Embodiment
About aforementioned and other technology contents, characteristics and effect of the present invention, with reference in the graphic DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED, can clearly present in following cooperation.
Consult Fig. 2, it is the preferred embodiment of demodulation parameter searching method of the present invention, this method for searching is to be applied on the electronic installation 1 of two-forty digital communication, and the electronic installation 1 of present embodiment is built in digital TV set-top box (the Set Top Box of Digital Television in being, STB), it mainly is to utilize Wireless transmission mode to receive the digital television program signal (following general designation channel signals) that TV station sends.At no transmission parameter signaling (Transmission Parameter Signaling; TPS) in the television broadcasting system; each channel signals that transmitting terminal (TV station) is sent can comprise data flow (wherein comprising the digital television program content) and the combination of multiple demodulation parameter; wherein the demodulation parameter combination has protection (Guard Interval at interval; GI); Modulation etc.; and have a plurality of demodulation parameters in each demodulation parameter combination; therefore; no matter digital TV set-top box is external or built-in; it must be from received channel signals; in each demodulation parameter combination, extract a suitable demodulation parameter respectively, could carry out demodulation data stream.
In the present embodiment, digital TV set-top box except existing in order to corresponding channel selecting signal, outside the associated processing circuit of the channel signals of the correspondence that selection is received (figure does not show), also comprise in order to search demodulation parameter, the data flow in this channel signals is carried out the control module 2 and the demodulator 3 of demodulation process.Control module 2 can be taken out multiple demodulation parameter combination from channel signals, and sends demodulation parameter to demodulator 3 from each demodulation parameter combination.Demodulator 3 then is coupled to control module 2, and accept the demodulation parameter that data flow and control module sent out in the channel signals, after data stream being carried out demodulation according to these demodulation parameters, deliver to the decoding unit 4 of rear end again, so that solve programme content and output the data flow after demodulation.
And in order to make control module 2 can find suitable demodulation parameter apace, the control module 2 of present embodiment includes database 21, this database 21 is in the memory (figure does not show) that is stored in the control module 2, it comprises the GI parameter list and the Modulation parameter list of the weighted value of a plurality of demodulation parameters that are used for writing down respectively each demodulation parameter combination, as shown in Figure 3, wherein, record five demodulation parameter 420CPN in the GI parameter list, 945VPN, 595CPN, 945CPN and 420VPN, and its default weighted value is respectively 5,3,2,1 and 0, and also record five demodulation parameter 64QAM in the Modulation parameter list, 16QAM, 32QAM, 4QAM and 4QAM-NR, and its weighted value is preset as 5 respectively, 3,2,1 and 0.
The method for searching of demodulation parameter of the present invention flow process as shown in Figure 4.After electronic installation 1 receives a channel signals (when just the user selects some channels), can enter the channel parameter seek mode and carry out following steps (illustrating) to search the GI demodulation parameter:
Step 41, control module 2 is according to the weights size of each demodulation parameter in the GI parameter list of database 21, the demodulation parameter of choosing one of them weighted value maximum and be not used from the GI demodulation parameter combination of channel signals is delivered to demodulator 3, suppose that at this this step is to be performed for the first time, so all demodulation parameters all are not used in the combination of GI demodulation parameter, then control module 2 can extract demodulation parameter 420CPN (weighted value maximum).
Step 42, demodulation parameter (420CPN) that demodulator 3 reception control modules 2 are provided and the data flow in the channel signals, and utilize this demodulation parameter that data stream is carried out demodulation, if demodulator 3 is this data flow of demodulation smoothly, then control module 2 can stop seek actions and with the weights weighting (for example adding) of this demodulation parameter (420CPN) in the database 21, and in order to improve the speed of search, control module 2 can just rearrange all demodulation parameters in the GI parameter list according to weights; Otherwise if demodulator 3 can't this data flow of demodulation, then execution in step 43.
In step 43, control module 2 judges whether that all demodulation parameters all were used, if the demodulation parameter that is not used in addition, then repeated execution of steps 41 and step 42, that is to say, suppose that demodulation parameter 420CPN that step 41 proposes can't demodulated data stream, then again during repeating step 41, the demodulation parameter 945VPN with second high weight will be suggested (because demodulation parameter 420CPN was used) and carry out step 42; Otherwise, repeating through after the step 41,42,, just representing to there is no data flow in the selected channel of user if all demodulation parameters all were used and all can't demodulated data stream in the GI parameter list, then control module 2 can stop seek actions, and promptly the user will can not see programme content.
Similarly, for another group demodulation parameter combinations Modulation in the channel signals, also can according to above-mentioned step hunt out one can demodulated data stream demodulation parameter, and when all find suitable demodulation parameter from each demodulation parameter combination after, then demodulator 21 promptly can utilize these demodulation parameters to the data flow demodulation.
Because electronic installation 1 is through using for a long time, during each user's switching channels, electronic installation 1 all can utilize above-mentioned method for searching to seek suitable demodulation parameter, therefore, the weighted value of demodulation parameter commonly used will constantly be increased, just Chang Yong demodulation parameter can preferentially be proposed to carry out demodulation to demodulator 3 always, improved in the probability that just can find correct demodulation parameter for the first time, and further reduced the number of times of demodulation mistake, make the time of searching demodulation parameter significantly to reduce.
In addition, what deserves to be mentioned is, the weighted value of the demodulation parameter in the above-mentioned database 21 can be the predefined preset value of program designer (it is promptly default promptly to dispatch from the factory), also can search the weighted value that ten channel signals (perhaps more multichannel) back is set up out through above-mentioned search flow process.Certainly, the method of setting up the weighted value of the demodulation parameter in the database 21 can also be that electronic installation 1 is when being unlocked for the first time, just earlier to all channel scannings one time, find out the demodulation parameter of each channel signals correspondence, make the weighted value that before channel is selected, can set up out demodulation parameter in the database 21.In addition, electronic installation 1 also comprises reset button (figure does not show), the user can be optionally by pushing replacement trigger control module 2, make control module 2 that the weighted value of the demodulation parameter in all demodulation parameter combinations in the database 21 is reset to zero, perhaps set up on their own after after a while by control module 2, the weighted value with the demodulation parameter in all demodulation parameters combinations in the database 21 resets to zero automatically.
In sum, demodulation parameter searching method of the present invention is the notion by weighted value, after finding demodulation parameter each time with its weights weighting, and the demodulation parameter that the higher weightings value preferentially will be arranged extracts to demodulator and carries out demodulation, improved the probability that just can demodulate programme content for the first time, reduced the number of times of demodulation mistake, made method for searching of the present invention compared to prior art, its search time can will significantly reduce.
