Abstract

PURPOSE:To display without losing a visibility level at the time of a function control and to make the evasion of the overlapping possible with a video signal at the time of a no-control, by switching a display form according to the presence or absence of a function control input. CONSTITUTION:A simplified form screen display (simplified form OSD) is provided with a function display location 2 and a function control variable display location 3 in the small area of the left side, for instance, of a television (TV) screen. In the location 3, control variable is displayed by a digital numerical display, and in the lower part of a TV screen 1, the area of a caption display location 4 of a video signal is secured. As for a control operation, a standard form OSD is displayed by enforcing a function control at first. If the operation of a function control input is not terminated, the display is continued as it is, but if the operation of the function operation input is terminated, the display form is switched to the simplified form OSD. Then, after fixed time passes, a screen display is turned off.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a television receiver capable of displaying a function control amount based on a function control input.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional television receiver, the function control amount display is fixed for one function operation, and the same display is maintained until a fixed time elapses after the end of the function control. There is.

FIG. 4 is an example of a flow chart showing a control operation of displaying a function control amount such as a volume in a conventional television receiver. For example, by performing function control such as volume adjustment, a screen display is made as shown in FIG. 3 (S4
1, S42), the display is continued by the same display method even after the function control is finished, and the screen display is removed after a certain time has passed (S43 to S46).

Here, in FIG. 3, 1 is a television screen,
Reference numeral 2 indicates the display position of the function control type (volume, image quality, video, etc.), and reference numeral 3 indicates the display position of the function control amount that is displayed on an analog scale. The function display and the function control amount increase the visual recognition level. For large area standard screen display (below,
The screen display is referred to as OSD).

[0005]

Since the conventional television receiver is designed to display the functions as described above, the function control amount display remains on the screen until a fixed time elapses after the function control is completed. Therefore, it is difficult to read the video signal (especially subtitles) corresponding to the display position of the function control amount,
There was a problem that the overlapping area was large.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to display without impairing the visual recognition level during function control and to avoid duplication with the video signal during non-control. It is an object of the present invention to obtain a television receiver whose display form can be switched as much as possible.

[0007]

A television receiver according to the present invention is provided with a standard screen display function for displaying a large area of a function control type based on a function control input and its control amount on a television screen. In addition to the standard screen display function, the receiver has a simple screen display function that displays the function control type and its control amount on a small screen on the display screen, and the standard screen display function according to the presence or absence of the function control input. It is provided with a switching means for switching the display mode between the screen display function and the simplified screen display function.

[0008]

In the present invention, the switching of the display form of the function control is performed depending on the presence or absence of the function control input, and when the function control is completed, the standard screen display is switched to the simplified screen display, and the function control display and the video signal are displayed. To eliminate the duplication of.

EXAMPLES Example 1. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the control operation of the present invention. 2 and 3 are simplified OSDs.
2 is an example of a standard OSD. In contrast to the conventional standard OSD shown in FIG. 3, the simplified OSD shown in FIG. 2 has a function display position 2 and a function control amount display position 3 on the left side of the television screen, for example. The function control amount display position 3 is provided in the area, and the control amount is digitally displayed by numerical display, and the area of the subtitle display position 4 of the video signal is secured in the lower area of the television screen 1. There is.

That is, the standard OSD is displayed by first performing the function control according to the flowchart showing the control operation of FIG. 1 (S11, S12). If the operation of the function control input is not finished, the display is continued as it is, but if the operation of the function control input is finished, the display form is switched to the simplified OSD (S13, S14). Then, after the elapse of a certain time, the screen display is turned off (S16).

That is, the standard OSD and the simplified OS
D is designed to be switched according to the presence or absence of function control input, and the standard OS can be used during control without impairing the visual recognition level
The screen is displayed by D, and when not controlled, the screen is displayed by the simplified OSD so that the overlap between the screen display and the video signal is reduced.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, a sufficient visual recognition level can be secured when displaying function control, and the display of function control and the video signal (particularly subtitles) can be overlapped in a short time, and The effect is that it can be easily resolved.
