Picture display device, and setting modification method and setting modification program therefor
First Claim
1. A picture display device capable of displaying picture content, the picture display device comprising:
- an audio input unit configured to obtain a voice uttered by an operator who is a person;
an imaged picture input unit configured to obtain an image picture of the operator;
a storage unit configured to store settings information related to a settings change applied to the picture display device and operator information related to an operator instructing the settings change to the picture display device so that the settings information and the operator information are associated with each other;
an operator identification unit configured to newly acquire information related to an operator operating the picture display device and compare the information related to the operator newly acquired with the operator information stored in the storage unit to perform an operator identification process; and
a control unit configured to be capable of controlling a plurality of control states including;
a first control state in which, in a case where as a result of the identification process in the operator identification unit, operator information corresponding to the information related to the operator newly acquired is stored in the storage unit, the settings change based on the settings information stored in the storage unit in association with the corresponding operator information is applied to the picture display device, anda second control state which enables, in case where no operator information corresponding to the information related to the operator newly acquired is stored in the storage unit, a storing process for newly storing operator information related to a new operator into the storage unit without applying the settings change based on the settings information already stored in the storage unit, the storing process for newly storing the operator information related to the new operator into the storage unit is performed after the control unit receives a power off command,wherein the settings information is settings information related to a layout on a display screen on which a picture content, an icon related to an acquisition source of information acquirable via a network by a network connecting function of the picture display device, and an icon related to an application executable in the picture display device are displayed together,wherein the operator identification process is performed by comparing the information related to the operator newly acquired based on the imaged picture obtained by the imaged picture input unit with the operator information stored in the storage unit, andwherein the operator identification process is performed after a predetermined keyword, that is to be a trigger of starting the operator identification process, is recognized as being included in the voice obtained by the audio input unit.

6. A setting modification method for a picture display device including an audio input unit configured to obtain a voice uttered by an operator who is a person, and an imaged picture input unit configured to obtain an image picture of the operator, the setting modification method comprising:
-
a storage step of storing settings information related to a settings change applied to the picture display device and operator information related to an operator instructing the settings change to the picture display device so that the settings information and the operator information are associated with each other; an operator identification step of newly acquiring information related to an operator operating the picture display device and comparing the information related to the operator newly acquired with the operator information stored in the storage step to perform an operation identification process; and a control step capable of controlling a plurality of control states including; a first control state in which, in a case where as a result of the identification process in the operator identification step, operator information corresponding to the information related to the operator newly acquired has already been stored in the storage step, the settings change based on the settings information stored in the storage step in association with the corresponding operator information is applied to the picture display device, and a second control state in which, in a case where no operator information corresponding to the information related to the operator newly acquired is stored in the storage step, a storing process for newly storing operator information related to a new operator is enabled without applying the settings change based on the setting information already stored in the storage step, the storing process for newly storing the operator information related to the new operator into the storage unit is performed after the control unit receives a power off command, wherein the settings information is settings information related to a layout on a display screen on which a picture content, an icon related to an acquisition source of information acquirable via a network by a network connecting function of the picture display device, and an icon related to an application executable in the picture display device are displayed together, wherein the operator identification step is performed by comparing the information related to the operator newly acquired based on the imaged picture obtained by the imaged picture input unit with the operator information stored in the storage step, and wherein the operator identification step is performed after a predetermined keyword, that is to be a trigger of starting the operator identification step, is recognized as being included in the voice obtained by the audio input unit. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
