The user can select the menu language through the remote control, and the selected language (such as Language 1) is used as the menu language of the display device.

Considering that the menu languages usually set by users are mostly their own native language, while there are more countries in emerging markets such as Europe and more native languages, there are usually more options in the menu language options, for example, as many as dozens of options. In order to shorten the search time for users, this application can further divide the countries according to their geographical locations. For example, divide the countries of the world into multiple regions, and different regions correspond to different language lists. Take emerging markets as an example. The method can be as shown in Table 1.

Table 1

Each region in Table 1 contains multiple countries, and different regions contain different countries, so different regions also correspond to multiple different languages. The region is usually set at the factory according to the sales situation, so the user does not need to select the region, and the display device will automatically display the country and language corresponding to the region according to the region set in the factory. Assuming that the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) in the above region is selected in the menu when leaving the factory, the menu language corresponding to this region is shown in Table 2.

Table 2

Since the above menu language list already covers almost all languages of each country in a region, as long as the follow-up other language lists are consistent with the above menu language list, they can cover the languages spoken in various places, so that they can be applied to the region. Users in various countries.

Through the above division of regions, some languages corresponding to the user's region can be displayed in a targeted manner when displaying the language list for the user, instead of all languages, thereby reducing the user's search process and improving the efficiency of the user's language selection.

The country setting interface is shown in Figure 2B. This interface is one of the initial setting interfaces after the device is turned on. This interface is used to set the country. The interface displays multiple country options, such as Country 1, Country 2, Country 3, Country 4, etc. Each Country represents a country, such as China, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The user can select the country through the remote control, and the selected country (such as China) is used as the user's country setting.

The order of the above country setting and menu language setting is in no particular order.

After the above-mentioned series of initial setting operations including menu language and country setting are completed, the initial setting information can be further saved in the non-volatile memory of the display device, which can be based on the use of the display device. The user’s initial setting information is configured for corresponding playback.

In some embodiments, a display device is provided that can automatically keep the menu language configured for the display device in the initial settings consistent with the playback language during program playback, so as to meet user expectations and avoid unnecessary manual switching.

Specifically, some components in the display device can also perform the following operations:

The tuner demodulator is used to receive and decode the broadcast program carried by the digital broadcast signal. The broadcast program carries one channel of video data and multiple channels of audio data in different languages.

A controller coupled to the tuner and demodulator, the controller including:

The initial setting module is used to maintain initial setting information including language setting, and the language setting includes a designated menu language. The initial setting module can create initial setting information such as menu language, country, etc. based on the setting process shown in Figs. 2A and 2B, and store the initial setting information.

The menu control module is used to select the menu language specified by the language setting from multiple languages according to the language setting to control the display of the menu. The menu control module can control the language of the display menu based on the menu language set by the initial setting module. For example, when the menu language is simplified Chinese, the menu control module will select simplified Chinese to display the menu.

The language association module is used to determine the same language as the selected menu language indicated in the initial setting information and used by the menu control module as the broadcasting language of the broadcast program.

The broadcasting language of the broadcasting program includes the broadcasting language of the audio data corresponding to the broadcasting program and the display language of the subtitle data.

In an example, the controller further includes a program language extraction module, which can be used to extract the playback language determined by the language association module from multiple channels of audio data in different languages carried by the broadcast program when the broadcast program is being played. One channel of audio data corresponding to the same language is used to play the broadcast program.

It can be seen from this embodiment that the display device binds the initially set menu language with the program’s playing language. When playing a broadcast program, the audio data corresponding to the broadcast program uses the same audio data as the menu language. For playback, since the menu language is usually selected by the user based on the native language, the menu language is often the playback language most desired by the user. Therefore, it is not only possible to quickly select the language desired by the user to play the program, but also to avoid unnecessary manual switching of the user in each channel.

In some embodiments, a display device is provided that can automatically associate the menu language configured by the display device in the initial setting with the preferred language set by the user to indicate that the program playback language is determined, so that the program playback The playback language is played based on the preferred language.

Specifically, some components in the display device can also perform the following operations:

The tuner demodulator is used to receive and decode the broadcast program carried by the digital broadcast signal. The broadcast program carries one channel of video data and multiple channels of audio data in different languages.

