According to the needs of home appliances informatization, it can not only enjoy TV programs, but also use Internet services. Not only can receive and watch TV broadcast programs in one direction, but also become a two-way multimedia communication tool that can receive and send information.

Since the 3C TV has many functions that ordinary TVs do not have, it usually provides a detailed and complete TV function interface for users to operate and realize. When the user wishes to switch back and forth between the normal TV function and other functions of the 3C TV, the usual situation is: when the 3C TV accepts the remote control or mouse remote control, it will switch to the video state and produce a set of functions on the screen The interface is convenient for users to operate, or a functional interface is directly superimposed on the real-time TV screen. The problem with this situation is that the background of the functional interface is fixed. In actual use, the single background and lack of changing function display will have a dull feeling, which is not suitable for the strong multimedia functions of 3C TV, and it is easy to cause visual fatigue when used for a long time. The interface is single and lacks good visual effects. Therefore, it is impossible to provide a means of user interface that highlights the personality or characteristics of the user. Therefore, it is necessary to improve this situation.

【Content of invention】

Therefore, the technical problem and object to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method in which the background of the TV function interface can be changed at will. This method provides users with a display of their own preferences, personality or characteristics by changing the background of the function interface. Operation interface.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for changing the background of a TV function interface. The method uses an embedded graphics system combined with the design of the graphic interface to make the function interface more individual and personal, which is convenient for users to show their individuality.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for changing the background of the TV function interface. The method provides multiple storage channels, through which the display background interface required by the user can be determined, and the realization is simple, convenient and fast.

The thinking of the present invention is: based on the TV remote control technology, the realization technology of the embedded graphic system. Through the combination of the above two technologies, coupled with the design of the graphical interface, when the user expects to change the background of the functional interface, he can switch between real-time TV screens, landscape pictures from the network or local USB disk, or personal photos, etc. Select, and when the corresponding background is selected and confirmed, the background of the function interface will change accordingly. Make the user's 3C TV function interface more personal, and enhance the personal characteristics of the interface.

Based on this, the present invention is realized like this:

A method for changing the background of a TV function interface, the method comprising the following steps:

Selection steps: the TV system provides a variety of selection channels, allowing users to choose between TV background and picture background;

Storage step: the TV system stores the picture selected by the user in a temporary memory for recall; if the TV background is selected, it does not need to be stored;

Implementation steps: When the user confirms that the background picture needs to be replaced, the TV system replaces the original picture in the background picture memory with the picture in the temporary memory, and displays the background through the functional modules of the system; if the TV background is selected , then directly call the TV picture of the video layer.

In the above selection steps, if it is a TV background, the system will directly call the dynamic TV screen; if it is a picture background, the system will prompt the user to select the source of the picture again, such as a picture downloaded from the network, a picture in a local USB device or other Pictures in the storage device, etc., and allow the user to select any picture in the specific storage device.

Usually, the TV system selects the TV background or picture by means of addressing. After starting the selection step, the TV system will point the TV background address to multiple selection channels at the same time. After the user makes a selection, determine the corresponding address and send the address storage.

When the user selects a picture that is not the video layer of the TV system, the picture and the above address are stored in the temporary memory together.

The multiple selection channels mentioned above include the background address of the video layer of the TV system, the picture address of the external storage device, and the picture address of the temporary memory.

The above-mentioned temporary memory usually adopts FLASH memory.

The background includes a background layer and an interface layer. When changing the background through the TV background stored in the TV system, the interface layer can be directly superimposed on the TV screen of the video layer and displayed. , then the background layer directly invokes the updated image in the image memory, and displays it superimposed on the interface.

The invention mainly sets an information input module and an information processing module for processing information in the television system, the information input module is connected to the information processing module, and the information processing module is connected to the function module. Usually, the functional module is a central processing unit (CPU), which controls the display and the processing of various information. In the present invention, the functional module controls the display module (display device) to display and process the functional interface of the 3C TV through the interactive interface. Moreover, the TV system is also provided with multiple interfaces for picture data input, which is convenient for picture selection and storage.

The entry channel (multiple selection channels) of the function interface background change will be placed in the system setting menu, of course, it can also be placed in the main menu, or directly called by a special key on the remote control.

When entering the background change interface of the function interface, the TV system will first prompt to choose between the two background categories of TV and pictures. If you choose TV background, you will enter the TV background customization interface; if you choose a picture, you will enter the picture customization interface.

