It is used in the display device 2 in this embodiment. The display, the liquid crystal display or the plasma display a plurality of video wheel-in terminals 22, and other functional modules such as video and audio display and broadcast units are not described in the text. The video switching system 1 of the present invention is composed of a terminal, an S terminal, and a color difference terminal. The video switching system 1 can be, for example, a cold cathode tube display or the like. The display device 2 has at least a special description. The function of the display device 2 is actually a function of highlighting the technical features of the present invention. The video input terminal 22 is selected from video signals of various formats such as Αν, VGA, DVI, coaxial cable, and the like. 19726 8 200818887 Video input terminal. As shown in the figure, the video switching system of the present invention includes a packet 11, a judging module 12, a priority outer-I4, a storage early element storage unit 11#:) 2, and a switching module 4. At, ,, U, store the playback priority order data in the different video signal formats. This can be, for example, a non-volatile memory that is repeatedly erased by the electronic/in the example of the storage unit n, so as to store the video signal format data of the set m-order. For example: ^Λ—Priority, D VI terminal (4): priority, four priority order, / two 'first push, cable TV coaxial cable terminal has the first transmission, U type push', that is, as long as the video input terminal 22 Rhyme 3 into the head of the show Jin 9 ^ and the display of the set 2 when 1 broadcast: the priority of the signal, you can decide the video signal format of the outside 邛 槠 田月', the specific video ^ No This will cause the current video signal to be switched to the external one. The specific technical means for switching the video signal will be detailed later. The device 12 is used to determine whether an external video signal is input to the display device 2 through the terminal 22, and is input to the display device 22 through the video input terminal 22 The display device 2 ^ confirms the video format of the external video signal. As mentioned above, different formats of the transparent and corresponding formats have different playback priority sequences. Therefore, it is necessary to indicate whether the module 12 has an external video signal input to the display 2 and is in the display device 2 The video input terminal 22 receives the special message; ^ ^ 电压 电压 卞 必须 'must confirm the view of the external video signal, and determine its playback priority order, in this embodiment, the sentence 19726 9 200818887 • Broken mode The group can confirm the video format of the external video signal by detecting the noise level (Nc) level of the input video signal. The first module 13 is used to determine whether the external video signal is input to the display device 2 through the video wheel input 22 and the video format of the external video signal has been confirmed. Whether the display device 2 is currently playing other video signals, and if so, prompting whether to switch the video signal; if not, causing the display device 2 to play the external video signal. As described in the foregoing, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the display device 2 currently plays the cable television video signal received through the cable coaxial I line, and if other external video input terminals 22 receive the color difference terminal as described above, When the other video signals, such as the DVI terminal or the VGA terminal, the priority setting module U will make a message that the display device 2 is playing another video signal and prompting whether to switch the video signal, the message may be For example, the message displayed on the screen of the display split 2 (〇n ί SCreen DiSplay, 〇 SD). On the other hand, if the display device 2 does not currently play any video signal, once the video input terminal 22 receives an external video signal such as a color difference terminal, a DVI terminal or a VGA terminal, the priority setting module 13 That is, the display device 2 is driven to play the external video signal received by the video input terminal 22. The driving mode can be, for example, to activate the power of the display device 2 and switch the video signal input mode to the corresponding video input terminal 22 having an external video signal input. In addition, the priority setting module 13 can be used to set the priority of the video signal playback. Specifically, the priority setting module 丨3 can provide a priority list setting interface of 19726 10 200818887, and the interface can be, for example, a user graphical interface, and the user sets different video input terminals 22 through the priority list setting interface. After the priority of the playback, the priority setting module 13 then stores the playback priority sequence data into the storage unit, and if the storage is pre-stored with the playback priority sequence data, the user confirms the coverage. After that, in the new _ priority order: # material replaces the pre-stored playback priority order data. The switching module 14 is configured to: when the user selects to switch the video signal according to the prompt of the priority setting module, determine whether the external video signal is the priority currently playing video signal according to the playback priority order. If the video format of the video signal of priority # is reduced, the currently played video signal is switched to the external video signal; if the video format of the currently played video is not prioritized, it is prompted whether it is determined to play the field. The signal of the fairy signal is switched to the external video signal, and is switched after being determined by the user. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the user switches the currently playing video signal to the external video signal according to the inaccuracy of the switching module 14, (4) the first right to set the fishing 12 (four) input information The priority replaces the (four) right of the currently playing video signal, and the new playback k first priority order is used to replace the playback priority order data material pre-stored in the storage unit 11 "2 map, which is The video switching method of the invention is implemented in the flow chart of the video switching system.
