Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment the present invention is elaborated.
Fig. 1 is the flow chart based on the band selecting method of STB of one embodiment of the invention, and as shown in Figure 1, the band selecting method based on STB of present embodiment comprises the steps.
Step 101: the predetermined instruction that receives the user;
Step 102: automatically switching channels, play the program of current channel, and the channel selected of mark user;
Step 103: after the automatic switchover of channel was accomplished, the control television set was distinguished in channel list and is shown the channel and the unlabelled channel of mark.
Wherein, in step 101, the user can import above-mentioned predetermined instruction through the EFR STK that shows on predetermined key on the remote controller or the television set.In step 102, in a preferred embodiment, can be according to the playing programs time of preset time step control current channel, wherein the playing programs time equals time step.In another preferred embodiment, can control the playing programs time of current channel according to preset time step and channel weights, wherein the playing programs time equals time step and multiply by the channel weights, and the channel weights preestablish according to channel type.At present; The program channel of DTV can be divided into various types of channels such as news channel, sports channel, entertainment channel, children's channel; The user can preestablish the channel weights of dissimilar channels according to the hobby of oneself; Can control the playing programs time of dissimilar channels thus, make the own cannel broadcast of being paid close attention to relatively than the long time, and perhaps not play the relatively short time of the cannel broadcast that oneself is not paid close attention to.Further, channel weights that can scrambling class channel are set to 0, and then skip above-mentioned channel, shorten the time that channel switches.Wherein, scrambling class channel can comprise charge type channel or just at the channel of playing advertisements.In addition, can also channel selection last time process in the channel weights of the channel that do not change of mark and program be set to 0, and then skip above-mentioned channel, shorten the time that channel switches.Whether the program of channel changes can be realized through the channel electronics guidance information (epg information) of relatively channel selection last time process and this channel selection.In step 103, can be presented at the prostatitis of channel list and be differently shown through general's channel of mark through suitable color and unlabelled channel.
By the way, the user can carry out secondary and select in the channel of mark, so reduced the user constantly by remote controller up and down key select the troublesome operation of channel, simplified the channel selection process.For example, the user can through remote controller up and down key from the channel of mark, select a channel to play.In a preferred embodiment; Can from the channel of mark, select first channel to play; And when the first cannel broadcast advertisement, automatically switch to second channel in the channel of mark, and after the advertisement of first channel finishes; Switch back first channel, further simplified user's channel selection process thus.
Further, in the band selecting method based on STB of present embodiment, can also the channel of mark be added to intend and record tabulation, and carry out performance recording.
Fig. 2 is the flow chart based on the band selecting method of STB of another embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in Figure 2, the band selecting method based on STB of present embodiment comprises the steps.
Step 201: the predetermined instruction that receives the user;
Step 202: judge whether to want channel predetermined parameter,, then get into step 203,, then get into step 204 if do not need parameter preset if want parameter preset;
Step 203: time step or time step and channel weights are set; The method to set up of channel weights comprises: in advance various types of channels such as news channel, sports channel, entertainment channel, children's channel being classified, is that dissimilar channels is provided with the channel weights by the user according to the degree of concern to program;
Step 204: automatically switch to next channel, wherein can be through current channel being added one or subtract and switch to next channel;
Step 205: judge current channel whether mark and program do not change, if mark and program have not changed, then get into step 210, if not, then get into step 206;
Step 206: judge whether current channel meets the broadcast condition,, then get into step 207, if not, then get into step 210 if meet the broadcast condition;
Step 207: the program of playing this channel; Wherein play the program of current channel with parameter (time step or time step and channel weights) that be provided with or system default in the step 203, the concrete playing programs time is that time step or time step multiply by the channel weights;
Step 208: whether judges is by confirming key, if entering step 209 if not, gets into step 210;
Step 209: this channel of mark gets into step 210;
Step 210: whether judges presses abort key, if not, gets into step 211, if get into step 212;
Step 211: judging whether channel switches finishes, if, get into step 212, if not, step 204 got into;
Step 212: difference shows the channel and the unlabelled channel of mark in channel list.
Fig. 3 is the structural representation of the STB of one embodiment of the invention, and is as shown in Figure 3, and STB structure 300 comprises receiver module 301, channel handover module 302 and display control module 303.
STB of the present invention and distinguish in channel list based on the band selecting method of STB and to show the channel and the unlabelled channel of mark, reduced the user constantly by remote controller up and down key select the troublesome operation of channel, simplified the channel selection process.Further; STB of the present invention and can also be to scrambling class channel automatic fitrations such as special channel of paying of needs and advertisements based on the band selecting method of STB; Reduce the number of the channel of required selection; The user can also set the speed of selecting channel, promotes the efficient of selecting channel.In addition, can also user's's selected marker program be added in the rendition list,, make things convenient for the user to carry out secondary and select at the rendition list by prioritized.
The above is merely embodiments of the invention; Be not so limit claim of the present invention; Every equivalent structure or equivalent flow process conversion that utilizes specification of the present invention and accompanying drawing content to be done; Or directly or indirectly be used in other relevant technical fields, all in like manner be included in the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
