Abstract

The invention relates to a technology of an embedded device. The invention solves the problem of automatically recording a TV series selected by a user by using a PVR set-top box and provides a TV series recording method of the PVR set-top box, the technical proposal can be summarized as follows: the TV series recording method of the PVR set-top box comprises: the user firstly inputs the name and the episode number of a TV series, then a background program of the set-top box obtains a current or a next program according to P/F information of various channels and judges whether the current or the next program of each channel is the TV series which is input by the user or not by analyzing PSI/SI/descriptor; if not, waiting is carried out, and if so, whether the episode number is input by the user or not is judged; if not, all the episodes of the TV series are recorded, and if so, whether the current or the next program is the episode number of the TV series designated by the user or not is judged; if not, waiting is carried out, and if so, the episode is recorded. The technology has the advantage that the technology facilitates the user and is applicable to the PVR set-top boxes.

Description

PVR set-top box serial method for recording

Technical field

The present invention relates to technique for embedded equipment, the technology of particularly embedded PVR software function module.

Background technology

The PVR digital TV set-top box has recording function, the user can be manually or automatically recording video program using, user can also suspend program, F.F., operation such as retreat, put slowly, indiscriminately ad. as one wishes watch TV programme, but the user may miss the live of certain cover TV play or can miss a few collection of certain cover TV play, will cause regretting of user like this.

Summary of the invention

Technical problem to be solved by this invention in order to reach the function of the TV play that PVR set-top box automatic recording user selectes, provides a kind of PVR set-top box serial method for recording exactly.

The present invention solves its technical problem, and the technical scheme of employing is that PVR set-top box serial method for recording is characterized in that, may further comprise the steps:

A. the user imports TV play set name and collection number;

B. the set-top box background program is obtained the program of current or next broadcast according to the P/F information (present EIT/following EIT EIT:eventinformation table, i.e. current event information/next event information) of each channel;

C. the set-top box background program is by resolving corresponding PSI/SI/ descriptor (PSI:program specificinformaion SI:service information descriptor: descriptor) judge by the mode of characters matching whether each channel program current or next broadcast is the TV play that the user imports, if then enter the d step, if not then wait for and get back to the b step;

D. judge whether the user has imported the collection number, if not then enter the e step, if then enter the f step;

E. all collection numbers of this serial are recorded, record tv collection of drama number no longer repeats to record;

Whether the program of f. judging current or next broadcast the continuous collection of drama number of user's appointment, if then enter the g step, if not then get back to the b step;

G. this collection is counted TV play and record, record tv collection of drama number is no longer repeated to record;

Further, when recording in step e and the step g, filter the program of discontinuous collection of drama simultaneously.

The invention has the beneficial effects as follows, can reach the function of the TV play that PVR set-top box automatic recording user selectes, made things convenient for the user, increased the market competitiveness by above-mentioned steps.

Description of drawings

Fig. 1 is the system flow chart of embodiment.

Embodiment

Below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, describe technical scheme of the present invention in detail.

The invention provides a kind of PVR set-top box serial method for recording, at first the user imports TV play set name and collection number, the set-top box background program is obtained the program of current or next broadcast according to the P/F information of each channel then, and judge by the mode of characters matching whether each channel program current or next broadcast is the TV play that the user imports by resolving corresponding PSI/SI/ descriptor, if not then wait for, whether imported the collection number if then judge the user, if not then all collection numbers of this serial are recorded, record tv collection of drama number no longer repeats to record, if whether the program of then judging current or next broadcast the continuous collection of drama number of user's appointment, if not then wait for, record if then this collection is counted TV play, record tv collection of drama number is no longer repeated to record.

Embodiment

This example is filtered the program of discontinuous collection of drama simultaneously when TV play is recorded, its system flow such as Fig. 1.

At first the user imports TV play set name and collection number, the set-top box background program is obtained the program of current or next broadcast according to the P/F information of each channel then, and because in the DVB standard, the supplementary of channels/programs all issues by the PSI/SI/ descriptor information, therefore judge by the mode of characters matching whether each channel program current or next broadcast is the TV play that the user imports by resolving corresponding PSI/SI/ descriptor, if not then wait for, whether imported the collection number if then judge the user, if not then all collection numbers of this serial are recorded, record tv collection of drama number no longer repeats to record, if then judge the whether continuous collection of drama number of user's appointment of current/program of be about to playing, if not then wait for, record if then this collection is counted TV play, record tv collection of drama number is no longer repeated to record.Because the discontinuity of program, may break for commercialsy in the playing process, program such as news, so we to filter the program of these discontinuous collection of dramas.

Claims

[claim 1] PVR set-top box serial method for recording is characterized in that, may further comprise the steps:

A. the user imports TV play set name and collection number;

B. the set-top box background program is obtained the program of current or next broadcast according to the P/F information of each channel;

C. the set-top box background program judges by the mode of characters matching whether each channel program current or next broadcast is the TV play that the user imports by resolving corresponding PSI/SI/ descriptor, if then enter the d step, if not then wait for and get back to the b step;

D. judge whether the user has imported the collection number, if not then enter the e step, if then enter the f step;

E. all collection numbers of this serial are recorded, record tv collection of drama number no longer repeats to record;

Whether the program of f. judging current or next broadcast the continuous collection of drama number of user's appointment, if then enter the g step, if not then get back to the b step;

G. this collection is counted TV play and record, record tv collection of drama number is no longer repeated to record.
[claim 2] is characterized in that according to the described PVR set-top box of claim 1 serial method for recording, when recording in step e and the step g, filters the program of discontinuous collection of drama simultaneously.
