The news information has been conventionally supplied in the form of printed matter such as newspapers or the form of broadcasting such as radio and television.

[0003]

However, the only way to obtain the news information is to read a newspaper or watch a news report on a radio or television broadcast at a predetermined time. Since newspapers are normally issued only twice a day in the morning and evening, it is possible to obtain information at a desired time and place, but it lacks real-time property as compared with broadcasting on television, radio and the like.

On the other hand, the latest information, for example, news information such as television and radio which are regularly broadcast is not necessarily broadcast at the time desired by the viewer, and must be watched at the news broadcast time.

That is, the conventional news information supply method has a problem that the latest information cannot be efficiently obtained at a desired time.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and stores the news information transmitted in various forms to easily transmit the latest news information and the transmitted news information. It is an object of the present invention to provide an information transmitting device and an information reproducing device capable of efficiently reproducing information.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In an embodiment, information is transmitted by being multiplexed with an independent data part of a BS, and news information obtained by receiving and decoding the transmitted information is reproduced on a television according to an instruction from a user. An information reproducing system including the information transmitting device and the information reproducing device will be described below.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an information reproducing system including an information transmitting device for distributing news information and an information reproducing device for reproducing news information. As shown in FIG. 1, in the information transmission device, news information is stored in the news information database large-scale computer 1. This news information is transmitted to the workstation 2 as needed.

The news information does not have to be continuously broadcast, but it is sufficient to broadcast it at a predetermined time. For example, the decided time is basically twice a day, morning and evening,
In addition to this, it will be broadcast when there is a need to update the news. In other words, weather forecasts and news of serious accidents should be broadcast immediately.

The workstation 2 retrieves the news information from the large-scale computer 1 and transmits it to the broadcasting center 3 at a predetermined time of the day. The broadcasting center 3 multiplexes the news information into the independent data section of the BS, encodes it, and broadcasts it. The broadcast signal is displayed on a television (hereinafter, TV) 6 as an information reproducing device via a BS (broadcast satellite) 4 and an outdoor device 5.

Next, the structure of news information broadcast from the broadcasting center 3 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the news information is divided into some (N in the example of FIG. 2) articles. At the head of the news information, the number of articles 12 (value of N) is arranged, and after that, the pointers to each article are arranged (in the example of FIG. 2, since there are N articles, There are N pointers).

The data structure of the article will be described below by taking article 1 (15) as an example. The article 1 (15) of article number 1 is arranged at the position indicated by the pointer 13 to the article 1 (15). Article 1 (15) is further divided into some pieces of information. The number of information (M in the example of FIG. 2) is arranged at the head of the article data. Next to that, a pointer 17 to the voice output text is arranged.

The text for voice output is text that is generated in parallel with the reproduction of the article (that is, while the text or the still image is displayed on the television screen) (at the same time). . This is usually an announcement (sound) in news that is broadcast on television, and provides explanations throughout the article.

Next to the pointer 17 to the voice output text, an article genre 18 is arranged. The genres of articles are classified into the following six types. 0: Politics 1: Economy 2: Science 3: Sports 4: Entertainment 5: Weather forecast

The user can prioritize the articles and change the order of article reproduction by designating the genre using the designating means described later. From the article genre 18 of the article, pointers to each information are arranged (M in the example of FIG. 2).

Taking the pointer 19 to the information 1 (21) as an example,
The data structure of the information 1 (21) will be described. First, the information type 22 is arranged. The types of information are divided into text, still images, and moving images, as shown below. 0: Text 1: Still image 2: Video

In the example of the information 1 (21), since it is "0", it indicates that this information is text.

The data structure of information differs depending on the type of information. The data structure in the case of text is explained below. A display time 23 is arranged next to the information type 22. The time, in seconds, that this text continues to be displayed is written here. For example, if "5" is written, this means that this information, that is, text, is displayed for 5 seconds. After that, the number of text information 24
(I in the example of FIG. 2) is arranged. After the number 24 of text information, a pointer to each text is arranged. In the example of FIG. 2, since there are I pieces of text information,
There are I pointers.

