In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
The invention provides a set-top box 10 capable of quickly previewing a program guide through a program function bar and a control method thereof, wherein in the working process of the set-top box, the set-top box sends a television signal to an external playing device and plays a television program through the external playing device, and on the other hand, the set-top box also receives an instruction or a request sent from the outside at the same time and forms a program information bar for indicating program information on a program playing interface according to the instruction or the request, and the program information bar is superposed on the current program playing interface, so that a user can preview other unplayed program channels while watching a program picture without switching to the program guide interface, the convenience of program previewing operation is improved, and the requirements of the user on watching the program and previewing other unplayed programs at the same time are met.
Referring to fig. 1, the present application provides a set-top box 10 for fast previewing a program guide, which includes a main controller 100 received in an inner cavity of a housing of the set-top box, a signal receiver 200 electrically connected to the main controller 100 and configured to receive a television signal from a front end of an external television signal, a signal transmitter 300 electrically connected to the main controller 100 and configured to receive a program playing command or a display command sent by the main controller 100 and send the program playing command or the display command to an external playing device, and an instruction receiving module 400 for receiving an external signal adjusting instruction, the main controller 100 is connected with the front end of the external television signal in a communication way, and is connected with external playing device in data connection or communication, the main controller 100 constructs an event information table related to each program when receiving the television signal transmitted from the front end of the television signal, and a program database is formed, and the size parameters of the program information bars and the stacking sequence of the program information bars and the playing interface are preset in the main controller 100. Specifically, the main controller 100 establishes a plurality of Channel numbers in the storage module 500 of the main controller 100 according to the receiving time sequence, each Channel number is Channel 1, Channel 2, and Channel3. When the main controller 100 receives a television signal once, the main controller 100 compares the channel classification number of the television signal with the channel classification number of the previously stored channel number, if the channel classification number is matched with one of the stored channel numbers, the newly received television signal is added to the channel number, and if the channel classification number is not matched with the one of the stored channel numbers, a new channel number is established in the storage module 500, so that a program database is formed, and the main controller 100 can call in the playing process of the television program.
When the set-top box and an external display device connected with the set-top box, such as a television or other electronic display screen, work, the main controller 100 constructs an event information table related to each program when receiving a television signal forwarded by the signal receiver 200, and combines programs belonging to the same channel number to form a program database, and size parameters of program information bars and a superposition order of the program information bars and a playing interface are preset in the main controller 100. In this embodiment, the size of the program information bar is one tenth of a complete playing interface of a television program, and the program information bar is a horizontal information bar displayed at the bottom of the playing interface, or a vertical information bar displayed at the left side or the right side of the playing interface, and the program information bar may be superimposed on the top layer of the playing interface in a covering manner, or may be superimposed on the top layer of the playing interface in a frame blanking covering manner, that is, the position where the program information bar is displayed, and may not only display the content of the program information bar, but also affect the image content expression of the current playing interface.
When receiving the program preview request forwarded by the instruction receiving module 400, the master controller 100 calls an Event Information Table (EIT for short) and a current/next Event (Present/Following for short) of the current program in the program database, and sends a program Information bar display signal to the external playback device via the signal transmitter 300. It can be understood that, when a user sends an instruction to the set-top box and needs to preview a program, the main controller 100 will call a signal in the program database in the storage module 500, specifically, in this case, only call the current broadcast information in the channel number currently being broadcast and the program content that needs to be broadcast at the next time node in the channel number, and display the information and the program content to be broadcast, so that the user can know the information being broadcast in the channel and the program content to be broadcast. The display content of the program information bar is as shown in fig. 2, and it should be noted that, in the actual setting, according to the size of the program information bar, the display content of the program information bar may also be set to include program forecasts in a plurality of different time periods, so that the user can make a judgment and make a reasonable selection.
The main controller 100 updates the program information bar upon receiving the program addition/subtraction instruction forwarded by the instruction receiving module 400. That is, when the user needs to preview the programs of other channels, the main controller 100 sequentially calls the channel number information of the adjacent LCN values according to the control instruction by sending the program adding/subtracting instruction to the instruction receiving module 400, and calls the playing basic information in the channel corresponding to the corresponding LCN value in the program database to display. Specifically, the main controller 100 acquires the event information table of the current program and the current/next event of the previous/next channel and updates the program information bar when receiving the program add/subtract instruction. The program information bar includes the playing time period, program name, adult level information of the current program, and the playing basic information of the playing time period, program name, adult level, etc. of the next program, so that the user can quickly browse and obtain the program information of the designated unplayed channel.