A controller coupled to the tuner and demodulator, the controller including:

The initial setting module is used to maintain initial setting information including language setting, and the language setting includes a designated menu language.

The menu control module is used to select the menu language specified by the language setting from multiple languages according to the language setting to control the display of the menu.

The program language setting module is configured to select and maintain program setting information of a preferred language for playing broadcast programs; the preferred language is automatically determined when the menu language is determined, so as to determine the broadcast based on the program setting information The language of the program.

In an example, the controller further includes:

The program language determination module is configured to determine the broadcast program's playing language in the same language as the preferred language indicated in the program setting information.

Since users usually choose their desired language (such as native language) as the menu language, their expected playback language should also be the same as the menu language. Therefore, the program language setting module of this embodiment can combine the menu language set by the user with the instruction program The preferred language when the playing language is determined is associated, so that when a broadcast program is played, a playing language that is consistent with the preferred language when the program playing language is determined can be selected for playing, so as to meet user expectations.

The preferred language includes a first preferred language and a second preferred language; the first preferred language is configured to be the same as the selected menu language, and the second preferred language is configured to be a language other than the selected menu language.

Based on the development of network technology, users can often watch video resources from multiple countries. Due to the different languages of video resources in different countries, the audio data language corresponding to the broadcast program watched by the user may not include the menu language (also Is the first preferred language). Therefore, the display device usually presets a second preferred language with strong versatility at the factory. Since English is more common in Europe and other countries, the second preferred language can be English by default. For example, when the user sets the menu language to "Simplified Chinese", the first preferred language of the broadcast program is also linked to "Simplified Chinese", and the second preferred language is "English".

For example, when a broadcast program is played in a live broadcast application, the display based on user input is used to indicate the input of the broadcast program playback control menu, such as pressing the menu button on the remote control, as shown in Figure 3A, displaying the above-mentioned program language settings. Set interface. The program language setting interface can be displayed on the side of the current playback interface, where the interface can include but is not limited to: preferred audio track, alternative audio track, preferred subtitle, alternative subtitle, digital teletext language, decoding language Wait.

The preferred audio track and the preferred subtitles in this embodiment may both correspond to the first preferred language, or may be set separately; the candidate audio tracks and the candidate subtitles all correspond to the second preferred language, or may be set separately. Assuming that the menu language set by the user is German, the first preferred language is the same as the menu language, that is, German, and the default second preferred language is English. The preferred audio track and preferred subtitles shown in Figure 3A are displayed in German. Both the selected audio track and the alternative subtitles are displayed in English.

When the user selects the language option (such as the preferred audio track) that needs to be adjusted through the remote control selector, he can enter the corresponding language setting interface. The language setting interface is exemplarily shown in Figure 3B, where the program language setting interface is displayed as a language list of preferred audio tracks, including multiple languages corresponding to the user's region, such as English and French. , Spanish (Spanish), Portuguese (Portuguese), Arabic (Arabic), Russian (Russian), simplified Chinese (Simplified Chinese), etc. The user can control the selector through the remote control to select the desired language as the language of the preferred audio track. For example, if the user selects English as the first language corresponding to the preferred audio track, the subsequent preferred audio track (ie, the first preferred language) will be changed from German. For English.

In the same way, the preferred subtitles, alternative audio tracks and alternative subtitles can all be used to switch language settings in the above manner. The program language setting module allows users to select the first preferred language and the second preferred language according to their own expectations, making the setting of the preferred language more flexible and more in line with user expectations.

In some embodiments, yet another display device is provided, which can set a preferred language indicating that the program playing language is determined and automatically use the preferred language as the playing language of the broadcast program.

Specifically, some components in the display device can also perform the following operations:

The monitor is used to display the playback screen.

At least one speaker for playing sound.

The tuner demodulator is used to receive and decode the broadcast program carried by the digital broadcast signal. The broadcast program carries one channel of video data and multiple channels of audio data in different languages.

A controller coupled to the tuner and demodulator, the controller including:

The program language setting module is used to select and maintain the program setting information of the preferred language for playing broadcast programs. The preferred language setting process can refer to Figure 3A and Figure 3B. The difference from the second embodiment is that the first preferred language can be any preferred language set by the user instead of the menu language set by the user by default. .

