Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to the IPTV and the field of interactive television of Digital Television, is to handle electronic program list with a kind of brand-new colour multi-dimensional interface and multi-dimensional programme attribute tree technology, has created a kind of complete different personalized television and has watched mode.
Background technology
Digital Television is with the digitlization in addition of traditional anolog TV signals, pass through digitized wired or wireless digital transmission network with digital signaling, digitized TV signal is sent on the TV signal transducer in the subscriber household, is referred to as set-top box usually.By set-top box digital television signal is reduced into anolog TV signals again and is sent on the general television set, or directly digital television signal is sent on the digital television.Present Digital Television is different and be divided into two major types basically according to the type of digital transmission network.First type is digital television broadcasting, is commonly called as DVB, is the abbreviation of Digital Video Broadcasting.The Digital Television of another kind of type is IPTV, is the Digital Television of transmitting on the communication network that foundation internet communication agreement is set up.Since be TV, its basic receiving terminal should be a general television set.But because the internet communication protocol IP is the abbreviation of InternetProtocol, and therefore the Internet genesis, also just there is no need display of television programmes eliminating on computers outside IPTV from pc world.IPTV can translate into internet television, Web TV, broadband television, telecomputer etc.IPTV and DVB digital television broadcasting maximum different are user's interactive when TV reception and between the TV programme, or be referred to as interactivity, that is to say, each IPTV user can be controlled at when watch which type of TV programme at any time, and it watches that form is personalized.And " broadcasting " two words are arranged in the DVB digital television broadcasting title, i.e. Broadcasting, this has just determined that also the DVB digital television broadcasting is to be broadcasted by a program source, the passive broadcasting form of watching of a plurality of recipients.Therefore, for radio and television, user's program that platform broadcasts that can only teleview oneself wants to see that TV station but not have the program of broadcast and can't see.Therefore interactive and interactivity is the soul of IPTV, is the not available interactive feature of DVB digital television broadcasting.Colour multi-dimensional electronic programme technology involved in the present invention is more complicated than the common electronic program list that adopts of DVB digital television broadcasting, and the interactive attribute of described electronic program list is that IPTV is peculiar.
Digital Television has 30 frame pictures each second, and any instantaneous interruption can not be arranged in playing process.In order to guarantee the program quality of Digital Television, require digital transmission network that enough point-to-point network bandwidths of monopolizing are arranged.Therefore common the Internet can't provide this type of point-to-point network bandwidth of monopolizing out of common level, enough point-to-pointly to monopolize the Digital Television of transmitting on the digital communication network of the network bandwidth in order distinguishing having, and to be referred to as interactive TV especially.Interactive TV and IPTV are the TV broadcast technology that realizes by the IP technology, and its differentiation only is that interactive TV is a TV service business, emphasizes to guarantee transmission bandwidth; And IPTV is the broad band value-added service of a telecommunications the Internet by the internet transmission TV programme, is difficult to guarantee the television transmission bandwidth.Basic principle of the present invention is derived from the research of interactive TV, the substantive issue that solves is to allow the user grasp and operate the interaction function of TV programme as the means of most convenient how, so be named as " colour multi-dimensional electronic programme of interactive TV and multi-dimensional programme attribute tree technology ".But the present invention is not only applicable to interactive TV, equally is applicable to all Network Transmission TV applications based on IP (Internet Protocol) technology such as IPTV, Web TV, broadband television yet; Both be applicable to wired IP communication network, also be applicable to wireless IP communication network; Both be applicable to television set, also be applicable at other any receiving terminals that interaction capability can be provided such as computer, mobile phones.