The first case: customization with a dynamic TV picture as the background. In this case, the system first judges whether the background of the current functional interface is already in the TV state. If the background of the current function interface is not in the TV state, the system will first need to shield the background layer in the graphics layer, leaving only the interface layer, so that the interface layer of the graphics layer is directly superimposed on the TV screen of the video layer and displayed, thus Achieve the effect of changing the background of the functional interface into a TV screen. If the background of the current function interface is already in the TV state, the system will keep the current state unchanged.

The second case: choose a picture as the customization of the background of the function interface. In this case, the system first allows the user to choose among the various storage devices in the system, and when the user selects a certain storage device, the system will list all the pictures in the storage device for selection. After the user determines to select a certain picture, the system will store the selected picture in the temporary memory for future use.

Then, the system will judge whether the background of the current function interface is a picture background state. If the background of the current function interface is not in the state of picture background, the system will first enable the shielded background layer in the graphic layer, and if the background of the current function interface is already in the state of picture background, the system will not change it. Whole graphics layer will comprise complete two layers like this: background layer and interface layer; Simultaneously, because the graphics layer is superimposed on the video layer, the background layer in the graphics layer will completely or partially block the TV picture of the video layer ( The situation of occlusion depends on the size of the picture called by the background layer in the graphics layer).

Then, the system replaces the current picture in the picture memory with the selected picture in the temporary memory, and the background layer in the graphics layer directly transfers and displays the picture in the picture memory that is also updated. Thus, the background of the system function interface is changed to the picture selected by the user.

The present invention adopts the above-mentioned implementation method, combined with the technology of the TV remote controller and the implementation technology of the embedded graphics system, so that the background interface of the TV can be randomly updated and changed according to the needs of the user, which is convenient for the user and provides a variety of background options Channels provide users with a user interface that demonstrates their preferences, personality or characteristics.

And through these channels, it is determined that the user can arbitrarily select the desired display background interface, and the implementation is also simple, convenient and fast.

Usually, the access channel for the background change of the function interface will be placed in the system setting menu, of course, it can also be placed in the main menu, or directly called by a special key on the remote control.

Please refer to FIG. 3 , the TV system generally includes two layers in the display part: a video layer 50 and a graphic layer 60 , and usually, the graphic layer 60 is superimposed on the video layer 50 . The video layer 50 mainly displays the current TV program content, while the graphics layer 60 displays the functional interface of the system. Among them, the graphics layer 60 implements two virtual display layers through software: a background layer 61 and an interface layer 63 , and usually, the interface layer 63 is superimposed on the background layer 61 . The background layer 61 invokes and displays the pictures in the system picture memory, and the interface layer 63 displays the functional interface of the system.

When entering the background change interface of the function interface, the system will first prompt to choose between the two background categories of TV and pictures. If you choose TV background, you will enter the TV background customization interface; if you choose a picture, you will enter the picture customization interface.

The first case: customization with a dynamic TV picture as the background. In this case, the system first judges whether the background of the current functional interface is already in the TV state. If the background of the current functional interface is not in the TV state, the system will first shield the background layer in the graphics layer, and only the interface layer will remain in the graphics layer, so that the interface layer of the graphics layer is directly superimposed on the TV screen of the video layer and displayed , so as to achieve the effect of changing the background of the functional interface into a TV screen. If the background of the current function interface is already in the TV state, the system will keep the current state unchanged.

The second case: choose a picture as the customization of the background of the function interface. In this case, the system first allows the user to choose between various storage devices in the system. When the user selects a certain storage device, the system will list all the pictures in the storage device (usually the format of the pictures is JPG) for selection. After the user determines to select a certain picture, the system will store the selected picture in the temporary memory for future use.

Next, the system will judge whether the background of the current function interface is a picture background. If the current function interface background is not in the picture background state, the system will first enable the shielded background layer in the graphics layer, if the current function interface background is already in the picture background state, the system will not change it. Whole graphics layer will comprise complete two layers like this: background layer and interface layer; Simultaneously, because the graphics layer is superimposed on the video layer, the background layer in the graphics layer will completely or partially block the TV picture of the video layer ( The situation of occlusion depends on the size of the picture called by the background layer in the graphics layer).

Then, the system replaces the current picture in the picture memory with the selected picture in the temporary memory, and the background layer in the graphics layer directly transfers and displays the picture in the picture memory that is also updated. Thus, the background of the system function interface is changed to the picture selected by the user.
