Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a device for automatically controlling image pattern of a computer-controlled television by feeding back the image pattern displayed on the CRT screen by means of the video camera. The control device to feed back the image pattern includes a video camera faced to the CRT screen of the CCTV, for converting the image pattern into an electrical composite video signal; a RGB matrix for separating the composite video signal into the respective R, G, B components; a first, second and third analog-to-digital converters for respectively R, G, B components into corresponding R, G, B digital signals; a pattern recognizor for comparing the R, G, B components with reference values programmed in advance; and a control computer for providing deflection equalizing data to the CCTV to equalize the image pattern distorted, according to the comparing result of the pattern recognizor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
214 words
A device for controlling an image pattern of a computer-controlled television (CCTV) having a deflecting circuit, comprising: a pattern generator for producing an image pattern containing a synchronous signal for display by said CCTV; means for sensing said image pattern and converting said sensed image pattern into an electrical composite video signal; means operably connected to said image sensing means, for separating said composite video signal into red, green, and blue components; first, second and third means for converting said red, green and blue components into red, green and blue digital signals, respectively; means operably connected to said pattern generator, for providing said synchronous signal to said pattern generator, said synchronous signal being coupled to said respective first second and third converting means, whereby said first, second and third converting means synchronize with said pattern generator; a pattern recognizer for comparing the output of said first, second and third converting means with a reference pattern programmed in advance to control said CCTV, and for producing parameters for respective horizontal, vertical and alignment characteristics according to said comparing result; and a control computer for comparing said parameters with reference parameters and thereby producing control data according to said comparing result, said control data being coupled to said CCTV to equalize distortion of said image pattern.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
214 words
A device for controlling an image pattern of a computer-controlled television (CCTV) having a deflecting circuit, comprising: a pattern generator for producing an image pattern containing a synchronous signal for display by said CCTV; means for sensing said image pattern and converting said sensed image pattern into an electrical composite video signal; means operably connected to said image sensing means, for separating said composite video signal into red, green, and blue components; first, second and third means for converting said red, green and blue components into red, green and blue digital signals, respectively; means operably connected to said pattern generator, for providing said synchronous signal to said pattern generator, said synchronous signal being coupled to said respective first second and third converting means, whereby said first, second and third converting means synchronize with said pattern generator; a pattern recognizer for comparing the output of said first, second and third converting means with a reference pattern programmed in advance to control said CCTV, and for producing parameters for respective horizontal, vertical and alignment characteristics according to said comparing result; and a control computer for comparing said parameters with reference parameters and thereby producing control data according to said comparing result, said control data being coupled to said CCTV to equalize distortion of said image pattern.