No matter be interactive TV, or IPTV, all clear and definite definition of neither one at present.What is meant by interaction? interactive to what stage, just can be referred to as interactive TV? never the people what attempts to define is interactive TV.Someone in addition say simulated television remote controller switching channels, be not interactive yet? also the someone thinks that the DVB digital television broadcasting can select to watch weather information and automobile railway timetable by remote controller, be not interactive yet? answer is negated beyond doubt, interactive TV is a kind of and the complete different Digital Television of traditional tv, and interactive TV will change the human traditional habit that televiews.Each interactive TV user at any time can be as making a phone call, and receives and watch and others different personalized television program, and can implement TV programme and suspend, and continues F.F., rewind down, operations such as stepping.Even watch the live telecast channel, the interactive TV user also can carry out live program by remote controller at any time and suspend, and continues F.F., rewind down and stepping.The interactive TV user can record any TV programme of oneself liking by the remote controller request, and afterwards whenever watch these programs.How to make above-mentioned these complexity, watch that with traditional tv the complete different interactive operation of mode is received by the ordinary people and uses, a convenient man-machine interface of using just must be arranged, Here it is colour multi-dimensional electronic programme and multi-dimensional programme attribute tree that the present invention created.The present invention is the requisite technology of interactive TV development.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to be technology and to show that with different color plane on television set electronic program list closes multi-dimensional programme attribute tree with multidimensional coordinate, the interactive TV user only need be used a teleswitch go up several simple key-press, just can understand and grasp the interactive attribute and the programme attribute of TV programme easily, personalized select oneself to want the TV programme seen.
The invention provides a kind of colour multi-dimensional electronic programme of interactive TV, comprising: first dimension is used to represent television channel; Second dimension, time dimension is used to represent the reproduction time of channel shown in first dimension; Described time dimension is divided into a plurality of periods, and described time dimension and described frequency dimension constitute a two-dimensional coordinate system; Described channel dimension is used for the display program title with the crosspoint of described time dimension on coordinate plane; The attribute of described program comprises interest attribute and interactive attribute, and described interest attribute uses different color showings with interactive attribute.Can also comprise the third dimension, be used to represent the date.The interest attribute of described program comprises attribute interested and the attribute of loseing interest in; The attribute of loseing interest in of no colour specification program; With the attribute interested that the colour specification program is arranged.
But the interactive attribute of program comprises program request attribute, ageing program request attribute and time shift attribute.But represent the program request attribute of program with yellow, represent the ageing program request attribute of program, ask the time shift attribute of program with light blue color table with light red.
Programme attribute is a fourth dimension, and described electronic program list also comprises the 5th dimension, the collection number of expression program.
The present invention also comprises a multi-dimensional programme attribute tree, the corresponding respective program that is endowed different attribute of each the sheet leaf on the described attribute tree.

Embodiment
Following elder generation does a concise and to the point description to each accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of color electric programme.User's " interested " program is endowed color, and the program that the user " loses interest in " does not have color.On a two-dimensional plane electronic program list, adopt different colors to reach the purpose of representing different interactive attributes, the user can be understood how own programs of interest is carried out different interactive operations.
Fig. 2 is color three dimension tridimensional electronic programme 40.All users " lose interest in ", and to have constituted " the interactive attribute of program " digital value be zero two dimensional surface electronic program list for the set of program.All to have constituted " the interactive attribute of program " digital value be 1 two dimensional surface electronic program list in the set of " but program request " program.The set of expressing all digital values of different interactive attributes has constituted a new three-dimensional system of coordinate 40.A reference axis that increases newly is " the interactive attribute of program " 42.In this cube any is the intersection point of three coordinates, defined some specific interactive attributes 48 that TV programme had.
Fig. 3 is with " date " the tridimensional electronic programme 50 as the third dimension.This tridimensional electronic programme is actually the page 52 of a folded two dimensional surface electronic program list, overlaps one by one to be formed.Specify a specific date value, just can from this folded page, extract a two dimensional surface electronic program list 52 out.
Fig. 4 is a multi-dimensional programme attribute tree 60.Define user's " interested " program, promptly in colour multi-dimensional electronic programme, be endowed the program of color, be the leaf 62 of multi-dimensional programme attribute tree.Leaf has one group of second line of a couplet, promptly collects several 70.Leaf has a plurality of first line of a couplet, and promptly categorical attribute 64.Attribute can have the new first line of a couplet again, and promptly node 72.The node that does not have the first line of a couplet, promptly root 80.All different classification have identical root, i.e. " interactive TV ".
