In record cell 3, also writing down many records of the audience information of interrupted, mainly comprise: the content information of interrupted, like programm name etc.; The positional information of interrupted is like collection of drama information, subordinate channel, time started, concluding time etc.; Interrupting information is as interrupting the moment etc.; Sequencing information in interruption logging repeatedly is like chronological order information etc.; Prompting message during EOI is like start prompting, related prompting etc.; The be associated search information of program of interrupted is like searching position information etc.; And the download of Search Results preserved information, like automatic download, download location etc.
Shown in Figure 4 is the program audience information example of the recording unit records of one embodiment of the invention.In Fig. 4, only list 3 records and be used for explanation.For each bar record; The audience information of interrupted comprises the interruption program time, the broadcast time length, interruption position (time when beginning to play apart from program during interruption, the time period length of promptly having seen program fragment) of channel, programm name, the program at place when interrupting.For types such as serial or serial plays, also to locate the content of this program by the collection of drama position.Record cell has also write down some config options to this interrupted record in addition, plays whether carry out screen prompt in the time of can beginning like continuity, promptly among Fig. 4 to a some prompt options.Also record searching position, comprise whether searching for EPG, searching for Internet whether; The information of relevant download comprises whether downloading the whole program file, or the program fragment of a download user appointment, is generally the content of the program fragment that misses; And the position of local preservation after downloading etc.As to article one record, when the 20th of Dream of the Red Mansion TV series combine in 2007 09 month 19: 10: 00 on the 01st, when the Channel-1 cannel broadcast, to be interrupted by the user, this moment, length was that 60 minutes program was only seen 10 minutes.Control unit is searched for EPG and the Internet according to these informational needs, downloads whole 60 minutes program then, be kept at local hlm20.avi file, and when program can be play to user's prompting of being correlated with.
Fig. 5 is user configured variety of option, can be the configuration of acquiescence here, also can dispose separately each bar record.Config option has: when correlating programs can be play, whether carry out the prompting of correlating programs; Download whole program or program fragment; The search when time that search procedure is carried out still shuts down for when start search, and when the digital broadcast device moves, search on the backstage etc.Other options mainly comprise alerting pattern, switching mode, searching position or the like, and are as shown in Figure 5, in this explanation no longer one by one.
Introduced the device and method that is used to support multiple Conditional Access Module of the present invention above for example.But those skilled in the art is to be understood that the foregoing description just is used to describe, and is not to limit the invention.For example, the interrupt method of above-mentioned program has multiple, and except the shutdown shown in the present embodiment is interrupted, interrupt method can also be controlled interruption or the like for time-out, dormancy, channel switching and user.Equally; Restart or also can be corresponding to the interruption of interrupt mode for multiple with the mode of interrupted continuity; Except the start again shown in Fig. 5, also can control to continue and play program that interrupts or the like for the continuity broadcast of temporaty suspension, dormancy awakening and through the user.
Fig. 6 shows the situation of screen prompt for example.For example when the user televiews once more; According to Search Results; Program Dream of the Red Mansion the 20th collection that the user watches at the Channel-1 channel before interrupting; Soon in the Channel-2 channel, be played to the point of interruption when watching last time, this moment apart from last time the point of interruption also had for 30 seconds, this program can with the complete linking of the program that interrupted last time on.Reminding the user whether to jump to the Channel-2 channel through screen so continues the program that interrupted last time and watches.If the user selects present redirect; Then control unit 4 control tuner 1 switches to Channel-2 with channel; And decode the programme content of Channel-2 and demultiplexing through the decoder Multiplexing Unit; And under control unit 4 controls, the target programme content is played to the user through the playing programs unit, realize that the continuity of interrupted is play.
Fig. 6 just shows the continuity broadcast that realizes interrupted through screen prompt for example.And in the practical application multiple situation can be arranged: for example behind the EOI, call the program source of mating most in the Search Results automatically, and automatically switch to the target program source, realize that the automatic continuity of interrupted is play.Also can, the play position of target program source just automatically switch to the target program source and play when just be complementary with the interruption position in interrupted source.Can also work as and interrupt finishing; As when starting shooting; Automatically Search Results is passed through the information indicating unit; Remind the user that interrupted before has the program source that can continue to play, select whether to jump to the continuity broadcast that the target program source is carried out interrupted, also can select abandon the broadcast of interrupted according to the user by the user.For the start prompt options is the content of " denying ", and the user will can initiatively not point out in system, but the user when needed, and through user interaction unit, the Search Results of active inquiry interrupted audience information determines whether launching interrupted continuity playing flow.Because the broadcast mode of DTV, when start or interruption when restarting, the reproduction time and the current time of the target program source of being searched for can not mate fully, and it is poor perhaps to have the regular hour.If at this moment jump to the target program source, the problems such as wait of long period then can appear, and interference user watches on the contrary.Therefore, alerting pattern also can target program source and the interrupted point of interruption will or moment of coupling just, through the information indicating unit, remind the interrupted before the user can continue broadcast at other channels now.Select to judge whether to carry out the continuity broadcast of interrupted through prompting and user.Equally, for related reminder option, its alerting pattern also can be for above multiple.
