Fig. 1 is the block diagram of digital TV receiving system.The receiver 1 of Fig. 1 links to each other with antenna with display screen 2, and described antenna itself links to each other with receiving system 4, and described receiving system 4 comprises: tuner is used to pass the signal to demodulator; Proofread and correct received data by correcting circuit, and be transferred to demodulation multiplexer.Demodulation multiplexer comprises the filter of some, by the various application programs that CPU 3 is supported according to receiver 1 filter is programmed.The identification data that exists in the header of filter and the grouping of demodulated signal is corresponding.
Sound that will be by demodulation multiplexer filtering or video packets or section are stored in the presumptive area of data storage 9, so that consider these application programs.If desired, before it being stored in the data storage 9, at first information is decoded according to user's right by decoding circuit.Receiver also has audio/video decode logic 10, be used to produce the audio visual signal that sends to video screen 2, and may have interface 5, be used for communicating by letter with high speed local number bus 6, described high speed local number bus 6 is used for receiving audio/video data from bilateral network, is stored in the memory 9.For example, this network is IEEE 1394 networks.Executable program memory 12 comprises the function software and the application-specific of receiver.According to an example, memory 12 comprises five application programs at least: audio decoder, Video Decoder, teletext decoder, access control assembly and the subscriber interface module that is known as " omniselector ".For illustrated clear, memory 12 is expressed as single frame, but it comprises random access memory, read-only memory and re-programmable long-time memory (for example, " flash memory " type memory).
Described receiver also has the infrared interface 7 at remote controller 8, and described interface also links to each other with microprocessor 3.Remote controller is provided with ↑, ↓, → and ← directionkeys and " OK " and " menu " key, it will be appreciated that its function after a while.
The character generator of so-called OSD (display on the screen) be used to produce order or with the parameter or the relevant EFR STK of application-specific of receiver.Utilize digital network, with vision signal that this character generator produced with being multiplexed into a SCART connector that links to each other with display screen 2 from receiving system 4 or from one of vision signal of interface 5.
Described exemplary embodiments is in the environment of digital television broadcasting system, for example DVB (digital video broadcasting) system.The present invention is not limited to this environment, and can be applied to wherein present in other environment of orderly bulleted list to the user.User interface has the electronic program guides subapplication.This guide can be visited and the relevant descriptor of current and future event of serving and these services are broadcasted the user.This information source is from the data of also broadcasting on network.According to an example, these data are DVB service datas, at document " EN 300 468 Digital VideoBroadcasting; Specification for Service Information (SI) in DVBsystems " in it has been carried out more detailed description.This document is announced by ETSI (ETSI).Under the control of microprocessor 3, these data are in the multiplex stream that is received by receiver, transmit with the form that has by the grouping of the identifier of the known mode mark of the demodulation multiplexer of receiving circuit 4, and pass through microprocessor 3 and in the part of data storage 9, retrieve these data, so that the user-interface application program is used.The data organization relevant with electronic program guides described in the form of flow object with hierarchical approaches.Can particularly, obtain description according to known way to available service by being labeled as the form of " SDT ".The classification of form and the identifier of respective packets have been described in above-mentioned DVB document.In order to extract the grouping that comprises various forms, correspondingly the demodulation multiplexer filter is programmed.
At first, the packet assembling that will comprise service together, to produce the available service tabulation at the receiver place.With this list storage in the part 13 of data storage 9.Because this tabulation comprises numerous items, receiver shows the son tabulation as the part of global listings, and the item number in the son tabulation is determined by receiver.In the bottom of screen, receiver sends the video content of current service, and the user can utilize " program+" and " program-" key to select current service.Quantity and/or textual identifier on screen than (irrelevant) demonstration current service in the wicket with the son tabulation that shows.
Fig. 2 shows the reduced graph by the equipment user interface that produces and two example screen display that present the son tabulation of Fig. 1.Utilize and come this screen display of order by the navigation characteristic in the addressable function of " menu " key.The top screen shows the tabulation of services with 20 to 29 numberings, and serves 29 and be in focus, that is, if the user has selected service 29 by its remote controller, then it can watch the content of being broadcasted.Suppose that the user presses ↓ orders: the order according to this tabulation is service 30, so will serve 30 highlights.The bottom screen that demonstrates Fig. 2 shows, and serves the top that 29 (being not service 30) become this tabulation.In this manner, see this screen display and and the user that do not know to arrive the history of this point therefore have information about two services that can begin to visit from the focus service.One according to this example embodiment is improved example, and the son tabulation of demonstration comprises one group, 10 services, and unit numbers stops with " 0 " beginning and with " 9 ".But, occur if serve 29, then on this screen page, present 11 services.In this manner, satisfy the rule always show one group 10 services (from one group 10 to next 10).Want former groups of services of fast browsing (every group of 10 services) user's (every group of 10 services) navigation in groups to arrive its interested service.For example, if the user wants to arrive service 125, it knows that it must press the key 12 times of skipping, so that browse the son tabulation that presents service 120 to 129.
