值得注意的是,在本發明實施例中,數位電視信號DTV符合數位視訊廣播(Digital Video Broadcasting,DVB)、進階電視標準委員會(Advanced Television Systems Committee,ATSC)或綜合數碼服務廣播(Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting,ISDB)等數位電視標準,本發明亦不限定於上述標準。進一步而言,在本發明中網路多媒體信號IPSIG中的多媒體資料MD1~MDn以及影音傳輸流TS1~TSn所必須符合的標準亦隨著數位電視信號DTV所採用的標準而有不同的設定。而多媒體顯示裝置121~12n則為可接收並播放符合上述標準的數位電視信號DTV的顯示裝置,本發明並不限定上述。 It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, the digital television signal DTV conforms to Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC), or Integrated Services Digital (Integrated Services Digital). The digital television standard such as Broadcasting, ISDB), and the present invention is not limited to the above standard. Further, in the present invention, the standards that the multimedia data MD1~MDn and the audiovisual transport streams TS1~TSn in the network multimedia signal IPSIG must conform to are also differently set according to the standard adopted by the digital television signal DTV. The multimedia display devices 121 to 12n are display devices capable of receiving and playing a digital television signal DTV conforming to the above standard, and the present invention is not limited to the above.

舉例而言,當數位電視信號符合DVB的標準時,影 音傳輸流TS1~TSn之格式則符合動態圖像專家組第二標準(Moving Picture Experts Group,MPEG-2)中所規範的傳輸串流格式(Transport Stream,TS)。當包括於網路多媒體信號IPSIG的多媒體資料MD1~MDn的格式為聯合視頻組(Joint Video Team,JVT)所訂定的H.264影音壓縮標準,或其他被DVB標準所支持的影音格式時,傳輸流轉換器1131~113n僅需將多媒體資料MD1~MDn由網路資料的封包形式轉換為MPEG2中的傳輸串流格式。而當網路多媒體信號中包括的多媒體資料MD1~MDn的影音格式不為DVB所支持時,傳輸流轉換器1131~113n便需先將多媒體資料MD1~MDn轉換成一個DVB所可以支持的壓縮標準(例如上述之H.264影音壓縮標準)再將符合前述壓縮標準的多媒體資料MD1~MDn轉換為MPEG2中的傳輸串流格式。 For example, when a digital TV signal conforms to the DVB standard, The format of the tone transport streams TS1~TSn conforms to the Transport Stream (TS) format specified in the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG-2). When the format of the multimedia materials MD1~MDn included in the network multimedia signal IPSIG is the H.264 video compression standard set by the Joint Video Team (JVT), or other audio and video formats supported by the DVB standard, The transport stream converters 1131 to 113n only need to convert the multimedia data MD1~MDn from the packetized form of the network material to the transport stream format in MPEG2. When the audio and video formats of the multimedia data MD1~MDn included in the network multimedia signal are not supported by DVB, the transport stream converters 1131~113n need to first convert the multimedia data MD1~MDn into a compression standard that DVB can support. (For example, the above-mentioned H.264 video compression standard), the multimedia data MD1~MDn conforming to the aforementioned compression standard are converted into the transmission stream format in MPEG2.

值得一提的是,一般的數位電視信號DTV中除了各節目的影音傳輸流(影音傳輸流TS1~TSn)更包括了節目資訊,例如MPEG2傳輸流標準中的節目資訊(Program Specific Information,PSI)或是DVB或ISDB標準中的服務資訊(Service Information,SI)或是ATSC標準中的節目與系統資訊(Program and System Information Protocol,PSIP)。在本發明中,網路單元111可從網路多媒體信號IPSIG中依據多媒體資料MD1~MDn相關的節目資訊,製作並提供節目資訊SI/PSI至數位電視調變器114。當數位電視調變器114接收到對應於各個多媒體資料MD1~ MDn,也就是對應於影音傳輸流TS1~TSn的節目資訊SI,數位電視調變器114便可在數位電視信號DTV中加入節目資訊SI,此節目資訊便對應於數位電視信號DTV中的各個節目。 It is worth mentioning that in the general digital television signal DTV, in addition to the audio and video transmission streams of each program (video transmission streams TS1~TSn), program information, such as Program Specific Information (PSI) in the MPEG2 transport stream standard, is included. It is either Service Information (SI) in the DVB or ISDB standard or Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP) in the ATSC standard. In the present invention, the network unit 111 can create and provide the program information SI/PSI to the digital television modulator 114 from the network multimedia signal IPSIG based on the program information related to the multimedia materials MD1~MDn. When the digital television modulator 114 receives the corresponding multimedia data MD1~ MDn, that is, the program information SI corresponding to the video transmission streams TS1~TSn, the digital television modulator 114 can add the program information SI to the digital television signal DTV, and the program information corresponds to each program in the digital television signal DTV. .

