Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of equipment that television broadcasting signal shows that is used to receive and control, especially relate to a kind of can the receiving channels programme information, and can control the indicated channel tabulation and with the set-top box of the corresponding current or next program information of channel list.
Background technology
Along with rolling up of TV programme, spectators have run into difficulty when selection is fit to the channel of oneself.Past, conventional method was to use the TV guide of newspaper or magazine to consult the title of TV programme, content and reproduction time.This method requires a great deal of time and searches and classify, otherwise can only begin to watch program before the decision program is whether interesting.This all is a kind of sorry for TV programme operator and spectators.
In order to address the above problem, developed the technology that in Digital Television, transmits EPG information now.As shown in Figure 4, EPG information can show on the screen of traditional tv.When the user selects corresponding channel, channel and programme information receiving equipment can search for and on screen the program forecast information of indicated channel and it, these information comprise program broadcast time, comprise the programme information 7 of programm name and content introduction, channel list 2, scroll bar 4, small video window 8.The EPG display packing of Shi Yonging always once all shows a large amount of programme informations in the past, and the EPG information search of each channel all needs certain hour, and such mode of checking must be a prerequisite to change or to withdraw from the current program of watching.Yet General Visitors every days only may teleview in a relatively shorter rest period, so that each channel need be searched and compare to audience rapidly is current with the next program content and make the selection of watching program.For this reason, become in digital broadcasting become more and more popular, channel quantity today after increasing greatly, when can using EPG information that long-term programme distant information comprehensively is provided, also should for spectators provide a kind of convenient, search the method and the display interface of the current or next program information of each channel quickly.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention provides a kind of set-top box, this set-top box in control television set normal play, translucent indicated channel tabulation and with channel list in the corresponding current or next program information of each channel.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, the present invention includes: can receiving channels programme information signal be receiving element, the storage of channel programme information of EPG signal memory cell, be used for the input receiving element that user operation commands receives, and control unit, it is characterized in that: described control unit is play by the demonstration and the respective program of following steps control channel list and current or next programme list:
(a) control unit channel program information stores that receiving element is received is in memory cell, and described channel program information comprises: channel list information, and corresponding channel is current or next programme list information;
(b) control unit is controlled display unit indicated channel list information according to the operational order of input receiving element, and current or next programme list information;
(c) control unit is selected the focus channel according to the operational order of input receiving element;
(d) control unit is play the current television program of focus channel according to the operational order controls playing unit of input receiving element.
As improvement of the present invention, described current or next programme list information comprises one of the following at least:
(a) temporal information of the current or next program reproduction time of corresponding channel;
(b) name information of the current or next program of corresponding channel.
As improvement of the present invention, described control unit can be controlled channel list and current or next programme list is simultaneously displayed on the screen, and each row of the two aligns on ordinate, and the programme information that each row current or next programme list shows is corresponding with the channel of delegation with channel list.
Further improve as the present invention, described control unit can be controlled current the rendition list and next programme list switches mutually according to the operational order of input receiving element, and the demonstration of above-mentioned tabulation with hide.
Further improve as the present invention, described control unit can roll according to the operational order control channel list page turning of input receiving element or by scroll bar, perhaps controls channel list and current or synchronous page turning of next programme list or rolling.
Further improve again as the present invention, when the tabulation of display unit indicated channel or current or next programme list, broadcast unit is still in normal play, channel list or current or next programme list only occupy the part of display unit screen, and described channel list or current or next programme list are translucent demonstration on display unit screen.
Because the current or next programme list information of the present invention a storage of channel list information, corresponding channel in memory cell, in display unit, also only show above-mentioned information, so the used time of the program information search of control unit significantly reduces, shows more directly perceived; Current television program normal play when spectators browse the current or next program information of other channels, channel list or program information list are translucent demonstration, it is convenient, quick that spectators browse programme information, satisfied informationized society spectators' quality requirements greatly.
Description of drawings
Below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments, the present invention will be further described in detail.Wherein:
Fig. 1 is the related set-top box workflow of a present invention schematic diagram;
Fig. 2 shows schematic diagram for the related channel list information of the present invention;
Fig. 3 is related channel list information of the present invention and current or next programme list demonstration schematic diagram;
Fig. 4 is an EPG information tradition display mode schematic diagram.
Embodiment
As shown in Figure 1, related a kind of can the control of the present invention shows that set-top box current or next programme list information comprises: can receiving channels programme information signal be receiving element, the storage of channel programme information of EPG signal memory cell, be used for the input receiving element that user operation commands receives, and control unit, it is characterized in that: described control unit is play by the demonstration and the respective program of following steps control channel list 2 and current or next programme list 5:
(a) control unit channel program information stores that receiving element is received is in memory cell, and described channel program information comprises: channel list 2 information, and corresponding channel is current or next programme list 5 information;
(b) control unit is according to the operational order control display unit indicated channel of input receiving element tabulate 2 information and current or next programme list 5 information;
(c) control unit is selected focus channel 3 according to the operational order of input receiving element;
(d) control unit is play the current television program of focus channel 3 according to the operational order controls playing unit of input receiving element.
