided on the keyboard. When the user selects the necessary area, the application unit 12 will measure and store the location information of the selected area. The position information includes vertical positions V_START and V_END representing the upper and lower edges of the user-selected area relative to a reference point on the active image (e.g., p0 'in Fig. 4). The application unit 12 may further measure the left and right edges of the user-selected area relative to P. The horizontal positions H_START and H_END, but these numbers are not necessary parameters for adjusting the video parameters of the user-selected area according to the present invention. The application unit 12 stores the data of each vertical position according to the shape of a line, and stores each horizontal position according to the form of a pixel. This is because the coordinate system used in this application sheet 200414773 yuan 12 shows the vertical and horizontal positions of any point on the active image in the form of lines and pixels, respectively. Then, after obtaining the required coordinate information, the application unit 12 superimposes a linear pattern on the top line of the active image. The linear pattern contains pattern data including coordinate information (V_START and V_END) of the user-selected area, a control password, and a pattern confirmation password (for example, the sum of rows and columns). The linear pattern may further include a horizontal position of the user-selected area with respect to Po. The control password refers to the video control parameters including brightness, contrast, sharpness and highlighting. The application unit 12 includes a data confirmation password such as the sum of rows and columns to ensure that the pattern data can be properly transmitted. The data confirmation password allows the video control unit 21 or the monitor CPU 2 2 to confirm the transmitted pattern. The data does not change during transmission and prevents any non-patterned parts detected on the video signal from being used as pattern data. Generally, the sum of the rows and columns refers to the total number of the representative numbers in all characters in the transmitted pattern data that can be determined by the application unit 12 and the monitor CPU 2 2 (or the video control unit 21). The monitor C P U 2 2 can confirm the pattern data contained in the linear pattern by comparing the sum of the rows and columns contained in the pattern data with the sum of the newly determined rows and columns. Looking at Figure 1, after the video card 11 of the image source device 10 receives the image information used to define the active image superimposed with the pattern from the application unit 12, the video card 11 will generate an rGB signal. And horizontal and vertical synchronization signals (H-SYNC and V-SYNC) to display an image and control the operation of the CRT monitor 20. Then, the video control unit 21 -14- 200414773 of the CRT monitor 20 will receive the RGB and each SYNC signal, and according to a set of predetermined parameters controlled by the controller, at least for the brightness, contrast and highlight of the area selected by the user. Adjust one of the parameters. After that, the pre-sequenced {s number is sent to the main video amplifier 23 to enlarge the R G B and display the RGB signal at CRT 25. Figure 5 is used to display a complete image of the RGB signal and the SYNC signals received on the CRT 25 in response to the 1 1. Referring to Figure 5, I should pay attention to the actual display; the complete image on! Is not exactly the active combination as shown in Figures 4 and 5, but is caused by the fact that the CRT monitor 20 is the same as the application unit The display is set to a larger frame or coordinate system than the active image. For example, the coordinate system used to represent a certain point on the complete image shown in Figure 5 may be different from the coordinate system used to represent the position of a point on the image shown in Figure 4. In other words, the position of the complete shadow point is measured relative to the reference point on the complete image (for example, the reference point on the active image (for example, P. '). It is often measured on the CRT monitor. 20 Delays occur between the SYNC signal received from the video card 1 and 1. These delays may even cause greater coordinate inconsistencies between the active images. Figure 6 shows the H-SYNC and V-SYNC signals. And the signal of the linear pattern received from the video card 11 by the control unit is as explained earlier, corresponding to the top-most frequency signal on the active image which includes a pattern signal. The pattern signal includes PDATA and PWINDOW. Class signals, each of which may be divided into codes: poor, sharp RGB signals, and from the video card example of a cold CRT 25-type image that weighs 1 to 2 unlike the full-image one-point position on the active image P. ") but other than the RGB and the entire image and in the video schematic. The line PCLOCK is included in each of the 200414773 RGB signals. More detailed details about Figures 5 and 6 can be entered The explanation is as follows. The image display system according to the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. At the beginning, the video preamplifier 2 07 and the level detector 2 0 1 will start to receive the image source device 1. The RGB signal and H-SYNC and V-SYNC signals of the video card 1 1. Looking at Figure 6, the line counter 20 3 will initially detect the first V-SYNC pulse and the first H- SYNC pulse. Each detected synchronous pulse represents the starting line (P. ") of the topmost video line