Fig. 3 is the reduced graph when user's two example screen display during to the screen display application ↑ order of Fig. 2.The top screen shows the tabulation of services with 29 to 39 numberings, and the user is positioned at focus and serves on 29 by ↑ order.Supposing that the user presses once more ↑ orders, according to the order in this tabulation, is service 28, so will serve 28 highlights.The bottom screen that demonstrates Fig. 3 shows: service 29 becomes the bottom of this son tabulation, becomes the top that this son is tabulated and serve 20.The son tabulation that shows comprises 10 services clearly, and unit numbers stops with 0 beginning and with 9.Therefore, provide this screen display, therefore the user can have and serve the relevant information of addressable service from focus: process ↑ command access service 27, and by ↓ command access service 29.
Fig. 4 is the reduced graph when two example screen display of user during to standard screen display application ↑ order.The top screen shows the tabulation with 10 services of 20 to 29 numberings, and the user has utilized one or more ↑ order that focus is placed in the service 20.Supposing that the user presses once more ↑ orders, according to the order of this tabulation, is service 19, so will serve 19 highlights.The bottom screen that demonstrates Fig. 4 shows: service 20 becomes the bottom of this son tabulation, becomes the top that this son is tabulated and serve 10, therefore, demonstrates 11 services.The son tabulation that shows comprises at least 10 services clearly, and its unit numbers stops with 0 beginning and with 9.Therefore, provide this screen display, the user therefore can have with can be from the relevant information of the service of focus service access: the service 20 of the service 18 by ↑ command access and passing through ↓ command access.
Fig. 5 shows the reduced graph from one group, 10 service navigations to two example screen display of 10 services of another group.The top screen shows the tabulation of 10 services with 20 to 29 numberings, and the user utilized one or more ↑ or ↓ order places service 25 with focus.Suppose that the user presses → orders, wish to show the next son tabulation so omniselector is understood the user, will serve number increases by 10.So the bottom screen that demonstrates Fig. 5 shows, and serve 30 and become the top of this son tabulation, and serve 39 bottoms that become this son tabulation; The focus service is the tenth service after the service 25, that is, and and service 35.Therefore, the user can be very promptly, the page navigates (10 services of each page) one by one.According to identical mode but with opposite direction execution ← order; After this order, the focus service is service the tenth service before of highlight formerly.
Fig. 6 shows the reduced graph of two example screen display of navigate mode when arriving the end of tabulation.The top screen shows the tabulation with 10 services of 30 to 39 numberings, and the user has placed focus in the service 37.Suppose that the user presses → orders to jump to next the tenth service.But the sum of service is 45.According to the rule (from having " 0 " service as its unit numbers) that shows the son tabulation, the bottom screen of the Fig. 6 that shows after this order shows to serve the son tabulation of 40 beginnings.The service that is numbered 47 (30+10=47) does not exist; Therefore, the focus service is the service with immediate numbering, promptly serves 45.If user's application ← order turns back to last son tabulation, then serving 37 will be the focus service.
In a variant embodiment, utilize automatic rolling to handle highlight service on screen.During receiver will be tabulated each project highlight scheduled time length, for example, 3 seconds.Among the french patent application FR 2 805 698 that in preamble, quotes this automatic rolling has been described.The variant scheme has been used method of the present invention, comprises the new son tabulation of last project that is set as focus and second project that had not before occurred by automatic demonstration.Therefore, the user no longer needs to press navigation key; It can be waited for till focus is positioned at himself on the required service, presses " OK " key then.Whenever, the user can by press → and ← the key rotating direction that reverses.