The program language extraction module is used for automatically extracting one channel of audio data corresponding to the same language as the preferred language indicated in the program setting information from the multiple channels of audio data in different languages of the broadcast program, and playing all the audio data. Description of radio programs.

In this embodiment, the preferred languages include a first preferred language and a second preferred language, and the priority of the first preferred language is higher than the priority of the second preferred language. Therefore, when the program language extraction module extracts a channel of audio data corresponding to the same language as the preferred language indicated in the program setting information, the specific process is: when multiple channels of audio data in different languages of the broadcast program are When the first preferred language is included, extract one channel of audio data corresponding to the same language as the first preferred language; when the multiple channels of audio data in different languages of the broadcast program do not include the first preferred language but When the second preferred language is included, one channel of audio data corresponding to the same language as the second preferred language is extracted.

When the program language determining module determines that the first preferred language (for example, the user's native language) is not included in the multiple language languages corresponding to the audio data of the broadcast program, it may further determine whether the language list includes a preset The second language, so that the second language is used as the first playback language to play the audio content of the first video.

In this embodiment, since the user can independently set the first preferred language and the second preferred language, regardless of whether the first preferred language or the second preferred language is played, the user's expectations can be met and the user's viewing experience can be ensured.

In one embodiment, when the language corresponding to the audio data of the broadcast program does not include the above-mentioned preferred language, the audio data corresponding to the first language in the multi-language audio data of the current broadcast program can be played by default. The audio data corresponding to the first language is the audio data with the highest priority, and the priority sorting can be sorted according to the PID number of the code stream.

Suppose that the audio data of a broadcast program can be sorted into {lan1, lan2, lan3,..., lann} according to the PID number in the code stream. If the first preferred language set by the user is lan1, the second preferred language is lan2, and the first The preferred language can be the menu language or other languages set by the user. The selection process of the broadcasting language of the broadcast program is shown in Figure 4, which includes steps 401-406:

Step 401: The first preferred language set by the user is lan1, and the second preferred language is set as lan2;

Step 402: When broadcasting a broadcast program, judge whether the first preferred language lan1 is included in the language list of the broadcast program, if yes, go to step 403, if not, go to step 404;

Step 403: The broadcast program plays audio data in the first preferred language lan1;

Step 404: Determine whether the second preferred language lan2 is included in the language list of the broadcast program, if yes, go to step 405, and if not, go to step 406;

Step 405: The broadcast program plays audio data in the second preferred language lan2;

Step 406: The broadcast program plays the audio data of the first ranked language.

At this time, if the user changes the first preferred language to lanm, and lanm is not in the {lan1, lan2, lan3,..., lann} list, then the broadcast program will play the second preferred language lan2 by default; after that, the user modifies the second preferred language to lani, and lani is not in the {lan1, lan2, lan3,..., lann} list, then the broadcast program will play lan1 by default in the order of PID. This rule takes effect in the following situations: cutting the station, unplugging the signal line, cutting the channel, switching on and off, etc.

For example, suppose that the subtitle languages (such as eng, msa, zho, tam) corresponding to the current broadcast program TV1_SD are sorted according to their PID, and the subtitle language list is eng(PID:0x64), msa(PID:0x65), zho(PID: 0x66), tam (PID:0x67). If the first preferred language is msa, the program TV1_SD can play msa by default; if the first preferred language is not in the list, but the second preferred language tam is in the list, then the program TV1_SD can play tam by default; if If the first preferred language and the second preferred language are not in the {eng, msa, zho, tam} list, then the program TV1_SD defaults to playing eng with the highest priority (the PID ranking first). If the user does not want to watch the subtitles corresponding to eng, they can also temporarily select one of the msa, zho, and tam channels in the list to play. The settings of the first preferred language and the second preferred language are always valid when the channel is cut, the signal line is plugged in, the channel is cut, and the machine is switched on and off. The temporarily selected language is only valid for the current channel, and it will be effective after the channel is cut or shut down. invalid.