on the complete image as shown in Figure 5. Between T1 and T2, the line counter 203 of the video control unit 21 will continue to count the number of video lines on the complete image by detecting further H-SYNC pulses until T2. When time = T2, the line counter 20 3 will detect a S-S YNC pulse corresponding to the starting point of the video line containing the linear pattern on the complete image. After that, the pattern receiver 204 of the video control unit 21 detects the first rising edge of the PCLOCK at time = T3. At this time, the pattern receiver 204 determines a V_OFFSET representing the number of video lines detected by the line counter 20 3 between T1 and T2. In other words, V_OFFSET represents the vertical distance between the topmost line on the complete image and the image line with the embedded pattern shown in Figure 5. In addition, the pattern receiver 204 extracts pattern data from the PDATA signal received from the level detector 20 1. The PDATA signal refers to a signal containing ^ ″ or “1” according to the pattern data contained therein as shown in FIG. 6. As mentioned earlier, the pattern data extracted is 16-200414773 including V_START and V__END, a control password, and V_START and V_END in a row representing the edge of the user-selected area relative to the active image The reference point (such as the vertical position in Figure 4). The control password refers to a password that includes the brightness of the selected area and the video parameters such as contrast, sharpness, and other types of highlights. The sum of the ranks Refers to a pattern confirmation password that is confirmed by the case receiver 204 or the monitor CPU 22 for the received pattern. The pattern receiver 204 further receives a signal from the level detector 201 to indicate the use of the pattern. The user selects the PWIND0W signal at the horizontal position relative to the gray P. "point. Looking at Figure 6, the receiver 204 will detect the PWINDOW signal edge at time = T4. Next, the pattern receiver 204 will use pixels The counter is the number of pixels between T2 and T4 to determine the water i PCV-H_START signal representing the left edge of the area relative to the point P0 in Figure 5. The picture The counter 2 02 will use the pixel frequency information provided by the monitor 2 2 to count each pixel. The case receiver 204 will detect the PWIND0W signal edge at time = T5. Similarly, the pattern receiver 2 0 4 will use the pixel counter to represent the RCV_H_END signal of the right edge of the user-selected area relative to the horizontal position in Figure 5. Again, the pixel counter exists between the number of pixels between T2 and T5. 〇FFSET, RCV_H_START, RCV_H_END, etc. and Yuanquan received the pattern data, the pattern receiver 204 sums up. P above and below it. ') This user uses it to allow pattern data to be patterned. > In Fig. 5, the rising edge 202 of the pattern counts the viewer CPU at the P position, and the falling edge 202 of the figure determines 3 P. Count 2 0 2 counts all signals and sends the determined position of 200414773 to the pattern analyzer 2 0 5 or the pixel counter 2 0 2. Then, the pattern analyzer 2 0 5 or the pixel counter 202 uses Compare the sum of the rows and columns contained in the pattern data with the newly determined sum of the rows and columns to confirm the correctness of the pattern data. If the pattern data is found to be incorrect, the pattern analysis will benefit 205 or the pixels g The benefit 2 0 2 will ignore the determined position 否. No _, the pattern analyzer 2 05 or the pixel counter 2 0 2 will use the following equation to calculate the position of a video control area relative to the point P 0 in Figure 7 Position 値: WIN_V_START V_OFFSET + V_START; WIN_V_END = V_〇FFSET + V_END; WIN_H_START = RCV_H_START; WIN_H_END = RCV_H_END; and V_BLANKP〇S = V_〇FFSET. Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram showing the position 値 of the video control area calculated based on the above equation. As shown in the figure, WIN_V_START and WIN_V_END represent the vertical position of the upper and lower edges of the video control area with respect to point P0 ", and WIN — H —START and WIN_H__END represent the left of the video control area The horizontal position relative to the same reference point as the right edge. In addition, V_BLANKPOS represents the vertical position of the video line that can be selectively left blank on the complete image. By including the complete image as shown in Figure 7 In the active image, the video line of the top video line is left blank, so that the user will not be disturbed when observing the linear pattern on a monitor screen. By determining all necessary positions on the control area値 When the video control area is completely identified, the gain control 206 will set the gain for identifying the control area according to a set of predetermined video parameters included in the control password-1 8-200414773. Finally The video preamp 207 will amplify its RGB signal accordingly. Alternatively, WIN__H_START and WIN_H_END can be determined by using the following equations: WIN_h_STAR T two RCV one H—START + HDELAY1; and WIN—H_END = RCV_H_END + HDELAY2. Among them, HDELAY1 and HDELAY2 are used to compensate the gain controller that occurs when the gain of the identified user-selected area is amplified Additional adjustment of the delay between the input and output of 206.

Therefore, The intention of the present invention is to cover all the modified and changed forms of the present invention, as long as they are within the framework of the scope of the patent application attached to the present invention and its equivalents.
