Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, this existing configuration only restricts the viewing and hearing of one external device, that is, a game machine. As in the current situation, an external input terminal is used to connect a television receiver with multiple external devices, such as a game machine, a video recorder, and a DVD. In the case of a VCR, the viewing time of the game console can be controlled, but external devices other than the game console, such as a VCR, DVD recorder, or tuner, cannot control the viewing time, and it is possible to watch TV for a long time
Therefore, there is a problem that children's TV viewing time cannot be reduced except for game consoles.

Abstract

A TV receiver comprises a measuring section for measuring the view time during which video signals inputted through video input terminal are displayed and a control section for stopping the display of an input video signal when the view time measured by the measuring section exceeds the pre-stored viewable time. With this, viewing of inputted video signal is limited.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a television receiver capable of viewing and listening to television broadcasts output from a tuner, and to a television receiver that can be connected to external devices such as a game machine and a video recorder. TV receiver with this function. Background technique [0002] There are roughly two types of television receivers for video and audio video signals input from video input terminals. One of them is an image signal output from the built-in tuner after inputting a broadcast signal from TV broadcasting or cable broadcasting from the RF terminal, and the other is an image signal inputting an image and sound from an external device such as a game or video through an external input terminal . [0003] Conventional television receivers control the viewing time of images input from an external input terminal connected to the game machine in order to prevent the possibility of vision ...