In some embodiments, since the digital TV standard in countries such as Europe uses the DVB standard, in order to reduce development costs, these countries usually use the same TV software. There are many countries and languages in Europe. Even if it is the same program, there may be multiple languages in the corresponding audio data. For example, the corresponding languages of digital TV programs in Germany may include German, English, or even Dutch. In the existing playback process, the user needs to reset the playback language every time the user switches channels, which will cause unnecessary setting operations for the user, resulting in poor user operating experience.

In view of the situation that this kind of program contains more broadcasting languages, the program language selection method provided below in this application can be set by setting the globally effective desired language, so that the display device can be operated no matter which channel is switched to, or the operation of turning on and off the machine. The desired language of the current channel is matched first, so that the user does not need to reset the playback language every time the user switches channels, reducing the user's setting process.

Because in the same area, the language lists contained in the programs of each channel are almost the same, and the user's setting of part of the language of a channel is likely to be expected in other channels. Therefore, by setting a desired language, you can record the user's desired playback language set by the user. Whenever the channel is cut, turned on and off, etc., if the "desired language" is included in the language list of the new channel, the corresponding language will be played first. . Therefore, the present application can obtain the desired language set by the user when the program is played, and use the desired language as the primary basis for subsequent language selection, thereby avoiding unnecessary setting operations by the user and improving the user's viewing experience.

In some embodiments, a display device is provided that can set a desired language for instructing programs to be played based on user input, and automatically use the desired language as the playback language of broadcast programs after switching channels, which can prevent users from switching channels. Reset the program broadcast language.

Specifically, some components in the display device can also perform the following operations:

The monitor is used to display the playback screen.

At least one speaker for playing sound.

The tuner demodulator is used to receive and decode the broadcast program carried by the digital broadcast signal. The broadcast program carries one channel of video data and multiple channels of audio data in different languages.

A controller coupled to the tuner and demodulator, the controller including:

The desired language setting module is used to select and maintain the desired language corresponding to the desired language in response to the desired language setting instruction input by the user when playing the first broadcast program using audio or subtitle data in one language in the audio data of the first broadcast program Program setting information. Here, the audio or subtitle data of any language carried by the first broadcast program may be used when the first broadcast program is played, such as the preferred language when the program playing language is determined by the user, which is consistent with the menu language or set by the user.

The language selection module is configured to respond to a user input for switching from a first broadcast program to a second broadcast program, and select the same language as the desired language as the playback language of the second broadcast program. The playback language includes the playback language of the audio data corresponding to the broadcast program and the display language of the subtitle data.

For example, FIGS. 5A to 5F exemplarily show the setting process of the desired language.

When broadcasting a broadcasting program in a live application program, for example, broadcasting a broadcasting program in the same language as the above-mentioned preferred language, a display based on user input is used to instruct the input of a broadcasting program playback control menu, such as pressing the menu button on the remote control, as shown in the figure As shown in 5A, the playback control menu interface is displayed. Including a variety of setting options, such as picture (Picture), sound (Sound), channel (Channels), parental control (Parental Control), teletext (Teletext), subtitle (Subtitle), EPG (electrical program guide, electronic program) Guide), Audio Language (Audio Language) and other options. This embodiment only focuses on the settings of subtitles and audio languages, and other setting items are not the focus of improvement in this application, and will not be described in detail here.

The audio language and subtitle language of the current broadcast program are usually the same as the preferred language by default (for example, the preferred language is automatically determined when the menu language is determined, or set by the user). As shown in Figure 5A, the subtitle language is Dutch and the audio language is Dutch. The user can modify the broadcast language of the broadcast program by setting the desired language in the playback control menu interface.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the user moves the focus to the subtitle column, the user can click the confirmation button of the remote control to control the display device to enter the desired language setting interface of the subtitle language.

The desired language setting interface of the subtitle language is shown in Figure 5C, where a list of languages is displayed, including the desired language off option (Off), and multiple languages that can be selected, such as German (German), Dutch (Dutch), and English ( English); The user can choose the language he wants, such as German (German), and return to the playback control menu interface after confirming.

As shown in Figure 5D, the subtitle language in the menu interface is now displayed as the desired language (German) set by the user, while the audio language is still the previous (Dutch); then the user can move the focus to the Audio Language (Audio Language) column. , And then click the confirm button on the remote control to control the desired language setting interface for the audio language of the display device.

