Abstract
A PIP processing system and method of a monitor coupled to a computer main body, include a mouse coupled to the computer main body outputting a mouse signal and a mouse input processing part provided in the computer main body coupled to the mouse, converting the mouse signal into a PIP screen control signal to control a PIP function, and transmitting the PIP screen control signal to the monitor. A PIP processing part supports the PIP function displaying a main picture as a full screen and a PIP screen smaller than the main picture. A micro controller controls the PIP processing part based on the PIP screen control signal transmitted from the mouse input processing part, and adjusts a size or a position of the PIP screen.
Claims16
A PIP processing system of a monitor coupled to a computer main body, comprising:
- a device coupled to the computer main body outputting an input signal;
- an input processing part in the computer main body converting the input signal into a PIP screen control signal and transmitting the PIP screen control signal to the monitor;
- a micro controller transmitting to the computer main body PIP screen data comprising at least one of a size and a position of a PIP screen to be displayed on the monitor;
- and
- a PIP screen controller in the computer main body transmitting frame data to the monitor to visually limit a display area of the PIP screen against a main screen on the monitor based on the PIP screen data.
A PIP processing system of a monitor coupled to a computer main body, comprising:
- a mouse coupled to the computer main body outputting a mouse signal;
- a mouse input processing part provided in the computer main body coupled to the mouse, converting the mouse signal into a PIP screen control signal to control a PIP function, and transmitting the PIP screen control signal to the monitor;
- a PIP processing part supporting the PIP function displaying a main picture as a full screen and a PIP screen smaller than the main picture;
- and
- a micro controller controlling the PIP processing part based on the PIP screen control signal transmitted from the mouse input processing part, and adjusting at least one of a size and a position of the PIP screen.
A method of controlling a PIP processing system of a monitor receiving video signals from a computer main body and another video signal source and displaying a main picture as a full screen and a PIP screen smaller than the main picture, comprising:
- determining whether a mouse signal from a mouse coupled to the computer main body is inputted to adjust a PIP screen;
- converting the mouse signal into a PIP screen control signal when the mouse signal is inputted to adjust the PIP screen;
- and
- adjusting at least one of a size and a position of the PIP screen based on the PIP screen control signal.
A method of controlling a PIP processing system of a monitor coupled to a computer main body, comprising:
- generating an input signal from a device coupled to the computer main body;
- converting the input signal into a PIP screen control signal;
- transmitting to the computer main body PIP screen data comprising at least one of a size and a position of a PIP screen to be displayed on the monitor;
- transmitting frame data to the monitor to visually limit a display area of the PIP screen against a main screen on the monitor based on the PIP screen data;
- and
- adjusting at least one of the position and the size of the PIP screen on the basis of the PIP screen control signal.
