Abstract
The present invention relates to a user interface method for setting audio visual limit of digital TV. The method is characterized in that a digital TV receives TV programs or movie grade information, so images can be restrictively displayed when users accord with the set audio visual limit conditions; the method correspondingly set audio visual limit menus according to different grades for classifying the played movie and TV programs, and the programs can respectively set the audio visual limit; with different characteristics of the movie and TV programs, the method uses submenus according to ages and contents for further setting the audio visual limit, and the submenus can be displayed. The method changes a complicated grade system structure of the TV programs into simple structure. In order to easily distinguish and set the 54 grades and display the audio visual limit setting menus for the users, the method uses portraits and background colors to judge whether set the audio visual limit of each grade or not, and therefore, the method provides convenient user interfaces for the users.
Description
Technical field
The invention relates to the user interface techniques of Digital Television, particularly to the hierarchical system of the complexity of tv program, most of users can set the audiovisual restriction according to the difference of grade simply, and can show that it sets menu.In a word, the invention relates to the method for user interface (USER INTERFACE METHOD FOR SETTING RATINCK OF DIGITALTV) of setting Digital Television audiovisual restriction.
Background technology
At present, the multiple information that the televiewer obtains, great majority are come by the program information of television broadcasting.But, comprising the various class informations of tv program in the above-mentioned program information.
Therefore, the user interface that the user can provide by TV, the grade that oneself is liked is carried out the audiovisual restriction.
Promptly, if user oneself installs by the interface shape that TV provides the grade of setting the audiovisual restriction, so, TV just compares the program level of broadcasting in user installation value and the present channel, the program that is higher than installation value grade can not be shown or forces the user to enter password and limits its demonstration.
When particularly father and mother watch TV to restrict to children, use such function usually.
Now, the hierarchical system of many countries use such as the U.S., with we shown in Fig. 1 the same, can be divided into two kinds.A kind of is hierarchical system according to the TV-program of EIA-766 standard setting; Another kind is a MPAA hierarchical system of going up given movie in Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).
At first, the grade of TV program is divided into TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, reaches six kinds of TV-MA.
As a rule, the sorting technique of hierarchical system is divided into two classes substantially: a class is to be the method for benchmark with the age; Another kind of is to be the method for benchmark with contents such as violence, pornographic, terrors.Now, mostly to adopt with the age be the hierarchical system of benchmark for the TV program of the U.S. and film.This system more can obtain the favor of broadcaster and studio than its domestic consumer.
But the hierarchical system of above-mentioned with the age is benchmark is not only fuzzyyer in the judgement of content, and does not clearly introduce transmission sequence and be marked with the reason that spells out regulation works grade at TV.Therefore, the head of a family can only infer its content, so just to instructing child to watch TV to bring very big difficulty.Therefore such hierarchical system also enjoys censure.Promisingly again make it more perfect, when containing violence and terrified program, should be shown as TV-PG-L-V, but show TV-PG on the ordinary practice, therefore also just become insignificant setting.
Have the class information that the hierarchical system of Fig. 1 structure shows, with we shown in Fig. 2 equally be divided into 54 kinds altogether.
Fig. 2 has the pre-diagrammatic sketch of class information that the hierarchical system of above-mentioned Fig. 1 structure shows to be total up to 54 kinds, below each grade is done to describe in detail.
TV-Y (ALL Children): be not limited to the age, to all children, especially the children with 2-6 year are the program of main object.
TV-Y7 (Directed to Older Children): be applicable to the program of children more than 7 years old,, include and stain its quick-witted content (slight fanciness violence and the violence of humour) for less than 7 years old children.
If more serious fanciness violence will become TV-PG-FV (fantasyviolence) grade so.
TV-G (General Audience): be not limited to the program that the age can audiovisual, the content that comprises MIN violence and flirt, but do not comprise vulgar content.
TV-PG (Parental Guidance Suggested): advocate the program of watching, comprise scene (TV-PG S), and the vulgar words (TV-PG L) or the dialogue of flirting (TV-PG D) of to a certain degree violence (TV-PG V), certain property with father and mother.
TV-14 (Parents Strongly Cautioned): be not suitable for the program of watching, comprise the violence even more serious (TV-14 V), the scene (TV-14 S) of provoking, vulgar words (TV-L) or undisguised dialogue (TV-14 D) than TV-PG less than 14 years old children.
TV-MA (Mature Audiences Only): mainly be object with adult, be not suitable for the program of watching, include bloody violence (TV-MA V), disclosed pornographic action (TV-MA S) or serious terrified scene and violence language (TV-MA L) less than 17 years old children.
Film then utilizes G, PG that MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) distinguishes, PG-13, R, NC-17, X etc. as a reference.
Therefore, basic simulated television user can be with reference to the shown grade in TV upper end, directly guiding children is watched TV, but digital broadcasting recently can send the class information of tv program, so the setting audiovisual restriction interface window that the user can be built-in according to TV itself is automatically set the audiovisual restriction along with the difference of grade.
But above-mentioned hierarchical system is often in the majority with two kinds of hierarchical systems and usefulness person.This method because of the complicated structure of each hierarchical system makes most of users be difficult to understand perforation, adds that the menu of setting the audiovisual restriction is also complicated, and so just the setting that limits to audiovisual has brought very big difficulty.
That is, the grade of film has the character of 1 property that the difference according to the age changes, and therefore constituting the user interface of setting the audiovisual restriction can be very not difficult, but the grade of TV also is associated with its content except the age, therefore just has more complicated user interface.
Summary of the invention
Purpose of the present invention designs in order to solve above-mentioned variety of issue, a kind of method for user interface of setting Digital Television audiovisual restriction is provided, it is a kind of hierarchical system of the tv program at complexity, make most of users can set the audiovisual restriction simply, and can show the method for its setting menu according to grade.
The object of the present invention is achieved like this: this sets the method for user interface of Digital Television audiovisual restriction, technical essential is to utilize Digital Television to receive the class information of tv program or film, make the user when the condition of the audiovisual restriction that meets setting, can restrictively not show its image, correspondingly set audiovisual restriction menu at different grades, film and the tv program play are classified, make it can set the audiovisual restriction separately, utilize the different qualities of film and tv program, use submenu according to age and content, further set the audiovisual restriction, and submenu is shown.
The above explanation of forward like that, the present invention is that sophistication levels system construction with the TV-program is transformed to comparatively simply structure about the method for user interface of setting Digital Television audiovisual restriction.And show audiovisual limit setting menu in order to make the user can easily distinguish and set 54 kinds of grades, utilize portrait and background color to judge whether the audiovisual restriction of each grade is set, thereby provide user interface comparatively easily to the user.
