The present invention relates to an IPTV set-top box, and more particularly, to a data transmission and control system using an interlocking operation of an IPTV and a TV capable of remote control and transmission of data and video by interworking with an IPTV set-top box and a TV.

IPTV can transmit / receive wirelessly with a PC in the home, and integrates with all communication devices connected to the Internet such as home network, car navigation, mobile phone, etc. to provide PPV service and PVR service.

The spread of home network systems and the addition of content services that add to the convenience of life have a great ripple effect. Wireless network transmission and reception with the PC in the home, you can always search, the latest movies, images, etc. to the TV. It is a convergence system that enables you to experience the world of ubiquitous more conveniently with PPTV service on demand TV and PVR service with reservation recording function.

As the IPTV service market expands, technology standardization activities are actively in progress, and investment in facilities and equipment / parts for this is increasing. In terms of standardization by IPTV technology, activities are divided into access, codec, transport, middleware and content protection.

IPTV requires only a television set, a set-top box and an internet connection. Soon, you can add a set-top box or dedicated modem to your television and turn it on just like you turn on the television. Therefore, even a person who is not familiar with a computer can use the remote control to receive various contents and additional services provided by the Internet such as watching movies, home shopping, home banking, online games, and MP3s.

Set-top box (STB) is the core equipment of IPTV service that provides Internet U and broadcasting service by connecting existing TV and internet modem. It has evolved from the initial Internet TV STB (1st generation) to SD level to HD (high definition) IP STB. . IP STB will be in charge of home server function that provides VoD, 3D game, life information service, TV phone, VoIP, DVR, home network, T commerce, T-learnig, etc. Multifunctional and one-chip chips are currently of major concern.

However, the conventional technology requires at least two operations to operate because each product is separately controlled when the content and the additional service are provided using the IPTV and the TV. In other words, in order to watch TV, the operation was required in order to turn on the IPTV and turn on the TV.

However, in the present invention, all of these operations can be performed with only one operation. Hereinafter, the problems of the related art will be described with reference to FIG.

1 is a block diagram showing a data transmission system using a conventional IPTV and TV.

Referring to FIG. 1, when an IPTV and a TV are separately configured and a remote controller is operated to control each product, the IPTV system is controlled through an infrared sensor or the front panel input is used to adjust the IPTV system. If there is data searched by the user, the data processing unit connects to the desired server through the Internet repeater via Internet communication, receives the data, and sends the data back to the data processing unit through the Internet communication terminal. The received data is output using the video output terminal and the audio output terminal. This is the operation in the IPTV system. After that, in order to view or listen to the output data, the output is output through the TV section or output through the speaker. The data transmitted from the IPTV is connected to the input terminal of the TV system.

The TV system, like the above IPTV system, is controlled through a remote controller and front input for control.

As a result, in order to output data from the TV using the IPTV, hands are increased because the IPTV and the TV are operated separately.

In addition, the prior art has no product that can remotely power or turn off the IPTV and TV products from a remote location, and could not send video and data to acquaintances through the TV at a remote location.

In addition, the device could not be operated at a long distance, so it could only be operated from the remote control or front input of the product directly in front of the product.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, it is possible to control the power of the IPTV and TV remotely regardless of time and place by using the IPTV and TV interworking and can manage the channel of the TV currently watching anytime, anywhere The purpose is to provide a system capable of transmitting data and video.

The data transmission and control system using the IPTV and TV interworking according to the present invention can control the IPTV and TV together in one operation at a remote location, and can use not only power management but also picture, video transmission and messenger functions.