請繼續參照圖2,控制單元115,耦接遙控信號接收器116、網路單元111及解多工器112。當遙控信號接收器116接收遙控信號(遙控信號RS1~RSn之一)時,遙控信號接收器116傳送遙控信號(遙控信號RS1~RSn之一)至控制單元115。控制單元115則根據遙控信號(遙控信號RS1~RSn之一)控制網路單元111從外部網路接收包括對應於遙控信號(遙控信號RS1~RSn之一)的多媒體資料(多媒體資料MD1~MDn之一)之網路多媒體信號IPSIG,並且傳送通知NF至解多工器112將對應於遙控信號(遙控信號RS1~RSn之一)的多媒體資料(多媒體資料MD1~MDn之一)傳送至對應於遙控信號(遙控信號RS1~RSn之一)的傳輸流轉換器1131~113n之一。 Referring to FIG. 2, the control unit 115 is coupled to the remote control signal receiver 116, the network unit 111, and the demultiplexer 112. When the remote control signal receiver 116 receives the remote control signal (one of the remote control signals RS1 to RSn), the remote control signal receiver 116 transmits the remote control signal (one of the remote control signals RS1 to RSn) to the control unit 115. The control unit 115 controls the network unit 111 to receive multimedia data corresponding to the remote control signal (one of the remote control signals RS1~RSn) according to the remote control signal (one of the remote control signals RS1~RSn) (the multimedia materials MD1~MDn) a) the network multimedia signal IPSIG, and the transmission notification NF to the multiplexer 112 transmits the multimedia material (one of the multimedia materials MD1~MDn) corresponding to the remote control signal (one of the remote control signals RS1~RSn) to the remote control One of the transport stream converters 1131 to 113n of the signal (one of the remote control signals RS1 to RSn).

舉例來說,請參照圖1及圖2,多媒體顯示裝置121固定接收數位電視訊號DTV中的節目1,對應於影音傳輸流TS1的內容。而多媒體顯示裝置121的觀看者欲切換目前所觀看的影音內容,便操縱控制裝置131按下切換影音內容之按鍵(控制裝置131接收到操作信號OS1)。控制裝置131便對應操作信號OS1發送遙控信號RS1至多媒體分享裝置110。 For example, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the multimedia display device 121 fixedly receives the program 1 in the digital television signal DTV, corresponding to the content of the video transmission stream TS1. When the viewer of the multimedia display device 121 wants to switch the currently viewed video content, the manipulation control device 131 presses a button for switching the video content (the control device 131 receives the operation signal OS1). The control device 131 transmits the remote control signal RS1 to the multimedia sharing device 110 corresponding to the operation signal OS1.

多媒體分享裝置的控制單元115透過接收到遙控信號 RS1後,根據遙控信號RS1傳送命令CM至網路單元111確保遙控信號RS1中所指定的影音內容得以被網路單元111接收,並且同時傳送通知NF至解多工器112通知解多工器112以所指定的影音內容作為多媒體資料MD1傳送至傳輸流轉換器1131。這麼一來,固定接收數位電視訊號DTV中節目1的多媒體顯示裝置121便切換成播放由操作信號所指定的影音內容。 The control unit 115 of the multimedia sharing device receives the remote control signal After RS1, the command CM is transmitted to the network unit 111 according to the remote control signal RS1 to ensure that the video and audio content specified in the remote control signal RS1 is received by the network unit 111, and the notification NF is simultaneously transmitted to the demultiplexer 112 to notify the demultiplexer 112. The specified video content is transmitted to the transport stream converter 1131 as the multimedia material MD1. In this way, the multimedia display device 121 that fixedly receives the program 1 of the digital television signal DTV switches to play the video content specified by the operation signal.

值得一提的是,一般而言,由網路單元111所接收的網路多媒體信號IPSIG中包括的多媒體資料之數量超過多媒體資料MD1~MDn的數量,也就是n值。由控制單元115所發送的命令CM實為確保目前由網路單元111所接收的多媒體資料中包括了指定的影音內容,也就是多媒體資料。若目前網路單元111所接收的多媒體資料中已具有指定的影音內容,則網路單元111便不需再多向外部網路,例如外部網路中的一多媒體伺服器發出增加網路多媒體信號IPSIG所包括的多媒體資料的要求。若目前所接收的多媒體資料中不具有指定的影音內容,網路單元111便發出上述之要求。 It is worth mentioning that, in general, the number of multimedia materials included in the network multimedia signal IPSIG received by the network unit 111 exceeds the number of multimedia data MD1~MDn, that is, the value of n. The command CM sent by the control unit 115 ensures that the specified multimedia content, that is, the multimedia material, is included in the multimedia material currently received by the network unit 111. If the multimedia data received by the network unit 111 already has the specified audio and video content, the network unit 111 does not need to send more network multimedia signals to an external network, such as a multimedia server in the external network. Requirements for multimedia materials included in IPSIG. If the currently received multimedia material does not have the specified audio and video content, the network unit 111 issues the above request.
