Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for outputting a video in accordance with a tuning of a broadcast signal by a tuner.

  As is well known, in recent years, digitalization of television broadcasting has been promoted. For example, in Japan, not only satellite digital broadcasting such as BS (broadcasting satellite) digital broadcasting and 110-degree CS (communication satellite) digital broadcasting but also terrestrial digital broadcasting has been started.

  The user selects a channel to view using the remote controller. For example, a digital television broadcast receiver receives EPG (Electric Program Guide) information and displays an EPG screen. The user refers to the program information displayed on the EPG screen and selects a channel that the user desires to view. The digital television broadcast receiver selects a broadcast signal based on channel selection.

  This terrestrial digital broadcasting requires time required for demodulation and decoding processing of a broadcast signal every time a channel is switched and a broadcast signal is selected. Therefore, in the digital television broadcast receiving apparatus, a waiting time is generated before the video of the switched channel is output.

  In Patent Document 1, in a broadcast receiving apparatus having a plurality of one-seg broadcast tuners and digital broadcast tuners, when a channel is switched, the broadcast signal of the switched channel is demodulated to the output of the one-seg broadcast tuner. In addition, a configuration is disclosed in which, after the demodulation and decoding processing for the broadcast signal selected by the digital broadcasting tuner is completed after being decoded and output, the output is switched to the output based on the digital broadcasting tuner.

In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-260260, since the channel selection of the digital broadcast tuner is switched and the video for viewing is finally acquired, the control becomes complicated. Furthermore, if the one-segment broadcasting tuner set to select a broadcast signal of a specific channel is not provided in the broadcast receiving apparatus, it may take time until the video is output.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a broadcast receiving apparatus that shortens the time until video display control is performed in response to channel switching by a user.

  A broadcast receiving apparatus according to the present invention is configured to receive a first receiving unit that receives a broadcast signal of a first channel and a broadcast signal of a channel to be selected other than the first channel. When receiving means and a signal instructing channel selection of the first channel are input, video display control is performed based on the broadcast signal received by the first receiving means, and channels other than the first channel are controlled. Display control means for controlling display of video based on the broadcast signal received by the second receiving means when a signal for instructing channel selection is input.

  According to the above-described invention, it is possible to provide a broadcast receiving apparatus that shortens the time until video display control is performed in response to channel switching by a user.

  Here, in the digital television receiver 100, all the operations including the above-described various reception operations are comprehensively controlled by the control module 69. The control module 69 has a CPU (central processing unit) and the like, and receives operation information from the operation module 16 or operation information sent from the remote controller 17 and received via the light receiving module 18. Each module is controlled so that the operation content is reflected. As shown in FIG. 2, the remote controller 17 has a channel up / down key 17a, a cursor key (cross key) 17b, an enter key 17c, and a channel selection key 17d.

  The control module 69 mainly includes a ROM (read only memory) 70 that stores a control program executed by the CPU, a RAM (random access memory) 71 that provides a work area for the CPU, and various setting information and control information. Etc. are used.

  In the first embodiment, the first digital terrestrial broadcast tuner 54, the second digital terrestrial broadcast tuner 56, the third digital terrestrial broadcast tuner 58, and the fourth digital terrestrial broadcast tuner 60 are as follows. It is set to select the broadcast signal of the channel of the broadcast station shown.

  The second terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 56 is set to always select the broadcast signal of the channel of the broadcast station A, for example. The third terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 58 is set to always select the broadcast signal of the channel of the broadcast station B, for example. The fourth terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 60 is set to always select a broadcast signal of the channel of the broadcast station C, for example.

  The first terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 54 broadcasts the channel of the broadcasting station selected by the second terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 56, the third terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 58, and the fourth terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 60. Select a broadcast signal other than the signal. That is, in the signal processing module 51, the video signal and the audio signal based on the broadcast signals of the channels of the broadcasting stations A, B, and C are always input as the back process.

  The channel of each broadcast signal to be selected by the second terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 56, the third terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 58, and the fourth terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 60 is set by the user using the remote controller 17, for example. To do. When the user selects display of the channel setting screen using the remote controller 17, the control module 69 controls display of the channel setting screen shown in FIG. 3 on the video display 14. The user selects a desired channel using the cursor key 17b of the remote controller 17, and determines using the enter key 17c. FIG. 3 shows a state where the user has selected the channels of broadcasting stations A, B, and C. In the first embodiment, the user can select up to three channels. The control module 69 assigns the channel selected by the user to the second terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 56, the third terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 58, and the fourth terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 60.

  The broadcast signals selected by the second terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 56, the third terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 58, and the fourth terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 60 are set by the control module 69 in the order of the channels with the highest viewing frequency for a predetermined period. You may change and set suitably for every.

  FIG. 4 is a screen diagram in which a channel list used for up / down channel selection is displayed on the video display 14. A case where the user selects a channel in the ascending order of the broadcasting station A, the broadcasting station B, the broadcasting station C, and the broadcasting station D using the up / down key 17a of the remote controller 17 will be described.

