Description

A kind of method by file system access wheel multicast data
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method, be meant a kind of technology of in apparatus of digital television receiving, data being carried out random access and effectively extracting especially based on data carousel form and protocol technology by file random access wheel multicast data.Belong to Digital Television reception technique field.
Background technology
The apparatus of digital television receiving general reference can receive, decodes and show the hardware device of digital television signal, and it is applied to digital TV field, is the terminal (see figure 1) that the simulated television digitlization is achieved.What apparatus of digital television receiving received is digitized image and data message, therefore, be different from the reception and the processing of traditional anolog TV signals, apparatus of digital television receiving is to be undertaken by its inner CPU and coupled peripheral components to the reception and the processing of digitized image information and data.Receiving system is exactly to develop the application program that apparatus of digital television receiving is suitable on the basis of relevant hardware and operating system; Equally, some professional digital broadcast content service providers also need to go out corresponding service software according to the hardware performance and the functional development of different apparatus of digital television receiving.
In the broadcasting equipment of TV station or television operator, audio-video signal mixes with the multiplexer of data content through front end, forms transport stream (TS stream).Transport stream forms electromagnetic signal through ovennodulation and is sent in the apparatus of digital television receiving.Apparatus of digital television receiving (set-top box) work principle is as follows:

The front control board is partly explained by receiving the user command that remote controller, Wireless Keyboard or front panel send.
Video bit stream mixes with image through image processor mutually with audio bit stream, becomes the audio-video signal of simulation, outputs on the display screen (television set).Data flow then flow among the CPU by demodulation multiplexer, is handled by the system program of going up operation at central processing unit (CPU).The result who handles can mix with audio/video flow, outputs on the display device.
Digital Television has increased the lot of data business on the basis of original audio frequency and video business, data are broadcast to apparatus of digital television receiving with digital television signal by the mode that TS flows by the circulation of wheel broadcast mode.The data carousel technology is stipulated according to ISO/IEC13818-6 standard DSM-CC technology.The data carousel mode mainly contains two kinds of data carousel and object carousels.The data carousel that digital television broadcasting is used is based upon on the DSM-CC data carousel basis, and the data in the rotating disk send with the form of module, and each module is divided into the identical data block of a plurality of sizes again.The object carousel that digital television broadcasting is used is based upon on the DSM-CC object carousel basis, and each rotating disk is represented a special service-domain, and this territory is made of DSM-CC U-U object set, and these objects comprise file, catalogue, incident and stream incident.According to the ISO/IEC13818-6 standard, the data carousel agreement uses message to come encapsulation of data and control information, the bibliographic structure information of the data of broadcasting is transmitted by data form DSI (DownloadServerInitiate) message and DII (DownloadInfoIndirection) message, the data file of reality is put into the defined DownloadDataBlock of data carousel agreement (DDB) message transmit.In a data carousel, except that last data block of each module, all data blocks of module all have same length.Module is the independently set of data in logic, and a plurality of modules can be formed a group (Group), and a plurality of groups (Group) then forms one super group (SuperGroup).The DSI message semantic definition information of the group in super group; The DII message semantic definition information of module in the group.Which module receiving equipment can determine to receive according to control messages.The form of broadcasting of wheel multicast data is seen Fig. 1.
In the computing technique in modern times, the institutional framework of data generally realizes by file system.Virtual File System (VFS) is a kind of file system organization structure technology commonly used.And at digital TV field, because the data of broadcasting by the DSM-CC mode are the form broadcasting by list structure, how will take turns multicast data and combine with the VFS file system with associating and do not have specific technology at present.
No matter be that data carousel method or object carousel method can both transmit data by the mode that wheel is broadcast.Yet, obtain these data, they instant loadings need be deposited in the buffer memory.But for the application that needs use these data, said method inconvenience very is consuming time loaded down with trivial details.
Method of the present invention is exactly the solution that proposes at the deficiency of conventional art.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is a kind of method of file system access wheel multicast data.The benefit of this method is by a data buffering area is set at apparatus of digital television receiving, the wheel that passes through that obtains from the digital TV data signal is broadcast the storage of protocol transmission in the data buffer zone, data buffer zone and file system link, directly with the mode visit data of ordinary file, take turns loaded down with trivial details that multicast data obtains during application thereby eliminate.
