Description

Channel-changing method in the digital cable set-top box
[technical field]
The invention relates to the digital cable broadcasting receiver, particularly based on the channel-changing method in the top box of digital machine (Open Cable Set Top Box) of opening cable.
[background technology]
Our country to be opening cable mode as domestic digital cable broadcast standard, and what above-mentioned open cable mode was used is, with the Doby-AC3 of audio compression mode and the MPEG-2 of video mode.In addition, for the broadcasted content of high added value,, begin just to separate from digital cable set-top box in order to prevent pirate and to disturb and collocation point (Point Of Deployment the is called for short POD) module of employing; In addition, security system provides easy to operate function, and equipment also has retail simultaneously, so the digital cable broadcasting receiver also has advantages of being cheap.That is comprising of, existing in the cable set-top box limits receiving system (Conditional Access; Abbreviation CA) POD module begins to separate from set-top box; Standard interface (I/F) between definition set-top box and the POD module, if meet POD I/F, anyone can the maker top box.So the consumer can directly buy above-mentioned set-top box, cable system operators (system operator as buying VCR; SO) if provide user POD module to the user, the user uses above-mentioned POD module and cable set-top box, can receive various cablecasts.
In addition, above-mentioned open cable mode is served for two-way (upwards, downwards) is provided, and uses necessary upper limit bandwidth 5-42MHz, and the channel width amplitude of (In Band) lower limit is and national channel environment facies 6MHz together in the band.In addition, channel and broadcast program recommended information use outer (the Out Of Band of band; Be called for short OOB, promptly frequency band is outer) the program customizing messages (Program Specific Information, abbreviation PSI) of (with the band signal transmission) in system information (System Information is called for short SI) and the band.
Fig. 1 represents, the formation schematic diagram of the digital cable set-top box of general open cable mode.Mainly contain with lower device and form cable set-top box 100 and the POD module 200 of separating.
Above-mentioned cable set-top box device 100 is connected with the cable top device of a kind of broadcasting office of the program of watching digital cable to use, by the interior band in the cable channel bandwidth, receives the A/V broadcast program; By in addition, use the top device to carry out two-way communication.
That is, by the A/V broadcast program of top device, through tuner 111 and demodulating equipment 112 adjust with demodulation after, use 200 outputs of POD modular device.
In addition, by OOB, the channel transmitted adjustment with introduce identical data message with program, put 113 by OOB biography/tipping, use the output of POD module.
The decoding of the broadcast singal that above-mentioned POD modular device 200 receives uses PCMCIA form card separate users to confirm operations such as operation.
So the CA system uses multipleization of conveyer belt (TP) processing unit 116 outputs of TV-set top box 100 under the situation that the signal after the above-mentioned demodulation is decoded in above-mentioned POD modular device 200.
Above-mentioned multipleization processing unit 116 through being separated into video and packets of audio data after the multipleization processing, uses each Video Decoder 117 and audio decoder 118, and 119 outputs of PSE resolver.Above-mentioned Video Decoder 117 is controlled house-keeping (various header information, startup sign indicating number etc.) in video packets of data, pure data message is carried out length-changeable decoding (Variable Length Decoding; Be called for short VLD) after through the quantization process, discrete cosine changes (IDCT) to be handled, again through utilizing the compensation process of operating vector, use the pixel value of original picture to restore after, export by monitor again.In addition, audio decoder 118 utilizes the AC-3 algorithm, and loud speaker output is used in packets of audio data decoding back.
In addition, utilize the set-top box of existing ground ripple or satellite, if energized at first scans behind all channels that can adjust and storage.After, if user's selective channel reads the scanning information of storage and adjusts to relevant channel.
With above-mentioned opposite, there is not channel scanning function (Channel ScanFunction) in the open cable set-top box.If user's selective channel behind the power connection, by system information (SystemInformation is called for short SI) the pseudo channel table (Virtual Channel Table is called for short VCT) that enters is carried out real time parsing, obtain the information of correlated channels, begin to adjust channel from this channel information.State in the use under the situation of VCT cable set-top box, be known as succinct form pseudo channel table (Short-form VCT is called for short SVCT), under the situation of distinguishing the ground ripple, also be known as SVCT.
That is,, can receive the most basic broadcasting, the program recommended information of channel information and each channel can be provided for the user in order to use the user even in the middle digital cable broadcasting.
Wherein PSI comprises the information of A/V (audio/video) picture that can show particular channel, transmits with broadcast program by in being with.That is, PSI is included in the information flow after the processing of multipleization of digital cable set-top box, and information specific stream is carried out multipleization processing, the information that can decode to the information after handling.In addition, SI comprises the information that can adjust channel, transmits by OOB.
