Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a digital photo frame, and more particularly to a user interface (UI) of a digital photo frame. [Prior Art] At present, an electronic product with multiple functions for users to set or adjust is based on a hierarchical menu (h-_)'! Shown is an architectural diagram of a hierarchical menu applied to a frame. Please refer to Figure i. This order has at least = 1 ^ level (needle) pin "Main Menu"! It can be seen as the label of this hierarchical menu. The “Main Menu” has a sub-menu and the sub-small is “Face Settings” u, “Photo Show Settings” 12, “Photo Settings” 13 and 14. These four options U~14 are located in the first level, and each 14 '44" Γβ1?, 142 'U 143 ' 144 items are also burned; and the second attack five options 141~145 are located in the second level, and each - Selecting has a - sub-menu, for example "Language" 141 has "古一工, s〇„, 3 is located in the second level, and in this case is not a single male material type does not have a sub-menu The option is the bottom-level option. For the S-level option and its possible presence on the display screen as shown in the fourth level, this general electronic device is shown in Figure 2. The menu option, the function option in the display (4) is called OSD (〇n Sercen 200915167 is a common interface for current electronic devices. Display the user's choice on the display screen first ==4, including Sub-option "language" '141, ''曰期, 2222钭^^ ΐ '霄'145), and then by making _ (four) light bar (the picture is ΐ二二时, then pop-up or pull-down next to it Sub-selection soap for this option (4) (which contains the sub-option "English" 141" "Chinese, (4) 2 and 1413) At this point the user can select the option in this sub-menu: Select the desired function. (4) Move in 3 to select ΐί ' 大多数 Most of the electronic devices so far still use the interface driver as shown in Figure 2. People feel that the picture is more than a single pot lacking change, humanization ° 'providing a kind of user who looks more and more lively; behind the face, it will be able to add many business opportunities. [Invention] In view of this, the object of the present invention is The user interface of the digital photo frame is more diverse and lively, and the use of the light bar does not require the use of a light bar to clarify the options currently selected by the user (hereinafter referred to as the current option). The invention proposes that the seam phase (four) is fine, and the age is on the display screen of the digital photo frame. The user interface includes a first-display area, a second display area, and a current option box, wherein the second display area includes The plurality of options are displayed in a large and small option area, and the fonts displayed in the selected area are correspondingly large to small. The first display area is used to display one of the hierarchical menus. The k-member display area is used to respectively display the sub-selection f of the option displayed in the _display area, and the sub-options are moved between the option display areas by the simple ring. The current option box will display the option display area + The largest one is framed by its + to highlight its pre-200915167 option. In an embodiment, the second display area further includes a third display area, which is located to the right of the current option box for display in the current option box. The option displayed in the last sub-option that is set or adjusted. The user interface of the digital photo frame of the present invention uses the second display area to display the current option, f, and other options that are the same as the current option. - The display area displays the parent of the item, and uses the third display area to display the sub-option of the last setting or adjustment of the item, which can be displayed simultaneously on the user interface. The three levels of options. Furthermore, using the current option box to replace the traditional light bar's presentation, the current options are more prominent. The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent and understood. [Embodiment] It is shown as a block diagram of the money (4)-real _ 纽 ( (4) road, and the rhyme invention - the implementation of her maker interface. Please also XJ 30 31 ' ^" «3- set Si one, input device 34 and / or - remote control input attack 3_ stored picture 13 from memory 33 or external data storage device will be processed after processing The picture is sent to the display screen 32. The user can provide the user interface, as shown in Figure 4, and set it on or 35. The user passes the input device 34% to pass the lion to buy the butterfly; = Process and result of force option on the board, etc., =32· is the LCD display surface, door ° = body, etc. 'External data storage device 36, for example, 7 200915167 疋δ recall card (such as SD card, MMC card, MS card) ), a pen drive or a mini hard drive. A detailed description of the user interface displayed on the display screen 32 shown in Fig. 4A is then made. Referring to FIG. 4A again, the user interface of the digital photo frame of the present invention mainly includes a first display area 41, a second display area 42 and a current option box 45, wherein the second display area includes a plurality of option display areas 421. ~424. The first display area 41 and the option display areas 42A to 424 are both used to display the sub-menu of the option 'in the hierarchical menu as shown in FIG. 1 and the option displayed in the first display area ^. That is, it is displayed in the display area of these options as shown in ~424. In this example, the option displayed in the first display area 41 is "main menu" 1, which has a sub-menu and 誃, with four sub-options, namely "source setting, u, "photo show setting" a, heart setting and "system setting" '14' These four options 11 to 14 are sequentially displayed in the option display areas 424 to 421, respectively. It is noted that the fonts of the options displayed in the option display areas 421 to 424 are greatly reduced, so that the display area sizes of the option display areas 421 to 424 are also the same, so that the entire selection area 421 to 424 may constitute - Kind J feels that the biggest option for the font is closest to the user, while the font most = option is farthest from the user. Preferably, the deeper the option is displayed. M 1 , . The larger the °, the smaller the font (or display area) of the font grayscale or color can be designed, the lighter and shallower the 1-character gray. Therefore, the entire option display area is the second corpus thief. feel. Correction 'design - significant _5 will be selected) in it, such as the largest one in the book (or the font maximum setting of the displayed option) Μ is the box 45 box ^ ^ = the option displayed in the area 421 " The role of the light bar in the system side menu - the role of the general / representative as shown in Figure 2 is the left side of the project, so the box 45 is called the current selection of 200915167 items. The user interface of the frame also includes a Three displays the sub-options of the options displayed in _ (four) t, but only the box I °^ 'Si is displayed, enter the system, and 疋 14 sets the "language" 141 to "the option displayed in the middle entrance box 45 is "system setting" At 14 o'clock, in the second "two! Dan, the user interface of the eye frame also includes - background display two move 4, here = for example, this background picture can be provided or replaced by the user, increase the entire user = belt, spray 'touch her The immortal interface also includes the township financial indicator map 2, 48, / including the two left indicator graphic 46, an upper indicator graphic 47 and - the lower refers to the search ^ what ^ ^ display on the display 32 through the user through The input device 34 or 35 will be presented in the original way using (=4), and will be operated by Guangge 35. At the time, the butterfly pattern 46 is in the form of *, and M (that is, after the passage of the paragraph - the time is returned to the original two presentation mode. Even in the current user interface, it does not mention the complete independence and The direction indicator of the miscellaneous machine is ~., ', and H~/4D are several alternative implementations of the user interface shown in Figure 4A. 1 This is no longer the only difference in the selection of areas 421 to 424.
