Step 302: in playing process, the instruction of terminal as receiving that users with channel switches, execution in step 303, otherwise, continue to play;
Above-mentioned channel handover operation can produce the channel switching by user's button operation or other input modes, as switches to channel B.
Step 303: terminal continues the data at the first cannel broadcast channel A, promptly in the first channel treatment channel to channel A data decode and broadcast, begin to search for the data of the channel that will switch to simultaneously;
Step 304, terminal searching in second cannel broadcast, are promptly decoded this channel data of receiving and are play after the data of the channel that will switch to by the second channel treatment channel, be shown as second picture;
Wherein this channel data is not carried out audio decoder, and can be only local data's (as low-resolution video data) of these channel video data of receiving be decoded, so that under the form with little picture shows, reduce the decoding operand, improve decoding speed.
Step 305: before the condition that the channel switching stops to satisfy, terminal was returned step 303 as receiving the instruction that switches to another channel (as channel C), otherwise, execution in step 306;
Above-mentioned judgement is the process of a timing and supervisory keyboard input. whenever searching a new channel and beginning to carry out timing in the moment that second picture is play, do not receive new channel switching key input if be accumulated to certain hour (for example 3 seconds) terminal, think that then the channel switching stops. the another one stop condition is that the user initiatively selects to stop, for example pressed ESC Escape, even the cumulative time is less than three seconds, think that also the channel switching stops.
Step 306: terminal stops the reception to channel A data, and original channel data in second cannel broadcast is switched to first cannel broadcast, finishes.
Adopt said method, search behind the channel that will switch to not directly in first cannel broadcast, because this channel that the searches channel that really will see of user not necessarily, perhaps through the consideration in a second, the user takes turns again and has changed another channel into.Have only the user to stop change action, just can be in first cannel broadcast.Helping terminal like this realizes.Because it is not only the switching of picture that channel switches, also to relate to the switching of decoding unit.
In one example, suppose that the user seeing one in central authorities, is shown as first picture in first cannel broadcast.At this time users with channel switches, and the new channel search needs a period of time, and inherent during this period of time first channel continues to play one in central authorities; Suppose to have searched two in central authorities, then be shown as second picture in second cannel broadcast, at this time the user also can continue by channel switch key (for example " CH+ " key), supposes to switch to three in central authorities, at second picture show the content of central authorities three in second cannel broadcast this moment.Stop to have switched up to the user, just switched to first cannel broadcast (just only having stayed first picture on the display) at the channel of second cannel broadcast.The existence of second picture is convenient to the action that the user knows that channel switches and is responded.Otherwise the user can think do not have reaction half a day by behind the switch key.Certainly, another effect of second picture has realized that really the user watches multichannel simultaneously.
Certainly; the present invention also can have other various embodiments; under the situation that does not deviate from spirit of the present invention and essence thereof; those skilled in the art work as can make various corresponding changes and distortion according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and distortion all should belong to the protection range of the appended claim of the present invention.
For example: in another embodiment of the present invention, shouldn't second output unit, compare with last embodiment, the second channel treatment channel has only second decoding unit, its step 301 is to 303, change " this channel data that will receive is decoded by the second channel treatment channel " in the step 304 into, no playing function; Judge in the step 305 whether channel stops to switch, refer to begin to carry out timing in the moment that whenever searches a new channel and finish a full frame decoding, accumulative total to certain hour as there not being new channel switching key input 3 seconds, or the user selects to stop to switch; Step 306 is the same.
In another embodiment of the present invention, after carrying out step 305 and terminal and receiving the instruction that switches to another channel, do not return step 303, but execution following steps: earlier former channel data in second cannel broadcast is switched to first cannel broadcast, show the data of the channel that search will switch to first picture; And then return step 304.Other step is identical.If at the beginning at first channel with the first picture broadcasting channel A, the user has selected the program of channel B, C, D respectively in handoff procedure.When realizing by first embodiment so, indicated channel A+B according to the order of sequence on the screen, A+C, the picture of A+D.And when pressing present embodiment and realizing, indicated channel A+B according to the order of sequence on the screen, B+C, the picture of C+D.