At this moment, above-mentioned PSI comprises program association table (Program Association Table is called for short PAT) and program map table (Program Map Table is called for short PMT), comprises SVCT among the above-mentioned SI.
Above-mentioned PAT selects the PID of the conveyer belt packet that transmits PMT to recording and narrating the program inscape in each program designation.Above-mentioned PMT records and narrates, the pid information that conveyer belt packet pid information that the audio frequency of program identification designation and formation program, indivedual bits of video transmit and PCR transmit.
Above-mentioned SVCT defines a form in SI, as shown in Figure 2, represent the new chart organigram of SVCT bit stream that general cable uses.
As shown in Figure 2, extract the channel designation of one of them channel in a plurality of channels of pseudo channel number (Virtual_channel_number) in physical channel, CDS with reference to (CDS_reference) be above-mentioned channel designation physical channel preset channel.That is, a plurality of channels of physical channel stored, a channel has only a corresponding broadcast program.For example:, have 5 broadcast programs in the above-mentioned physical channel if there are 5 channels in the physical channel.
Program number (program_number) is represented the program designation for the channel that connects MPEG-2PAT and PMT definition, and is consistent with the program designation in the above-mentioned PAT/PMT.
MMS is a modulation intelligence with reference to (MMS_reference).That is the load mode of the broadcast program corresponding, with above-mentioned channel.Describe for example below, if under the situation of open cable mode in band, make 64QAM (Quadurature Ampl itude Modulat ion) or 256QAM mode; If under the situation of OOB, then use the QPSK transmission means.
Therefore, if resolve SVCT, can know information such as number of physical channels, the channel frequency that conforms to above-mentioned physical channel, modulator approach.
As previously mentioned, even above-mentioned physical channel is very little more than one channel arranged also.For example: 5 channels are arranged in the physical channel, 20 channels are arranged in another physical channel.The number of channel that exists in each physical channel, each physical channel is all inequality.
The user utilizes the numerical key of remote controller, selects particular channel or also can use/following key translated channel, presets channel at every turn when channel switch taking place and also can follow conversion thereupon.According to channel switch, though channel variation physical channel may follow conversion and also might not have conversion.For example: be known as and have 101,102,103 channel in 10 the physical channel, if user's this moment selects to want to select 103 program behind 101 the program, though the program of channel from 101 is transformed into 103, physical channel 10 can not change.But, when the program of receive channel 101, think the program of selective reception 106, physical channel has been transformed into 20 from 10.
In the past, if physical channel is also changed during channel switch, the channel after existing all to resolve in the physical channel after the conversion constitutes the information of utilizing above-mentioned channel chart behind the channel chart, adjusts correlated channels.In addition, during conversion,, adjust correlated channels if not conversion of channel for above-mentioned physical channel, because the information of channel chart forms, utilizes the information of the existing channel chart of not resolving.
As mentioned above, when former channel is changed,, must confirm at first whether physical channel is changed in order to adjust the channel after the conversion.
Fig. 4 represents that according to the embodiment schematic flow sheet of channel-changing method of the present invention, this conversion method comprises following component part and step altogether.The user needs the specific program of audiovisual, if the process of translated channel is 401 steps; Channel switch engine process is 115 steps; According to channel switch, judge that the process whether physical channel is changed is 402 steps.
If judged result has been the physical channel conversion, control SI resolver 114, resolve the SVCT of all channels that exist in the above-mentioned physical channel, constituting the process of storing behind the channel chart-information is 403 steps.Above-mentioned SVCT represents, in the form that defines in the SI by above-mentioned OOB and the input of POD module one.
At this moment, the actual video/audio frequency/PCR PID in the channel is not in SI, so the channel information that the engine 115 of above-mentioned channel conversion extracts from SVCT again uses 119 outputs of PSI resolver.PSI resolver 119 is resolved and each PAT that is present in all channel matched in the related physical channel and the interior PMT of institute that defines of above-mentioned PAT based on above-mentioned channel information, uses transform engine 115 outputs.In above-mentioned channel conversion engine 115, information after resolving among the above-mentioned PAT/PMT with store in the channel chart-information after, based on the channel chart-information after the storage, control tuner 111 and multipleization processing unit 116, the process of adjusting the A/V/PCR PID of the channel that the user selects and carry out multipleization processing in 401 steps is 404 steps.
In addition, in above-mentioned 402 steps, if not conversion of physical channel when judged result is channel switch, the channel chart-information of above-mentioned physical channel has constituted in channel conversion engine 115 and storage.So deposit channel chart-information based on what not do not resolve this moment, control tuner 111 and multipleization processing unit 116, the A/V/PCR PID of the channel that the adjustment user selects in 401 steps and the process of carrying out multipleization processing are 405 steps.