Fig. 5 is the programme attribute tree of path and expansion.Cursor is moved in " trial of strength ", click certain function key on the remote controller, just taken 4 attributes and their paths 92 on programme attribute tree such as homemade TV play, TV play, police-and-bandit film, action movie out of.By remote controller, the user can select an only path in 4 paths, and launches whole whole branches from the leaf to the root on screen.By the button up and down of remote controller, the user can operational light mark upstream or downstream again.From this sheet leaf of TV play " trial of strength ", on programme attribute tree, walk.Select the first strain programme attribute tree 96, up along the path, through police-and-bandit film〉94, arrive: homemade arenas 100, and turn to: love film 102, continue to launch, find the homemade serial of another " the dark rain Mongolian of deep love Mongolian ".
Halter strap convulsion 19. Gu tool bridal veils chant flatter Jun Midang condemn the car bridal veil still the ǖ generation サ bridal veil that makes a noise chant to flatter to dredge and tease whole TV programme 18 in the server frequently for program request so condemn a form of address for old woman, be divided into two big classes.One class is the program of user " interested "; The program that the another kind of user of being " loses interest in ".At present, these programs are responsible for playing in the mode of channel by TV station, no matter user " interested " still is " loseing interest in ".TV station also be responsible for to publish a " television program newspaper ", publicity inform TV user which date, when, what TV programme so-and-so television channel broadcasts.Looking after the user has such traditional tv to watch custom, and the first dimension elements of a fix of definition interactive TV electronic program list are " channels " 12.By traditional habit, channel is composed with the sequence number 14 from integer 1 beginning.The user can press the numerical key on the remote controller, directly watches the direct broadcast band TV programme of arranging by sequence number.For example, the CCTV1 of 1 to the 12 expression Chinese Central Television (CCTV) is to 12 TV stations of CCTV12, and 13 represent the news channel of the Chinese Central Television (CCTV), the Educational TV Service of the 14 expression Chinese Central Television (CCTV) etc.Because interactive TV can provide a hundreds of television channel usually, therefore channel need be classified.For example, can be divided into several classes such as the Chinese Central Television (CCTV), Shanghai local broadcasting stations, nonlocal satellite station, theme program platform.Ground area code as telephone number, the channel classification of definition CCTV should be aided with 0 and 00 prefix in the channel digit front, then CCTV1 is exactly 001, CCTV12 is 012, the channel classification of Shanghai local broadcasting stations should be aided with 1 and 10 prefix in the channel digit front, then the Shanghai news station is exactly 101, and education platform in Shanghai is 112 etc.Also can increase focused interview channel, man and nature channel, sports and amusement channel, life interview channel etc.; Also can be subdivided into farce channel, storytelling and ballad singing channel, Yao Ming's channel, Xu Yulan channel etc.All TV programme can classify as a special channel by the keyword of some attributes in principle.The interactive TV user can activate these special channels by " subscription " to these channels.The special proprietary channel categories of one class is more arranged, and is exactly " my channel " (My TV Channel).Usually, the user can not be interested in all hundreds ofs interactive TV channel, often can only pay close attention to ten television channels of often patronizing.Therefore, the interactive TV user can select the television channel of oneself often patronizing by remote controller key, forms " my channel ".So the user does not just need to pay close attention to a hundreds of television channel in what content of broadcast when turning on television set, and it is just passable only need to pay close attention in my channel these tens channels.In a word, first of the coordinate system of the interactive TV colour multi-dimensional electronic programme dimension is " channel " 12.
Second dimension that the present invention defines the interactive TV colour multi-dimensional electronic programme is " time " 16, one days 24 hours, will be divided into a plurality of time periods in one hour by the period.For example, per 10 minutes as a period, is divided into 6 periods in one hour.Or per 15 minutes periods, hour 4 periods.With " time " is abscissa, " channel " is ordinate, one day 24 hours TV programme 18 just can constitute a plane, on this plane each intersection point of coordinate in length and breadth is exactly a program, constitutes our also frequent visible two dimensional surface electronic program list in the DVB digital television broadcasting usually.