Fig. 7 shows the concrete processing procedure of search for example.If option search time that Fig. 5 disposed is the shutdown search, then when user's closing television machine (display dormancy) (S701), control unit 4 reads user profile from record cell, obtains user's configuration.Then the record of interrupted audience information shown in Figure 4 is searched for (S703) one by one.Read the searching position information in the config option of each bar record as shown in Figure 4,, then carry out internet hunt (S705) if this searching position information is searching for Internet (S704).The method of search can be according to modes such as keyword coupling such as programm name, collection of drama positional informations.Simultaneously, need search for (S706) to EPG, then carry out search (S707) EPG if this searching position information also comprises.Then will be to the outcome record (S708) in record cell of a plurality of database search.If obtained Search Results through internet hunt; And judge the address of the effective target program file that existence can be downloaded in the Search Results and the download (S709) that config option requires to carry out programme content; Then on effective destination address, carry out the download of the programme content of file destination, and the programme content after will downloading is stored in the record cell according to the configuration of the download option.After judging record to each interrupted in many records of being stored all to carry out above operation (S711), just accomplished whole search procedure (S712).
The only for example clear concrete processing procedure of searching for of Fig. 7.But in practical application, the program searching mode can be for multiple.For example, can be shutdown search, start search, dormancy search search time, and the search in the program audience process etc.Searching position can be EPG, the Internet and content server or the like.Way of search can be the coupling of interrupted title, the coupling of the corresponding collection of drama of program etc.The coupling project need guarantee the correspondence on broadcast time, and promptly the broadcast time of target program source need be after search time, because program audience information in the past is invalid.
Fig. 8 is the process chart after the digital broadcast device start of the present invention.According to user's configuration, the digital broadcast device is as shown in Figure 7 to be searched for and downloads interrupted when shutdown, has obtained available target information or downloaded files, and it is stored in the record cell.After user's start next time, some program that has write down broadcasts information and possibly lose efficacy, and for example this program is in the situation of starting shooting and having broadcasted before.Therefore need to before the information that write down upgrade.Start back (S801); At first read configuration file; Obtain user's configuration (S802); If (S803) upgraded in the start of user's configuration requirement automatically, then need read information (S804) one by one like the interrupted that is write down among Fig. 4, and corresponding possible a plurality of target broadcast times or the target program file of each interrupted.Relatively current time and each target broadcast time (S805),, or it is labeled as inefficacy (S807) if current goal broadcast time expired (S806) is then deleted this expired record.If in searching record,, then once more searching position (like EPG, the Internet etc.) is searched for, and Search Results is preserved (S809) not corresponding to the effective target broadcast time (S808) of an interrupted.If need point out (S810) to the user during config option indication start, then carry out similar screen prompt shown in Figure 6 (S811).At last by the user according to screen prompt, determine next step operation, and process ends (S812).
Fig. 9 is the sketch map embodiment of the invention and same program Search Results " A Dream of Red Mansions the 20th collection ".Article one recorded information in the corresponding diagram 4, Dream of the Red Mansion the 20th collection has 3 Search Results among Fig. 9.Searching position is EPG and the Internet, and the Search Results of EPG has been indicated the time started and beginning channel of the same program that can watch through broadcast mode.So after next user watches that the time arrives the time started in the record that searches out; And broadcasted the content of the position of watching when interrupting last time; As 10 minutes of playing last time locating; Then can prompting shown in Figure 6 can appear according to alerting pattern: last time interrupted Dream of the Red Mansion the 20th collection is arranged since the 10th minute program at Channel-2.Select whether to carry out redirect by the user then.
Figure 10 is the sketch map embodiment of the invention and related-program Search Results " A Dream of Red Mansions the 20th collection ".Like the program that interrupted last time is that Dream of the Red Mansion the 20th collects, and according to the association search configuration, can search for the relevant collection of drama content of front and back such as the 21st relevant collection, 22 collection and 23 collection.Like Figure 10, for example for the 23rd set content, this set content is downloaded according to user configured the download option, storing path be hlm23.avi file.When next user starts shooting or wants to see this 23 collection, can directly play this file in this locality.
