    How to Display the User Menu of the Satellite Receiver
    The present invention relates to a satellite receiver capable of receiving and reproducing a broadcast signal transmitted from a satellite, and more particularly, a user for allowing a user using a satellite receiver to easily select one broadcast that he or she wishes to select. It relates to a menu display method.
    In the near future. Transmission of various signals using satellites is rapidly developing.
    The transmission of the signal using the satellite is received through the satellite receiver receiving the signal, and all the information necessary for life is transmitted as the broadcast program, which is a mass media, is transmitted through the satellite.
    For example, the genre of news, entertainment, education and film is very diversified.
    The transmission of signals through these satellites is a development of digital technology to provide clear and clear picture quality and sound quality.
    An individual user has a satellite receiver to receive signal transmissions from such satellites.
    As described above, satellite broadcasts are also diversified due to their wide variety of genres, and are also provided in several channels in the same genre.
    Therefore, it is very cumbersome for the user to refer to the program guide each time to select which channel of which genre to select, and it may be difficult to select a desired channel without this program guide.
    Therefore, the satellite receiver generally adopts a method of displaying an iconized menu screen so that the broadcast currently being received by the user can be selected according to the genre.
    In the display of such a user menu, the following problem occurs when looking at a display method made by a conventional technology.
    That is, as shown in FIG. 1, when a user selects a menu, a graphic of a menu prepared in advance is displayed on the screen.
    At this time, execution of the control is interrupted from the main routine to the menu display routine to display the main menu graphic,
    Detecting which menu selection of the selected main menu is made;
    When a menu is selected, the main menu graphic is deleted, and the graphic of the submenu is displayed.
    Detecting selection of the primary submenu, deleting the displayed submenu graphic when the selection of the submenu is made, displaying the primary submenu graphic,
    Detecting selection of the secondary submenu, deleting the primary submenu graphic being displayed when the submenu is selected, and displaying the secondary submenu graphic;
    Through this, if the final menu is selected, the control method is terminated while outputting the corresponding channel.
    The control method according to the related art as described above has a difficulty in recognizing which path enters the final menu when the user enters the sub-menus of various stages step by step due to the characteristics of satellite broadcasting having various channels of various genres. The problem is confusing.
    In addition, according to the related art, it is difficult to identify which main menu should be selected and moved to a channel of a desired menu, and also does not satisfy a user-centered environment.
    After all, the user can not easily check the menu setting process very simply and at first glance, causing inconvenience.
    The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art as described above has the following object.
    The present invention provides a method for displaying a menu of a satellite receiver so that a user-centered menu can be displayed by improving a method for displaying a user menu of a satellite receiver so that channel information can be easily obtained.
    The present invention provides a menu display method of a satellite receiver that eliminates confusion in menu selection by allowing a user to recognize which menu has been entered by displaying an entry to a multi-stage submenu simultaneously on a screen.
    1 is a flowchart showing a menu display method according to the prior art;
    2 is a flowchart showing a menu display method according to the present invention;
    The technical spirit of the present invention made to realize the above object will be described in detail below.
    In the menu display method in which a graphic of a menu prepared in advance is displayed on the screen when the user makes a menu selection for the menu selection of the satellite receiver,
    If the menu display is selected, interrupting the menu display routine from the main routine to display a main menu graphic;
    Detecting which menu selection of the selected main menu is made;
    When a menu is selected, the main menu graphic and the graphic of the corresponding submenu are simultaneously displayed;
    Detecting a selection of the primary submenu;
    When the sub-menu is selected, the main menu, the sub-menu graphic, and the primary sub-menu graphic being displayed are simultaneously displayed;
    Detecting a selection of a secondary sub-menu,
    When the selection of the secondary sub-menu is made, the main menu and the primary sub-menu graphic being displayed are deleted, and channel information of the secondary sub-menu is displayed as a text graphic;
    When the final menu is selected through the channel information, the control method is completed while outputting the corresponding channel.
    Let's look at it in more detail.
    In general, in the case of satellite broadcasting in which a broadcast program is transmitted through a satellite, various programs are supplied through many channels.
    Such a program is reproduced on a television through a satellite receiver.
    At this time, the satellite receiver divides the program by genre and displays an iconized menu on a television screen.
    The icon is created by a computer receiver in a satellite receiver set maker, stored in the storage of the satellite receiver, and controls to display the stored graphic on the screen if necessary.
    According to the present invention, at least when the display of the menu is requested as described above, the control to the subroutine for displaying the menu is executed, in which case the first main menu graphic is displayed on the screen (step 101).
    After that, when the user selects a specific menu (step 102), control is executed to simultaneously display the graphic of the submenu together with the main menu graphic (step 103).
    In addition, if the sub menu is selected one step further down (step 104), the main menu and the sub menu and the corresponding first sub menu are displayed simultaneously (step 105). Is selected (step 106), the display of the main menu, the submenu and the corresponding primary submenu being executed in step 105 is deleted, and the text menu of the secondary submenu is displayed (step 107), and any one of the text menus is deleted. Menu (i.e., channel 108) is selected (step 108) and control is terminated.
    Thus, the selected channel is played.
    Here, the display order of the sub menu may be increased variably.
    Since the final menu is for selecting a channel, the present invention satisfies the order of the sub-menu displaying each genre of the movement process to this channel at the same time.
    As described in detail above, the present invention improves the display method of the user menu of the satellite receiver to enable user-oriented menu display, so that the user can obtain channel information more easily. The present invention has the effect of eliminating confusion in menu selection by allowing the user to recognize which menu has been entered by the user by simultaneously displaying the entrance to the screen, thereby having the excellent effect of maximizing the convenience of operation. will be.
