Memory 5 can be EEPROM (EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memo)), FLASH multiple memories such as (flash memories), store the several data such as working procedure of television system, also be provided with two memory blocks, first memory block is used for a plurality of channel datas of user preferences, and for example the user likes preceding 10 channels of watching most.Second storage area stores has the data of the hobby index of each channel, if television system comprises 98 television channels, then this storage area stores has the hobby exponent data of 98 channels.Microcontroller 1 calculates the hobby index of each channel, and preceding 10 channels that will like the index maximum are stored in first memory block.
In the present embodiment, in EEPROM, get the number that 10 addresses are used for depositing 10 user preferred channels arbitrarily, suppose to get offset address from 0x1F10~0x1F1A totally 10 addresses, the concrete indicated channel of favorite channels menu module is No. 4 corresponding with the data in these 10 addresses successively, first data that show in the favorite channels menu module 4 are exactly the data in first address (0x1F10), second data presented is exactly the data in second address (0x1F11), and the rest may be inferred up to the 10th video data.
Simultaneously, if total channel number is 98, equally also can in eeprom memory, get 98 addresses arbitrarily, will determine that just each channel puts data to there being one to one the address deposit, because these 98 addresses are the hobby indexes that are used for depositing each channel.Suppose to get address 0x1F3B~0x1FFF, the space of two bytes of data occupancy of each channel is set in the space of 98 * 2 bytes altogether, and these 98 addresses are the hobby indexes that are used for depositing each channel.
After the user opened TV, microcontroller 1 just calculated the time that the user watches a certain channel, if watch the time of a certain channel to arrive the regular hour, for example 5 minutes, just the hobby index to this channel added 1, arrived 10 minutes if watch, just the hobby index to this channel adds 2, so analogizes.The user watches a certain channel time long more, and the hobby index of this channel is also just big more.
Favorite channels menu module 4 is used for explicit user and likes the television channel data of watching most, and these data are exactly the data that are stored in first memory block.After microcontroller 1 calculates the hobby index of each channel that finishes, arrange each channel, and will arrange 10 more preceding channels and be stored in first memory block, just be sent in the favorite channels menu 4 according to the hobby exponential size.
After microcontroller 1 calculates the hobby index of each channel, can use one section following program that the size of each channel according to the hobby index sorted:
Void?find_10chanel(int*input,int*output)
{
int?temp,atemp;
int?data[2][98];
for(int?i=0,i<10;i++)
{
data[0][i]=*(input+i);
data[1][i]=i;
}
For (int i=0, i<10; I++) // only need preceding 10 platforms
{
temp=data[0][i];
atemp=data[1][i];
for(int?j=i;j<98;j++)
{
if(temp<data[0][j])
{
data[0][i]=data[0][j];
data[0][j]=temp;
data[1][i]=data[1][j];
data[1][j]=atemp;
}
}
*(ouput+i)=data[1][i];
}
}
After using the said procedure ordering, microcontroller 1 can obtain to like the highest preceding 10 channels of index, and these 10 channels are stored in first memory block.
Illustrate below in conjunction with Fig. 2 present embodiment is how to realize being provided with automatically the television channel that user preferences is watched.Before favorite channels is set, the hobby index initial value of each channel need be set, in the present embodiment, each channel preference index initial value is 0.Simultaneously, also need to be provided with two time thresholds and with the corresponding coefficient that adds up of time threshold.In the present embodiment, very first time threshold value is 5 minutes, and first of its correspondence coefficient that adds up is that 1, the second time threshold is 10 minutes, and second of its correspondence coefficient that adds up is 2.
After television system started, microcontroller 1 execution in step S1 play the television channel that user's selection is watched, and for example the user is watching the 7th channel, and the current hobby index of this channel is 5.After microcontroller 1 is play the TV signal of the 7th channel, start timer 2, i.e. execution in step S2.Then, microcontroller 1 execution in step S3 judges whether the user switches the television channel of watching, if the user switches to other channel, then returns execution in step S2, restarts timer 2, allows timer 2 restart timing.If the user does not have switching channels, continue to watch the 7th channel, execution in step S4 then, judge whether timing to 5 minute of timer 2, if timing to 5 minute, just the user watches this channel to arrive very first time threshold value, execution in step S6 then, hobby index to the 7th channel adds 1, first coefficient that adds up that just on the hobby index of the 7th channel, adds up, and this moment, the hobby index of the 7th channel was 6.If there is not timing to 5 minute, then return execution in step S3, judge whether the user switches the television channel of watching.
Microcontroller 1 is after the hobby index of the 7th channel adds 1, and execution in step S6 judges once more whether the user switches the television channel of watching, if use switching channels, returns execution in step S2, restarts timer 2.If the user does not have switching TV channel, execution in step S7 then, further judge the user watches the time of the 7th channel whether to arrive 10 minutes, just judge whether to arrive second time threshold, if fruit arrives 10 minutes, microcontroller 1 execution in step S8 adds 2 to the hobby index of the 7th channel, promptly to the hobby index of the 7th channel second coefficient that adds up that adds up, this moment, the hobby index of the 7th channel was 8.
Among the step S7, if the user watches the time of the 7th channel not by 10 minutes, then microcontroller 1 returns execution in step S6, judges whether the user switches the channel of watching.
Microcontroller 1 can use identical method to calculate the hobby index of each channel, and each channel is sorted according to its hobby exponential size, 10 forward channels of hobby index are stored in first memory block, and the data of these 10 channels are sent in the favorite channels menu module 4, the user promptly can see 10 television channels oneself liking by the favorite channels menu.And these 10 channels are not 10 channels that the user watches recently, but 10 channels the longest according to user's viewing time.
Simultaneously, it is 5 minutes that very first time threshold value is set in the present embodiment, like this, method of the present invention is not that all channels are all added up, but watch the channel more than 5 minutes to add up at the user, can make statistics more accurate effectively with the of short duration television channel shielding of watching in user's switching TV channel process.
Simultaneously, among the present invention, a measurement period can also be set, in the present embodiment, measurement period is 7 days, and microcontroller 1 calculates the hobby index of each channel in the measurement period, and arranges each channel according to the hobby index in the measurement period.After a measurement period finishes, the hobby index zero clearing of each channel can be recomputated the hobby index of each channel, also the hobby index of each channel can be reduced by half, the new coefficient that adds up is added in each channel preference index, these all can realize purpose of the present invention again.
Certainly, two time thresholds only are set in the present embodiment, during practical application, the more time threshold value can also be set,, and the coefficient that adds up of each time threshold correspondence is set as three, four etc.Simultaneously, the size of the length of each time threshold, the coefficient that adds up can be set according to actual operating position fully, not only is confined to the described numerical value of present embodiment.
