By using remote control equipment and the remote control equipment of describing among above three embodiment, can realize the automatic switchover of video equipment channel, in the embodiments of the invention four, with switching channels be spaced apart at 1 o'clock, to switch succeeding channel be example to the video equipment timing automatic, a kind of method of switching channels may further comprise the steps as shown in Figure 5:
Step s501, video equipment receive the order of the automatically switching channels of remote control equipment transmission;
The timer timing of step s502, video equipment begins;
Step s503, timer arrive the predefined time, and video equipment obtains succeeding channel;
Step s504, video equipment judge whether succeeding channel has spacing identification, if having then carry out step s503, otherwise continue step s505;
Step s505, video equipment switch to succeeding channel with current channel;
Step s506, video equipment judge whether to receive the order that stops automatically switching channels, if not then carry out step s502, otherwise finish.
In this method, remote control equipment is to the order of video equipment transmission automatically switching channels, and this order can be triggered by the specific keys on the remote control equipment, as the automatically switching channels button on the remote control equipment.After video equipment receives this order, automatically current channel is switched to another channel at regular intervals, the time interval can be set by the user.During automatically switching channels, the certain user is not wished that the channel that is automatically switched to can identify by pre-set interval, ignore when the automatically switching channels, be directly switch to another continuously every the channel of sign.When stopping automatically switching channels, the order that stops switching channels can being triggered by some specific keys on the remote control equipment, thereby the automatic channel that stops video equipment switching, and the scope of this specific keys can be set in advance, as some button on the remote control equipment or on the video equipment control panel.In addition, when the user when browsing channel, video equipment then can stop ongoing automatically switching channels after video equipment restarts because certain reason is restarted, or the automatically switching channels before continuing to restart.
In the embodiments of the invention five, with switching channels be spaced apart at 1 o'clock, to switch succeeding channel be example to the video equipment timing automatic, a kind of method of switching channels may further comprise the steps as shown in Figure 6:
Step s601, remote control equipment send the order of switching channels;
Step s602, video equipment receive the order of switching channels;
Step s603, video equipment obtain succeeding channel;
Step s604, video equipment judge whether succeeding channel has spacing identification, if having then carry out step s603, otherwise carry out step s605;
Step s605, video equipment switch to succeeding channel;
Step s606, timer arrive the predefined time, and remote control equipment judges whether to receive the order that stops automatically switching channels, if receive then carry out step s607, otherwise carry out step s601;
Step s607, remote control equipment send the information that channel switches that stops;
Step s608, video equipment receive the information that channel switches that stops;
Step s609, video equipment stop automatically switching channels.
In this method, remote control equipment sends the order of switching channels to video equipment every the regular hour, the time interval can be set by the user, during automatically switching channels, the certain user is not wished that the channel that is automatically switched to can identify by pre-set interval, ignore when the automatically switching channels, be directly switch to another continuously every the channel of sign.The order of remote control equipment timed sending switching channels can be triggered by the specific keys on the remote control equipment, as the automatically switching channels button on the remote control equipment.Equally, the order that stops switching channels can being triggered by some specific keys on remote control equipment or the video equipment control panel, thereby stops automatically switching channels.In addition, when the user when browsing channel, video equipment then can stop ongoing automatically switching channels after video equipment restarts because certain reason is restarted, or the automatically switching channels before continuing to restart.
In the embodiments of the invention six, with switching channels be spaced apart at 1 o'clock, to switch succeeding channel be example to the video equipment timing automatic, a kind of method of switching channels may further comprise the steps as shown in Figure 7:
Step s701, remote control equipment call built-in menu of video equipment or interactive module, send the order of automatically switching channels to video equipment;
The timer timing of step s702, video equipment begins;
Step s703, timer arrive the predefined time, and video equipment obtains succeeding channel;
Step s704, video equipment judge whether succeeding channel has spacing identification, if having then carry out step s703, otherwise continue step s705;
Step s705, video equipment switch to succeeding channel with current channel;
Step s706, video equipment judge whether to receive the order that stops automatically switching channels, if not then carry out step s702, otherwise finish.
In this method, remote control equipment sends the order of automatically switching channels by calling the menu or the interactive module of the built-in automatically switching channels of video equipment to video equipment.After video equipment receives this order, automatically current channel is switched to another channel at regular intervals, the time interval can be set by the user.During automatically switching channels, the certain user is not wished that the channel that is automatically switched to can identify by pre-set interval, when automatically switching channels, ignore, be directly switch to another continuously every the channel that identifies.When stopping automatically switching channels, the order that stops switching channels can being triggered by some specific keys on the remote control equipment or trigger by calling built-in menu of video equipment or interactive module by remote control equipment, thereby the automatic channel that stops video equipment switching.In addition, when the user when browsing channel, video equipment then can stop ongoing automatically switching channels after video equipment restarts because certain reason is restarted, or the automatically switching channels before continuing to restart.
By using the method for the switching channels that above embodiment four to embodiment six describes, realized that the user sets up the time interval of automatically switching channels and the condition of switching on their own, after arriving the blanking time of switching another channel, video equipment promptly automatically switches to another channel that satisfies switching condition.
More than disclosed only be several specific embodiment of the present invention, still, the present invention is not limited thereto, any those skilled in the art can think variation all should fall into protection scope of the present invention.