The present invention is resolved above problem by following technical scheme.Method of the present invention is to set a kind of buffer memory, by traditional file system (as by Virtual File System VFS) therewith buffer memory be associated, when needs obtain the wheel multicast data, only need open and read corresponding file, thereby convenient the use improved the reaction speed and the data utilization ratio of apparatus of digital television receiving.
Describe technical scheme of the present invention below in detail.
The step of this method:
The invention provides a kind of transmission method, obtain data by the mode of directory file system based on the DSM-CC rotating disk.No matter be DSM-CC data carousel agreement (Data Carousel) or object carousel agreement (Object Carousel), this method all is suitable for for them.The difference of these two kinds of agreements just is embodied in the difference of data load mode.Be that example illustrates how to set up buffer memory and file system is associated with taking turns multicast data with data carousel (or claim data carousel) below, thereby reach the purpose of effectively obtaining data by file system.
Carry out the loading of DSM-CC wheel multicast data, and they and file system carried out related, following several submodule is generally arranged:
1. Service Gateway: be responsible for providing external common interface, and the task of coordinating this each module of system is carried out;
2. Cache: be responsible for the relevant file data of storage, and provide and search and delete function;
3. DSM FS:DSM file system provides with the topmost paper system and carries out related operation-interface.
The effect of Cache (buffer memory): cache is used for the data that access has been loaded, and makes to need not loading data frequently.When Carousel of buffer memory, with at first receiving all DSI and DII message, whole file system structure buffer memory is got off, but during certain file of application call, from channel, obtain, and buffer memory gets off temporarily.After using a file and being closed, its shared internal memory already can be released.The structure of Cache is with the elementary cell of DDB as buffer memory, the corresponding Group chained list of Carousel, and each Group node points to a Module chained list, and each Module node points to a DDB chained list.The structure of Cache is seen Fig. 3.
Related (DSM FS) with file system: DSM-CC data cache itself is a file system sanctified by usage not, the convenience of obtaining for data, should the Cache data are related with a file system, make and can visit data by file system.The institutional framework of the file system on upper strata does not need identical with organizing of Cache.Need necessary data structure of defined file system relationship and function DSM-CC and the file system (as VFS).
Below by accompanying drawing method of the present invention is described further.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the block diagram of digital television devices work.Digital television signal enters receiving equipment, through the processing of demodulation Multiplexing module, audio-video signal and data-signal is separated, and event information data entrained in the data-signal is used to be presented at television screen through handling and storage.
Fig. 2 has shown the institutional framework of wheel multicast data.In data carousel, the data of transmission are stored in the module (Module); And each module is divided into plurality of data piece (Block).In a data carousel, except that last data block of each module, all data blocks of module all have same length.Module is the independently set of data in logic, and a plurality of modules can be formed a group (Group), and a plurality of groups (Group) then forms one super group (SuperGroup).The data carousel agreement uses message to come encapsulation of data and control information.Data are carried by DDB message; Control is then by DII, and message such as DSI are carried.The DSI message semantic definition information of the group in super group; The DII message semantic definition information of module in the group.Which module receiving equipment can determine to receive according to control messages.
Fig. 3 has shown the structure of file system.In the present invention, the Flash module is as a driving of file system, and it is the readable memory module of writing; DSMCC drives as another of file system, and it is readable and can not write, because it is a system that the circulation wheel is broadcast, it is nonsensical writing.
Fig. 4 has shown the modular structure of DSM-CC data and related with file system.The Org.dvb.dsmcc module need be taken turns certain by SG interface indication and be broadcast (Carousel) and be loaded into Cache.VFS just can carry out the visit of data by the common mathematical function of file system then.
Fig. 5 has shown that the institutional framework of Cache: Cache adopts level memory structure, press DSI (Carousel Node)->DII (Group Node)->Module classifies.
The present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with concrete embodiment.
