Description

200529666 V. Description of the invention (1) [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a multimedia device and a processing method thereof, and particularly to a multimedia device with a multi-function button and a processing method thereof. [Previous technology] Multimedia devices have undergone several technological innovations and their functions have become more and more, and as users' demands for multimedia devices continue to change, technology developers of multimedia devices will work hard to expand the functions of multimedia devices. Traditional multimedia devices, such as televisions (such as analog cable TVs 'digital TVs' or TVs) or computer monitors (common monitors) often provide users with many buttons to complete the corresponding Function operation. The technology developer of a multimedia device must add a function button for each new function. Although such a multimedia device can meet the user's functional requirements, on the other hand, while the functions are continuously expanding, The user is also getting more and more troublesome to operate, and the user must remember the corresponding function that each function button can complete. Some multimedia device technology developers use a method of integrating multiple functions on one or a class of buttons to solve The increase of function buttons brings inconvenience to the user. For example, the US Patent and Trademark Office published a public number of US 2 0 0 2/0 1 2 2 0 7 9 on September 5, 2002. A patent application whose name is a multimedia device (Multimedia Interactive Device

Function Selection Based Upon Button Depression Dui * at1〇n) ''. The patent application discloses a method for performing different functions based on the duration of the button press. In the patent application

One of the digits has different functions, which should be preferred between the 1J series, then when you press the number key, a real key (for example, you can operate the system when it is continued). In the middle, press and hold, for example, the length of the button 3]. For example, press the number key to select the number of keys π 1 f J 2 less. Operation; if you update the number for a long time by line (such as the operation of super good channel) Any one of the eighteen on the control panel of the TV, according to the press 鐽 from pressing to loosening the two keys to perform the corresponding number key: time (for example, 0 to 1 second) will release the operation of the corresponding channel; if you press At the next time, 'the system executes the operation of selecting the number key for a longer time and the key corresponds to the favorite channel; if it is 6 seconds later', the system executes the application for clearing the button without adding updates and clearing of the favorite channel. Press two :::: brother :, the corresponding function can be completed through each digital button, and besides a, Shu can use a mode switch button to perform the channel switching function of favorite channel mode II and mode. This patent application Although the plan avoids the use of the Hi-Fun 迢 selection and switching function buttons, but to a certain extent wasted ^, the user's operation time, if the user needs to clear a favorite channel, they must hold 1 for up to 6 seconds The clock time, once released accidentally in the middle, the BeJ system will perform other uncertain function operations against the user ’s wishes and it is possible. Therefore, the user ’s personal preference channel is disrupted. And the button is continuously pressed During the process, there is no operation prompt information for the user's reference.

It is necessary to provide a multimedia device with a multi-function button. The multi-function buttons of the two nights media equipment integrate the functions of powering on / powering off / entering the on-screen video control menu / confirming the operation of the multimedia device.

V. Description of the invention (3) Function buttons can be executed when the multimedia device is in different states. "The operation is performed, and the power-off operation is performed by pressing the multi-function button continuously-the power is actually turned off after this time, and The entire process will display the camp screen sheep and operation prompt information for users' reference. Display [Content of the invention] The object of the present invention is to provide a multimedia # device with a multi-function button. With the multi-function button, the power on of the multimedia device can be performed:, the power is turned off, and the on-screen video control (OSD: 0n) is performed. Screen Display) menu status, read menu operations, and more. Another object of the present invention is to provide a processing method for multimedia equipment, which can judge the running state of the equipment and the button state, and perform corresponding function operations based on the judgment results and display operation prompt information on the screen. The multimedia button of the present invention adopts different operation functions. For the specific solution, if you enter the system button and release it after the initialization, the media will turn on the device, and the source will be pressed until the multimedia playback time is released, and it will be pressed to close the electric prompt information. If you enter the screen view The control and selection of a single device provides a multi-functional operation mode when the device is in a constant state: When the multimedia device is connected to the operating ring, once the power control device of the body device is installed, when the multimedia device is in the state, press the multi-function to turn off the power of the device to end the multi-function. Before the source, the multi-function button of the multimedia device is in the closed state of the device. When the multi-function button is in the same state, the multi-function button completes different power-on and completes the first press of the multi-function button to command multimedia playback according to this operation. The device can press buttons for a period of media playback. Before the button is released on the display screen before the power is released, the user can select

Page 7 200529666 V. Description of the invention (4) Single operation. At this time, the multi-function button can be used as a menu confirmation button. · The processing method of the multimedia device of the present invention can be used for judging the running status of the device and judging the length of time for which a button is pressed, and processing different function operations according to the judgment result. The details include the following: when the multimedia device is in a power-off state, pressing the above button turns on the power of the multimedia device; when the multimedia device is in a power-on state, pressing the above button for a preset length of time turns off the power of the multimedia device; If the above button is pressed before the preset time duration is exhausted, the multimedia device enters the OSD: On Screen Display menu state J to calculate the length of time that the button is pressed; And according to the duration of the press, the corresponding prompt information is displayed on the display screen in time periods. ^ The multimedia device and its processing method of the present invention integrate many functions of the multimedia device into a multi-function button. By using the multi-function button, the user can conveniently turn on / off the device's power / enter the on-screen control menu status / confirm menu Operation and other functions, and the multi-function button will display prompt information on the display screen multiple times when the device is powered off. [Embodiment]
