In order to understand the present invention better, will define employed term in the disclosure now.
One group of content of multimedia that term " service " expression shows together, that is, and one group of serviced component (servicecomponent).
Serviced component is the element of service, comprises video component, audio-frequency assembly and data package.Data package is the application program in the service.
In addition, application program is divided into not binding application program and service binding application program.Because binding application program does not have high priority, so resource is distributed reposefully.Monitor application program (monitorapplication) is corresponding to the specific not binding application program with limit priority.
The service binding application program is relevant with transport stream, and the priority of binding application program is not low to allow priority ratio.The service binding application program is not as crucial (critical) system.When the competition that takes place resource, to compare with binding application program not, the possibility that service binding application program relinquishes resources is distributed is higher.The service binding application program comprises: the service binding application program of bond type, move in combination with the stream of current positive transmission; The service binding application program of non-binding type is moved independently with the stream of current positive transmission.
Term " service context " expression can be controlled the object of the execution of service, and the various resources, device and the execution state information that provide service required are provided.
The output port of the physical unit of the content of term " physical display " expression actual displayed service, the content of output service or the storage medium of stores service.
The screen of term " display screen " expression actual displayed on physical display.Service can be set directly on the display screen arbitrarily, and display screen can be displayed on the physical display.Perhaps, at least one logical screen that is mapped to the specific region of display screen can be displayed on the physical display.
Term " logical screen " expression shows the space of service arbitrarily.Before being mapped to display screen, logical screen is a virtual screen, therefore is not displayed on the physical display.
Logical screen and display screen can be the combinations of stationary background image, video raster (raster) and figure grating.The figure grating can be the combination of text, line, color and image or the mixing of frame of video.
Term " cover screen " expression shows the space of captions and various function (comprising volume selection and quiet selection), and cover screen covers display screen.Say that at length cover screen is set at the outermost of display screen.
A plurality of cover screens may be displayed on the display screen to cover the diverse location on the display screen.

Fig. 5 A is the diagrammatic sketch that the monoplane cover screen is shown.Described free hand drawing shape surface is used for closed caption (closed captioning) or is used to unite using closed caption and other functions (for example, volume selection, quiet selection, be used to be provided with the user interface of function).In this case, during some changing functions in the scene of uniting use (scenario), full content must be upgraded by (latently) potentially.Can reduce this renewal by the subclass (for example, the subclass in the zone that changes) of upgrading the vision pixel.
Yet potential renewal and these optimal methods cause the complicated coding and the debugging of increase.In addition, operation and memory cycle increase.On the contrary, when being provided with, need minimum hardware resource.For example, do not need hardware combinations device (compositor) or a plurality of patterned surface.
Fig. 5 B illustrates the biplane cover screen.Add combiner and second graph surface with described function with separate with other functions that the user interface of second graph surface (Gs) is united use being used for closed caption.The patterned surface that is added is united use and is being comprised that facilities and equipments are provided with in the application environment of this locality of function (native) environment.Yet this and PiP and PoP are provided with independence.Preferably, binding application program not can be used for showing cover screen discretely with the figure of current service binding application program.
When many environment are presented on the surface of common use effectively, carry out co-operate by upgrade described function or demonstration time based on the mutual exclusion request.
As a result, the clearly patterned surface by being provided for closed caption and each application environment are summarized the previous setting of cover screen.
Fig. 5 C illustrates N plane cover screen.Above-mentioned being summarised in asks to provide the simplest system architecture during the basic resources,, is used for unique (exclusive) patterned surface of each environment that is.
It is constant that the shape of cover screen and resolution are supposed to keep, and meet the shape of whole display unit.
In the OCAP structure, preferably, by binding application program not but not the service binding application program is used the unique patterned surface in the cover screen.This be because, unique patterned surface is independent of PiP and POP and is provided with, unique patterned surface can use the whole display graphics with constant resolution discretely with the figure of service binding application program.
For example, the above-mentioned use to the user provides visual indicia (visual mark), this makes the application program of screen concentrate for the incoming event of not subscribing assigns (unreserved input event dispatch), allow profile to draw and do not have any restriction of application program, and provide title (title) for PiP and POP screen.
Fig. 6 A and Fig. 6 B illustrate the diagrammatic sketch of the application example of cover screen according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
With reference to Fig. 6 A, another example of cover screen can be used for which screen current be focused of indicated number on display screen.In this case, the screen of focusing is meant the screen that comprises following application program, and this application program obtains incident when the interface of user's use such as remote controller transmits incoming event.
