Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to displaying textual or graphic data on a television screen, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for displaying video cassette recorder (VCR) and/or television programming or prompting commands in various languages.
- VCRs generally come equipped with programming commands pre-stored in the VCR's permanent memory in a local language format, which are later displayed on a TV screen during programming operation. For instance, English would be the local language pre-stored in the VCR's permanent memory for VCRs sold in the United States. However, if the television viewer programming the VCR does not read English, it can make the difficult task of programming a VCR even that much more difficult.
- To facilitate the process for the viewer, VCR commands will now be displayed in a variety of foreign languages. These foreign language commands, while not pre-stored in the VCR's permanent memory, will be brought to the viewer across the television signal coming into the viewer's home. This invention eliminates the need to take a VCR back to the manufacturer to have the VCR's permanent memory replaced each time a different language command set is desired. Television signals are composed of a program signal, the portion of the signal that transmits the TV picture, and a vertical blanking interval (VBI), the portion of the signal that stores various data types or messages. The VBI will be used to bring the foreign language VCR commands into the VCR and then stored in the VCR's temporary memory. The viewer can then select the foreign language of choice from options displayed on the screen and thus, program the VCR in his or her native language.
- According to the invention, foreign language VCR and/or television commands are transmitted to the viewers home, in the VBI or via another transmission link. The foreign language commands are then stored in the temporary memory for later use. Each set of foreign language commands also contains a unique language identifier used to create the menu of options available to the viewer. For example, if Spanish, French, and Chinese foreign language commands are available in the VBI, the viewer menu would display these languages as well as English on the TV screen for the viewer to use to select his or her options.
- During operation, the viewer uses the TV remote control to select the language of his or her choice from the menu displayed on the television screen. The language identifiers available are compared with a user inputted language identifier. The foreign language commands corresponding to the user inputted language identifier are stored in the temporary memory for display on the television screen. If no foreign language command sets are stored, the local language pre-stored in permanent memory will be displayed on the television screen.
- Preferably, a microprocessor is programmed to seamlessly retrieve the commands in the desired language for display on the television screen.
- The features of a specific embodiment of the best mode contemplated of carrying out the invention are illustrated in the drawings in which
- FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a microprocessor controlled television receiver and/or VCR programmed to practice the invention;
- FIG. 2 is an diagram representing data transmitting in the VBI;
- FIG. 3 is a diagram representing equivalent data that illustrate the operation of the invention; and
- FIG. 4 is a television screen display of a menu for viewer selection of the language for the commands.
- The invention contemplates the transmission of foreign language translations of a command set, called equivalent data, to be displayed on the screen of television receivers instead of a local language version of the command set. The command set can represent on-screen prompts to guide the viewer in programming a VCR or performing other VCR and/or television related tasks such as initial setup or sound or picture adjustment. The transmitted equivalent data includes a plurality of foreign language translations of, or graphical data representations of, the local language and a plurality of language identifiers, each being unique to one of the foreign language translations or graphical data representations. The invention is described below in conjunction with a cable television service, but it can also be used in a satellite or broadcast television service.
- A host program source and a source of equivalent data at the headend of a television transmission system are coupled to a vertical blanking interval (VBI) encoder to insert the equivalent data into the VBI of the television signal. Alternatively, the equivalent data could be transmitted on a subcarrier of the television signal, a telephone connection, or by other known means for carrying data. Preferably, the equivalent data is repeated continuously all the time that the source is sending out a television signal.
