Description

  The present invention relates to a technique in which a user operates content displayed on a television using a set-top box in a home network.

  With the increasing size of television, the value of existence as a digital media player in the home is increasing. In general, a remote controller is used to operate content viewed by a user on a television. The remote controller is provided with various individual buttons such as “channel switching”, “volume control”, “menu display”, “program guide display”. The user can select desired content and view it on the television while pressing the button.

  In homes, home networks that connect a plurality of different home appliances to each other via a LAN (Local Area Network) have become widespread. There is a DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) (registered trademark) as an industry standardization organization that prescribes a protocol used in a home network. The DLNA-compliant protocol realizes a home network in a multi-vendor environment, and can perform remote control and operation state monitoring from one device to the other device.

  Of course, personal use information terminals such as tablet terminals and smartphones are also connected to the home network. Such a terminal is generally equipped with a touch panel display. The user can start an application or view music or video content by a fingertip operation on the touch panel display.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is an interface technology that centrally controls one or more DMSs (Digital Media Servers) from a DMC (Digital Media Controller) using DLNA (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to this technique, a DVD / HDD recorder having a DMS function is operated from a television having a DMC function. The DVD / HDD recorder represents an operation function with a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), and stores a control command for executing each function in the content list. The television displays the content list acquired from the DVD / HDD recorder, a control command is selected on the content list, and the URL associated with the control command is accessed. As a result, the DVD / HDD recorder executes a control command designated from the television.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram to which the present invention is applied.

According to the system of FIG. 1, the set top box 1 and the terminal 2 are connected to a LAN as a home network and can communicate with each other.
The set top box 1 is also connected to a WAN (Wide Area Network) via a cable, for example. The set top box 1 receives a broadcast wave signal from the broadcast wave distribution device 4 and converts the broadcast wave signal into a broadcast wave image (video) by a tuner. In addition, Web content is acquired from the Web server 5 and a Web image (video) is generated by rendering the Web content on a browser. Then, the set top box 1 outputs broadcast wave images and Web images to the television 3 from the HDMI (registered trademark) output port, and allows the user to view these images. Further, the set top box 1 can also transmit the broadcast wave image and the Web image as they are to the terminal 2 via the LAN.

According to the present invention, the terminal 2 is assumed to be equipped with a touch panel such as a tablet terminal or a smartphone. The touch panel may be a touch panel display integrated with the display, or may be a separate one.
Further, the terminal 2 can receive broadcast wave images or Web images from the set top box 1 via the LAN, and can display these images on its own display. According to the present invention, the image displayed on the television 3 and the image displayed on the display of the terminal 2 are displayed in synchronization. Then, the user can operate the viewing content by operating the touch panel of the terminal 2 with a fingertip.

The set top box 1 and the terminal 2 communicate on the LAN using a home network protocol. The home network protocol may be, for example, a DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) (registered trademark) compliant protocol.
In this case, the set-top box 1 functions as a DLNA compatible DMS (Digital Media Server) or M-DMS (Mobile-DMS).
Further, the terminal 2 functions as a DLNA compatible DMC (Digital Media Controller) or M-DMC (Mobile-DMC).

According to the DLNA protocol stack, Ethernet (registered trademark) or wireless LAN (IEEE802.11) is applied as the physical layer.
TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) is applied as the network layer and the transport layer.
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is applied as the content transmission protocol.
As a device connection protocol, UPnP DA (Universal Plug and Play Device Architecture) is applied. According to the present invention, “UPnP Tablet” is defined in the UPnP stack, and transmission / reception of DMC extended commands is implemented.

When the set-top box 1 and the terminal 2 are connected via a LAN, they are generally connected via an access point, but may be directly communicated using Wi-Fi Direct.
Further, from the viewpoint of security of viewing content transferred between the set top box 1 and the terminal 2, DTCP-IP (Digital Transmission Content Protection-Internet Protocol) may be used. DTCP-IP is a technical standard for transmitting content protected by copyright protection technology (DRM (Digital Rights Management)) for inter-device communication based on IP. Each device holds a certificate, exchanges an encryption key by mutual authentication between devices, and then encrypts and transmits / receives the content. Since the content transmitted from the set top box 1 is based on copyright, it is preferable to use a secure link connection.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of an operation mode table representing the association between the operation event and the screen operation function in the present invention for a broadcast wave image.
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of an operation mode table representing the association between the operation event and the screen operation function in the present invention for a Web image.

The set top box 1 registers an “operation mode table” in which a screen operation function is associated with each operation event.
The operation mode table associates “operation event” in which the user moves his / her finger on the touch panel with “screen operation function” for viewing content displayed on the display of the television 3 and the terminal 2.
Thereby, the set top box 1 can determine the next broadcast wave image or web image according to the screen operation function for the operation event in the broadcast wave image or web image being output to the television 3.

