Embodiment
With embodiment the present invention is described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings below:
According to Fig. 1, system of the present invention comprise channel decoder (TUNER), business information processing unit, TDT/NIT (Time of Day form/network information form) information management unit and many network times administration module, flash memory (Flashmemory).Comprise in the above-mentioned many network times administration modules: automatic generating network TOT Time Offset Table module, self-defined network time the offset table module.
Channel decoder is with the packet (TS stream) of the program source signal demodulation output Polymera of the heterogeneous networks of reception, comprise video in the packet of Polymera, audio frequency and data message, from the data message of TS stream, isolate service data information by business information processing unit in the central processing unit (CPU), the service data information that is separated comprises that TDT (Time of Day form) and NIT (network information form) information cache are at the TDT/NIT of random asccess memory (RAM) (Time of Day form/network information form) information management unit, in many network times administration modules, automatic generating network TOT Time Offset Table module realizes unified management different network time according to TDT (Time of Day form) and NIT (network information form) information by working procedure automatic generating network TOT Time Offset Table, automatically generate network time offset table parameter information be stored in flash memory, the user by self-defined network time the offset table module carry out the self-defined baseline network that is provided with, the network time offset table information behind the User Defined also is stored in the flash memory.
In flash memory, set up " network time offset table " comes the all-network that recording user switched when cut bank time, the network that does not switch to, set-top box is the time that can not get access to this network.
Table 1
Annotate: the general network item is not have the current time field, only preserves skew
In network time offset table (table 1), it is "Yes" that " whether baseline network " field has only an item, and this is called " baseline network item ", and other this field is a "No" entirely, is called " general network item ", and can only there be a baseline network item in system.
The time of skew is to be unit with the second, and is in addition just record-shifted/negative, mainly is in order to represent longer time migration, and such design probably can represent to differ the skew about 146 years.
The baseline network item also writes down a present networks current time (being designated as the baseline network time) and a difference, being calculated as follows of difference: if the user was provided with the baseline network time, then the baseline network current time then is provided with the baseline network time later for the user, difference is recording user setting fiducial time and time of this network of sending of operator poor later then, if and is not set the baseline network time, then the baseline network current time is the network time that operator sends, and difference then is zero.
As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, basic procedure of the present invention comprises the steps:
Through channel decoder, business information processing unit, obtain TDT (Time of Day form) and NIT (network information form) information, from TDT/NIT (Time of Day form/network information form) information management unit, inquire program affiliated satellite ID, antenna ID, frequency and polarity, these constitute a network item and (are designated as: Net1), and (time in the TDT is designated as: Time1) current time of obtaining this program stream.
In flash memory, if the network time offset table of setting up is empty, no baseline network item is described, automatic generating network TOT Time Offset Table module then with this Net1 as the baseline network item, be provided with whether the baseline network field is a "Yes", skew is 0 second, and with the current time field that Time1 fills in the baseline network item, then this network item is joined the network time offset table.
If network time, offset table was not empty, need then to judge whether this network item Net1 is present in the network time offset table.
If be present in the network time offset table, need then to judge whether this network item Net1 is baseline network, if baseline network item, current time of upgrading the baseline network item then with this time Time1, if not the baseline network item, then the current time that deducts the baseline network item with this time Time1 calculates a difference, upgrades the skew of network item Net1 with this difference.
If there is no in the network time offset table, then newly-increased this network item Net1 is provided with its skew and deducts the baseline network item current time for Time1 to the network time offset table.
Preserve flash memory when whenever increasing a network item newly, during with the shutdown of assurance system exception, these still exist after restarting.
Normal shutdown is preserved network time and is shown flash memory.
Provide a unified time, i.e. the current time of baseline network item.
When set-top-box opening is play top line, network under this program may not be a baseline network, the stream time that get access to this moment is not the baseline network time just, must derive the time of the baseline network of this moment so at this moment according to the network time offset table of preserving in the flash memory, derivation formula is as follows:
CurrentStandardTime=CurrentProgramTime-Offset
CurrentStandardTime: baseline network current time
CurrentProgramTime: the current time of current program belonging network
Offset: the last time of preserving in the flash memory this network and baseline network skew
If the program belonging network that start is play is a baseline network, so just use CurrentProgramTime to upgrade the baseline network item current time, the skew of other network item is all constant.
After network time, offset table generated, in reservation system, play a part one each network time correctly is provided, when subscribing program, record in the subscription list is the unified baseline network time, no longer be the time of current playing program, subscribing simultaneously and detecting timer also is to determine that in the unified time of this standard of scanning of not stopping whether reservation is to the time of starting working.
Offset table generated idiographic flow and be divided into two parts many network times of the present invention: network time offset table flow process and upgrade network time offset table flow process during broadcast program is read in start.
