ABSTRACT:
By adapting an apparatus and method for managing memos to a video processing apparatus, memo data relating to meetings and events are input and stored, and then reported to the user around the designated day recorded in the memo data. For this function, the apparatus includes a video processor and an audio processor to respectively process a video signal and an audio signal, both for a video program, an operation device to receive the memo data designated by a user, a microcomputer which stores and manages the memo data from the operation device, for timely generating character and audio information, and which generates an alarm control signal to confirm the memo data in accordance with the stored date, an on-screen-display (OSD) circuit to convert the character information from the microcomputer into video signal form, a video switch for switching between the output of the OSD and the output of the video processor, an audio information processor for converting the audio information from the microcomputer into audio signal form, an audio switch for switching between the output of the audio processor and the output of the audio information processor, and an alarm operated by an alarm control signal for indicating the existence of a desired memo. The memo data input by a viewer are periodically searched to remind the viewer of the memo contents in advance of the date within the memo by generating video and audio messages.