Examples of operation events include the following.
Tap (tap, single tap)
Double tap
Long tap, long press
Flick
Flick up, up flick
Flick down, down flick
Flick right, right flick
Left flick (flick left, left flick)
Swipe
Swipe up, up swipe
Swipe down, down swipe
Swipe right, right swipe
Swipe left, left swipe
Pinch-in (pinch-in, pinch-close)
Pinch-out (pinch-out, pinch-open)
Multi-tap, multi-tap
Examples of the screen operation function include the following.
Channel selection UP, DOWN
Volume adjustment bar display Menu display Program guide display Screen display enlarged / reduced

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the operation mode table of the set-top box 1 preferably has different associations between operation events and screen operation functions for broadcast wave images and web images. This is because the broadcast image and the Web content have different operation images for the user.

  FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram for establishing a DLNA link.

A sequence for establishing a DLNA link between the set top box 1 and the terminal 2 is executed.
(S01) First, for example, when the terminal 2 is connected to the home network, the terminal 2 broadcasts a search request (SEARCH), and the set-top box 1 that has received the request returns a response (200 OK).
(S02) Next, the terminal 2 transmits a service request (GET (Description)) to the set top box 1. In this case, the terminal 2 notifies the set-top box 1 of its device specifications. In response to this, the set-top box 1 returns a response (200 OK) including its device specifications to the terminal 2.
(S03) Next, the set-top box 1 transmits an operation event registration (EVENTING (Subscription)) to the terminal 2, and the terminal 2 returns a response (200OK). As a result, an “operation event” to be transmitted from the terminal 2 to the set top box 1 is set.
(S04) Then, the terminal 2 transmits an operation event (EVENTING (Messages)) to the set top box 1. Initially, an operation event for “menu display” is preferably transmitted. The terminal 2 transmits an operation event to the set top box 1 as an extended command in the Event Message of the DMC command. On the other hand, the set top box 1 outputs a menu image to the television 3 and responds to the terminal 2.

  FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram of a broadcast wave image viewing operation according to the present invention.

  The set top box 1 registers in advance an operation mode table in which screen operation functions are associated with each operation event.

(S1: first step)
The set top box 1 transmits the broadcast wave image to the television 3 and simultaneously transmits it to the terminal 2.
(S2: Second step)
The terminal 2 displays the received broadcast wave image on the touch panel display. The user operates the touch panel display of the terminal 2 with a fingertip. For example, it is assumed that a “right swipe” operation is performed. The terminal 2 describes the operation event detected on the touch panel display in the extended DMC command (EVENTING (Messages)) and transmits it to the set top box 1.
(S3: Third step)
The set top box 1 recognizes the operation event “right swipe” from the DMC extended command. Then, using the operation mode table, the next image is determined according to the screen operation function “channel selection (UP)” corresponding to the received operation event “right swipe”. That is, the channel number of the broadcast wave tuner is switched by incrementing by 1.

Thereafter, the set top box 1 repeats S1 to S3.
According to FIG. 5, the set top box 1 outputs the determined next broadcast wave image to the television 3 and simultaneously transmits it to the terminal 2.
On the other hand, the terminal 2 displays the received broadcast wave image on the touch panel display. The user operates the touch panel display of the terminal 2 with a fingertip. For example, assume that a “left swipe” operation is performed. The terminal 2 describes the operation event detected on the touch panel display in the extended DMC command (EVENTING (Messages)) and transmits it to the set top box 1.
The set top box 1 recognizes the operation event “left swipe” from the DMC extended command. Then, using the operation mode table, the next image is determined according to the screen operation function “channel selection (DOWN)” corresponding to the received operation event “left swipe”. That is, the channel number of the broadcast wave tuner is decremented by 1 and switched.

  FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram of a Web image viewing operation according to the present invention.

(S1: first step)
The set-top box 1 outputs the Web image to the television 3 and transmits it to the terminal 2 at the same time.
(S2: Second step)
The terminal 2 displays the received web image on the touch panel display. The user operates the touch panel display of the terminal 2 with a fingertip. For example, it is assumed that a “right swipe” operation is performed. The terminal 2 describes the operation event detected on the touch panel display in the extended DMC command (EVENTING (Messages)) and transmits it to the set top box 1.
(S3: Third step)
The set top box 1 recognizes the operation event “right swipe” from the DMC extended command. Then, using the operation mode table, the next image is determined according to the screen operation function “next page transition” corresponding to the received operation event “right swipe”. Here, the set top box 1 transmits a content request toward the URL of the next page. The Web server 5 with the URL responds to the set top box 1 with the Web content of the next page.

Thereafter, the set top box 1 repeats S1 to S3.
According to FIG. 6, the set top box 1 renders the received web content on the browser and transmits the web image to the terminal 2.
On the other hand, the terminal 2 displays the received Web image on the touch panel display. The user operates the touch panel display of the terminal 2 with a fingertip. For example, assume that a “left swipe” operation is performed. The terminal 2 describes the operation event detected on the touch panel display in the extended DMC command (EVENTING (Messages)) and transmits it to the set top box 1.
The set top box 1 recognizes the operation event “left swipe” from the DMC extended command. Then, using the operation mode table, the next image is determined according to the screen operation function “go to previous page” corresponding to the received operation event “left swipe”. Here, the set top box 1 transmits a content request toward the URL of the previous page. The Web server 5 of the URL responds to the set top box 1 with the Web content of the previous page.

  FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram showing Web content link selection in the present invention.

(S71) When the Web content acquired from the Web server 5 is rendered on the browser, the set top box 1 generates an operation coordinate area in which the operation area of the Web page is associated with the coordinate area of the Web image. The “operation area” refers to, for example, a tag anchor or a button click area. The “operation image area” may be designated by, for example, two diagonal coordinates in the operation area of the Web image.
Then, the set top box 1 transmits a Web image to the terminal 2.

(S72) The terminal 2 transmits an operation event including the operation coordinates touched by the user to the set top box 1. The operation event including the operation coordinates is defined as follows in the DMC extended command.
getX (), getY (): Touched X, Y coordinates In addition, the following operation events may be included.
getAction (): Touch event action
getDownTime (): Time that was pressed (ms unit)
getEdgeFlags (): Screen edge judgment
getSize (): Touched range, size (estimated)
getEventTime (): Duration of touch (ms)
getPressure (): Touched pressure

(S73) The set top box 1 determines whether or not the operation coordinates are included in the operation coordinate area. If it is determined to be true (included), the screen operation function of the Web page corresponding to the operation coordinate area is executed. That is, a content request based on the URL set in the tag anchor or button is transmitted to the Web server.

  FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram for selecting an operation mode table in accordance with the description of the Web content.

(S81) The set top box 1 acquires Web content from the Web server 5. At this time, the set top box 1 selects whether or not to use the operation mode table according to the document type description of the tag of the Web content. Specifically, an HTML DOCTYPE declaration is determined.
[When the operation mode table is not used]
<! DOCTYPE html>
・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・
[When using the operation mode table]
<! DOCTYPE html "http://www.jlabs.or.jp/DTD/hybridbox.dtd">
・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・
Here, DTD (Docment Type Definition) is declared. For example, the following JavaScript (registered trademark) library described in the DTD is acquired and activated.
<script src = "https://www.jlabs.or.jp/TR/js/hybridbox.js"></script>
This defines an “operation mode table” based on tablet operations in the present invention. In other words, the Web content can specify an operation mode table suitable for its own content.
That is, the set top box 1 can select any one operation mode table according to the description of the document type of the tag of the Web content.

  FIG. 9 is a functional configuration diagram of the set-top box according to the present invention.

  According to FIG. 9, the set-top box 1 includes, as main functions of the present invention, an operation mode table 10, an image output unit 11, an operation event reception unit 12, a next image determination unit 13, a rendering unit 14, An operation coordinate area generation unit 15 and an operation coordinate area detection unit 16 are included. These functional components are realized by a program that causes a computer mounted on the set top box to function.

[Operation mode table 10]
The operation mode table 10 associates each operation event with a screen operation function 8 (see FIGS. 2 and 3 described above).

[Image output unit 11]
The image output unit 11 outputs the image to the television and transmits it to the terminal 2 at the same time (see the first step S1 described above). The broadcast wave image is obtained by converting a broadcast wave signal received from the broadcast wave distribution device 4 via the WAN into an image by a broadcast tuner. The Web image is obtained by rendering Web content acquired from the Web server 5 via the Internet into an image on a browser. The image is transmitted to the terminal 2 using, for example, secure DTCP-IP.

[Operation event receiving unit 12]
The operation event receiving unit 12 receives an operation event detected on the touch panel display from the terminal 2 (see the second step S2 described above). The operation event is received as a UPnP DA DMC extension command. The received operation event is output to the next image determination unit 13.
Further, when the operation event includes an operation coordinate touched by the user, the operation event receiving unit 12 outputs the operation coordinate to the operation coordinate region detection unit 16.

[Next Image Determination Unit 13]
The next image determination unit 13 uses the operation mode table 10 to determine the next image according to the screen operation function corresponding to the received operation event (see the third step S3 described above). The next image determination unit 13 instructs the broadcast tuner for the broadcast wave image, and instructs the Web content acquisition unit for the Web image.

[Rendering unit 14]
The rendering unit 14 converts the web content into an image by rendering on the browser. The converted image is output to the image output unit 11.

[Operation Coordinate Area Generation Unit 15]
The operation coordinate area generation unit 15 generates an operation coordinate area in which the operation area of the Web page is associated with the coordinate area of the Web image. The generated operation coordinate area is output to the operation coordinate area detection unit 16.

[Operation Coordinate Area Detection Unit 16]
When the operation coordinates received from the operation event receiving unit 12 are included in the operation coordinate area, the operation coordinate area detection unit 16 executes the screen operation function of the Web page corresponding to the operation coordinate area. For example, the next image determination unit 13 is instructed for the Web content of the next URL that would have been operated.

  FIG. 10 is a functional configuration diagram of a terminal that can be operated by a user's fingertip.

  According to FIG. 10, the terminal 2 includes a display control unit 21, an operation event detection unit 22, and an operation event transmission unit 23. These functional components are realized by executing a program that causes a computer installed in the terminal to function.
