Abstract
Statusanzeige für ein Bildschirmsichtgerät (9), mit
– einer Kathodenstrahlröhre (3),
– einer Einrichtung (5) zur stufenweisen Zurückführung der Leistungsaufnahme des Bildschirmsichtgeräts (9) bei Nichtbenutzung, und
– einer Einrichtung (6,7) zur Anzeige des Status der Leistungsaufnahme, wobei die Einrichtung (6,7) zur Anzeige Status der Leistungsaufnahme bei zurückgeführter Leistungsaufnahme mit einer vorgegebenen Frequenz blinkt, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Einrichtung (6,7) zur Anzeige des Status der Leistungsaufnahme mit einer vorgegebenen Frequenz blinkt, die um so niedriger ist, je weiter die Leistungsaufnahme des Bildschirmsichtgeräts (9) zurückgeführt ist, und daß die Blinkfrequenz der Einrichtung (6,7) zur Anzeige des Status in der Weise verändert wird, daß die Einschaltdauer gleich bleibt, wohingegen die Ausschaltdauer verändert wird.Status display for a screen display (9), with
- a cathode ray tube (3),
- A device (5) for gradually reducing the power consumption of the screen display device (9) when not in use, and
- A device (6,7) for displaying the status of the power consumption, the device (6,7) for displaying the status of the power consumption when the power consumption is returned flashing at a predetermined frequency, characterized in that the device (6,7) for display the status of the power consumption flashes at a predetermined frequency, the lower the further the power consumption of the screen display device (9) is reduced, and that the flashing frequency of the device (6,7) for displaying the status is changed in such a way that the on time remains the same, whereas the off time is changed.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Statusanzeige für ein Bildschirmsichtgerät, mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs nach Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a status display for a Screen display unit, with the features of the preamble according to claim 1.
Moderne Bildschirmsichtgeräte bzw. Computer-Monitore weisen ein sogenanntes Powermanagement auf, das bei Nichtbenutzung des Monitors die Leistungsaufnahme des Monitors stufenweise zurückführt. Die jeweiligen Stati der Leistungsaufnahme werden z. B. als „normal mode", „suspend mode", „stand by mode" und „off mode" bezeichnet.Modern screen display devices or Computer monitors have a so-called power management that the power consumption of the monitor when the monitor is not in use gradually leads back. The respective status of the power consumption z. B. as "normal mode "," suspend fashion "," stand by mode "and" off mode ".
Damit der Benutzer erkennt, in welchem Mode sich der Monitor jeweils befindet, wird mittels einer Statusanzeige entsprechend der Leistungsaufnahme eine spezifische Anzeige erzeugt.So that the user recognizes in which fashion the monitor is located is indicated by a status display generates a specific display according to the power consumption.
Es sind verschiedene Statusanzeigen bekannt, beispielsweise wechselt, je nach Mode, die Farbe einer Leuchtdiode (rot, gelb, grün).There are different status displays known, for example, changes color depending on the fashion LED (red, yellow, green).
Darüber hinaus ist eine Statusanzeige bekannt, bei der eine Leuchtdiode mit nur einer Farbe verwendet wird, die im „normal mode" ständig leuchtet, wohingegen sie in den anderen Stati blinkt. Eine genaue Unterscheidung der jeweiligen Stati ist somit nicht möglich.In addition, there is a status indicator known in which a light-emitting diode with only one color is used which is in the "normal fashion "constantly lit, whereas it flashes in the other states. An exact distinction the respective status is therefore not possible.
Generell haben die bekannte Statusanzeigen den Nachteil, daß die verwendeten Kennzeichnungen für die einzelnen Stati für den Benutzer nicht intuitiv erkennbar sind, da sie keinerlei Zuordnung aufweisen, weiche eine Verbindung zu den jeweiligen Stati hat.Generally, the well-known status indicators the disadvantage that the used markings for the individual status for the user cannot be recognized intuitively, since they have no assignment, which has a connection to the respective status.
Aus der nicht vorveröffentlichten
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb, eine Statusanzeige für ein Bildschirmsichtgerät anzugeben, welche mit geringem Aufwand realisiert werden kann und die einzelnen Stati der Leistungsaufnahme des Bildschirmsichtgeräts gut unterscheid- und zuordenbar darstellt.Object of the present invention it is therefore to specify a status display for a screen display device, which can be realized with little effort and the individual Clearly distinguish between the states of the power consumption of the screen display and represents assignable.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by Features of claim 1 solved.
Der Vorteil der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt darin, daß durch das Ausnutzen einer physiologischen Analogie – die Blinkfrequenz der Statusanzeige ist vergleichbar mit dem Herzschlag oder der Atmung, welche bei hoher Leistung groß sind – eine intuitive Zuordnung der momentanen Leistungsaufnahme zum von der Statusanzeige angezeigten Status möglich ist, wobei durch die Beibehaltung der Einschaltdauer der Statusanzeige für alle verwendeten Frequenzen eine gute Unterscheidbarkeit der Frequenzen erreicht wird.The advantage of the present invention is that by the exploitation of a physiological analogy - the flashing frequency of the status display is comparable to the heartbeat or breathing, which high performance - intuitive Assignment of the current power consumption to that of the status display displayed status possible is, by maintaining the duty cycle of the status display for all used frequencies a good distinguishability of the frequencies is achieved.
Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen und der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels anhand von Figuren.Further advantages of the invention result themselves from the dependent claims and the following description of an embodiment with reference to Characters.
