As follows to action specification as the channel control apparatus of above-mentioned Digital Television.
By the broadcast singal of tuner (101) reception with the form transmission of signal flow; The channel broadcasting signal of decoding is separated into image, sound and additional information by demultplexer (103) in channel decoders (102).
Program service information protocol PSIP (Program Service Information Protocol) can be understood as the set of the various particular element tables formations of digital television service usually.Program service information protocol PSIP packets of information in the digital stream of input, has with the program identification pid information stream of 0x1FFB and imports.The input of information flow is analyzed as can be known, and this information flow is that four kinds of tables constitute.
Four kinds of above-mentioned tables are the system time table STT (System Time Table) that constitute temporal information; Constitute the area grade table RRT (Rating Region Table) of class information by area classification; Main guide table MGT (Master Guide Table) with program identification pid information of the Event Information Table EIT (Event Information Table) that constitutes each program detail information; Also have, constitute virtual channel table VCT (Virtual Channel Table) in the radio frequency channel actual data information.
Therefore, the analytic process to program service information protocol PSIP data flow is described as follows
At first, system finds out has program contacts list PAT information flow, and these data are transmitted control part formation table; After constituting program contacts list pat table, in information flow with 0x1FFB address, find out virtual channel table VCT (Virtual Channel Table) after, whether the information of distinguishing current input is program service information protocol PSIP.Then, constitute Event Information Table EIT after finding out the information flow that constitutes Event Information Table EIT.
On the contrary, the information flow made from video compression standard MPEG2 specification is to be made of following table: the program contacts list PAT (Program Association Table) with program map table program identification pid information; The program map table PMT (ProgramMap Table) that in current radio frequency channel data stream, comprises with programme information; Also have, have the formations such as Event Information Table EIT of each program detail information.
That is, image, sound and additional information stream by demultplexer (103) separates are input to test section (201), and virtual channel table VCT are carried out syntactic analysis with syntactic analyser.Carry out syntactic analysis by virtual channel table VCT and obtain program identification pid information, and utilize the program identification pid information corresponding to image, sound and additional information, can separate picture, sound and additional information.
At this moment, if the channel by channel decoders (102) decoding is the sound dedicated channel, then there is not image programs identification pid information in test section (201) testing result, only there is sound programme identification pid information, for the channel that carries out this channel faster switches, can select program request (Juke) kit function so.
That is,, then when user's switching channels, in the sound dedicated channel,, picture is shown as shown in Fig. 4 if the user has selected program request (Juke) kit function.At this moment, the user has selected to jump puts order, does not then cancel the sound dedicated channel and is transferred to next channel.
If do not jumping to one's heart's content audiovisual sound dedicated channel under the condition, then in the sound dedicated channel among the Event Information Table EIT, the image of program request (Juke) the box-like attitude that forms after the syntactic analysis is carried out in utilization to the information among the Event Information Table EIT, can limit audiovisual current broadcast information, the channel setting function is carried out on the limit.
As said method, not only can be applied on the sound dedicated channel, and, also can be applied on reality (Physical) channel with very how little channel.
To digital TV channel control method of the present invention, be described as follows with reference to Fig. 3: at first, if imported the power connection order, then the channel that the user is selected carries out tuning (S101 ∽ S102).
And, judge whether the user has imported channel change command (S103).
Then, if above-mentioned judged result (S103) user has imported channel change command, judge so whether the channel that switches is sound dedicated channel (S104).
If above-mentioned judged result (S104) then switches to the channel of hope for the channel that switches is not the sound dedicated channel, and the image and the sound of the channel that switches exported (S105 ∽ S106).
In addition, if the channel that above-mentioned judged result (S104) is switched is the sound dedicated channel, judge whether to have set program request (Juke) box pattern (S107) so.
Then, if above-mentioned judged result (S107) is provided with program request (Juke) box pattern, all channels of then corresponding sound dedicated channel, the screen display OSD pattern with program request (Juke) box-like attitude shows (S108).
Then, the user has judged whether to import the order (S109) that jumping is put on the screen display OSD that is shown.
Then, put order, after the sound dedicated channel carries out redirect so, it is switched to other channels and the channel that switches is shown (S110 ∽ S111) if judged result (S109) is jumped for the user has imported.
In addition, do not put order, then control sound dedicated channel (S113) according to program request (Juke) box adjusted if above-mentioned judged result (S109) user imports to jump.
And, if above-mentioned judged result (S107) is the sound dedicated channel, but do not set program request (Juke) box pattern, then channel is switched one by one, and the channel that switches is shown (S114 ∽ S115) according to user's input.
Then, the user imports the power-off order, then finishes (S112).
As above-mentioned, be the starting point to be placed on digital broadcasting can transmit many little channels to an actual channel this point develop based on the channel device and method of Digital Television of the present invention.To the sound dedicated channel, provide and have as program request (Juke) box function, the user can on program request (Juke) the box picture with cursor on/down/left side/right side moves, so the user more easily selects the channel of own hope, thereby the convenience in the use is provided.And,, and, also can set program request (Juke) kit function to there being the channel of many little channels not only to the sound dedicated channel.
