摘要： An apparatus such as a television signal receiver controls an external device such as a digital recording/reproduction device via a digital data bus by remapping keys on a user input device. According to an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus includes an input/output terminal operative to enable signal transfer between the television signal receiver and an external device via a digital data bus. A processor is operative to detect a first command signal of a first control protocol from a user input device, and to detect one of first and second modes of the television signal receiver. The processor detects the first mode in response to making a connection between the television signal receiver and the external device via the digital data bus, and detects the second mode in response to terminating the connection between the television signal receiver and the external device via the digital data bus. The processor enables the input/output terminal to output a second command signal of a second control protocol to the external device via the digital data bus responsive to the first command signal if the first mode is detected. The processor enables a function of the television signal receiver responsive to the first command signal without enabling output of the second command signal to the external device if the second mode is detected.

摘要： An apparatus and method for controlling a video signal processing apparatus having a browser feature to protect a display device associated with the apparatus against the premature aging effects of screen burn due to an idle display when the browser feature is activated. The method includes the steps of detecting a first user input to a video apparatus, determining whether the first user input activates a browser feature of the video apparatus, and controlling the operation of the apparatus to reduce the screen burn. The operation can include setting a display parameter for the video apparatus to a first predetermined level responsive to determining that the first user input activates the browser feature, or determining an idle time and inactivating the browser feature if the idle time exceeds a predetermined period of time.

摘要： A digital television signal receiver (20) processes a digital television signal and auxiliary information contained in the digital television signal regardless of whether the auxiliary information is analog auxiliary information (36) or digital auxiliary information (34) and produces a television display signal (44) suitable for displaying the processed auxiliary information. In the case of the auxiliary information being closed caption information, the digital television signal receiver extracts and processes digital closed captioning information according to standard EIA-708 or extracts and processes analog closed caption information according to standard EIA-608. The television signal processing receiver thus allows the user the option of selecting a fallback method of obtaining captioning for a digital program signal if the digital program signal does not include digital closed captioning. Thus, if a digital television signal does not include digital closed caption information, the digital television signal receiver automatically processes any analog auxiliary information and provides a television signal having closed caption information suitable for display.
摘要翻译：无论辅助信息是模拟辅助信息（36）还是数字辅助信息（34），数字电视信号接收器（20）处理包含在数字电视信号中的数字电视信号和辅助信息，并产生电视显示信号（44 ）适用于显示已处理的辅助信息。在辅助信息是隐藏字幕信息的情况下，数字电视信号接收机根据标准EIA-708提取和处理数字隐藏字幕信息，或者根据标准EIA-608提取和处理模拟隐藏字幕信息。因此，如果数字节目信号不包括数字闭路字幕，则电视信号处理接收器因此允许用户选择为数字节目信号获得字幕的回退方法。因此，如果数字电视信号不包括数字隐藏字幕信息，则数字电视信号接收机自动处理任何模拟辅助信息，并提供具有适于显示的隐藏字幕信息的电视信号。

摘要： A method for controlling a recording function of a video apparatus improves recording quality by preventing certain display functions of the apparatus from adversely affecting the resultant recording. A problem may arise in certain video signal processing apparatuses when the user selects a recording function after selecting a particular user-activated display function because the user-activated display function may result in the recording of the video signal in an undesired format, for example a different aspect ratio, or zoom mode. According to an exemplary embodiment, the present invention overcomes this problem by providing a method that includes the steps of detecting activation of a recording function of a video apparatus, and turning off a user-activated display function of the video apparatus responsive to the detection.
摘要翻译：用于控制视频设备的记录功能的方法通过防止装置的某些显示功能对所得到的记录产生不利影响来提高记录质量。当用户选择特定用户激活的显示功能之后用户选择记录功能时，某些视频信号处理设备可能会出现问题，因为用户激活的显示功能可能导致以不期望的格式记录视频信号，例如不同的宽高比或缩放模式。根据示例性实施例，本发明通过提供一种方法来克服这个问题，该方法包括以下步骤：响应于检测来检测视频设备的记录功能的激活，以及关闭视频设备的用户激活的显示功能。
