TV and electronic program list display packing thereof
Technical field
The invention relates to TV, especially about TV and electronic program list display packing thereof.
Background technology
Below, with reference to accompanying drawing, describe traditional TV and control method thereof in detail.As shown in Figure 1, the TV of conventional art is made up of following part.That is, be provided with the keyboard input part (graphical sysmbol omission) that the user is used for importing electronic program list idsplay order and limiting broadcast grade; Be provided with broadcast singal from the outside input, promptly by the transport stream of multipleization (Transport Stream) information, be used for the multiple multiple separated part (10) that is separated into sound (Audio), image (Video) and additional information (Serviceinformation); Also be provided with sound and image information, be used for being decoded into the A/V decoder (20) of acoustic information, image information multiple separation; Also be provided with the acoustic processing portion (30) that the acoustic information after the decoding is converted to sound; Also be provided with the image processing part (40) that the image information after the decoding is converted to image; Also be provided with to from the additional information of multiple separation, isolating the data separating unit (50) of each channel information; Also be provided with the channel information database (60) that storage is separated; Also be provided with by the electronic program list idsplay order and go to control the demonstration of being deposited channel information, and, remove to cut off relevant sound and image information control part (70) according to the limiting broadcast grade of importing.
Conventional art TV with said structure is, at first, because from the broadcast message of outside input is with sound, image information and the additional information information of multipleization in addition, therefore multiple separated part (10) receives after the broadcast message of multipleization, go to carry out multiple separation, and sound and image information outputed to A/V decoder (10), also the additional information of each channel is outputed to data separating unit (20).At this moment, said additional information (Service Information) is by PAT (Program Association Table), TDT (Time Date Table)/TOT (Time OffsetTable), EIT (Event Information Table) wait and form.In more detail, PAT is the information relevant with relevant a plurality of programs, and TDT/TOT is the current time information of relevant each program, and EIT is the information of catalogue, outline, limiting broadcast grade, beginning/concluding time and the reproduction time etc. of relevant each program.
A/V decoder (20) will be deciphered the sound and the image information that receive, and decoded acoustic information converts sound to by acoustic processing portion (30); Image information then converts image to by image processing part (40).
In addition, data separating unit (50) will be isolated EIT information from additional information, promptly isolate a plurality of programme informations of each channel, and store database (60) separately into by established form.
Stored data according to user's instruction, will provide by electronic program list (ElectronicProgram Guide) picture.As shown in Figure 2, will provide the channel directory of a plurality of channels, current time information, exercise question (A), reproduction time (B), outline (C) wait current (Current) information of each channel and the information of the next one (Next) program.In addition, when setting the limiting broadcast grade by the user, control part (70) reads the EIT information of each channel from database (60), and selects the limiting broadcast grade from the information that reads.According to the result that the limiting broadcast grade to selected limiting broadcast grade and setting compares, remove to control sound and image processing part (30,40), remove to cut off sound and the image that surpasses the limiting broadcast grade program that is set.The TV control method that carries out the conventional art of work by above-mentioned method is described as follows.At first, shown in following table 1, each program of a plurality of channels, sensational property and violence nature degree according to sound and image, has corresponding limiting broadcast grade, and the limiting broadcast class information of each program (for example, 16 system numeric data codes), will be included in sound and the together received additional information of image information in.

Embodiment
TV tech of the present invention and structure, though it is similar with traditional technology and structure, but after by keyboard input part (graphical sysmbol omission) input electronic program list idsplay order, limiting broadcast grade according to user's setting, remove to constitute the channel information that is stored in the database (60) again, and control the control part (70) that reconstituted channel information shows on electronic program list, different.At this moment, the graphical sysmbol of each part will use the mark identical with conventional art.TV of the present invention from play the sound and the image information process of each channel according to the limiting broadcast grade of being set by the user, is identical with the process of conventional art at first, is therefore omitted.
At this moment, if the user has imported the electronic program list idsplay order, after control part (70) is discerned this instruction so, the channel information that is stored in the database (60) is reconstructed.If, the limiting broadcast grade that each program has, if more than the limiting broadcast grade that the user sets, the present invention incites somebody to action not displays program information on electronic program list so.At length, control part (70) from stored channel information, promptly in the programme information separately of a plurality of channels, is selected out earlier the limiting broadcast grade; If this program grade of selecting more than the limiting broadcast grade of setting, does not so just remove to show this programme information; If below the limiting broadcast grade of setting, so just get on to show this programme information at electronic program list.In addition, the electronic program list menu screen of being made up of reconstituted channel information will be shown.
Below, the TV electronic program list display packing of the present invention of carrying out work by above-mentioned process is described.
At first, suppose to be set by the user the limiting broadcast grade in order to limit a part of broadcast program.As shown in Figure 5, remove to judge whether the user has clicked ' electronic program list demonstration ' button (S100) earlier; Judged result (S100) is if clicked ' electronic program list demonstration ' button, so just substitution integer 1 (S110) in program indexing (Index).Then, program indexing is 1, promptly in each program of a plurality of channels, removes to select the limiting broadcast class information (S120) of top line.Whether the limiting broadcast grade that judgement selection goes out is below the limiting broadcast grade of setting (S130); The result (S130) who judges if the limiting broadcast grade of selecting out is below the limiting broadcast grade of setting, so just shows the information (S140) of top line on electronic program list.Then, judge whether that the programming limit grade that finishes all channels of TV has carried out selecting (S150); The result (S150) who judges if the programming limit grade of all channels of TV is finished to select as yet, so just increases program indexing (S160) one by one, and with its feedback (FeedBack) to (S120) stage, above-mentioned repeatedly again process.
In addition, the result (S130) who judges, if the limiting broadcast grade of selecting, be more than the limiting broadcast grade of setting, so as shown in Figure 6, indicated channel catalogue in the same old way just, and delete programme information (for example catalogue of program (A) and outline (C) part) on the electronic programming single-image perhaps shows ' information (S170) of PROGRAM LOCK '.Then, feed back to (S150) stage, repeatedly said process.
TV electronic program list display packing is with the programme information of the limiting broadcast grade that is higher than user's setting, deletes from the electronic programming single-image, perhaps shows given information deletion.In addition, in each program of a plurality of channels, will be higher than the programme information of the limiting broadcast grade of user's setting, and as shown in Figure 7, corresponding channel be deleted afterwards row again show from channel directory.
For instance, in Fig. 6, if ' the current program of MBC TV ' (Current Program), be more than the limiting broadcast grade of setting, so with ' MBC TV ' title is stayed in the channel directory, and the catalogue of current program and outline deletion, perhaps shows given information.On the contrary, as shown in FIG. 7, can also make in channel directory, ' MBC TV ' title is also deleted, and in during current program broadcasts, all relevant ' programme information of MBC TV ', the electronic program list display packing that will not show.Yet, under the situation of Fig. 7, if the next program of ' MBCTV ' channel (Next Program), if below the limiting broadcast grade of setting, so, when having arrived next program broadcasting time, just ' information of MBC TV ' title and respective program will show again.And TV of the present invention and electronic program list display packing thereof can not only be cut off the sound and the image information of TV according to the limiting broadcast grade of user's setting, and the corresponding additional information that provides to the electronic programming single-image can also be provided.