A two dimensional surface electronic program list is all set of channel broadcast program in 24 hours some days.The TV programme that had both comprised user " interested " has also comprised the TV programme that the user " loses interest in ".User " interested " still is " loseing interest in ", is the programme attribute of a key.Adopt and processing " channel " method identical, regard user " interested " and " loseing interest in " as on the programme attribute coordinate system two different numerical value with " time ".For example, " lose interest in " property value of program of definition user is zero, and the property value of definition user " interested " program is a nonzero integer, 1,2,3 etc.So this integer-valued difference can be used for defining different attributes again.The present invention is absorbed in the scope at interactive TV, pays close attention to the interactive attribute of interactive TV.In the application of interactive TV, the interactive attribute of how to explain program is extremely important.Can program request or the attribute of time shift if there are not a kind of means to tell which program of user has, the user can't use interactive TV.Therefore, interactive attribute representation's method of interactive TV program also just becomes extremely important.The present invention considers to adopt color representation 24 on the method for expressing of interactive attribute.With " colourless ", promptly there is not color showing property value zero.The uninterested program of all users, interactive attribute digital value are zero, all are expressed as colourless on electronic program list.Represent " but program request " such program interaction attribute 32 with yellow, its interactive attribute digital value is 1.Represent " ageing program request " 30 with light red, its interactive attribute digital value is 2.With the light blue interactive TV program of representing to drop in having between " time shift one hour " functional areas 28, its interactive attribute digital value is 3 or the like.When taking the scheme of color, texture and shade also can adopt simultaneously.Can certainly represent interactive property value 26 with figure or symbol, also can specialized designs some the figure or the symbol of special implication are arranged so that the user is acceptant.But the electronic program list that shows on video screen is with the colored interactive attribute of representing program, relatively nature.This has just constituted interactive TV color electric of the present invention programme 10.
Below illustrate with different colors and can represent the interactive attribute 20 that program is different.For example, represent the TV programme that current execution the " time-moving television " operated with light blue 28.Turn on television set in 7: 12, and watched Chinese Central Television's news hookup program, surpassed 7 the 12 minutes time of starting broadcasting.Because but this channel has been composed light blue with time shift, it is implemented time shift operation, will move forward the time 12 minutes, begin to play the news hookup of 7 beginnings on the television set.Here it is so-called " time-moving television ".The live football match of the Chinese Central Television's the 5th cover, both sides still do not have achievement, and score is 0: 0, and family has come a friend, and you have to button " time-out " just in live football match, beginning and friend's chat.After friend walked, your button " continuation " was got back at that time on the seat of " time-out ", continued 0: 0 football match, although the on-the-spot circumstance of this moment match has been 0: 2 score.You press fast forward button, have skipped advertisement and intermission, and you have caught up with this on-the-spot circumstance of 0: 2 soon and have relayed match.So-called " time-moving television " becomes a video file with the live telecast loop recording in fact exactly, and the user changes video on demand over to from live telecast when the request time shift.Again for example, but represent the program request sports news of effective property with light red 30, so-called effective property is meant that this program only kept three days in the request program database, and this sports news program will be deleted from the request program valut after three days.The user can be when this program still be light red, and program request in time watches that no waiting after the set time otherwise incite somebody to action.Again for example, all can be composed with yellow 32 for the program of program request at any time.The user finds Shanghai TV Station's TV series " historical sky " premiere first collection on the electronic program list of next week one, find that but this program is yellow.Because the Chinese Central Television (CCTV) had play these TV series already, this sheet has been put in storage can program request.So, but needn't wait until that next week appreciated this film once button.Again for example, 8 of tonight a Zhou Jielun concert is arranged, friend calls and invites you to dine out.Check electronic program list, this program is a green 34, represents that this concert then will be recorded.Go home after going to friend's dinner party, find this concert on electronic program list, the button program request is had a meal and is seen that TV neglects neither.We also can pass through button, make the program that does not have color change color, make it become the program that you individual requires the some record, and this moment, this program was shown as lilac 36.Certainly, if having only of you to require a record, interactive television system will be collected certain cost to you.If there is the several people to require this program of record, the color relation of program can change, and expense just can many people be shared.If require the number of this program of some record to reach the standard of a setting, interactive television system will change the color of this program once more, show this program by the system point record, no longer collect individual's point record cost.Abundant example has been arranged, illustrated that interactive TV is necessary to set up communication by different colours on the electronic program list and user, allowed the user understand the different interactive attribute of each program, so that carry out interactive operation.The integral body of these different colours values has constituted a new reference axis, and this is the third dimension of interactive TV colour multi-dimensional electronic programme.Certainly,, increase the depth, texture and the shade of color, also can distinguish the degree of interactive attribute except color.For example, light red represents to keep three days ageing program, and slightly dark any the redness of color represents to keep seven days ageing program etc.