With reference to Fig. 6 B, cover screen can be used for the border of instruction screen or is presented at the title (title) of the service on the screen.
Fig. 7 is the diagrammatic sketch that the example of serving the source according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown.
There are the service source (as terrestrial broadcasting equipment 320 and wired broadcasting equipment 330) that broadcast service is provided, the service source (as PVR 340) that the service that is stored in the storage medium is provided and provide the service source (not shown among Fig. 7) of service through cable network or wireless network.
Broadcasting receiver 310 receives service from described service source, and generates logical screen and the cover screen that shows each service that receives.
Then, will serve arbitrarily by predefined method or by the method for user or application program setting and be set directly on the display screen that to be presented on the physical display.In addition, being mapped at least one logical screen of arbitrary region of display screen and the cover screen that covers display screen is presented on the physical display 350.In brief, the service that is provided by terrestrial broadcasting equipment 320, wired broadcasting equipment 330 and PVR is displayed on the physical display 350.
Terrestrial broadcasting equipment 320, wired broadcasting equipment 330 and PVR 340 have been shown as the service source among Fig. 7, but have the invention is not restricted to this.The content of multimedia source that any kind of the content of multimedia that can show together is provided can be the service source according to exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
Shown in Fig. 8 A and Fig. 8 B, service can be divided into abstract service (abstract service) and non-abstract service (non-abstract service) according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
Abstract service is not the service that broadcast singal provided of real-time Transmission, but is independent of the service of broadcast channel.Abstract service only comprises the broadcast data assembly, i.e. application program, and do not comprise video component and audio-frequency assembly.The example of abstract service comprises the service that has based on the not binding application program of OCAP standard.
Non-abstract service is understood that it is service except abstract service.
According to current exemplary embodiment of the present invention, abstract service and non-abstract service are independently.For example, abstract service can be set directly on the physical display does not pass through logical screen, and non-abstract service can be displayed on logical screen and the cover screen.Then, described logical screen can be mapped to the display screen that is provided with abstract service.Afterwards, can pass through physical display output display screen curtain.Like this, abstract service can be independent of non-abstract service and is displayed on the display screen.In addition, abstract service can be mapped to different logical screens with non-abstract service.Afterwards, these logical screens can be mapped to a display screen.In other words, abstract service can be independent of non-abstract service and is displayed on the display screen.
According to current exemplary embodiment of the present invention, logical screen, cover screen and display screen can be divided into different objects.Perhaps, according to the attribute information of a screen object, screen can be used as logical screen, cover screen or display screen.
Say that at length screen object is that logical screen, display screen or cover screen depend on " type " information in the attribute of screen object.
The attribute information of screen object comprises a plurality of attributes " z-Order (z order) ", " Display_Area (viewing area) ", " Visibility (visuality) ", " Associated_Display_Screen (relevant display screen) ", " Associated_Service_Contexts (related service context) ", " OutputPort (output port) " and " Overlay_information (coverage information) ".
The interface that Fig. 9 A and Fig. 9 B illustrate the attribute information of screen object and be used to handle the attribute of screen.
Attribute " Type " 510 is used for determining that screen type is logical screen or display screen.
Attribute " z-Order " 520 is used for determining a plurality of logical screens and the cover screen arrangement order along the z axle.Cover screen can not comprise " z-Order " attribute.Figure 10 illustrates the various combination for " z-Order " property value of logical screen and cover screen, the difference configuration of the logical screen on the physical display.
With reference to Figure 10, first logical screen 620 and second logical screen 630 are mapped to the presumptive area of display screen 610 respectively, and cover screen 640 covers display screen 610.Say that at length first logical screen 620 is displayed on the display screen 610, second logical screen 630 is displayed on first logical screen 620, and cover screen 640 is presented on second logical screen 630.In other words, display screen 610, first logical screen 620, second logical screen 630 and cover screen 640 are disposed in order along the z direction of principal axis.In this case, " z-Order " attribute that " z-Order " attribute of first logical screen 620 can the value of being set to 1, the second logical screen 630 can the value of being set to 2, and " z-Order " attribute of cover screen 640 can the value of being set to 3." z-Order " attribute of first logical screen 620, second logical screen 630 and cover screen 640 can be set to any numeral or character, as long as the certain order that first logical screen 620, second logical screen 630 and cover screen 640 are arranged along the z axle can be represented in these numerals or character.
Attribute " Display_Area " the 530th is with the relevant information in display screen zone (shown in Figure 11 A and Figure 11 B) of logical screen.
