Embodiment
Combined with hardware block diagram and software flow pattern describe the present invention in detail:
The present invention is at first by geographic name and professional platform number coding to each channel, thus corresponding definite channel identification code; Selected more a certain geographic name press the sequencing inputting channel number that television set can search for the maximum channels that are provided with, and makes ordered retrieval, and the channel identification code through storing with data storage EEPROM compares, and is stored in the microcontroller MCU behind the channel that affirmation is correlated with; By the selected geographic name of desiring to watch of remote controller, directly show by retrieval and the channel correlation of having stored switches.
As shown in Figure 1: realize that hardware block diagram of the present invention comprises: tuner, the data storage EEPROM of storage of channel code and Vt information, microcontroller MCU, the decoding chip that is used for visual demodulation, colour decoding, deflection driven and receives the information that sends by MCU, the video amplifier, display CRT, integrated circuit (IC) bus I
2C BUS.
After finishing search step, can determine all programme channels that the user can watch, and each channel includes channel, geographic name, professional platform number (from station symbol shown on the screen angle) three partial contents that the corresponding channel information of being determined by circuit and user can directly see from video screen, and is stored in the data storage EEPROM.In existing problem before the present invention is that the user is when selecting switching channels, because of the inconvenience that increases of channel.
Channel identification code described in the coding step can be pre-at random if worked out voluntarily according to the channel of finishing after search is provided with by the user.With the geographic name in the set channel predicable (channel+geographic name+professional platform number) is that X-axis (or Y-axis), professional platform number are Y-axis (or X-axis), respectively geographic name, professional platform order are provided the two digits coding: geographic name is as central authorities, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, this locality (city), below arrange with pinyin order, correspondence provides code 00,01,02,03,04......; Specialty platform Ru Yitai, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, education 1, education 2, wired 1, wired 2, news, physical culture, the world etc., correspondence provides code 00,01,02,03,04......; On coordinate, can draw corresponding channel identification code, as: the channel identification code 0000 that central authorities are, channel identification code 0112 of Beijing news station or the like.Should be noted that manual search may cause the program of current channel to be compared with automatic search and change, need reaffirm or revise.Software can convert this channel identification code to channel, geographic name and professional platform number among the MCU, so that switch during user search.
As shown in Figure 2: " menu " key that the user presses on the remote controller continuously enters the channel identification code input menu, this moment, video screen showed current channel, press on the remote controller " numeral " key inputting channel code one by one, confirm by " affirmation " key, deposit the channel identification code of having imported in EEPROM, call when retrieving fully, change next channel simultaneously automatically over to.Withdraw from by " menu " key, vernier is moved to the position that will revise, revise by " numeral " key again by " direction (or volume) " key.
As shown in Figure 3, Figure 4: the order of at first pressing province, provincial capital, city in the searching step, selected a certain geographic name, the sequencing inputting channel of all channels that can search for by television set number (can be 100 for the maximum channels that are provided with among Fig. 3), relatively whether the pairing geographic name of channel identification code stored in EEPROM of this geographic name and channel and professional platform be number consistent, the "Yes" storage, "No" enters succeeding channel number and continues relatively, finally obtains relevant with selected geographic name by the tactic channel of channel.The vernier position of preserving when from EEPROM, reading shutdown, initial position when entering, at the different removable verniers of " direction " key, read the pairing geographic name of vernier position and professional platform number from EEPROM, the order of indicated channel tabulation is to economize platform (sequencing of press channel is arranged), provincial capital's platform (press the sequencing arrangement of channel), city's platform of this province (pressing the sequencing arrangement of channel) more earlier.Each page or leaf shows at most 9 row, when the channel of this area more than 9, Pagination Display then.When the user moves to last column with vernier, press " program-" key, show one page down automatically, the selection of channel is carried out according to the loop of a closure.The user in the vernier moving process, shows the channel list of corresponding area by " direction " key positioned cursor on map in real time, does not have corresponding channel if retrieve this area, then shows as Fig. 6.If the channel identification code of user's input of preservation is arranged, show that then (corresponding Guangdong Province shows satellite TV, Zhujiang River platform by channel 11,42 orders as Fig. 5; Corresponding provincial capital platform Guangzhou shows Guang Zhoutai by channel 21; Corresponding Shen Zhentai then shows physical culture, one by channel 12,13 orders).The user enters channel list with " affirmation " key, and the channel of selecting by " program+/-" key to desire to watch switches to corresponding channel by " volume+" key or " affirmations " key, presses " volume-" key and returns.
The present invention shows as interactive interface with map, enter by " navigation " key that is provided with on the remote controller, screen display goes out to indicate national each province, the map of China of municipality directly under the Central Government's title (being equivalent to the one-level menu), by " direction " key moving cursor on map on the remote controller, the channel place province that sensing is desired to watch, provincial capital, the city, automatically eject one on the screen right side and be listed as this province, or provincial capital, or the city all search and through the channel (being equivalent to second-level menu) of user's inputting channel code, vernier is moved to the channel of desiring to watch by " affirmation " key again, enter by " volume+" key or the switching of " affirmation " key, return by " volume-" key and reset.
In the above-mentioned implementation process: " navigation " key by remote controller enters, selected geographic name, and order accesses the relevant channel of having preserved in the channel of all settings, presses the order in province, provincial capital, city earlier, arranges with channel order to show again, switches for the user.Thus can also some TV stations with same characteristic features sort out and constitute embodiment: as with the highest Channel 1 on China Central Television (CCTV) to eight of national coverage rate; With the highest this locality (platform) of average audience ratings; With professional platforms such as satellite TV's platform, video display platform, education platforms is same characteristic features, and concrete scheme is as follows.
As shown in Figure 7: " central authorities " key is set on remote controller as shortcut.Flow process with reference to Fig. 3 is being to preserve CCTV's channel correlation of confirming through all channel order retrievals in the microcontroller MCU, by " central authorities " key, directly show that all search and through the CCTV of user's inputting channel code one to eight channel list menu, the television channel that user's selection is desired to watch enters by " volume " key or the switching of " affirmation " key.
Practical operation and demonstration: from EEPROM, read the channel relevant with the CCTV, on menu, list the geographic name of all place, CCTV channels and professional platform number by channel order in the tabulation, the user enters by " central authorities " shortcut, MCU reads the user is stored in EEPROM with input CCTV's channel identification code automatically, and the sequencing of pressing channel shows, the user enters corresponding channel by " volume " key or the switching of " affirmation " key, withdraws from by " central authorities " key again.
As shown in Figure 8: because the quantity of MCU OSD limits, national all regions can not be shown with Chinese character, thereby adopt " this locality " this general pronoun, can make a general reference the title of user location.Setting " this locality " key is pressed this key as shortcut on remote controller, ejects all this locality (city) television channel lists of user's input, and the television channel that user's selection is desired to watch enters by " volume " key or the switching of " affirmation " key.
Practical operation and demonstration: from EEPROM, read and local (city) corresponding channel information, in menu list, list the channel and the platform name at all local station places by channel order.The user enters by " local (city) " key, and MCU reads the corresponding channel of user automatically.
For professional platforms such as video display platform, satellite TV's platform, education platforms,, can show directly that relevant channel switches selection for the user by corresponding teleswitch is set.
