Electronic apparatus and method of initializing setting items thereof

Abstract

An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus is controlled by using parameters relating to a plurality of setting items, including: a specifying unit performing an operation of specifying a setting item out of the plurality of setting items; and a display processing unit displaying a numeric keypad to input a parameter relating to the specified setting item and an initialization icon to initialize the specified setting item on a graphical user interface screen. Further, the electronic apparatus includes: an initial value storing unit storing initial values set/changed regarding the plurality of setting items; and an initialization processing unit returning the parameter of the specified setting item to the initial value based on an operation of the initialization icon.

         12 . An electronic apparatus comprising:
 selecting means for selecting a setting item from a plurality of setting items being displayed on a graphical user interface screen; and   display processing means for displaying, on the graphical user interface screen, a pop-up screen on which a numeric keypad to input a parameter relating to the selected setting item is displayed, when a particular setting item is selected, wherein upon selection of the particular setting item, a user can check whether the selected particular setting item is initialized,   wherein the pop-up screen is independent of the graphical user interface screen.   
     
     
         13 . The electronic apparatus as claimed in  claim 12 , further comprising:
 displaying an initialization icon on the graphical user interface.   
     
     
         14 . The electronic apparatus as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein when the initialization icon is removed from the graphical user interface screen when the selected particular setting item is not initialized. 
     
     
         15 . The electronic apparatus as claimed in  claim 12 , further comprising:
 determining whether the selected particular setting item is capable of being initialized.   
     
     
         16 . The electronic apparatus as claimed in  claim 15 , further comprising:
 initializing the selected particular setting item when the selected particular setting item is capable of being initialized.   
     
     
         17 . The electronic apparatus as claimed in  claim 12 , further comprising:
 assigning an initial value to the selected particular setting item; and   closing the pop-up screen.   
     
     
         18 . An electronic apparatus comprising:
 selecting means for selecting a setting item from a plurality of setting items being displayed on a graphical user interface screen;   display processing means for displaying, on the graphical user interface screen:
 a pop-up screen on which a numeric keypad to input a parameter relating to the selected setting item is displayed when a particular setting item is selected, and 
 an initialization icon that initializes a parameter relating to the selected setting item, 
   wherein the pop-up screen is independent of the graphical user interface screen, and   wherein upon selection of an initialization icon, the parameter relating to the selected setting item is set to an initial value.   
     
     
         19 . A method of initializing setting items in an electronic apparatus controlled by using parameters relating to a plurality of setting items, comprising the steps of:
 displaying an initialization icon to initialize a specified setting item on a graphical user interface screen in the case of said specified setting item having an initial value in the parameter, and not displaying said initialization icon in the case of said specified setting item not having an initial value in the parameter, based on an operation of specifying the setting item out of said plurality of setting items; and   returning the parameter of said specified setting item to said initial value, based on an operation of said initialization icon,   wherein the display of the initialization icon is determined based on whether the setting item has an initial value,   wherein the plurality setting items set initial parameters for at least an effect pattern, a color of boundary lines, and a width of the boundary lines for a transition from a first video signal to a second video signal, and   wherein the returning step returns a user-set parameter of said specified setting item to a value set upon a factory shipment of the electronic apparatus by the operation of the initialization icon.   
     
     
         20 . An electronic apparatus controlled by using parameters relating to a plurality of setting items, comprising:
 a specifying unit performing an operation of specifying a setting item out of said plurality of setting items;   a display processing unit displaying on a graphical user interface screen an initialization icon to initialize a specified setting item;   an initial value storing unit storing initial values set/changed regarding said plurality of setting items; and   an initialization processing unit returning the parameter of said specified setting item to said initial value based on an operation of said initialization icon,   wherein the display of the initialization icon is determined based on whether the setting item has an initial value,   wherein the plurality setting items set initial, parameters for at least an effect pattern, a color of boundary lines, and a width of the boundary lines for a transition from a first video signal to a second video signal, and   wherein the initialization processing unit returns a user-set parameter of said specified setting item to a value set upon a factory shipment of the electronic apparatus by the operation of the initialization icon.
