Display processing method and display processing apparatus
View Patent ↗According to the present invention, when video resolution is changed, the TV receiver selects resolution having a priority to the graphics resolution requested by the application depending on the application types, or the TV receiver selects graphics resolution appropriate for video format resolution, thereby the TV receiver enables the clear display of graphics without causing any distortion.
1. A display processing method performed by a display processing apparatus including a composer that composes graphics with video and outputs a result of the composition, comprising:
holding graphics with a resolution requested by an application;
holding video with a predetermined resolution, the video being received via digital broadcast and being decoded;
determining whether to enlarge or reduce the graphics in order to compose the graphics with the held video; and
composing the enlarged or reduced graphics with the held video, and outputting a result of the composition by the composer,
wherein when a format of the received video is changed during the outputting of the result of the composition, the resolution of the held video to be composed is changed based on the change of the format of the received video,
whether the resolution of the graphics should be changed in response to the change of the resolution of the held video based on the change of the video format of the received video is judged by referring to a list indicating combinations of permitted graphics resolutions and video resolutions,
when the resolution of the graphics corresponding to the changed resolution of the held video is indicated in the list, the resolution of the graphics is changed to the resolution of the graphics corresponding to the changed resolution of the held video,
the changing of the resolution of the graphics is notified to the application,
and the graphics, whose resolution has been changed and which is to be composed, is enlarged or reduced so that the graphics, whose resolution has been changed and which is to be composed, can be composed with the held video whose resolution has been changed based on the change of the format of the received video, and that the result of the composition can be outputted.
2. A display processing apparatus for composing graphics with video and outputting a result of the composition, comprising:
a first holder that holds graphics with a resolution requested by an application;
a second holder that holds video with a predetermined resolution, the video being received via digital broadcast and being decoded;
a determiner that determines whether to enlarge or reduce the graphics in order to compose the graphics with the held video; and
a composer that composes the enlarged or reduced graphics with the held video;
a storage unit that stores a list indicating combinations of permitted graphics resolutions and video resolutions; and
an outputter that outputs a result of the composition,
wherein the display processing apparatus is configured so that when a format of the received video is changed during the outputting of the result of the composition, the resolution of the held video to be composed is changed based on the change of the format of the received video,
whether the resolution of the graphics should be changed in response to the change of the resolution of the changed held video based on the change of the video format of the received video is judged by referring to the list,
when the resolution of the graphics corresponding to the changed resolution of the held video is indicated in the list, the resolution of the graphics is changed to the resolution of the graphics corresponding to the changed resolution of the held video,
the changing of the resolution of the graphics is notified to the application, and
the graphics, whose resolution has been changed and which is to be composed, is enlarged or reduced so that the graphics, whose resolution has been changed and which is to be composed, can be composed with the held video of whose resolution has been changed based on the change of the format of the received video, and that the result of the composition can be outputted.