  Here, the video display 14 displays video based on the video signal obtained by demodulating the broadcast signal of the channel of the broadcasting station A selected by the second digital terrestrial broadcasting tuner 56. When the user starts up / down tuning using the remote controller 17, the control module 69 controls the display of the channel list together with the video displayed on the video display 14.

  Here, the channel list is a list in which, in addition to a channel number and a broadcasting station name, a channel column in which program information currently being broadcast is associated is arranged in the order of continuous channels. In the channel list, the channel column is arranged in ascending order of channel numbers. The channel list is displayed in the vertical direction on the left side of the video display 14, but the display location is not limited to this.

  The user can use the up / down key 17a to select the focus position on the channel list in ascending order or descending order so that it matches the desired channel field. The positions of the channel columns arranged in the channel list displayed on the video display 14 are fixed, and the focus position moves up and down between the channel columns based on the input of the up / down key 17a. The focus position when the channel list is first displayed on the video display 14 is, for example, a channel column corresponding to the video displayed on the video display 14.

  The control module 69 may cover a part or all of the video displayed on the video display 14 with an on-screen display (OSD) or an α-synthesis OSD. Further, the control module 69 may separate the channel list display area and the video display area and control the display on the video display 14. The speaker 15 outputs sound corresponding to the video displayed on the video display 14 together with the channel list.

  The control module 69 creates program information for each channel to be displayed in the channel list as follows. The control module 69 acquires channel information and program information from SI (service information) included in the broadcast signal.

  The SI has various information tables defined for program selection. For example, SI has SDT (service description table) and EIT (event information table). SDT describes, for example, information in which channel numbers and broadcast station names are associated with each other for all channels. The control module 69 obtains this information as channel information from the SDT, and updates it appropriately while always holding it.

  The EIT is program information of a channel corresponding to the broadcast signal selected by the second terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 56. The EIT describes, for example, program information such as program name, start time, contents, genre, and progress bar as program information. The EIT includes p (present) / f (following) information and schedule information.

  The p / f information is, for example, the program information of the program being broadcast on the channel of the broadcast station A corresponding to the broadcast signal currently selected by the second digital terrestrial broadcasting tuner 56 and the program scheduled to be broadcast next. It is program information. The schedule information is a program table and a program information of each program up to one week ahead in the channel of the broadcasting station A corresponding to the broadcasting signal currently selected by the second terrestrial digital broadcasting tuner 56.

  For terrestrial digital broadcasting, for example, when the second terrestrial digital broadcasting tuner 56 selects a broadcast signal of the channel of the broadcasting station A, only EIT including p / f information and schedule information for the channel of the broadcasting station A can be used. Do not send. The same applies to the third terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 58 and the fourth terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 60.

  The control module 69 creates a channel list based on the latest program information included in the p / f information. The control module 69 creates a channel list based on the program information described in the schedule information for channels for which p / f information has not been acquired. That is, the control module 69 gives priority to the program information based on the p / f information over the schedule information. Although the case of digital terrestrial broadcasting has been described here, the same applies to the case of BS / CS digital broadcasting.

  In this state, when the user switches from the broadcasting station A channel to the broadcasting station B channel using the up / down key 17a, the focus position in the channel list moves from the broadcasting station A channel column to the broadcasting station B channel column. To do.

  Since the control module 69 selects the broadcast signal of the channel of the broadcasting station B by the third digital terrestrial broadcasting tuner 58 and performs the signal processing by the signal processing module 51 as the back processing, the video is immediately displayed on the video display device. 14 to display control. Accordingly, the video display 14 can switch from the video of the broadcast station A program to the video of the broadcast station B program without waiting.

  Similarly, when the user switches from the channel of broadcasting station B to the channel of broadcasting station C using the up / down key 17a, the focus position in the channel list moves from the channel column of broadcasting station B to the channel column of broadcasting station C. . Since the control module 69 selects the broadcast signal of the channel of the broadcasting station C by the fourth terrestrial digital broadcasting tuner 60 and performs the signal processing by the signal processing module 51 as the back processing, the video is immediately displayed on the video display device. 14 to display control.

  Next, when the user switches from the channel of the broadcasting station C to the channel of the broadcasting station D using the up / down key 17a, the focus position in the channel list moves from the channel column of the broadcasting station C to the channel column of the broadcasting station D. .

  The control module 69 displays a video based on the video signal signal-processed by the signal processing module 51 after switching the broadcast signal selected by the first digital terrestrial broadcasting tuner 54 to the broadcast signal of the channel of the broadcast station D. The display 14 is controlled.

  While the control module 69 is ready to display and control the video of the program of the broadcasting station D on the video display 14, the video based on the broadcasting signal of the channel of the broadcasting station C selected by the fourth terrestrial digital broadcasting tuner 60. May be maintained in a state where display control is performed on the video display 14.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the up / down channel selection in the first embodiment described above. Here, each of the channels set to be always selected by the second terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 56, the third terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 58, and the fourth terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 60 is defined as a first channel. To do. Each of the second terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 56, the third terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 58, and the fourth terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 60 is a terrestrial digital broadcast tuner for the first channel. The first digital terrestrial broadcast tuner 54 that selects a channel by switching broadcast signals of channels other than the first channel is a terrestrial digital broadcast tuner other than the first channel.

