2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the remarkable development of telecommunication technology, wireless and wired new media have appeared one after another. Multimedia of so-called broadcasting, such as high-definition high-definition (HDTV), clear vision (EDTV), and multi-channel broadcasting using satellite broadcasting technology, is in progress. Electric devices in response to these trends are being developed, and various multifunctional products have appeared. For example, in television receivers, wide television receivers having an aspect ratio of 16: 9 and full flat television receivers having a completely flat display screen have become widespread.
These television receivers respond to a viewer's request to enjoy a plurality of videos on the same screen by using a picture-in-picture (Pictur
e in Picture) or two-screen picture and
It has functions such as Picture (Picture and Picture).

[0003] On the other hand, despite the fact that video cameras are widely used in ordinary households, they are used less frequently than other home appliances. One of the causes is that preparation for photographing is complicated. For example, a video camera is usually stored in a case or a shelf, and must be taken out of a storage place when used. In addition, the power supply must be connected to a power outlet via a battery or a dedicated AC adapter. In addition to the above preparations,
This is because the video camera and the television receiver must be connected by a connection cable, and the complexity is inevitable.

[0004] Another problem associated with the use of video cameras is that it is difficult for the photographer to photograph himself. That is, since a device having a built-in video camera in a television receiver is not widely used except for some video conference systems, a tripod or the like must be prepared separately in order to achieve shooting by the photographer himself. . When photographing the photographer himself in this way, it is not possible to shoot while looking through the viewfinder.To shoot while checking the composition, connect the video to the television receiver and look at the display screen with the side view. Shooting. As described above, the general usage of the conventional television receiver is to project an input image from an antenna or a video device, and together with the input image from the antenna or the video device, a signal from the built-in camera device The fact is that a television receiver that simultaneously displays the image on the display screen has not been realized yet.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to eliminate the difficulty of photographing a user himself with a conventional video camera, and to go one step further. For example, it is an object of the present invention to provide a television receiver with a makeup function that enables a user to make makeup (makeup: generally including grooming) using a display screen of a full flat television receiver.