The text will be explained by taking the text 1 designated by the pointer 25 as an example. Pointer 2 to text 1
In the text information area 27 indicated by 5, the X coordinate 38 when the text 1 is displayed on the screen is arranged. Following this, the Y coordinate 39 and the font size 40 are arranged. Next, the length 28 of the text 1 is arranged. This is because the text 1 has a variable length. Furthermore, the text 1 (29) is arranged from the next. The same applies to the texts 2 and after.

Next, a case where the type of information is a still image will be described. This corresponds to the case of information 2 (33) in FIG. In the case of a still image, the information type 34 is "1"
(Still image). Next to that, as in the case of the text, the display time 35 is arranged and shows the display time of this still image. From that point on, still image information 3 for still images
6 (image data) are arranged.

Although not shown in FIG. 2 in the case of a moving image, the display time in the case of a still image is lost, and the still image information only becomes moving image information.

The user uses a remote controller 62 (FIG. 3) described later.
To play the news information on the TV screen. Also, by specifying the genre of the article, the priority of the article to be reproduced is set.

FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of the TV 6. The signal broadcast from the broadcasting center 3 is transmitted to the BS via the outdoor device 5.
It is demodulated by the tuner 51 and further decoded by the decoder 52 into news information. The decoded news information is stored in the RAM 60 under the control of the CPU 61. The operation of the CPU 61 is executed by a control program stored in the ROM 59.

BS video signals (including audio signals) other than news information input to the BS tuner 51 are output as video outputs to the CTR 53 of the TV 6 by switching the switch SW1 to the a side. NTSC signal generation circuit 54
Under the control of the CPU 61, generates an NTSC signal from the news image data generated by the news information stored in the RAM 60, switches the switch SW1 to the b side, and outputs it to the CRT 53 of the TV 6 as a video output. ing.

The switch SW1 is switched based on a command from the remote controller 62, which will be described later.
Is controlled by controlling the video output switching control circuit 55.

On the other hand, the TV 6 is equipped with a remote control receiving circuit 56 which receives an infrared signal from a remote control 62 which generates an infrared signal and outputs various control contents (commands) by the infrared signal. , Photoelectrically converts the infrared signal and outputs the photoelectrically converted signal to the command decoder 57. The command decoder 57 generates a command corresponding to the remote control input by decoding the photoelectric conversion signal, and outputs the generated command to the CPU 61.

The command is provided on the remote controller 62,
Upward key 63, Downward key 64, Priority key 65,
These commands are commands corresponding to various keys such as the select key 66 and the play key 67. The functions of the above keys will be described later, but the NTSC signal generation circuit 54 sends the NTSC signal, and the news image to the CRT 53 via SW1. By displaying, the priority order of articles to be reproduced as a news image is set using the remote controller 62.

When the CPU 61 outputs the text information of the news information to the text reading circuit 58, the text reading circuit 58 converts the text information of the news information into voice output and outputs it to a speaker (not shown). There is.

The operation of the system thus configured will be described. The workstation 2 retrieves the news information from the large-scale computer 1 and transmits it to the broadcasting center 3 at a predetermined time of the day. The broadcasting center 3 multiplexes the news information into the independent data section of the BS and broadcasts it. The broadcast signal is input to the TV 6 via the BS (broadcast satellite) 4 and the outdoor device 5. In the TV 6, the input information is stored in the RAM 60 (or, after being recorded in a hard disk, a magneto-optical disk (not shown), etc., it is read out from there and stored in the RAM 60).

Then, the user specifies the priority order of the articles to be reproduced by specifying the genre of the articles by using the remote controller 62 shown in FIG. The processing for this designation will be described below. 4 to 6 are flowcharts showing the flow of this priority order processing.