An obvious improvement among Fig. 6 is: in tabulation the customizing messages piece is associated with the service that is identified.This information relates to the service that is identified and is not on the satellite identical with current service, and therefore, if the user has selected such service, then the user must wait for the certain hour section, makes antenna can correctly locate himself.In this operating period, except that the icon flicker, will freeze screen.For the user who wonders why its receiver cost so provides its service of just in time selecting for a long time, this information is useful.The service data of the service in the service data by current service relatively and the tabulation, whether the service of execution belongs to the test of the same packets of being come by satellite transmits.If the information of indication satellite is identical, then do not need positioning antenna, otherwise then the location will be essential, and at this service display icon.In the tabulation of the son of Fig. 6, service 30,34,37,40 is not on the satellite identical with current service with 43.
Preceding example embodiment shows EFR STK, particularly, comprises the not project of determined number.Also it is contemplated that other menu, wherein in son tabulation the items displayed number be fix or less than maximum, if the tabulation that shows is incomplete.
Fig. 7 shows three example screen display of user interface of the part that equipment produced, be used for presenting tabulation on screen of after application navigation order Fig. 1.The left part that is labeled as 7.A represents that initial navigation shows.This screen shows the son tabulation with eight projects, and beginning on earth from the top, portion is labeled as: " project 1 " is to " project 8 ".In the figure, project 5 is current projects, thereby it is a focus item.The mid portion that is labeled as 7.B is illustrated in and presses ↓ key screen display afterwards.According to original known mode, focus is transferred under the described project: project 6; This project is surrounded in last visible two projects of this screen (showing 7.B).On the contrary, if the user presses ↑ key, then focus turns back to last project: project 5 (showing 7.C).This navigation type is known originally, and is used to make focus to shift in the son tabulation of items displayed; Can activate current project, for example, utilize " OK " key.If this tabulation is showing service, it is visual then to activate the program that action broadcasts this service.
Now, transfer to another navigation example, it relates to the present invention according to example embodiment.Show A according to Fig. 8, the first eight project during this interface display should be tabulated, and project 7 (the penult project in this son tabulation) has focus.Application ↓ navigation command, focus will be transferred on last project in the tabulation of this son: project 8.Then, the son tabulation that user interface change shows, thereby make 8 following presenting of project: before at least one project and afterwards at least one project it is surrounded.Then, demonstrate the son tabulation that comprises project 7 to 14, and project 8 has focus (showing 8.B).Then, the user presses ↑ key, again focus is transferred on the project 7.Because project 7 is in the top of this son tabulation at present,, comprise project 1 to 8 so create and show new son tabulation; Demonstrate project 7 and have focus, surrounded (showing 8.B) by project 6 and 8 significantly
Fig. 9 shows three examples demonstrations that son is tabulated when the end of the approaching also arrival of focus item tabulation.This tabulation has nine projects altogether, and user interface only shows eight projects in a menu.With on the item second from the bottom of focal point settings in the son tabulation (showing 9.A).User's application ↓ order is transferred to focus on last project in this tabulation: project 8.So, the son tabulation that user interface change shows, thus make 8 following presenting of project: before at least one project and afterwards at least one project with its encirclement (demonstration 9.B).Then, the user presses ↓ key once more; So selected project 9 (showing 9.C).Because it is in this tabulation last, it can not be besieged, because there is not project to be positioned at after it, and the space of appearance here is in this tabulation last to user notification project 9.Any more ↓ order can not change this demonstration yet.
Three examples that Figure 10 shows the son tabulation when the end of the approaching tabulation of focus item show.This tabulation has eight projects, and user interface can show all.Focus is placed (demonstration 10.A) on last project of this tabulation project 7 before.User's application ↓ order is transferred to focus on last project in this tabulation: project 8.Because it is last project, it can not be besieged, because there is not next project, therefore, focus transferred to the tabulation that project 8 does not need to change demonstration.But in the case, the user can not know that project 8 is last project in this tabulation.In order to notify the user this fact, advantageously, user interface change shows the son tabulation of 10.A, so that 8 following presenting of project: project 7 be the space preceding after it, does not have project (demonstration 10.B) after the user illustrates.Then, the user press ↑ key turns back to project 7.Present with show 10.A in identical son tabulation, project 7 is clearly surrounded (showing 10.C) by project 6 and 8.
Figure 11 shows three examples demonstrations of the son tabulation when the section start of the approaching also arrival of focus item tabulation.Focus is placed (demonstration 11.A) on sub second project of tabulating.User's application ↑ order, focus will be transferred on first project in the tabulation: project 8 (showing 11.B).Because it is in the tabulation first, it can not be besieged, because there is not project to be positioned at before it.Any more ↑ order can not change this demonstration yet.
