Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the need for a conventional large photosensor unit and an A/D converter, and to detect a center position easily simply by moving the travel direction of an alignment pattern in horizontal and vertical directions. SOLUTION: In the automatic convergence correction circuit, a plurality of photosensor units are arranged at a fixed interval along a periphery on the rear of a screen, and four small sensors are arranged in a measure shape on the same board in each photosensor unit. The detection output of the small sensors is inputted to an arithmetic unit for addition/subtraction operation of each detection output, and the position of the photosensor unit is detected for horizontal and vertical directions based on the arithmetic result. Convergence deviation distance to a position that is subjected to converse adjustment in advance and a detected photosensor unit position is obtained, and convergence correction is made based on the positional relationship.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a car radio receiver that can automatically tune specific information program that is intermittently and repetitively broadcast. SOLUTION: The on-vehicle audio broadcast receiver is provided with an antenna 1, a tuner circuit 2 that tunes a received radio wave, detects and demodulates the tuned radio wave, an audio output means, a changeover circuit 3 that is placed to a pre-stage of the audio output means and changes the tuner circuit 2 or an external audio source and connects the selected circuit or source to the audio output means, a digital audio recognition circuit 18 that monitors an output of the tuner circuit 2 and recognizes and stores a characteristic audio pattern including time information of a specific information program, a time counter and a time comparator circuit 9 that compares the stores time information with the output of the time counter. Then the time comparator circuit 9 as the on-vehicle audio broadcast receiver outputs a signal to allow the changeover circuit 3 to change the tuner circuit 2 when the time comparator circuit 9 detects coincidence of time.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily detect the location of a sensor by merely moving an alignment pattern laterally or vertically, without using conventional large-size optical sensor units or A/D converters. SOLUTION: An automatic convergence correction circuit is structured so that a plurality of optical sensor units are located at regular intervals along the periphery of the rear face of a screen, each optical sensor unit comprising two small sensors located diagonally on one and the same substrate, and the detection outputs of these small sensors are inputted into the positive side and the negative side of an operational amplifier and adding and subtracting operations are conducted for each detection output. Based on the operation results, the horizontal and vertical locations of the optical sensor units are detected, to find out the deviation of convergence at the detected locations of the optical sensor units from that at the convergence-adjusted locations. Based on the relation among thee locations, convergence correction is made. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify a design and to unnecessitate a microcomputer for storing coeffts. so as to reduce the scale of hardware and the cost by changing a clock signal frequency to be supplied to digital filters in response to a linear velocity in an optical disk reading-out position. SOLUTION: The digital filters are connected in three-stage series, and a frequency-divided clock signal CL is supplied to individual delay circuits Z . The coeffts. KA-KF are set to be optimum coeffts at the linear velocity V as an arbitrary velocity from a min. to a max., and these coeffts are always constant even at the time of changing the linear velocity V. On the contrary, the clock signal frequency is changed in response to the linear velocity V in the optical disk reading-out position. Provided the clock signal frequency at the time of the max. linear velocity V is a max. frequency in its processible range, whenever the linear velocity V becomes half, the clock signal frequency is also halved. Thus, an effect equivalent to the coeffts. KA-KF changed substantially in response to the linear velocity V is obtained.

A method and an apparatus of re-adjusting convergence of a projection TV are disclosed. The apparatus includes a display device on which an image is projected and at least one light-sensing element (101) being provided around the display device. The light-sensing element (101) is composed of first and second sub-sensors (101a, 101b) that generate separate output signals as a projected alignment pattern moves over the sub-sensors (101a, 101b). The apparatus further includes a microprocessor calculating a convergence re-adjustment vector by obtaining a location of the light-sensing element (101), from which a previous convergence correction was made. The location of the light-sensing element (101) is obtained by analyzing the output signals. By using the apparatus and method of present invention, the misconvergence of the projection TV can be corrected very quickly and precisely.