The designation of the priority order starts when the operation of the priority order key 65 of the remote controller 62 is confirmed.
When the priority key 65 is operated, the remote controller 62 transmits a signal indicating that the priority key 65 has been operated by infrared rays. This signal is photoelectrically converted by the remote control receiving circuit 56 and output to the command decoder 57. The command decoder 57 decodes the signal and outputs the priority key 6
A signal indicating that 5 has been operated is output to the CPU 61.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the CPU 61
This signal is waited for in step S1, and when this signal is input, the switch SW1 is switched to the b side via the video output switching control circuit 55 in step S2.
Next, in step S3, the priority screen 71 shown in FIG. 7A is displayed via the NTSC signal generation circuit 54.

At this time, the priority screen 71 is in the initial state, and as shown in FIG. 7A, all are unspecified. As described above, the news information is, for example, 6 in total.
Since they are classified into different genres, it is sufficient to specify 6 items.

The number of genre classifications is not limited to six as described above, but other genres (for example, society, culture, etc.) may be added, or further genre classifications (for example, genre "politics", "international" It may be classified into "politics" and "domestic politics".

Immediately after displaying the priority screen, the CPU 6
In step S4, as shown in FIG. 7A, No. 1 encloses the rank 1 of the priority screen 71 with a rectangular frame 71a. By assigning a genre to the area surrounded by the rectangular frame 71a, the articles are given priority.

Then, in step S5, first, the remote controller 6
It is determined whether or not the down key 2 of 2 is operated. If operated, the process proceeds to step S6. If not operated, the process proceeds to step S8. In step S6, it is determined whether or not the order currently surrounded by the rectangular frame 71a is unspecified, and if unspecified, the process returns to step S5.
That is, the rectangular frame 71a is not moved. This is for avoiding a situation in which, for example, rank 1 is unspecified and rank 2 has some kind of genre specified.

If not specified, the square frame 71a is moved to the next rank in step S7, and the process returns to step S5. However, in the case of rank 6 in step S7, the process moves to rank 1.

In step S8, it is determined whether or not the up key 63 of the remote controller 62 is operated. If it is operated, in step S9, the square frame 71a is moved to the previous order, and the process returns to step S5 and is not operated. If so, the process proceeds to step S10 in FIG. However, if the rank is 1 in step S9, the rank 6 is moved to.

As described above, by operating the up key 63 or the down key 64, the rectangular frame 71a can be cyclically moved with respect to the predetermined ones of the ranks 1 to 6.

In step S10 of FIG. 5, the remote controller 62 is
If it is operated, the process proceeds to step S11. If it is not operated, the process proceeds to step S12. In step S11, the switch SW is switched through the video output switching circuit 55.
1 is switched to the a side, and the reproduction order determination process of step S13 is called, and the process ends. Although details of the reproduction order determination process will be described later, the reproduction order determination process is a process of determining the reproduction order of the articles based on the genre designated on the priority screen.

When the square frame 71a is moved and the genre is designated in the order, the selection key 66 is operated. For example, in order to specify the genre with the priority order 1, FIG.
On the screen of, the selection key 66 is operated with the square frame 71a arranged in the priority order 1.

Therefore, in step S12, the remote controller 6
It is determined whether or not the second selection key 66 has been operated. If it has been operated, the process proceeds to step S14, and if it has not been operated, the process returns to step S5 (FIG. 4). Step S14
Then, the CPU 61 causes the genre screen 72 shown in FIG.
Is displayed and the process moves to step S15. In the genre screen in the initial state displayed in step S15, FIG.
As shown in (b), "politics" on the genre screen 72 is surrounded by a square frame 72a.

In step S16 of FIG. 6, the remote controller 62 is
It is determined whether or not the down key 64 has been operated. If it has been operated, the process proceeds to step S17, and if it has not been operated, the process proceeds to step S18. In step S17,
Move the rectangular frame 72a to the next genre, and step S16
Return to. However, in step S17, if the square frame 72a is located at "weather forecast" in FIG.
Go to "politics".