On a two-dimensional plane electronic program list, adopt different colors to reach the purpose of representing different interactive attributes, the user can be understood how own programs of interest is carried out different interactive operations.The essence of thing is: the set of expressing all digital values of different interactive attributes has constituted a new three-dimensional system of coordinate 40.A reference axis that increases newly is " the interactive attribute of program " 42.Drop on interactive property value and be that two dimensional surface of zero, or be the set 44 of user's whole programs of " loseing interest in " on " section ".Dropping on the interactive TV property value and being on that two dimensional cross-section of 2 is that interactive attribute is the set 46 of whole " ageing program request " program of 2.In this cube any is the intersection point of three coordinates, defined some specific interactive attributes 48 that TV programme had.Increased " the interactive attribute of program " this new reference axis, new electronic program list is exactly color three dimension tridimensional electronic programme 40.
Same thinking also can increase " date " as the new third dimension 56, with " my god " as the coordinate unit of the third dimension, just constituted another three-dimensional tridimensional electronic programme 50.Corresponding each date value, the i.e. corresponding two dimensional surface 52 of the electronic program list of every day.One group of date value corresponding one folded two dimensional surface constitutes a cube.In this cube any is the intersection point of three coordinates, defined in some day some specific television channels, the program 54 that the some set time broadcasts.Since the tridimensional electronic programme of a three-dimensional is actually the page of a folded two dimensional surface electronic program list, overlaps one by one and formed.Specify a specific date value, just can from this folded page, extract a two dimensional surface electronic program list 52 out.Obviously, if increase " date " and " the interactive attribute of program " two new reference axis simultaneously, just constituted four-dimensional color electric programme.
Still same thinking increases a new reference axis " collection number " again, just constitutes the programme of one five dimension color electric.In fact, some program is often of the same name, that is to say that these programs are many collection numbers.For example, art life, film legend, feature program such as tell the truth all are many collection numbers of the same name; Film is the tract that a plurality of single collection of the same name are arranged as " 007 " etc., regards it as the proper of many collection numbers; And TV series must be the programs of many collection numbers of the same name.Obviously, the collection number can be used as the 5th dimension of colour multi-dimensional electronic programme, can take to make the method for its expansion to be realized.
In sum, the present invention with one " time " as abscissa, " channel " as the common common two dimensional surface electronic program list of ordinate as the basis, be aided with color, " the interactive attribute of program ", " date ", " technology " three new coordinate systems have been increased, constructed a colour five dimension electronic program lists, be defined as: the colour multi-dimensional electronic programme of interactive TV.
The operability attribute of the interactive attribute person of being to use in the process of televiewing of program.Notice that any one user's interest TV programme all can have the user's interest reason.That is to say that some program can make the user interested, just necessarily some distinguished programme attribute is arranged, for example categorical attribute 64.The film " 007 " of famous actor James Pang De has 007 different movie film of 20 multi-sections." 007 " belongs to user's a " interested " class program, and 20 multi-section films all are to hang over program " 007 " following " collection number " as previously mentioned.The user's of this program " interested " categorical attribute has: movie film, imported picture, action movie, police-and-bandit film etc.The same with interactive attribute, can give different digital values to different categorical attributes.If categorical attribute as a kind of extension of program interaction attribute, then can be arranged in categorical attribute interactive attribute back, then these attributes can be given digital values such as 101,102,103,104.Certainly, perhaps categorical attribute is defined as another new coordinate system, the electronic programming single mass system that constitutes a 6 DOF can more meet logicality.