- In FIG. 1, the television signal is brought into the viewer's home at a
cable subscriber drop 17. The television signal, which contains the transmitted equivalent data, is coupled by a tuner anddemodulator 19 to aVBI decoder 30.Decoder 30 strips from the television signal the equivalent data transmitted in the VBI, which is then fed to amicroprocessor 22.Microprocessor 22 includes temporary storage in the form of aRAM 18. The equivalent data is stored inRAM 18. The program signal portion of the television signal is fed to atelevision screen 21. - A
remote controller 23 is coupled tomicroprocessor 22, typically by an infrared transmission link.Microprocessor 22 accesses asystem memory 24 in which the local language version of the command set is stored.System memory 24 is typically a ROM or other nonalterable data storage device. Typically, the local language version of the command set is loaded intosystem memory 24 in the factory during the manufacturing process.Microprocessor 22 decides what data is to be displayed, either the local language stored insystem memory 24 or the equivalent data stored inRAM 18. The data to be displayed is composed bymicroprocessor 22 in avideo processor 26, in well known fashion, and then sent totelevision screen 21 for display. - FIG. 2 depicts
equivalent data 32 carried in the VBI. Aheader field 34 designates the beginning of the equivalent data and controls operation ofdecoder 30 with clock run in and framing code information. Followingheader field 34 are the foreign language translations or graphical data representatives of the command set represented by encodedtextual data language identifier field - In operation, the viewer presses a set up key on
remote controller 23 to initiate a set up mode and then keys in his or her preference of foreign language. Specifically, the viewer selects the foreign language from an on-screen menu shown in FIG. 4. The default selection marked with acursor 50 is the local language, e.g., English. To select a different language the viewer movescursor 50 by operating arrow keys oncontroller 23 and then depresses an enter key oncontroller 23. The corresponding language identifier is retrieved bymicroprocessor 22 for comparison with the language identifiers transmitted in the VBI. When a match is detected bymicroprocessor 22, the corresponding language textual data is “grabbed” from the VBI and downloaded toRAM 18. For example, if the viewer wishes to select the Spanish language equivalent data set, he or she movescursor 50 and enters that choice intoremote controller 23. In such case,microprocessor 22 displays the commands in the selected language. If no equivalent data set is stored inRAM 18, i.e., if the viewer does not select a foreign language,microprocessor 22 displays the local language version of the commands stored insystem memory 24. - Although it is preferable to store only a single foreign language command set in
RAM 18 to minimize the amount of data storage, all, or at least more than one, of the foreign language command sets could be downloaded toRAM 18 and the selection of the desired foreign language for display could be made by the viewer after the data is downloaded. - In FIG. 3 there is one equivalent data set for each language identifier. For example, if the local language commands include “time, channel, hour, day,” the
Spanish command set 44 includes “tiempo, canal, hora, dia,” and the French command set 4 is includes “temps, chaine, heure, jour.” The individual commands of each set also have addresses to designate where they are to be placed on the screen to create the desired message. For example, command set 44 has addresses 44 a and commands 44 b, e.g., “tiempo”, and command set 46 has addresses 46 a and commands 46 b, e.g., “temps”. The same address is used for a given command, regardless of the language, e.g., “001” for tiempo and temps, because the address identifies the location of the command displayed on the screen. The same addresses are also used for the local language command set stored insystem memory 24, i.e., “001” for temperature. In other words, the address of each local language command insystem memory 24 is the same as the address of the corresponding foreign language command inRAM 18. - Alternatively, a different address structure could be used for the local language command set so each television manufacturer could select its own address structure. In this case, a table is downloaded to RAM18 in the VBI after the viewer keys in a identification code for h/her particular television model and brand to relate the addresses of the native language to the addresses of the foreign language.
-
Microprocessor 22 is programmed to operate seamlessly regardless of the language selected by the viewer. A status bit is stored inmicroprocessor 22. The status bit is one value i.e., binary “1”, if a foreign language command set is downloaded to RAM 18, i.e., the downloaded foreign language is to be displayed, and the status bit is the other value, i.e., binary “0”, if no foreign language command set has been selected, i.e., the local language is to be displayed. Whenmicroprocessor 22 makes a call for a command in the course of its operation, an address is issued to designate the screen location of the command.Microprocessor 22 checks the status bit to determine its value. If the status bit is a binary “1”, the address is routed to RAM 18 to retrieve the foreign language command to be displayed at the screen location designated by the address. (If a table is stored inRAM 18. The issued address is converted by reference to the table to an address that designates the screen location at which the foreign language command is to be displayed.) If the status bit is a binary “0”, the address is routed tosystem memory 24 to retrieve the local language command to be displayed at the screen location designated by the address. - Since not all television receivers come with a local language stored in
system memory 24, all of the equivalent data sets, including the local language, can be transmitted and stored inmicroprocessor RAM 18. In this case. There is no default language choice and the viewer must make a choice from the menu of FIG. 4. - The described embodiments of the invention are only considered to be preferred and illustrative of the inventive concept; the scope of the invention is not to be restricted to such embodiments. Various and numerous other arrangements may be devised by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention.