The desired language setting interface of the audio language is shown in Figure 5E, where a list of languages is displayed, including the desired language off option (Off), and multiple languages that can be selected, such as German (German), Dutch (Dutch), and English ( English); The user can choose the language he wants, such as German (German), and return to the playback control menu interface after confirming.

It should be noted that the multiple languages that can be selected in the desired language setting interface of the subtitle language and the desired language setting interface of the audio language are all audio data and subtitle data in different languages carried by the current broadcast program. For example, if the first broadcast program carries audio data in German and Dutch, the desired language setting interface for subtitles or audio languages will display German and Dutch options; the second broadcast program carries audio data in English and Dutch, then subtitles or audio English and Dutch options are displayed in the desired language setting interface of the language.

As shown in FIG. 5F, at this time, the subtitle language in the playback control menu interface is displayed as the desired language (German) set by the user, and the audio language is also the desired language (German) set by the user.

In an example, when the user wants to turn off the desired language setting, he can select the Off option in the desired language setting interface, and then the function can be turned off, thereby continuing to use the preferred language as the broadcasting language of the broadcast program.

In an example, the language selection module is further configured to select the preferred language when it is determined that the audio/subtitle data of the second broadcast program does not contain audio/subtitle data corresponding to the same language as the desired language. The language with the same language is used as the broadcast language of the second broadcast program.

In an example, the preferred language includes a first preferred language and a second preferred language, and the priority of the first preferred language is higher than the priority of the second preferred language.

In an example, the language selection module selects the same language as the preferred language as the playing language of the second broadcast program, which specifically includes: when the audio data of the second broadcast program includes the first preferred language When corresponding audio data, the same language as the first preferred language is selected as the playback language of the second broadcast program; when the audio data of the second broadcast program does not include the audio corresponding to the first preferred language Data, but when the audio data corresponding to the second preferred language is included, the same language as the second preferred language is selected as the playing language of the second broadcast program.

Since the audio data corresponding to the multiple languages of a broadcast program can generally be played according to priority, when the user selects the broadcast language of the broadcast program through the desired language and the preferred language, the priority of the audio data in different languages will also be sorted. Make changes.

Specifically, when the language selection module selects the same language as the desired language as the playback language of the second broadcast program, the audio data of the second broadcast program may be selected from the audio data corresponding to the desired language. The priority of the audio data is changed to the highest priority to control the display and the speaker to play the second broadcast program based on the audio data of the highest priority.

In some embodiments, another display device is provided, which can set the desired language for instructing the program to be played based on user input, and automatically use the desired language as the playback language of the first broadcast program after the power is turned on after the power is turned off and on again. Avoid resetting the language after the user powers on.

Specifically, some components in the display device can also perform the following operations:

The monitor is used to display the playback screen.

At least one speaker for playing sound.

Tuner demodulator, used to receive and decode broadcast programs carried by digital broadcast signals.

A controller coupled to the tuner and demodulator, the controller including:

The desired language setting module is used to select and maintain the program corresponding to the desired language in response to the desired language setting instruction input by the user when the audio or subtitle data of the language is used in the audio data of the first broadcast program to play the first broadcast program Setting information. Here, the audio or subtitle data of any language carried by the first broadcast program may be used when the first broadcast program is played, such as the preferred language when the program playing language is determined by the user, which is consistent with the menu language or set by the user.

The language selection module is configured to respond to the display device power-on instruction triggered by the user after the display device is turned off, and select the language that is the same as the desired language as the playback language of the first broadcast program after power-on. Among them, the display device may directly display the broadcast program after booting, or may enter the navigation home page interface after booting, and then enter the broadcast program after being triggered by the user. In either case, when the user turns on the first broadcast program and All subsequent broadcast programs select the same language as the desired language as the broadcast language of the broadcast program.

In an example, the desired language setting module is also used to store the desired language in a designated space of the non-volatile memory of the display device; the language selection module is also used to store the desired language after the display device is shut down. In response to a display device power-on instruction triggered by a user, the desired language is acquired from a designated space of the non-volatile memory.

