Embodiment
See also Fig. 3, it is the preferred embodiment function block diagram that improves a kind of digital multimedia broadcasting system that defective developed out of known technology for the present invention, it mainly is used as the backbone of transfer of data by a network 3, and file server 30 is connected on this network 3, data format with a mass storage in the file server 30 stores array digital multimedia packed data, and above-mentioned array digital multimedia packed data mainly is through the processing of a data compression coder 302 and form by many groups digital multimedia data 301.For instance, organize digital multimedia data 301 more and can be various digitized video voice data, and after the processing of the data compression coder of finishing through a for example MPEG-2 encoder 302, be stored in file server 30 again.Make file server 30 just can be considered to be the multifunction laser optic disk sheet (DVD disk) of an emulation, can just can be considered to be a part of multifunction laser optic disk video-audio data (partial DVDdata) by every group of digital multimedia packed data that leaves file server 30 in.The other end then can be provided with a plurality of digital multimedia players 31 and finish with network 3 and link to each other.And all can reading a certain group of part multifunction laser optic disk video-audio data (partial DVD data) independently from file server 30, plays each digital multimedia player 31.Give an example, this system builds and places in the airport, only need set up an ethernet local area network network or wireless network (being network 3) and a computer file server 30, and be placed with array part multifunction laser optic disk video-audio data (partial DVD data) in this computer file server 30, make this computer file server 30 on network, look like a large-capacity multifunctional videodisc sheet that has catalogue and can supply reading of data.Thus, build each digital multimedia player 31 that places different terminals respectively and just can independently read required part multifunction laser optic disk video-audio data (partial DVD data) and play, and reach the purpose that subregion is broadcast.
And part multifunction laser optic disk video-audio data (partial DVD data), referring to file server 30 does not need to wait for that producing the complete DVD data of a slice could begin to transmit image.30 of file servers need the generation data in several seconds, just can begin to be transferred to our media player.In transmission course, can produce down several seconds data again, wait former second to finish after, continuing spreads out of or the like.Thus, file server 30 can be in time from the image data end, as TV or video camera signal, the partial data that the information of obtaining converts the DVD form immediately to (partial DVD data), transmission is immediately broadcasted, in transmission course, produce next group partial data (partial data) again.This design is arranged, just can utilize native system to reach the application of timely image transmission fast.
See also Fig. 4 again, it is the built-in function block diagram of digital multimedia player 31, it consists predominantly of a network interface circuit 401, it is connected in this network 3 in order to signal, and the inside of digital multimedia player 31 mainly is to utilize a mass storage data/address bus 405 (common to be CD-ROM drive/Winchester disk drive bus, ATAPI/IDE BUS for example) carries out the binding of intermodule and the transmission of signal, and can be electrically connected with mass storages such as a mass storage emulation interface circuit 404 (when mass storage data/address bus 405, mass storage emulation interface circuit 404 just is one CD-ROM drive/Winchester disk drive emulation interface circuit) and a CD-disc read-write equipment 407 on the mass storage data/address bus 405.And control circuit 402 is electrically connected between this network interface circuit 401 and this mass storage emulation interface circuit 404, control circuit 402 can read in the array digital multimedia packed data that is stored in the computer file server 30 a certain group by this network interface circuit 401 and this network 3, and should organize the digital multimedia packed data and transfer to this mass storage data/address bus 405 by this mass storage emulation interface circuit 404, broadcast by display and loud speaker 408 by the decoding of digital multimedia packed data decoder 406 again.Generally can be a multifunction laser optic disk video-audio data decoder (DVDdecoder) with mass storage data bus interface (that common is CD-ROM drive/Winchester disk drive bus interface, for example ATAPI/IDE BUS Interface) as for this digital multimedia packed data decoder.High-speed cache 403 then can be deposited the data that some need be kept in for controller, for example the data directory in the computer file server 30.
Having, is the DVD data that file server 30 produces because the present invention uses again, but not entity DVD, so the space that the present invention can change is very big.But a general DVD reproduction time was about about two hours.If utilize above-mentioned means to relay a ball match, may relay half, the space of a virtual DVD uses up and can't continue.And the present invention also can comprise a technology and improves this phenomenon, is exactly when server produces the DVD data, and data are produced into two program fragments (track).DVD can specify, and when a program fragment (track) when finishing, begins to play another program fragment (track) automatically.Our method produces the program fragment (track) of two weak points exactly, for example each one minute (not necessarily wanting this length certainly).We earlier file server 30 make first one minute program fragment (track) image, begin then to play.Playing first minute program fragment when (track), server produces second program fragment (track) of one minute, broadcasts subsequently.We specify in the DVD data simultaneously, second finished in one minute after, first minute fragment is play in rebound.When playing second one minute fragment, server produces first fragment data of minute again.When intact second fragment of player plays, during first fragment of rebound, player can be asked for the data of first fragment place section (sector) via network to server.First fragment with initial broadcast is different for the data that this moment, server was sent.So between these two fragments, switch, just can utilize the finite data space of DVD to play the video-audio signal of unlimited time span.
In sum as can be known, digital multimedia player 31 among the present invention can utilize general DVD drive to reequip for the basis, only network interface circuit 401, control circuit 402, high-speed cache 403 and the mass storage emulation interface circuit 404 that need set up among Fig. 4 gets final product, even CD-disc read-write equipment 407 can be removed.Compare main frame and set-top box in the conventional means, because the relative low price of DVD drive, therefore manufacturing cost of the present invention can decline to a great extent, system complexity is also significantly simplified, and therefore can finish a with low cost but multiple functional digital multimedia content playing device really, and then realize main purpose of the present invention.And wireless network mainly also has specifications such as IEEE802.11a and IEEE 802.11g to use except that IEEE 802.11b, and so frequency range is just enough.Certainly the present invention can be appointed by those skilled in the art and executes the craftsman and think and do suitable modification, but it does not all break away from protection scope of the present invention.