As shown in Figure 3, it is specific as follows that network time offset table flow process is read in many network times of the present invention offset table start:
There is not baseline network in step 25, thinks that mistake appears in the network time offset table, need empty, and upgrades network time offset table flow process when forwarding step 26 then to and entering broadcast program;
As shown in Figure 4, to upgrade network time offset table flow process during the offset table broadcast program specific as follows many network times of the present invention
Step 211 is baseline networks, the current time of then using the current time Time1 get access to upgrade baseline network, turns back to step 27 afterwards;
Step 212 is not a baseline network, and then needing according to the baseline network current time is that the correctness sign judges whether the baseline network current time of this moment is correct, if correctly then forward step 215 to, the incorrect step 216 that then forwards to;
Step 214 is not empty, and necessarily exist the baseline network item this moment, then this network item Net1 joined the network time offset table as general network, is offset for this reason that network current time Time1 deducts the baseline network current time, forwards step 217 to.
Later on when getting access to a network time, all from step 27 at every turn.During shutdown, need preservation network time offset table at flash memory.
According to Fig. 4, the setting of User Defined baseline network is described in detail as follows:
Because system is provided with first network automatically under the situation of brand-new set-top-box opening be baseline network, so the function that allows User Defined that baseline network is set need be provided, the user can choose at random the baseline network of a network as oneself, and can carry out the change setting of time, also can not revise the baseline network item, and the current time of only revising baseline network.Illustrate separately with regard to both of these case below:
(1) user has changed baseline network
In such cases, general network is arranged to baseline network, and the skew of revising baseline network is 0, other network item then draws a new skew with respect to this new baseline network according to the skew of master reference network and the offset deviation of new baseline network.
Illustrate:
Network offset table originally is as follows:
Table 2
Satellite ID | Antenna ID | Frequency | Polarity | Current time | Baseline network whether | Time migration (second) | Skew just/negative |
1 | 1 | 45000 | V | 2006-08-04?00:00:00 | Be | 0 | Do not have |
2 | 2 | 46000 | H | 2006-08-04?05:00:00 | Not | 5*3600 | + |
3 | 3 | 47000 | V | 2006-08-04?03:00:00 | Not | 3*3600 | + |
Annotate: the general network item is not have the current time field, a preservation skew, and it is next clearer for representing to draw here, and can use this value in the following describes.If with No. 2 network item as new baseline network item, then No. 1 network has become general network from baseline network, No. 2 network has become baseline network by general network, if it is 2006-08-04 08:00:00 that the user is provided with the current time of No. 2 networks of new benchmark, this moment its current time of script is 2006-08-04 05:00:00, so No. 2 networks are being positive 3 hours (2006-08-04 08:00:00 deducts 2006-08-04 05:00:00) as the difference field behind the new baseline network.No. 2 new baseline network current time are time 2006-08-04 08:00:00 that the user establishes.
No. 1 network its current time before resetting baseline network is 2006-08-04 00:00:00, and it just is being-8 hours (seeing Table 3) as the skew behind the general network so, and promptly 2006-08-04 00:00:00 deducts 2006-08-04 08:00:00.
The current time of No. 3 networks this moments are 2006-08-04 03:00:00, so he is-5 hours (seeing Table 3) with respect to the new skew of new baseline network, promptly 2006-08-04 03:00:00 deducts 2006-08-04 08:00:00.
New network skew form is as follows:
Table 3
(2) user does not revise baseline network, and has just changed the current time of baseline network
In such cases, only need upgrade the current time field of baseline network item with the new time, simultaneously being deducted the original benchmark current time the new benchmark current time draws a difference, then the difference field of baseline network is added this difference of calculating come the baseline network difference that makes new advances, note it not being offset field, the offset field of baseline network always is 0, other network item all then deducts the new skew that this difference draws the present networks item with the skew of oneself, has so just guaranteed all existing network times and the synchronous of baseline network time newly is set.
Illustrate: if still with No. 1 network item (being made as network number) with satellite ID number as the baseline network item, but changed the current time, such as having made 2006-08-04 02:00:00 into
New network skew form should be as follows:
Table 4
Satellite ID | Antenna ID | Frequency | Polarity | Current time | Baseline network whether | Time migration (second) | Skew just/negative |
1 | 1 | 45000 | V | 2006-08-04?02:00:00 | Be | ?0 | Do not have |
2 | 2 | 46000 | H | ? | Not | ?(5-2)=3*3600 | + |
3 | 3 | 47000 | V | ? | Not | ?(3-2)=1*3600 | + |
Annotate: the difference field of baseline network then be (originally positive 2 hours+increase newly positive 2 hours=positive 4 hours)
As shown in Figure 5, it is specific as follows that User Defined of the present invention is provided with the baseline network time flow:
The skew of step 35, other general networks need be recomputated, and new skew equals original offset and deducts Offset, forwards step 39 to;
