Below, referring to figs. 1 through Fig. 3, example of the present invention is described in more detail.
Fig. 1 is in the present invention, the structured flowchart of television receiver.
As shown in Figure 1, television receiver 100 is made of following part, that is: antenna 10, tuning 12, sound equipment separates portion 14, acoustic signal detecting element 16 with picture signal, acoustic signal handling part 18, picture signal detecting element 20, speaker's position testeding outleting part 22, volume adjusting portion 24, microcomputer 26, operating portion 28, a plurality of loud speaker 30-1,30-2,30-N, picture signal handling part 32, display part 34.
Antenna 10 receives the broadcast singal that broadcasts from TV station.In the regulation interval of broadcast singal, contain the speaker's that on picture, will show positional information.For example, in common analog broadcast signal, (Vertical Blanking Interval VBI), can insert information such as broadcasting frequency, broadcasting channel, therefore can insert speaker's positional information in VBI at the black-out intervals of vertical flyback.
In addition, become popular digital broadcasting recently, if will obtain commercialization, so in digital broadcast signal, can add more diversified information and transmit, so speaker's positional information will more easily be included in the regulation interval of digital broadcast signal and go.
Tuning 12, will from the broadcast singal that antenna 10 receives, carry out channel selection, amplified, then this signal transformation is become the intermediate-freuqncy signal of sound equipment and image.
Sound equipment separates portion 14 with picture signal, the intermediate-freuqncy signal by tuning 12 output is separated into sound equipment intermediate-freuqncy signal and image intermediate frequency signal.
Acoustic signal detecting element 16 will separate with picture signal the sound equipment intermediate-freuqncy signal of portion's 14 outputs from sound equipment, detect acoustic signal; Acoustic signal handling part 18 the acoustic signal that detects, is transformed into one and is suitable for to a plurality of loud speaker 30-1,30-2, the signal of 30-N output.
Picture signal detecting element 20 will separate with picture signal the image intermediate frequency signal of portion's 14 outputs from sound equipment, detect picture signal.
Speaker's position testeding outleting part 22 will detect the speaker's that will export positional information in image frame from the picture signal of picture signal detecting element 20 outputs.For example, from picture signal, be inserted among the VBI speaker's assigned position information with reading and detecting.
Volume adjusting portion 24 receive the acoustic signal export respectively from acoustic signal handling part 18 and speaker's position testeding outleting part 22 and speaker's positional information, and adjusting is from a plurality of loud speaker 30-1, the volume that 30-2,30-N export.
For example, when output is positioned at speaker's the sound of picture left, only to the loud speaker output sound of left; And will be adjusted to a not state of output sound to right-hand loud speaker.Also having a kind of method is also can will output to the volume of left loud speaker, and it is big to be adjusted to the volume than right-hand loud speaker output.
Microcomputer 26, according to the command signal of looking the hearer by operating portion 28 inputs, the course of work of each structural element of control television receiver; Import a requirement and select the command signal of volume control model according to speaker's position if look the hearer, system controlled by computer volume adjusting portion 24 is regulated the volume that outputs to each loud speaker according to the position of speaker on the picture so.
Picture signal handling part 32 receives the picture signal by 20 outputs of picture signal detecting element, and it is transformed into is suitable for the signal that shows in display part 34.
Display part 34 will be shown to picture to the picture signal that receives from picture signal handling part 32.
Fig. 2 is in example of the present invention, and the speaker is at an example that is positioned on the picture on each diverse location.
As shown in Figure 2, the symbol 30-a on the figure is the loud speaker of the left of image display; Symbol 30-b on the figure is right-hand loud speaker.A plurality of loud speaker 30-1 as shown in Figure 1,30-2,30-N can be divided into above-mentioned left loud speaker 30-a and right-hand loud speaker 30-b.
Symbol 110 on the figure is pictures of a display image; Picture has been divided into three zones.That is, 1. the district is the left zone, and 2. the district is the central area, and 3. the district is right-hand zone.
Then, judging speaker's position, is should belong to which zone in three above-mentioned zones; Then, will be corresponding to the output volume of the loud speaker on the relevant position, adjusting must be greater than the output volume of other loud speaker.
Below, illustrate and in having the image display of said structure, control the concrete steps of the control method of volume according to the position of speaker on the picture.
Fig. 3 is in example of the present invention, controls the flow chart of the control method of volume according to the position of speaker on the picture.
As shown in Figure 3, at first to go to receive, from the broadcast singal (stage 10) of TV station's broadcast.Then, from the broadcast singal that receives, detect speaker's positional information (stage 12).As described in front, speaker's positional information be if analog broadcast signal so preferably will be included among the VBI, but is not limited to this execution mode.
Then, on the basis of the speaker's positional information that detects, judge whether the speaker is positioned at the center of picture (stage 14).If the talker is arranged in center (in stages 14 "Yes"), so, to all loud speakers, the sound (stage 16) identical of the left loud speaker 30-a in Fig. 2 for example with right-hand loud speaker 30-b output volume.
In addition, if the talker is not arranged in center (in stages 14 "No"), judge so whether the talker is positioned at the left zone of picture (stage 18).
If the talker is arranged in left zone (in stages 18 "Yes"), so only to left loud speaker 30-a output sound (stage 20).In contrast, if the talker is arranged in right-hand (in 18 "No" in stage), so only to right-hand loud speaker 30-b output sound (stage 22).Arrive this, finish all steps.
In Fig. 3, if the talker is positioned at the zone of left, so to left loud speaker output sound, and not to right-hand loud speaker output sound; But, both sides' loud speaker output sound all to the left and right, but to the volume of left loud speaker output, adjusting must be greater than the volume to right-hand output.
Equally, if the talker is positioned at right-hand zone, the volume adjusting that outputs to right-hand loud speaker so must be greater than the volume that outputs to the left loud speaker.
More than, be that the center is illustrated with example of the present invention; But,, under the situation that does not exceed thought of the present invention and scope, can make change if the insider can understand.That is to say that the present invention can change within the scope of the claims, therefore can not think and define by the example of stating.
