Abstract

A television system capable of displaying a second image (such as a PIP or POP image) that consists of two modifiers and a signal processing circuit, as well as a receiving circuit to guide the channels to be transmitted. In response to the "BROWSE" command, the receiver will maintain the currently set first channel as the main picture and will show detailed program details about the TV show on the second channel. And stimulate the cycle Show the second picture to work. And adjust the second modulator to the second channel In which way, viewers will be able to watch at the same time. Which details the list of shows via call Landscape on the second channel And the second picture of the show on the second channel Without having to modify it From the first channel that is the main picture

Such number An on-screen circuit to generate a signal displayed on the monitor and the second image processor. For generating a signal which, when displayed on the screen, will Causing the second image to appear Such a control in response to an input of a select command (BROWSE) by the user is fixed. On the channel that was set Then on the first modulator to make up the main image and will Causing the circuit to be displayed on the said screen Shows the current TV show on the second channel and will operate in the first state when the second picture does not work at the time the BROWSE command is received or in the response state at Where the second image is executed at the time the BROWSE command is received, such a controller in the first state of operation allows the second modulator to adjust the aforementioned second image. say And make the aforementioned second image processor the aforementioned second image And in the second working condition, the modulator will not The second signal tuned to another channel. 5. TV receiver according to claim 4 which the controller will cause Displays options that can be customized. Which, when selected by the user, will make it work in the Which one can happen 6. TV receiver according to claim 4, which in the first condition It responds to a BROWSE command that has been entered by the user. The second image will be displayed in the area of the screen. That there were no programs related to television shows that exist at that time On the second channel and the news will be displayed. To show that the second picture and the details of the transaction are related. 7. TV receiver according to claim 4, which in the second operating condition By responding to the BROWSE command given by the user. The second image will be displayed in the area of the screen. There are no television programs currently available on the second channel and news will be shown. To show that the second image and the list are not related. 8. TV receiver that contains First signal modulator And signal processing circuit for receiving and processing TV signal Second modulator And signal processing circuit for receiving and processing TV signal User active data input circuit It is customized to receive instructions or user input, controls that respond to such commands or user-provided information. To create a control signal, a memory circuit to collect information about a television show on a certain number of channels and to store tuning information for that number of channels. A decoder for receiving and decoding information about TV shows on That number field The decoder has an output that is connected to the said controller. An on-screen circuit to generate a screen display signal, and a second image processor to generate a signal that, when displayed on the screen, will Make the second picture show up In response to a command prompt (BROWSE), the user retains the currently tuned channel. On the first mixer to create the after image as well as to the second channel on the second mixer. To create the aforementioned second image, which causes the second image processor to show the second image. And make the circuit display on the monitor Show items related to The television shows that were available at that time on the second channel. Such a control, in response to the ENTER command entered by the user, will cause the Tune to the first signal, tune to the second channel. It will also separate the item from the monitor and cause the second image processor to stop displaying the second image. 9. TV receiver that contains First modulator and signal processing circuit for receiving and processing TV signal Second modulator And signal processing circuit for receiving and processing TV signal A switch with one input for receiving signals from one modulator. Second input For receiving the signal from the second modulator And the output for which the signal is selected from First input or second input By responding to such switch control signals User operated data input circuit It is modified to receive instructions or user input, controls that respond to instructions or user-provided information. To generate control signals A memory circuit to store information about a television show on a number of channels and to store tuning information for that number of channels A decoder for receiving and decoding information related to a television show on a channel Such number The decoder has an output that is connected to the said controller. An on-screen circuit to generate the on-screen signal and a second image processor to generate the signal which, when displayed on the screen, will Resulting in the display of the second image Such a control in response to the entry of the BROWSE command. Which the user will maintain Which channel is adjusted At that moment on the first modulator to create the main image. As well as will adjust the channel The second on the second modulator to create a second image. Making the second image processor This shows the second picture.
