As shown in Figure 1, the step 1.1 of a kind of limiting television-watching time method of the present invention is boot action.Start back television set enters normal operating conditions such as step 1.2.Afterwards, in step 1.3, whether television set key scan handling procedure monitor user ' has pushed the limit key of watching on the remote controller, if not, then continues monitoring; If yes, then start and watch the restriction setting program, open the setup menu of watching binding hours.In step 1.4, the user is provided with key the time on the remote controller of pushing the time of watching that limits is set.After the time that qualification is watched set, in step 1.5, user key-press was confirmed, withdraws from setting program, and the preservation user of system configures and limits the time of watching and enter timing program.In step 1.6, whether the continuous monitoring of software backstage loop control program arrives to set to limit is watched the time, watches the time in case arrive the qualification of setting, just carry out step 1.7, television set stops to play normal TV programme, enters such as blank screen, and state is watched in restrictions such as screen protection.After this, television set key scan handling procedure continues monitor user ' and whether has pushed the limit key of watching on the remote controller, if not, then television set is kept restriction and watched state; If yes, then withdraw from restriction and watch state, get back to step 1.2, recover the television set normal operating conditions.
Below in conjunction with Fig. 2, embodiment is described in detail to a kind of limiting television-watching time method of the present invention.At the newly-increased key of TV remote controller, and in program key definition that this is newly-increased for watching limit key, numerical key on the TV remote controller is defined as the time in watching the setup menu of binding hours key is set, in the menu of time is set, be defined as the acknowledgement key that the time is provided with the limit key of advancing above-mentioned of watching.
Behind the television boot-strap, program checks at first whether television set exists and watches limit setting, checks that as this for not, then television set enters normal operating conditions, can play TV programme.At this moment, whether television set key scan handling procedure monitor user ' has pushed the limit key of watching on the remote controller.If pushing, the user watches that limit key sends corresponding infrared command, infrared remote receiver on the television set receives that the command pulse that this signal is demodulated into behind the infrared modulated signal of this order pulse position modulation delivers to central processing unit (MCU), after central processing unit (MCU) was decoded to this life the present, start and watch the restriction setting program, access watch binding hours setup menu as shown in Figure 3, and wait for the TV user incoming timing time.TV user can be pushed numerical key on the remote controller time of watching of limiting (allow watch time) was set this moment, or switching (closes/30/60/ on the time default on the menu ... 300 minutes), after time set finishes, by watching that limit key withdraws from the setup menu of binding hours, the preservation user of system configures and limits the time of watching and enter timing program.
Timing program at regular intervals, is two minutes with the countdown that is as the criterion input time in the present embodiment, and the residue time of watching is stored in the memory preserves.Whether the time of watching that system's judgement limits arrives, and then continues to play TV programme if the time arrives, and whether the repetition judgement time arrives.If ac dump in this process can also be read the remaining time of watching after the start in memory.
After entering timing program, whether television set key scan handling procedure still monitor user ' has pushed the limit key of watching on the remote controller, as monitor the user and pushed the limit key of watching on the remote controller, just cancel original limit setting of watching, television set recovers normal operating conditions, normal play TV programme.
Before being about to arrive the time of watching that limits, the time of watching of preferably pointing out the user to limit will arrive.As wanting to cancel original limit setting of watching, can also watch that the limit key cancellation watches restriction as user at this moment, can not influence and continue to watch program by pushing remote controller.As shown in Figure 4, in the present embodiment, arrive last minute in the time of watching that limits, video screen shows a time prompting dialog box, and with 0-60 countdown second.The user has time enough decision whether to watch that by pushing remote controller the limit key cancellation watches restriction.When the time of watching that arrive to limit, the timer time is kept to zero, and television set stops to play TV programme, television image, sound accompaniment completely without, television set is in the blank screen state and shows " watches restriction! " warning mark as shown in Figure 5.