The main controller 100 sends the current program information in the program information bar to the external playing device via the signal transmitter 300 and plays the current program information when receiving the instruction for confirming playing of the program forwarded by the instruction receiving module 400. When the main controller 100 receives a command for confirming playing of a program, that is, when a current program of a selected current channel needs to be played, the main controller 100 accesses the front end of a television signal according to current program parameters of a program information bar, and acquires a playing source of a channel number corresponding to the current program from the front end of the television signal, after the playing source is acquired, the main controller 100 transmits the program signal to an external display device for playing, and simultaneously cuts off a playing command of the program information bar sent to the external display device, that is, the program information bar on a playing interface disappears, at this moment, a program preview process is finished, and a display picture is switched to a normal playing interface.
Referring to fig. 1 again, in an embodiment, the set-top box further includes a time module 600 electrically connected to the main controller 100, and the time module 600 starts timing when the main controller 100 receives a command or a request, and sends a feedback signal to the main controller 100 when a predetermined time is reached, so as to switch the state of the set-top box. That is, after the set-top box enters the program preview program, if the main controller 100 does not receive a new command or request within a certain time, the set-top box will automatically exit the program preview program, so as to avoid a misoperation caused by a user sending a signal to the command receiving module 400 by mistake, or facilitate the user to automatically interrupt the program preview program when the user leaves or cannot continue inputting a command due to an emergency. Specifically, each time the main controller 100 receives an instruction or a request, the main controller 100 sends a signal to the time module 600, starts timing by the time module 600, and performs time feedback on the main controller 100, so that the main controller 100 can determine whether the duration of the instruction reaches a set value in real time, until other instructions or requests are received and a next control mode is entered. For example, when the main controller 100 receives a program preview request, if the preset time is reached, no program add/subtract command is received; or after the main controller 100 receives the program adding/subtracting instruction, the program playing confirmation instruction is not received when the preset time is reached, the set-top box quits the program preview program, and the display picture displays the original playing interface. Of course, when the master 100 does not receive a new command or request within a specified time, the currently displayed program information bar is continuously displayed, i.e. the current control mode or inquiry mode is still maintained.
Further, in an embodiment, the set-top box further includes a hand control, such as a button or a knob, electrically connected to the instruction receiving module 400; or/and a remote control device, such as a remote controller or a microwave device with a remote control function, in microwave connection with the instruction receiving module 400; or/and an intelligent mobile terminal in communication connection with the instruction receiving module 400, such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer capable of communicating with the instruction receiving module 400. That is to say, the user can directly operate the manual control element on the set-top box, can send an instruction to the set-top box through the remote controller, and can control the set-top box through the device such as the mobile phone, and the instruction receiving module 400 of the set-top box includes the electric signal switching sub-module 410, the microwave signal 200 sub-module 420 and the communication signal sub-module 430, so that the set-top box can simultaneously satisfy a plurality of different control modes, and the control difficulty of the set-top box is reduced.
Referring to fig. 3, the present invention also discloses a set-top box control method 20 for fast previewing a program guide through a program function bar, which comprises the following steps:
s1: when the set-top box sends a television signal with preset content to the external playing equipment and plays the television signal, and the set-top box receives a program preview request, the set-top box calls an event information table of a current program and a current/next event and displays the event information table and the current/next event on the external playing equipment in a program information bar form;
s2: when receiving a program adding/subtracting instruction, the set top box updates a program information strip;
s3: and when receiving the instruction for confirming the playing of the program, the set top box sends the current program information in the program information bar to the external playing equipment and plays the program.
