Embodiment
The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.
Referring to shown in Figure 1, the present invention watches that a preferred embodiment of the electronic installation of digital television program comprises a display unit 11, a Digital TV Receiving unit 12, a biological feature collection unit 13, a program control setup unit 14, a program control unit 15 and a database 16.And the electronic installation 1 of the present embodiment is not limited to Digital Television, also comprises the electronic product that other can watch digital television program.
Digital TV Receiving unit 12 comprises an electric program guide (Electronic Program Guide in order to reception, EPG) digital television program, it can be according to the channel selection instruction of user by remote controller or the input of other input interface, reception is corresponding to a TV programme of this channel selection instruction, and the electric program guide that receives is temporary in the database 16.
Biological characteristic collector unit 13 is in order to collect a biological feature of a user, and in the present embodiment, biological characteristic collector unit 13 comprises a biological feature input interface 131 and a biological feature extraction device.The biological characteristic acquisition device captures user's a biological feature, and provides biological characteristic to program control setup unit 14 and program control unit 15 via biological characteristic input interface 131.In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the biological characteristic acquisition device can be the fingerprint of obtaining user's fingerprint sweep line device 132, obtain the microphone 133 or of user's sound obtain the user local image digital camera 134 threes at least one of them.
The biological characteristic of program control setup unit 14 in order to input via biological characteristic collector unit 13 according to the user, set the TV programme that the user that is fit to have this biological characteristic in the electronic program menu 2 as shown in Figure 2 watches, and produce as shown in Figure 3 one comprise the program control card 3 that is fit to the TV programme that this user watches.More particularly, as shown in Figure 4, program control setup unit 14 execution in step 41 at first, require a user A via biological characteristic collector unit 13 inputs aforesaid one biological feature, then, program control setup unit 14 is by reading the received electric program guide in Digital TV Receiving unit 12 in the database 16, and through suitably being processed into an electronic program menu 2 that can supply a setting person to set as shown in Figure 2, certainly for avoiding any not specific people at will to set, this specific setting person needs to input its biological characteristics by biological characteristic collector unit 13 in advance and be stored in the database 16, before setting person will set, need input first its biological characteristic, and through program control unit 15 confirm be pre-stored in database 16 in specific setting person's biological characteristic conform to, just allow setting person to set.
Then shown in step 42, setting person can select to set the channel program of that period in electronic program menu 2, for example select 18:00~19:00 during the period, electronic program menu 2 namely can be listed TV programme and the broadcast time that all channels broadcast in this period, setting person can be directly sets the TV programme that user A with this biological characteristic can watch, such as the program 2 of channel CH11, the program 4 of channel CH14 and the program 5 of channel CH15 etc. to choose mode.In addition, setting person also can set user A by program control setup unit 14 and watch these programs (program 2 in electronic program menu 2, program 4 and program 5) the rating control time, for example program control setup unit 14 is in the electronic program menu 2 of Fig. 2, being provided with " total rating time of every day " reaches " weekly total rating time " two fields, setting person can select to set one of them field, total rating time of every day of for example setting user A TV reception is 2 hours, or weekly total rating time of setting user A TV reception is 14 hours etc.After setting is finished, program control setup unit 14 can produce according to setting person's setting a program control card 3 for user A as shown in Figure 3, and such as step 43, in the lump be stored in database 16 together with the biological characteristic of user A program control card 3 or be stored in the internal memory (not shown) of program control setup unit 14 inside.
Program control unit 15 and biological characteristic collector unit 13, program control setup unit 14, database 16 and Digital TV Receiving unit 12 electric couplings, to receive the user by the biological characteristic of biological characteristic collector unit 13 inputs, and according to this biological characteristic and corresponding program control card thereof, whether control figure television receiver unit 12 exports TV programme to display unit 11.That is, step 51 such as Fig. 5, when user A unlocking electronic device is wanted to watch digital television program, program control unit 15 can require user A first by biological characteristic collector unit 13 its biological characteristics of input, example fingerprint described above, sound or local image, and such as step 52, from program control setup unit 14 or database 16, read as shown in Figure 3 the program control card 3 corresponding with this biological characteristic according to this biological characteristic.Whereby, such as step 53, channel selection instruction when Digital TV Receiving unit 12 according to user A input, when receiving the TV programme that user A wants to watch, such as step 54, program control unit 15 is according to program control card 3, judge whether this TV programme that user A wants to watch is listed in the program control card 3, if, then such as step 55, make Digital TV Receiving unit 12 these TV programme of output to display unit 11 broadcast, if not, then such as step 56, forbidden digit television receiver unit 12 these TV programme of output are to display unit 11.And when broadcasting TV programme, such as step 57, program control unit 15 can be according to the rating control time of setting in the program control card 3 (for example every day total rating time 2 h or total 14 hours rating time weekly), the time span of timing Digital TV Receiving unit 12 output TV programme, when timing time reaches this rating control time, that is every day total rating time 2 h or total 14 hours rating time weekly, such as step 58, program control unit 15 is namely exported a remind message reminding user A and is stopped TV reception, and sending this remind message through one section Preset Time, for example after 3 minutes, control figure television receiver unit 12 stops to export TV programme to display unit 11.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that, one " not needing control " option (not shown) also can be set in the above-mentioned electronic program menu 2, allow the setting person can be for specific user B, for example father and mother or adult children choose this option that " do not need control ", whereby, when program control unit 15 was judged as " not needing control " according to the biological characteristic of user B input, user B can watch the all-channel of Digital TV Receiving unit 12 outputs and the TV programme of all the period of time and not be subjected to control.
Moreover, the setting of carrying out in electronic program menu 2 except carrying out for specific time period the control of channel program, also can be carried out control for specific channel, for example which channel the control user can only watch, and the control time of those channels etc. is watched in setting.
In sum, the present invention can be according to user's biological characteristic and the electric program guide of Digital Television, allow setting person can flexibly set the TV programme that user's (observer) can watch, and the TV programme that can watch carried out watch time control, and the program that user's (observer) watches is carried out more careful effective management, and do not have Password Input to be difficult for or password easily stolen or the problem such as crack, and help to safeguard teenager and child's physical and mental health, assist the correct TV programme of its screening and carry out time management, reach effect of the present invention and purpose.