According to different " classification " 66 methods, the categorical attribute of each program all has a first line of a couplet attribute.Each program has a more than categorical attribute, so each program just has 68 and one groups of second line of a couplet attributes of a more than first line of a couplet attribute (up-link) (down-link) 70, promptly collects number.Each first line of a couplet attribute can converge again and be linked to another new first line of a couplet attribute 72.For example, the first line of a couplet of " movie film " may be " film and TV play "; The first line of a couplet of " imported picture " is " both at home and abroad film " etc.If the program of all similar " 007 " is all regarded as a big leaf 74 of setting, the binding of first line of a couplet aggregation node is regarded as branch 76, the different first line of a couplet constitutes different branches, all formation programme attribute trees 78 of all branches that are connected.It is root 80 that definition does not have the superiors' node of the first line of a couplet, and leaf is connected to the root of leaf place programme attribute tree by different branches.Because multiple sorting technique can be arranged, the programme attribute tree from the leaf to the root just has more than one.The root that defines all different trees is identical, and this root unification is called " interactive TV ".The whole branches that are linked to " interactive TV " root one by one from the leaf of such a slice similar " 007 " are defined as " path " (the figure shown in thick black line all) 82.The attribute number that every leaf had has determined this sheet leaf to occur on several programme attribute trees and from this sheet leaf several the paths of leading to root has been arranged.This each leaf can have the programme attribute tree that several paths lead to same root to be defined as: multi-dimensional programme attribute tree 70.
In fact, the user of program " interested " and " loseing interest in " all are the saying of a perception, are not strict definition.The notion that above-mentioned multi-dimensional programme attribute tree and leaf have been arranged just can be with the program of user " interested ", and promptly the coloured program on the colour multi-dimensional electronic programme is defined as the leaf 74 on the multi-dimensional programme attribute tree.And the program that the user " loses interest in ", i.e. colourless program in the color electric programme just is not the leaf on the multi-dimensional programme attribute tree.Therefore, the present invention also needs a kind of new technology, with all are endowed the program of color and the leaf of aforementioned multi-dimensional programme attribute tree carries out man-to-man shining upon on the colour multi-dimensional electronic programme of interactive TV.That is to say, so long as the colorful one program on the electronic program list of interactive TV obtains the location surely with regard to one on multi-dimensional programme attribute tree.Otherwise, just necessarily can on colour multi-dimensional electronic programme, find a respective program that is endowed color at a slice leaf on the multi-dimensional programme attribute tree.And the TV programme that those users on the colour multi-dimensional electronic programme " lose interest in " does not all have color, does not appear on the multi-dimensional programme attribute tree yet.If the user does not have the TV programme of color interested to some, can it be composed with color by pressing the button of remote controller.The user composes process with color to the leaf that does not have color will make the program of this leaf representative become the new leaf of a slice on the multi-dimensional programme attribute tree.
The relation of shining upon one to one between the program that is endowed color of the leaf of multi-dimensional programme attribute tree and colour multi-dimensional electronic programme has been arranged, will cause a kind of new program search function that just can finish without any need for the literal input.As previously mentioned, the program of any one band color all is a slice leaf on the multi-dimensional programme attribute tree.Therefore, program of optional point on electronic program list, the some categorical attributes that can take this sheet leaf out of.As previously mentioned, film " 007 " has several categorical attributes: movie film, imported picture, action movie, police-and-bandit film etc.Again for example, on the electronic program list that shows on the current screen, TV series " trial of strength " are arranged.You do not want to see this slice, thin piece, and cursor is moved in " trial of strength " 94, click certain function key on the remote controller, have just taken 4 attributes and their paths 92 on programme attribute tree such as homemade TV play, TV play, police-and-bandit film, action movie out of:
1, interactive TV〉Highlights On-Demand〉video theatre〉homemade arenas〉police-and-bandit film〉trial of strength
2, interactive TV〉film and television〉action movie〉homemade TV play〉trial of strength
3, interactive TV〉the large stretch of appreciation of winning a prize〉the homemade sheet of winning a prize〉TV play〉trial of strength
4, interactive TV〉TV play〉homemade TV play〉action movie〉trial of strength
By remote controller, the user can select an only path in 4 paths, and launches whole whole branches from the leaf to the root on screen.By the button up and down of remote controller, the user can operational light mark upstream or downstream again.From this sheet leaf of TV play " trial of strength ", on programme attribute tree, walk.Select the first strain programme attribute tree 96, up along the path, through police-and-bandit film＞98, arrive: homemade arenas＞100, and turn to: love film " 102, button launches and continues, and " the dark rain huge legendary turtle of deep love is thin to find the homemade serial of another; Rice weevil crash the 2nd strain programme attribute tree up, can arrive: action movie ", and turn to: foreign films ", found the leaf of film " 007 ".From the collection number " found a certain the film " Great War golden finger " of 007 series.
