Abstract: The present disclosure provides a TV set and a method for video messaging thereof. The method includes the following steps: a: acquiring an image and a voice message signal of a video message producer as a video message and storing the video message; b: receiving a control instruction of viewing a video message from a video message viewer and searching from stored video messages for any video message for the video message viewer, wherein if the answer is “yes”, the step c is implemented; and c: invoking the video message for the video message viewer, displaying the image of the video message producer through the TV set, and playing the voice message through a loud speaker. With the present disclosure, users can leave or read a video message when using the TV set. This extends the functions of the TV set and gives users brand new experiences.

Abstract: A TV set and a TV program processing method thereof are provided in the present disclosure. The TV set includes a control code receiving unit for receiving a control code and a TV program multiple-picture displaying unit for displaying TV program multiple-pictures according to the received control code. The TV program processing method includes the following steps: receiving a control code by a TV set, wherein the control code comprises an instruction of displaying current TV programs in a multiple-picture format; and displaying the current TV programs in the multiple-picture format according to the control code received. The TV set and the TV program processing method thereof of the present disclosure allow for displaying three or more TV programs on a same TV screen simultaneously, and also allow for displaying TV programs according to classifications of contents thereof, making it convenient to watch and use the TV set.

Abstract: A method and a device for processing a menu of an external device, and a TV receiving device are disclosed. By associating a displaying position of a menu of an external device of a display device with interface position information of an external interface, the present disclosure allows the menu of the external device to be displayed at an insertion position of the TV receiving device (i.e., a position corresponding to the external interface) so that the user can clearly know the using conditions of the external interface. This makes the TV receiving device intuitive and convenient to use.

Abstract: A displaying method of information sources of a television, includes the following steps: in a first step, detecting whether signals are respectively inputted to information source inputting interfaces of the television or not; in a second step, executing and displaying reference indicators corresponding to the information source inputting interfaces respectively, for the information source inputting interfaces without the signals being inputted thereto; and generating OSD images corresponding to the peripheral devices connected to the information source inputting interfaces respectively based on the inputted signals, for the information source inputting interfaces with the signals being inputted thereto. With the present disclosure, users can judge which peripheral device the signal is inputted to and which peripheral device is available for being accessed to base on the reference indicators and the OSD image shown in the display of the television, which is convenient and humanized.
