Definitions
- the invention relates to a menu control for electrical devices with a screen menu, which can be operated by four directional buttons and a selection button.
- Menu controls which can be operated by a so-called navigation button with four direction buttons and a selection button, are e.g. B. known from cell phone controls from Sony and Nokia as well as menu controls for televisions and VCRs.
- menu controls are usually structured differently and developed proprietary to the functions of the electrical device. Especially when a device has many functions, the menu controls are complex and confusing and can only be understood through a thorough study of the manual or with instructions according to the manual. This is often a major problem for technically not so talented people, usually older people. The result is that many functions of the devices cannot be used, since they can only be accessed through a complicated menu navigation.
- the classic structure of a menu for menu control is usually hierarchical. This structure is very easy to understand and use.
- Figures 5 and 6 schematically show such a structure.
- the menu items are listed one below the other and the focus is in each case on one menu item.
- the focus is shown in FIG. 5 by a bold frame around the menu item. If you want to select this menu item, press the OK or selection button on the remote control and move to select another menu item Focus with the directional keys up or down on another menu item.
- FIG. 6 shows an example of such a hierarchical structure with three menu levels.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of demonstrating a simple and clearly structured menu control which solves both the problem of the many hierarchical levels and of the many function keys on a remote control.
- Screen menu a list area for. Menu items and a Command area for which possible menu commands of the selected menu object have.
- An information area can also be arranged via the list area and command area to display the date and time or other information such as B. the explanation of the menu area in which you are currently located.
- This menu control is that it only consists of the list area and the command area and thus all menu objects such as menu commands can be executed via a navigation button with four direction buttons and a selection button.
- the greatest advantage of this menu control is that the user finds the same menu control for all functions of the device and can therefore move quickly and easily in the menu hierarchy. In the list area he finds all menu objects and in the command area he can choose which menu commands of the menu object he would like to execute.
- menus can also be listed as menu objects in the list area, in which case the option appears in the command area to select the menu or only to obtain information about the menu.
- the on-screen menu is preferably controlled by a remote control, but can also be done directly on the device using a keyboard or a navigation button.
- buttons are arranged on the remote control, which menu objects in the list area or menu commands in the command area can be assigned directly, the symbol of the button on the remote control for the respective menu object or menu command being shown in each case.
- Selected menu objects in the list area or menu commands in the command area are preferably highlighted in color or highlighted graphically so that the user immediately recognizes in which menu area he is.
- the structure of the menu control makes it possible for all device functions to be operated via the list and command area according to the same scheme.
- the menu control is therefore ideal for a set top box, which has a television, video recorder, Internet and mail function as well as a DVD and CD player.
- FIG. 1 shows the general replica of the screen area and a remote control
- FIGS. 2 and 3 the view according to FIG. 1 in different hierarchical levels
- 4 shows the view according to FIG. 3 with programmable function keys on the remote control, which can be assigned to menu commands.
- FIG. 5 shows a hierarchical arrangement according to the prior art
- Figure 6 shows several screen menus according to a hierarchical structure according to the prior art
- Figure 7 shows the screen menus according to the menu control according to the invention.
- Figure 1 shows a screen menu 1, as z. B. can be used for menu control of a set top box.
- the screen menu 1 has three areas, the information area 2, the list area 3 and the command area 4. All three areas are each provided with a fixed frame 5, so that the visual appearance differs from the basic one
- a remote control 6 which has at least one navigation button 7 with four directional buttons 8 and one selection button 9.
- direction keys 10 are also shown, which light up when the corresponding direction key 8 on the remote control 6 is actuated.
- Active areas are also deposited with a color A or selected areas, but no longer active areas with a color B. Further details are explained in the following figures.
- Figure 2 shows z. B. a screen menu 1 for a set top
- command area 4 With the menu select position active and highlighted with the color A.
- the TV channel menu can be selected in the command menu via menu select, the image shown in FIG. 3 then appearing.
- the list area with the color A is now automatically active again, the channel can be changed using the vertical cursor keys 8 and the selection is made via Channel select in command area 4.
- FIG. 4 shows the representation according to FIG. 3 with a further development, function keys 11 being arranged on the remote control 6, which can be assigned to individual commands in the command area 4. 5
- the symbols of the function keys 11 are shown after the assignment as picture symbols 12 next to the assigned commands.
- the menu control according to the invention is a classic hierarchical menu control, reduced to the essentials and thus easy for the user to understand.
- the menu control according to the invention avoids the disadvantages L5 of a normal classic hierarchical menu control in that on the one hand it reduces the function key to an absolute minimum and on the other hand also the steps for moving the focus in order to obtain the desired menu commands.
- Figure 7 shows an embodiment of the menu control shown in Figures 1 to 4.
- the first screen shows the television program currently running, abbreviated to TV.
- the menu control of the invention is thus a development of a classical hierarchical menu control, the four main problems - •
- buttons on a remote control are known as non-explicit methods, which have a different function in combination with the respective menu displayed on the screen.
- the user In order to be able to use the buttons or the functions, the user must combine the color and the commands as follows. 1. He focuses on an object in the menu control,
- the menu control is therefore ideal for a set top box, which many. Functions such as television, DVD, video recorder, Internet mail and media player combined.
