Method and apparatus of adjusting monitor display
First Claim
1. A method of adjusting a display of a monitor, comprising the steps of:
- selecting a display function controlling the display by pressing a select key on the monitor;
automatically varying a parameter value associated with the selected display function to alter the display in response to the selecting step, for demonstrating the effect of the selected display function on the monitor;
ceasing to vary the parameter value of the selected display function when an adjust key used for adjusting the parameter value of the selected display function is pressed; and
modifying the parameter value of the selected display function by pressing the adjust key.

Abstract
A method and apparatus of adjusting the display of the monitor by modifying the parameter values of the adjustable display functions. When the user begins to press the select key on the control panel, the display of the monitor is altered by recursively varying the parameter value of the selected display function from the maximum to the minimum, for indicating the type of the display function to be selected. Such a dynamic display can be obtained by using the microcontroller of the monitor. The monitor will exhibit the display effect of the display function to be selected. Therefore, the user can realize the display effect of these display functions, without having to memorize the simplified figures associated with these display functions. Then the user can adjust the display of the monitor through depressing the adjust key on the control panel.

9. An apparatus of adjusting a display of a monitor, comprising:
-
a means for storing parameter values corresponding to a plurality of display functions that control the display; a control panel, having a select key for selecting one of the display functions and an adjust key for modifying the parameter value of the display function selected by the select key; a controller for generating a control signal in accordance with the display function selected by the select key and the modified parameter value set by the adjust key, wherein the controller, in response to pressing the select key, automatically varies the parameter value of the selected display function and modulates the control signal based on the varied parameter so as to alter the display in accordance with the selected display function, and in response to pressing the adjust key, ceases to vary the parameter value of the selected display function; and a display circuit for altering the display of the monitor in response to the control signal from said controller. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