In step S18, it is determined whether or not the up key 63 of the remote controller 62 is operated. If it is operated, in step S19, the square frame 72a is added to the previous genre.
To move to step S16 and, if not operated, proceed to step S20. However, step S19
Then, when the square frame 72a is located in "politics", it moves to "weather forecast".

Move the square frame 72a to a predetermined genre,
To select (determine) that genre, select key 66
To operate. Therefore, in step S20, the selection key 6
If 6 is operated, if it is operated,
The process proceeds to step S21, and if not operated, the process returns to step S16. In step S21, step S14
The genre in the order specified by is designated (changed) to the currently selected genre, the priority order screen 71 (FIG. 7A) is displayed in step S22, the process returns to step S4, and the same processing is performed. repeat.

That is, the rectangular frame 72a is similarly moved by operating the up key 63 and the down key 64 (steps S16 to S19). When the selection key 66 is operated after moving the frame 72a to the desired genre, the place selected in the frame 71a immediately before moving to the genre screen is changed to the genre selected on the genre screen (step S20). And step S21), the priority screen is displayed (step S22). as a result,
If, for example, "weather forecast" is selected on the genre screen, "weather forecast" is designated as the priority 1 on the priority screen 73, as shown in FIG. 7C. In this way, all the priorities can be designated by repeating the above processing.

Next, the reproduction order determination processing in step S13 of FIG. 5 will be described. Prior to that, the data structure of reproduction order specification data for specifying the reproduction order of articles will be described with reference to FIG. In this data structure, as shown in FIG. 8, article numbers of articles to be reproduced are simply arranged in order from the beginning. Also, the initial state of the data is
As indicated by reference numeral 81 in FIG. 8A, “1” is written at the beginning, and article numbers are written in order thereafter. this is,
This is because, when the user suddenly gives an instruction to reproduce the news without designating the rank, the articles are reproduced in ascending order of the article numbers. The reproduction order determination process is shown in FIG.
As indicated by reference numeral 82 in (b), it is a process of changing the reproduction order in the order designated by the priority designation process of FIG.

FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing the flow of the reproduction order determination process. As shown in FIG. 9, first, in step S31, variable i and variable j are set to 1, and step S31
At 32, it is checked whether or not the genre is designated in the variable i representing the priority order. If specified, in step S33, from the structure of the news information shown in FIG.
Search the articles in the same genre as the genre specified by the priority i, and step S3
Go to 4. If not specified in step S32, the process proceeds to step S40.

For example, in the example of the priority screen 73 in FIG. 7C, an article whose genre is "weather forecast" is searched for. Then, if the corresponding article is found in step S34, the article number is written in the j-th position (position from the left in FIG. 8) of the data structure of the reproduction order designation data shown in FIG. 8 in step S35.
Note that j = 1 indicates the head (left end) of the reproduction order designation data.

Next, in step S36, whether j = N,
That is, in the data structure of the reproduction order designation data,
It is judged whether or not it has been written to the end, and if it has been written, the processing is terminated. If it has not been written to the end, that is, if j <N, then 1 is added to j in step S37, and step S38. Proceed to.

In step S38, it is determined from the structure of the news information shown in FIG. 2 whether there is another article of the same genre as the genre designated by the priority order i.
If there is, the process returns to step S33 and the same processing is repeated. If not, i =
6, i.e., whether or not the processing has been completed for all priorities, and if not completed, 1 is added to i in step S41, and the process returns to step S32.
Similar processing is performed for the new rank.

If it is determined in step S40 that the processing has been completed, the process proceeds to step S42, and if there is an article that has not been selected, the data structure of the reproduction order designation data in FIG. We write in younger order,
The process ends.

For example, if there is no designation as shown in the priority screen 71 of FIG. 7A, nothing is written in the data structure of the reproduction order designation data in the process of the step before step S42. Absent. In this case, step S42
Then, write in the data structure of the reproduction order designation data while keeping the order of article numbers. Therefore, when all are unspecified, article numbers are sequentially written from 1 to N, as in the structure indicated by reference numeral 81 in FIG.

