Four, the picture material with current playing program does not demonstrate release information with other image replacements.This method is exactly with the program image concealing on the screen, is presented on the screen with fixing system's tableaux, and sound stops or Play System sound simultaneously, can't see whatever in the eyes of beholder.
The method of release has a variety of, such as password authentification, a password input window mouth on screen, occurs, and it is carried out the proper password input, just can carry out release to this program and watch.But for children or old man, such operation can seem, and some is loaded down with trivial details, so this release can adopt the method for virgin lock to lock, is perhaps only permitted to carry out simple single button operation and just program is carried out release and watch.
For locking process with concrete TV element marriage Fig. 3 explanation that makes an explanation:
Read current in progress programm name EPG (electric program menu) information when 1) current programm name acquisition module is from television for play, show through acting on the current programm name display field on the program lock menus of display control module;
2) the display condition judge module can judge at first whether be empty, if tabulation is sky, then this in progress program is not locked, and then gets into normal play if being locked the rendition list; Like tabulation is not empty; Then can carry out next step processing; Promptly be to access to be locked program list information (this is locked program list information is in data memory module, to extract), judge that current playing program is whether in this tabulation, if in tabulation; Represent that then program is locked, then need release to play; If not in tabulation, normal play then.When carrying out releasing process, or the display condition judge module verifies the password of input, like password authentification success, then carries out normal play, like the password authentification failure, then can not play.
When television set is opened from being closed to; Will certainly be on some channels; Whether the TV programme of playing on this channel this time point when opening are in being locked the rendition list, so described current in progress program is channel in progress TV programme in place behind the television startup.Therefore, we can say that the Executive Module in this module groups just begins to carry out automatically after TV is opened, judge and deserve whether preceding program should normal play still be undesired broadcast.
Describe with an example: the place channel after closing such as television set is CCTV's one channel; Turned on television set at 7 o'clock to this time period of seven thirty; TV programme are central news hookup; Fail " central news hookup " this programm name is locked in for the user who likes seeing news and be locked in the rendition list, then when turning on television set, the news hookup of television set normal play central authorities.Then " central news hookup " this programm name is locked in for the user who dislikes seeing news and is locked in the rendition list, then when turning on television set, can occur the window of a password input on the television screen.