In principle, the user is when televiewing, can not like with complicated method input Chinese pinyin or Chinese character, the present invention attempts to take some attribute on multi-dimensional programme attribute tree inevitably out of by the program of band color and the corresponding relation of a slice leaf on the multi-dimensional programme attribute tree on the colour multi-dimensional electronic programme.Thereby by the uplink and downlink on programme attribute tree, jump on another branch, find another sheet user to want the leaf that finds from a slice leaf from a branch.Because all leaves all are positioned on same the programme attribute tree, so in theory,, can find any one to want another sheet leaf that arrives from any a slice leaf.The attribute design is reasonable more, complicated more, and the jumping figure that jumps to another sheet leaf from a slice leaf will be few more.User oneself selects leaf as starting point more near the leaf of point of destination, and jumping figure also will be minimum.Shining upon of colour multi-dimensional electronic programme and multi-dimensional programme attribute tree leaf, such interface easily is provided, select one near the channel of objective attribute target attribute as setting out the page, look for one to have as far as possible program near objective attribute target attribute as setting out leaf, generally do not go out three to five jumping figures, just can find and want the target TV programme that finds, very practical.
In sum, the present invention has realized a kind of method-colour multi-dimensional electronic programme that the program interaction attribute is provided.A kind of method-multi-dimensional programme attribute tree that the program classification attribute is provided also is provided simultaneously.And by simple several remote controller key interactive operations, alternately property ground uses colour multi-dimensional electronic programme and multi-dimensional programme attribute tree, reaches the purpose that can indiscriminately ad. as one wishes appreciate interactive TV program.
Concrete operations of the present invention are described as follows:
One, press " epg " key of remote controller, enter the colour multi-dimensional electronic programme of interactive TV:
The screen upper left corner shows that current channel just in the wicket preview of live television programming, accounts for six line positions; The upper right corner five-element show that current channel is just at the explanatory note of live television programming; Far Left is " my channel " button; The 6th row the right shows " prompting of program color attribute " button; What following is two icons ", " that switch the date forward and switch the date backward; Middle " calendar " icon is the simple and clear calendar icon that request shows this per medio; The below delegation of screen is a key icon of selecting channel classification, the first kind, and classification number 000 is the Chinese Central Television (CCTV); Second class, classification number 100 are Shanghai local broadcasting stations and Shanghai pay channel; The 3rd class, classification number 200 is satellite televisions; The 3rd class, classification number 300 is thematic channels etc.
In the middle of the screen 9 row being arranged is viewing areas of two-dimentional electronic program list.Abscissa is " time " axle, and ordinate is " channel " axle.The programme content that shows 8 channels and 2 hours.Button can make channel and time move up and down.Shown programm name on the grid of expression program, the length of grid is determined by the length of shared time of program.Usually design was a time period in 15 minutes, i.e. 4 periods of each hour.Design principle is to guarantee that the literal size that shows on the screen is to be sitting in user on sofa beyond 2 meters of the television sets can see clearly to limit.The time of the current screen shown in the last figure is 9:50 on August 11, and cursor marks with red frame, current being parked on the program " glamour front "; Current channel marks " 2 in Shanghai ", i.e. " life fashion " channel with yellow; The lower left corner is station symbol; The lower right corner is " withdrawing from " key.
Two icons " prompting of program color attribute " in the 6th row and " calendar " can launch by button.By the simple and clear calendar icon of remote controller key request demonstration and the result after the prompting of program color attribute.Cursor is represented by red frame, and the current CCTV1 that is parked in is on " happy dictionary ".
The color attribute of program has the following example:
Yellow: but program request; Red: ageing program request; Light blue: but time-moving television; Green: as to have come in the record table; Purple: customer requirements point record;
Navy blue: then remind etc.