Further, as shown in the priority screen 73 of FIG. 7 (c), when "weather forecast" is specified in the rank 1 and the genre of the article with the article number "3" is "weather forecast" 8B, the article number "3" moves to the "start position 83", and thereafter, "1", as in the structure indicated by reference numeral 82 in FIG.
In this order, the article number “3” that has already been selected is removed and arranged.

After designating the priorities in this way, the user can instruct the reproduction of news information by operating the reproduction key 67 of the remote controller 62.

Next, the flow of this news information reproduction processing will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 10, when the reproduction key 67 is operated, first, in step S51, the switch SW1 is switched to the b side. Then, in step S52, i is set to 1, and in step S53, the i-th article number written from the data structure of the reproduction order designation data of FIG. 8 is read, and in step S54, the article of the read article number is read. From the data structure of the news information in FIG. Next, in step S55, the voice output text of the article is output to the text reading circuit 58 of FIG. 3 to start voice output. After that, the information of the article is reproduced,
While the information is being reproduced, the voice output continues to be uttered without interruption, and the process proceeds to step S56. The information is reproduced in order from the information 1 (see FIG. 2).

As described above, since the information is made up of a plurality of types (text, still image or moving image), step S
In 56, first determine whether the type of information is text,
In the case of text, in step S57, the text included in the information is displayed on the television screen for the display time at the designated X and Y coordinates in the designated font size, and then in step S61 (FIG. 11). ).

Here, the display example is shown in the reproduction screen 91 of FIG. Here, a plurality of texts 92, 9
Nos. 3 and 94 are displayed at the X and Y coordinates in a predetermined font size.

If it is not a text, the process proceeds to step S58 to determine whether the type of information is a still image. If it is a still image, at step S59, a reproduction screen 95 (for convenience, this is displayed as shown in FIG. 12B). (The figure is represented by a picture)
Is displayed for the display time, and the process proceeds to step S61.

In the case of a moving image, all the moving image data is reproduced in step S60 (the display time is not designated), and the process proceeds to step S61.

Then, in step S61 of FIG. 11, it is determined whether or not all the M pieces of information have been reproduced. If not, the next information is read in step S62, and the process returns to step S56 (FIG. 10). . If all M pieces of information have been reproduced, it is determined in step S63 whether i has become equal to N, and if i is not equal, that is, i
If N, then 1 is added to i in step S64, and the process returns to step S53 (FIG. 10). If they are equal, in step S65, the switch SW1 is switched to the side a in FIG. 3, and the process ends.

That is, these processes are continuously performed in the order of article numbers written from the beginning in the data structure of the reproduction order designation data in FIG.
As a whole, it means that the news has been played. And
When all the reproduction is completed, the switch SW1 is switched to the side a in FIG. 3 so that a normal television program can be displayed. By performing the processing as described above, it is possible to reproduce the news as if it were news broadcast to a normal television.

As described above, according to the information transmitting apparatus of the information reproducing system of the present embodiment, the news information generated by the workstation 2 is broadcast from the broadcasting center 3.
You can easily broadcast the latest news information. In the information reproducing apparatus, the broadcasted news information is received by the BS tuner 51, decoded by the decoder 52 and stored in the RAM 60, and the remote controller 62 designates the priority order of the genres of the news information stored in the RAM 60, and the CPU 61 Based on the priority order designated by the remote controller 62, the RAM 60
Change the structure of the news information, generate an image signal by the NTSC signal generation circuit 54, and output it as a CRT as a video output.
Since the news information is reproduced by outputting to 53, the latest news information can be efficiently reproduced in the time zone desired by the user.

Although the broadcasting center 3 for BS broadcasting is used as the broadcasting means, the present invention is not limited to this, and a system using a broadcasting center for cable broadcasting using optical fibers or the like can also obtain the same effect. it can.