In addition, if the remote can know the IPTV and TV operation status of the desired place, the TV channels can be controlled remotely.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a data transmission and control system using an IPTV and a TV interworking system, comprising: a first step of transmitting a control signal to an IPTV by an arbitrary terminal located at a remote location; A second step of receiving an authentication code query message from the IPTV; A third step of checking whether the IPTV matches the authentication code by transmitting the authentication code to the IPTV; A fourth step of, if the authentication code matches, the terminal determines whether to power on / off of the IPTV, and if it is off, transmitting a power control signal for turning on the power and simultaneously transmitting a data signal; Determining a power on / off status of the TV linked with the IPTV, and transmitting a power control signal for turning on the power if the power is turned off; And a sixth step of the IPTV executing the data signal and outputting the data signal to the screen of the TV.

In addition, the data transmission and control system using the IPTV and TV interworking according to the present invention comprises a terminal for controlling the TV interlocking with the IPTV in the distance using IP; An IPTV which receives a data signal and a power control signal from the terminal and transmits the signals to an interlocking TV via an interface for communication; It includes a TV that receives the data signal through the interface for communication in conjunction with the IPTV, and executes and outputs the data accordingly.

The above objects, features and advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a block diagram of a data transmission and control system using an IPTV and a display device interworking according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the method of turning on the IPTV and the TV by remote control transmits a signal to turn on the IPTV and the TV from the remote PC, and is transmitted to three Internet repeaters through two Internet communications. Preferably the second internet communication uses IP. The tenth data processing unit receives the signal and controls the 27th power stage to turn on the power. In addition, if a signal for turning on the power to the interface for 18 times of TV communication is transmitted through the interface for 14 times of communication for turning on the TV, the data terminal of 21 controls 28 power stages to turn on the power.

Preferably, a completion message is transmitted to the PC indicating that the IPTV and the TV are powered on. Even more preferably, although FIG. 2 illustrates a terminal for transmitting a control signal to control a remote control of an IPTV and a TV by using a PC, the present invention is not limited to a PC, but includes a set-top box having a display device, a mobile phone, and a mobile terminal. Hereinafter, although referred to as a PC in Figure 2 will be described by naming the terminal.

The components of the present invention consist of a terminal, an IPTV, and a TV. Looking at the role of each component, the terminal uses the IP to control the TV linked to the IPTV at a distance. The IPTV receives a data signal and a power control signal from the terminal, and transmits the signals to an interlocking TV through an interface for communication. The TV receives the data signal through the interface for communication in conjunction with the IPTV, executes and outputs the data accordingly.

When receiving the control signal from the terminal, the IPTV sends an authentication code query message to the terminal and checks whether the authentication code matches. That is, since the terminal is any terminal, it is not possible to know who accesses. Therefore, the authentication code is transmitted to the terminal so that only an authenticated user can access the terminal, and receives a question and answer authentication code from the terminal to check whether it matches, and if so, responds to the control signal.

In addition, the IPTV receives a power control signal from the terminal, turns on the power, and transmits a completion message to the terminal.

In addition, the IPTV executes an operation included in the data signal received from the terminal and transmits an execution completion message to the terminal.

That is, the terminal transmits a data signal together with a power control signal to control the IPTV and the TV. If the IPTV is turned off, the terminal transmits a power ON completion message to the terminal while the power is turned on. The TV executes and outputs an operation included in the data signal, and transmits an execution completion message to the terminal. Therefore, since the terminal receives the completion message in real time, it is possible to determine the operation state of the IPTV and the TV.

Preferably, the IPTV extracts video and audio data from the data signal transmitted from the terminal and transmits the extracted video and audio data to the TV.

The terminal can control the IPTV and the TV remotely, and can control not only the power control but also the channel adjustment and the current viewing channel of the TV. The channel adjusting and viewing channel checking method is omitted since it is the same as the method for transmitting the above-mentioned power control signal to the TV through the IPTV. In addition, a messenger function may also be utilized by using an IPTV. When the terminal, that is, a terminal having a display, sends a message to the IPTV, the IPTV receives the IPTV and transmits the message to a TV interworking. Output the message to the screen. Since the messenger is a real-time chat, when a message is input using the front panel of the TV or a keypad and keyboard capable of composing a message, it is transmitted from the 21 data processor to the IPTV through the 18 interface. And transmits to the terminal located at a remote location.

