Abstract

See full text

A boot-up method for a digital television device is disclosed which significantly reduces the boot-up time when the power is turned on. At power-on, the control processor first loads a first subset of all the required registers, and start to perform a display function using the first subset of the register values. While the user is viewing the displaying images, the processor loads the remaining registers and completes the boot-up process. The first subset of registers to load may be determined based on information about the last state of the television device before it was last turned off, e.g., what input source a viewer was viewing. Alternatively, it maybe a predetermined subset of registers corresponding to a predetermined initial function.