By pressing the key up and down on the remote controller, show on can moving screen, with " time " as abscissa, " channel " is as the plane electronics programme of ordinate.Based on so common common two dimensional surface electronic program list, adopted following three kinds of new technologies again, constructed one five dimension electronic program list.
1,, solves the technique of expression of third dimension reference axis " date " with the way of skipping;
2,, solved the technique of expression of fourth dimension coordinate " interactive attribute " with the way of different colours, texture and shade;
3,, solved the technique of expression of the 5th dimension coordinate " collection number " with the way of launching.
Need special remind is: interactive TV colour multi-dimensional electronic programme of the present invention system has kept the custom that whole tradition are watched common TV when implementing, being provided with can be as the channel switch key of common TV remote controller.User's channel easily connects a channel ground switching, and the time of a channel of every switching was less than 0.5 second.Also can press the numerical key switching channels on the remote controller.Simultaneously,, at any time, press " epg " key on the remote controller, will eject colour multi-dimensional electronic programme on the screen as long as the user has interactive requirement." withdrawing from " key in the screen lower right corner, or " exit " key on the remote controller help the user to withdraw from the electronic programming single-page.
The screen display of button " my channel ", the user can be arranged to " my channel " with oneself the most normal more than ten channel of seeing, the convenient use.
The colour multi-dimensional electronic programme of interactive TV is the interface that the user implements interactive operation, and its importance just is to allow the user can see whole " elephant " at a glance, rather than branch of the ear of elephant, thigh or tail and so on or part.Key simply up and down on the user can use a teleswitch, the mobile electron programme finds and oneself wants the program seen; According to the color of program, determine the interaction request of oneself again; Simple and practical, both looked after the custom of watching common TV originally, opened the new world of a slice interaction again for the user.Whole interaction functions of the colour multi-dimensional electronic programme institute specific implementation of interactive TV, what has also just defined is interactive TV.
Two, the specific implementation of programme attribute tree is relatively simple, just the application in a general data storehouse.Set up an entity relationship model, defining ultimate node is program.And list the filename of each collection video files of program subordinate, just can realize the operations such as increase, deletion, modification, inquiry of programme attribute tree.Difficult is the assignment of interactive attribute, just to the process of each interactive program tax with color.Here said colouration process should manual not finished, and should finish automatically.And the method for finishing the colouration process is also unique anything but.For example, can in electronic program list screen display program, move " colouration " program, according to the color parameter of respective program in the database, to the program colouration that shows on the current screen for entity " program " color parameter hurdle of increase of database.Again for example, " time shift " value of supposing time-moving television is 2 hours, then in electronic program list screen display program, " colouration " program of operation, will limit one with the current time to the time " threshold " relatively, but judge whether be shown program drops in the time period threshold when being set at the television channel of time shift showing, but "Yes" is then composed representing the light blue of this program time shift, otherwise not colouration.Colouration also has the branch of priority level, for example, but has been defined as the program of the yellow of program request, but just there is no need to compose light blue with time shift again, but yellow that can program request compare with the light blue of time shift, higher priority is arranged.
Three, after having realized colour multi-dimensional electronic programme and multi-dimensional programme attribute tree respectively, also must realize the switching between the two.Usually, the color electric programme is to utilize the Java Script language of set-top box to realize, its EPG data are to retrieve to obtain from the database of system.Multi-dimensional programme attribute tree also is to be obtained by the database retrieval of system.In the retrieving of database, set up the mutual transmission of critical data between the two, just can accomplish the mutual switching between the two.The user just can be switched between the two easily back and forth by a few button of remote controller.Without any need for the literal input, do not need computor-keyboard, up and down four shifting bond(s)s, look for and oneself want the program seen, this is only TV, is only audiovisual and amusement and enjoys, not being computer, is not the Internet, is the instrument of watching interactive TV that most of people can both accept.The purpose that the present invention that Here it is " the color electric programme of interactive TV and multi-dimensional programme attribute tree technology " hope reaches.
In a word, realize that the method for interactive TV colour multi-dimensional electronic programme can be diversified, as long as but the content that is implemented relates to the present invention about realizing the spirit and scope of interactive attribution method, all should be regarded as being encompassed among the claim scope of the present invention.