Three examples that Figure 12 shows when navigation is carried out on son tabulation ground one by one show.According to showing 12.A, the first eight project in the interface display tabulation, and project 7 (last project of this son in tabulating previous) has focus.Application → navigation command will show the next son tabulation.Then, the tabulation of interface display project 7 to 14; Penult project (project 13) in this son tabulation has focus (showing 12.B).Then, the user wishes to turn back to last son tabulation; The user presses ← key, shows that then 12.A presents (showing 12.C) once more.Usually, the son lists navigation of tabulating does not change the position of focus in son tabulation, but the content of change tabulation.
Figure 13 shows three examples of tabulating according to the son of a variant scheme and shows when the end of the approaching tabulation of focus item.In this example, tabulation has 19 projects, and focus places on first project of tabulation: project 1.As first project, this focus item is not besieged, because there is not project to be positioned at before it, thereby the user knows that it is first project (showing 13.A) in the tabulation.User's application ↑ order.According to a variant embodiment, focus still is not locked on first project, but shows new son tabulation, shows some last in this tabulation projects.Because last project in this tabulation has focus, it can not be besieged, because there is not project to be positioned at after it, the space that occurs after it is last (demonstration 13.B) in this tabulation to user notification project 19.Then, the user presses ↓ key; User interface presents project 1 and seven projects afterwards (showing 13.C) thereof once more.
When the order of using in the vicinity at the initial or end of tabulating causes the redirect of son tabulation one by one, about the same case appearance of above-mentioned variant scheme.In the described example of Figure 14, tabulation has 19 projects, and focus places on first the sub project of tabulating that starts from project 1 (showing 14.A).User's application ← order.According to variant embodiment, focus still is not locked in the first son tabulation, but shows new son tabulation, and some the last projects (showing 14.B) in this tabulation are shown.Demonstrate project 13 to 19.Because project 19 has focus, it can not be besieged, because there is not project to be positioned at thereafter, and the space that occurs after it is last (demonstration 14.B) in this tabulation to user notification project 19.Then, the user presses → key; User interface presents project 1 and seven projects afterwards (showing 14.C) thereof once more.
The flow chart of Figure 15 shows the performed step that is used for the show navigator menu of user interface.In step 15.1, show the first son tabulation, one of them project is by highlight.In step 15.2, the order of user's application navigation is to change current project and the selection project adjacent with current project.Then, user interface will determine that whether new current project surrounded by at least two projects, that is, and and a project before at least one its and a project (step 15.3) that meets navigation direction.If new current project is surrounded (except this currentitem order is first or last project in the tabulation) by at least two projects, then produce and show new son tabulation (step 15.4).If new current project is in the last son tabulation first, then its form with the penult project in new son tabulation exists.If new current project is in the last son tabulation last, then its form with second project in new son tabulation exists.In all cases, the new current project (step 15.5) of highlight from the figure.
The tabulation of the service of broadcasting in digital tv environment and presenting of son tabulation must only be considered as the example that the present invention uses.The present invention can be applicable to can be on screen or any other viewing apparatus all tabulations of items displayed, particularly, the tabulation of audiovisual material, be used to obtain the source tabulation of document, from the tabulation of the function of terminal could access etc.
In an improvement project, can programme to the minimal amount of the focus item in the son tabulation of the project of surrounding before and afterwards, demonstration.For example, if screen is even as big as showing 21 item identifiers, then the interface may need at least three projects to be presented at focus item before with afterwards.In the case, suppose items displayed to be numbered with 1 to 21 order; On project 4 to 18, navigate, can not change the son tabulation of the project of being shown.Therefore, user interface comprises the step of the number of input encirclement currentitem purpose project.If new current project is first or last project in the tabulation, first in the perhaps very approaching tabulation or last project then can not show these projects.
The present invention also can be applicable to when showing the highlight project in the project grid.So that change after current project and the selection project adjacent with current project, whether ui testing new projects are surrounded by four display items display in the application navigation order, that is, whether it is not positioned at the edge of grid.If, then produce and show the tabulation of new project, wherein, new current project is all surrounded by at least one project on all navigation directions.
Although above-mentioned example embodiment relates to the tabulation of service, the present invention also can be applicable to the tabulation of other project, as incident and even audio frequency, video or data file.