Before the set-top box enters the program preview program, the storage and encoding process of the program information is also included. The method specifically comprises the following steps: the main controller 100 of the set-top box establishes a plurality of Channel numbers such as Channel 1, Channel 2, and Channel3.. once.channel n in the storage module 500 of the main controller 100 according to the time sequence of receiving the television signal from the front end of the television signal, program information in each Channel number corresponds to the same Channel classification number in the front end of the television signal, and after the program information received from the front end of the television signal is loaded to the corresponding Channel numbers, the program information can be assigned to each Channel number in sequence according to the sequence established by each Channel number to form an LCN of each Channel number, or a user can manually send an instruction to the main controller 100 of the set-top box to adjust the LCN value of each Channel.
After the set-top box and the external display equipment are started, the set-top box calls the channel number played by the last time node last time, and the current program in the channel number is put on the external display equipment. When a user sends an instruction to the set-top box and needs to preview a program, the main controller 100 calls a signal in the program database in the storage module 500, specifically, in this case, only calls current broadcast information in a channel number currently being broadcast and program content to be broadcast at a next time node in the channel number, and displays the program content in the form of a program information bar, where the program information bar includes a broadcast time period, a program name, adult rating information of the current program, and a broadcast time period, a program name, and adult rating information of a next program, so that the user knows information being broadcast on the channel and program content to be broadcast.
When the user needs to preview programs of other channels, the main controller 100 sequentially calls the channel number information of adjacent LCN values according to the control instruction by sending a program add/subtract instruction to the instruction receiving module 400, and calls the playing basic information in the channel corresponding to the corresponding LCN value in the program database to display. Specifically, the main controller 100 acquires the event information table of the current program and the current/next event of the previous/next channel and updates the program information bar when receiving the program add/subtract instruction.
When the main controller 100 receives a command for confirming playing of a program, that is, when a current program of a selected current channel needs to be played, the main controller 100 accesses the front end of a television signal according to current program parameters of a program information bar, and acquires a playing source of a channel number corresponding to the current program from the front end of the television signal, after the playing source is acquired, the main controller 100 transmits the program signal to an external display device for playing, and simultaneously cuts off a playing command of the program information bar sent to the external display device, that is, the program information bar on a playing interface disappears, at this moment, a program preview process is finished, and a display picture is switched to a normal playing interface.
Referring to fig. 3 and fig. 4, before step S2, the method further includes:
s11: judging whether the time displayed by the program information bar exceeds the preset time, and if so, returning to the step S1; and if the preset time is not exceeded, the set top box receives a program adding/subtracting instruction or confirms a program playing instruction. The time of displaying the program information bar is the time of receiving one instruction or requesting to continuously display by the set top box. It should be noted that, each time the master 100 receives a new command or request, the process proceeds to step S11 to perform time determination, and only when a new command or request is received within a predetermined time, the process proceeds to the next idle mode. That is, after the set-top box enters the program preview program, if the main controller 100 does not receive a new command or request within a certain time, the set-top box will automatically exit the program preview program, so as to avoid a misoperation caused by a user sending a signal to the command receiving module 400 by mistake, or facilitate the user to automatically interrupt the program preview program when the user leaves or cannot continue inputting a command due to an emergency. Specifically, when the main controller 100 receives an instruction or a request every time, the main controller 100 performs time judgment in real time, that is, a timing and time comparison process is included, and when the main controller 100 receives a program preview request, a program adding/subtracting instruction is not received until a preset time is reached; or after the main controller 100 receives the program adding/subtracting instruction, the program playing confirmation instruction is not received when the preset time is reached, the set-top box quits the program preview program, and the display picture displays the original playing interface. Of course, when the master 100 does not receive a new command or request within a specified time, the currently displayed program information bar is continuously displayed, i.e. the current control mode or inquiry mode is still maintained.
The set-top box 10 for fast previewing the program guide and the control method thereof implement the invention, when the set-top box receives the program preview request, under the condition of keeping the current program playing, the event information table of the current program and the current/next event are called to form the program information bar for the user to preview, when the set-top box receives the program adding/subtracting command, the program information bar is updated, and the program content which is played currently is modified after receiving the command for confirming the playing of the program, in the whole process, the user can check what programs are played and what programs are to be played next through the program function bar, meanwhile, the user can also watch the current program continuously, namely, the fast previewing the playing guide of other programs and the channel switching playing can be realized under the condition that the user watching is not influenced by the channel switching, the system and the method have the advantages that the program preview and the current program watching function are taken into consideration, and the audio-visual experience of a user is effectively improved.
