Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a menu screen setting technology in a broadcast receiver, and more particularly, to a menu screen setting method of a broadcast receiver suitable for displaying a menu screen reflecting user priorities in a broadcast receiver provided with various information such as IPTV (Internet Protocol TV). It is about.
Recently, with the development of digital technologies such as digital image compression and digital modulation / demodulation, the standardization and commercialization of digital television broadcasting is rapidly progressing. Also, in the conventional terrestrial, satellite, and cable broadcasting, MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) Based on this trend, digitalization is on the rise.
In digital broadcasting, a plurality of broadcast programs encoded based on MPEG are multiplexed and transmitted in the form of a transport stream (hereinafter, referred to as a TS), which is a set-top box installed at a receiver. A plurality of broadcast programs received by a digital broadcast receiver such as a top box (hereinafter referred to as STB) and included in a TS are demultiplexed.
Therefore, only one broadcast program desired by the user can be selected. Also, in a digital broadcast receiver such as an STB, the selected broadcast program is restored to the original audio and video signal by using an MPEG decoder provided in the receiver, The output is sent to the same A / V output device.
On the other hand, IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) is a device for transmitting a broadcast program over the IP network, it can be contrasted with general cable broadcasting in that viewers can watch the program they want to watch at a convenient time.
IPTV has no difference from general cable broadcasting or satellite broadcasting in that it provides broadcasting contents including video, but it is characterized by the added interactivity. Unlike general public broadcasting, cable broadcasting or satellite broadcasting, viewers can watch only the programs they want to watch at a convenient time. Therefore, the initiative of TV broadcasting is passed from the broadcasting company or the broadcaster to the viewers.
In order to use such an IPTV, a TV receiver, a set-top box, and an Internet line must be interconnected. For example, an IP set-top box and a dedicated line provided from an IP broadcasting server must be connected to the TV.
Due to the fact that IPTV provides various contents using a dedicated Internet line, a lot of information can be displayed on a TV screen. For example, when the IPTV is first activated, the menu screen displayed at the bottom of the TV screen provides not only general broadcasting channel information but also rather complicated information such as drama, general movie, high definition movie, and recommended content item. This is due to the bi-directionality of IPTV, and as the content is provided, menu information may be complicated.
That is, since the existing IPTV menu screen displays a relatively large amount of information on a limited screen, it is difficult for the user to select a menu item actually required.
Accordingly, an aspect of the present invention is to provide a menu screen setting technology of a broadcast receiver capable of inducing a user to easily select a menu item preferred by displaying menu screen information configured according to a user's priority.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method of setting a menu screen of a broadcast receiver connected to a broadcast server through a communication network, the method comprising: displaying a menu screen when the broadcast receiver is activated; When menu item selection information generated when selecting an item is input, a broadcast receiver comprising transmitting the menu item selection information to the broadcast server and receiving and displaying user priority menu screen information from the broadcast server. Provides a method of setting the menu screen.
According to the present invention, the menu screen information configured according to the user's priority can be displayed to induce a user to easily select a preferred menu item, thereby increasing the convenience of using the IPTV.
Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail an embodiment of the present invention.