  First, when the user selects a channel using the up / down key 17a, the control module 69 determines whether or not the channel selected by the user is the first channel (step S101). When the channel selected by the user is the first channel (step S101, YES), the control module 69 displays an image based on the digital terrestrial broadcasting tuner for the first channel and the corresponding OFDM demodulation module on the video display 14. Display control is performed (step S102).

  When the channel selected by the user is not the first channel (step S101, NO), the control module 69 switches the terrestrial digital broadcast for other than the first channel switched to select the broadcast signal of the channel selected by the user. The video display 14 controls display of the video based on the tuner and the corresponding OFDM demodulation module (step S103).

  Therefore, the digital television broadcast receiving apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment can prevent the video display 14 from being blacked out during channel selection. Furthermore, according to the first embodiment, when the user switches the channel to be viewed using the remote controller 17, the video display 14 can display the video without waiting time depending on the switched channel.

  In the first embodiment, the channel list is used for each broadcast type (terrestrial digital broadcast / satellite digital broadcast, TV / Radio, etc.) as well as the above-described digital terrestrial broadcast. The channel list may be a list that is different for each broadcast type, or may be a list in which each broadcast type is seamless. Further, the channel list may be set to display only the channels that are preset by the user and recorded in the non-volatile memory 68, or the channels set to be skipped may be hidden.

  The video display 14 displays a broadcast station corresponding to a broadcast signal selected by the second terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 56, the third terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 58, and the fourth terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 60 in the channel list. The video (or still image) broadcast on the channel may be displayed in the corresponding channel column.

  In the first embodiment, the channel selection by the remote controller 17 may be up / down tuning using the cursor key 17d in addition to the up / down tuning using the up / down key 17a. The channel may be selected by channel selection using the channel selection key 17d, selection by inputting a three-digit channel number, or channel selection by an EPG screen. Here, an example has been described in which the video display 14 displays a channel list as shown in FIG. 4 at the time of channel selection, but the channel list may not be displayed.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described. The digital television broadcast receiver 100 according to the second embodiment has the same configuration as the digital television broadcast receiver 100 according to the second embodiment shown in FIG. In the second embodiment, the first digital terrestrial broadcast tuner 54 is set as a viewing tuner. That is, when the user selects a desired channel using the remote controller 17, the video display 14 displays a video based on a video signal obtained by demodulating the broadcast signal selected by the first digital terrestrial broadcast tuner 54. To do.

  The second terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 56 is set to always select the broadcast signal of the channel of the broadcast station A, for example. The third terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 58 is set to always select the broadcast signal of the channel of the broadcast station B, for example. The fourth terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 60 is set to always select a broadcast signal of the channel of the broadcast station C, for example.

  When the user selects a channel in ascending or descending order using the up / down key 17a of the remote controller 17, the control module 69 switches the broadcast signal to be selected by the first terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 54 which is a viewing tuner. .

  The digital television broadcast receiver 100 switches the broadcast signal to be selected by the first digital terrestrial broadcast tuner 54, demodulates the broadcast signal by the first OFDM demodulation module 55, and performs digital signal processing by the signal processing module 51. Cost. The up / down channel selection can be switched to the next channel in ascending order or descending order after the signal processing is performed.

  Next, a case where the user selects a channel in the ascending order of the broadcasting station A, the broadcasting station B, the broadcasting station C, and the broadcasting station D using the up / down key 17a will be described. Similar to the first embodiment, the video display 14 displays the channel list shown in FIG. 4 at the time of up / down tuning. Here, the video display 14 displays a video based on a video signal obtained by demodulating the broadcast signal of the channel of the broadcasting station A selected by the first digital terrestrial broadcasting tuner 54.

  In this state, when the user switches from the broadcasting station A channel to the broadcasting station B channel using the up / down key 17a, the focus position in the channel list moves from the broadcasting station A channel column to the broadcasting station B channel column. To do.

  Since the control module 69 selects the broadcast signal of the channel of the broadcasting station B by the third digital terrestrial broadcasting tuner 58 and performs the signal processing by the signal processing module 51 as the back processing, the video is immediately displayed on the video display device. 14 to display control.

  The control module 69 does not select the broadcast signal of the channel of the broadcasting station B by the first digital terrestrial broadcasting tuner 54 but selects the broadcast signal of the channel of the broadcasting station B by the third digital terrestrial broadcasting tuner 58. The video display 14 is controlled to display video based on the above.

  Therefore, the video display 14 can switch from the video of the program of the broadcast station A channel to the video of the program of the broadcast station B channel without delay. The display time on the video display 14 in up / down channel selection is shortened.

  When the user presses the enter key 17c of the remote controller 17 in a state where the focus position is in the channel column of the broadcast station B, the control module 69 first selects the broadcast signal corresponding to the channel of the broadcast station B.