In the method of transmitting and receiving data transmission and messenger functions, when the control signal is transmitted from the terminal, the terminal receives the control signal from the IPTV, and the TV linked with the terminal also receives the control signal, thereby controlling the IPTV and the TV at once.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a data transmission and control system using IPTV and display device interworking.

Referring to FIG. 3, an arbitrary terminal located at a remote place transmits a control signal to an IPTV (S300). Preferably, the terminal is any one or more of a PC, a set-top box, a mobile terminal, a terminal having a display. Even more preferably, if a terminal having a display in addition to the above-mentioned display apparatus and an internet access terminal is used, it is possible to remotely control a TV linked with an IPTV as in the present invention.

Receiving an authentication code query message from the IPTV (S310), and if the predetermined authentication code is transmitted to the IPTV, it is checked whether the IPTV matches the authentication code stored in the memory (S320). Check whether the authentication code is matched (S330), if it is matched, the terminal determines whether the power of the IPTV is turned on or off, and if it is off, transmits a power control signal for turning on the power and transmits a data signal (S340). ). The data signal is any one or more of a photo, video data, and a messenger message. The user can directly transmit a still image captured by a digital camera or a video image captured by a camcorder through a TV linked with an IPTV.

Preferably, when checking whether the authentication code matches, if the authentication code does not match even after counting a certain number of times, use sanctions such as prohibition of access for a certain period of time may be applied.

Thereafter, the terminal determines whether the TV interlocked with the IPTV is turned on or off, and if it is turned off, and transmits a power control signal for turning on the power (S350). The IPTV executes the data signal from the terminal and outputs the data signal to the screen of the TV (S360).

Preferably, the data signal transmitted from the terminal can be stored or deleted in the IPTV, which transmits data while the power of the IPTV is turned on, in which case the stored data is stored in case the power of the TV is turned off. Can be deleted. In addition, when the power of the IPTV is turned on and data is executed, a completion message may be transmitted to the terminal so that the user can operate the TV while watching the screen of the terminal in real time.

In addition, if there is no response message even after waiting for a predetermined time after the data execution is completed in the TV, the power of the IPTV and the TV is turned off to prevent unnecessary power waste.

In addition, the data signal transmitted from the terminal is immediately output to the screen of the TV, but a message asking whether to execute on the screen may be implemented to be selected by the user.

Preferably, the TV linked with the IPTV is a terminal having a display similar to the terminal and the present invention is described as a TV, but is not limited to the TV.

The terminal may remotely control a channel by interworking a channel of the TV with an IPTV. In other words, it is possible to control from a remote location away from the existing remote control or front input.

In the present invention, it is possible to control the TV using a terminal at a remote location, which transmits data from the terminal to the IPTV remotely via IP to operate the IPTV and the TV remotely. Preferably, the IP is a fixed or floating IP, which can block any fixed IP in the IPTV.

In addition, it is possible to transmit a data signal to any terminal remotely located remotely through the TV linked with the IPTV, it is possible to transmit the data stored in the IPTV using the IP. For example, if you are watching a movie embedded in an IPTV at home, and you want to send it to a TV in a friend's house located at a distance, the movie may be transmitted using IP. If the TV of the friend's house is turned off as in the present invention, it is authenticated by IPTV and remotely turned on to transmit the movie.

In summary, the present invention is a technology that can control the two products together in one operation by interlocking with the IPTV and the TV, apart from the technology for controlling each when using the existing IPTV and TV. Users can utilize real-time messenger functions as well as send data such as photos and videos. Therefore, since it is a remote control using IP, there is a convenience that can use the TV anywhere anytime anywhere.

The present invention described above is capable of various substitutions, modifications, and changes without departing from the spirit of the present invention for those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. It is not limited by the drawings.
