Abstract
An EEPROM automatic setting method and a function block control method for a TV are disclosed. The EEPROM automatic setting method includes comparing a data of the ID checking region of the EEPROM with an ID in the ROM of the television microcomputer, and storing the data in the ROM into the regions of the EEPROM when the data of the ID checking region and the ID in the ROM are not identical as a result of the comparison for thereby providing an EEPROM with a chassis ID information, automatically loading a data from a ROM of a TV microcomputer into the EEPROM in accordance with the ID of the EEPROM and operating the TV.
Claims3
In a TV function block control apparatus including a TV microcomputer controlling a function block of a television, a ROM storing a control information of the ROM and an ID therein for identifying the television chassis, and an EEPROM(Electircally Erasable and Programmable ROM) having a control information region and an ID checking region for storing a control information of the ROM and the ID, respectively, for thereby being accessed by the TV microcomputer, an EEPROM automatic setting method, comprising the steps of:
- comparing a data of the ID checking region of the EEPROM with an ID in the ROM of the television microcomputer;
- and
- storing the data in the ROM into the regions of the EEPROM when the data of the ID checking region and the ID in the ROM are not identical as a result of the comparison.
In a TV function block control method using a TV function block control apparatus including a TV microcomputer controlling a function block of a television, a ROM storing a control information of the ROM and an ID therein for identifying the television chassis, and an EEPROM having a control information region and an ID checking region for storing a control information of the ROM and the ID, respectively, for thereby being accessed by the TV microcomputer, an improved method, comprising the steps of:
- comparing a data of the ID checking region of the EEPROM with an ID in the ROM of the television microcomputer;
- and
- controlling the TV function block based on the data stored in the control information region of the EEPROM after storing the data in the ROM into each region of the EEPROM when the data of the ID checking region and the ID in the ROM are not identical as a result of the comparison, and controlling the TV function block based on the data stored in the control information region of the EEPROM when the data of the ID checking region and the ID in the ROM are identical as a result of the comparison.