Since the non-volatile memory will not clear the contents of the memory after the power is turned off, it can be ensured that the relevant information of the desired language will continue to be retained after the power is turned off and on, so as to be the basis for selecting the language for the first broadcast program after the power is turned on.

Since the audio data corresponding to the multiple languages of a broadcast program can generally be played according to priority, when the user selects the broadcast language of the broadcast program through the desired language and preferred language, the priority of the audio data in different languages will also be sorted Change. Specifically, when the language selection module selects the same language as the desired language as the playback language of the first broadcast program after power-on, the audio data corresponding to the desired language may be selected from the audio data of the first broadcast program. The priority of the data is changed to the highest priority to control the display and the speaker to play the first broadcast program based on the highest priority audio data.

In an example, the controller may prioritize the audio data according to the PID number of the stream of the audio data of the broadcast program. The language list of the current broadcast program is sorted by the PID number in the code stream as {lan1, lan2, lan3,..., lann}, if the first preferred language set by the user is lan1, the second preferred language is lan2, and the desired language is not set, The specific program language selection process is shown in Figure 6, which includes steps 601-605:

Step 601: Use a specified strategy to select the first preferred language lan1 as the playback language of the first broadcast program;

Step 602: When using the audio data corresponding to the first preferred language lan1 to play the first broadcast program, set the desired language lan3;

Step 603: When switching to the second broadcast program or powering on after shutting down and entering the second broadcast program, judge whether the desired language lan3 is included in the language list of the second broadcast program, if yes, go to step 604, if not, Then go to step 605;

Step 604: The second broadcast program plays audio data in the desired language lan3;

Step 605: The second broadcast program is played based on the preferred language and a language that matches the specified strategy is selected.

For the specific selection process of the designated strategy mentioned in the foregoing step 605, reference may be made to the processing flow shown in FIG. 4, which will not be repeated here.

At this time, if the user changes the desired language to lanj, because the desired language lanj is not in the {lan1, lan2, lan3,..., lann} list, then the broadcast program is played in a preferred language that matches the specified strategy, such as the first preferred language lan 1; If the user modifies the first preferred language to lanm again, since the desired language lanj and the first preferred language lanm are not in the {lan1, lan2, lan3,..., lann} list, then the broadcast program plays the second preferred language that matches the specified strategy lan2; After that, the user changes the second preferred language to lani, and lani is not in the {lan1, lan2, lan3,..., lann} list, then the broadcast program is the first language lan1 in the default play order according to the PID order. This rule takes effect in the following situations: cutting the station, unplugging the signal line, cutting the channel, switching on and off, etc.

For example, suppose that the subtitle languages (such as eng, msa, zho, tam) corresponding to the current first broadcast program are sorted according to their PID, and the subtitle language list is eng(PID:0x64), msa(PID:0x65), zho(PID :0x66), tam (PID:0x67). If the first preferred language is msa, msa can be selected as the language for the first broadcast program; if the user sets the desired language as zho when the first broadcast program is being played, then if the first broadcast program continues to be played or the broadcast is switched to channel If the desired language zho is in the language list, the default playing language is the desired language zho. If the desired language is not in the list, you can continue to match the first preferred language or the second preferred language according to the specified strategy. If the first preferred language and the second preferred language are not in the {eng, msa, zho, tam} list, Then the second broadcast program plays the language eng with the highest priority (first in PID order). The settings of the desired language, the first preferred language, and the second preferred language are always valid when the station is cut, the signal line is plugged in, the channel is cut, and the machine is switched on and off.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the display device can obtain the desired language set by the user through the desired language setting module, and when switching channels or turning off and on to enter other broadcast programs, the desired language can be matched first as the playing language, thereby avoiding the need for users The language setting operation after the second channel change or switch machine improves the user experience.

For a specific embodiment of the method for selecting a playback language on the display device, reference may be made to the embodiment of the processing of each module in the display device, which will not be repeated here.

For the convenience of explanation, the above description has been made in conjunction with specific embodiments. However, the above exemplary discussion is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the implementation to the specific form disclosed above. According to the above teaching, various modifications and variations can be obtained. The selection and description of the foregoing embodiments are for better explaining the principles and practical applications, so that those skilled in the art can better use the embodiments and various modified embodiments suitable for specific use considerations.