After this, system enters the shutdown countdown, the shutdown countdown time of present embodiment is 5 minutes, in these 5 minutes, whether television set key scan handling procedure still monitor user ' pushed the limit key of watching on the remote controller, as monitor the user and pushed the limit key of watching on the remote controller, just withdraws from restriction and watch state, television set recovers normal operating conditions, normal play TV programme.As entering in system in shutdown 5 minutes after the countdown, television set key scan handling procedure monitor less than the action of watching limit key on the remote controller, then shuts down automatically.
Mention above, behind the television boot-strap, program is checked at first whether television set exists and is watched limit setting.As the result of this inspection for being that then television set can not enter the normal operating conditions broadcast program immediately.Whether program will arrive first the former limit setting of memory check and also have residue to watch the time, watches the time as also having residue, just reads residue and watches the time, and watch that by residue the time timing plays TV programme; As the residue time of watching is zero, then directly enters and watches restriction state.TV was in the blank screen state and pointed out the user " to watch restriction this moment! ", can not play TV programme.
The user has only once more by the limit key of watching on the remote controller, and just can withdraw from and watch restriction state, the normal play program, this moment, this switch was inoperative, had so just reached to limit the purpose of watching.
How does the head of a family control children and televiews?
(1) at first sets the time with remote controller;
(2) head of a family is covered up remote controller;
(3) after the time of watching arrived, how again no matter TV switching on and shutting down all were in blank screen or screen protection and add the prompting state, and this switch is inoperative.
(4) have only the head of a family to take out remote controller again, push remote controller and watch limit key, watch that restriction could remove.
The general head of a family limits children and the time of watching can not surpass half a day, can random time (advising within five hours) on the binding hours principle, import by remote controller by the user.Time can be adopted digital input mode or Preset Time switching mode.
Program is at set intervals just storing into remaining time in the memory, do not arrive when the time of watching, can allow user's ac dump midway, again boot program is checked remaining time, if remaining time, non-vanishing the continuation watched also available switch normal running TV, so, the adult can be provided with at any time and watch restriction, sees the time that the people of TV also can freely arrange to see TV, and segmentation televiews in total limiting time scope.Watch that in addition restriction does not occur, and can't change the setting of watching restriction by this switch in user's main menu.
In order not change the structure of original TV remote controller, watch that limit key also can be the combination of original key on the TV remote controller; Time is provided with key and also can uses volume add-substract key on the TV remote controller.
For convenience children the head of a family set watch restriction after, in the time that the head of a family allows, utilize the remote controller control TV of this machine, this method also can be provided with one in addition and be separated with this set remote-controller of television set, independently watch the restriction remote controller.Watch only to need on the restriction remote controller to be provided with at this and watch that limit key and time is provided with key, perhaps even only be provided with and watch that limit key, time are provided with key and utilize correspondent button on this set remote-controller.This remote controller can be done very for a short time, is convenient to the head of a family and carries, and does not watch that this set remote-controller of limit key is then left children's use for.
The time of watching that above embodiment sets is a time period.Yet concerning the certain user, it is more convenient to import a concrete absolute time constantly.Because the not subsidiary real-time clock system of general television set, the time of this machine also is to be set in start by the user, if television set is turned off AC power, the system time of setting will be cleared.But in holding state, this machine time can preserve and operation always always, and particularly to the subsidiary television set that the real-time clock system is arranged, shutdown back system time can not change yet.So, also can adopt concrete absolute time constantly of input as watching the time of limiting, as the benchmark of this method operation.
This method implementation is simple, need not password, and the head of a family need not worry for forgetting Password.Here replace password with remote controller, become the key of opening TV, removed the worry that the user forgets Password, remote controller is concealed, simple to operate, there is not risk, in case user remote controller is lost, also have nothing to do with watching limitation function, producer is irrelevant with the production television set.
The Digital Television integral translation is being done in present many cities, and the user has had after the set-top box, and the remote controller of this machine of television set is out of use substantially, just in time can allow the head of a family bring restriction child TV reception.(television set under the AV input state, watch restriction still work)
This method and children's age has nothing to do in addition, if the great age does not have remote controller, can't teleview in the same old way, therefore can limit the adult too and televiewing.
