Embodiment
Describe concrete enforcement of the present invention in detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
In enforcement of the present invention, all user models and channel list all are stored in E
2Among the PROM, be convenient to read.
Specific embodiments of the invention realize in conjunction with carrying out channel manage by the geographical position, promptly at first utilize existing geographical position to set up the channel manage catalogue, and then by the present invention a plurality of user models are set, and the channel list under the user model is set.The system of Figure 1 shows that carries out the menu schematic diagram that the user is provided with.In specific embodiments of the invention, TV provides the selection that is provided with of 4 user models (i.e. favorite channels hereinafter), is respectively old man, father, mother, child, and can show corresponding image, is convenient to identification; Wherein old man, father, mother, child are the user's names of system default, and the user also can carry out rename to these 4 user's names when edit menu.The method of edit menu is: at first, enter menu shown in Figure 1 by " editor " key, re-use " program+/-" (perhaps going up/descend) key, enter [user's name] hurdle, by " volume+" (perhaps right button), enter " user's setting " option.Be provided with in the right hurdle and use equally " program+/-" key selects, confirms with " volume+" the user.Return Previous Menu, by " volume down " key (perhaps left button).Withdraw from edit menu, by " editor " key.
The user after setting completed, the method for carrying out the channel setting is to enter navigation menu by " navigation " key, uses " program+/-" key, enters [favorite channels] hurdle, by " volume+", enters the channel option on the right.As shown in Figure 2, at selected channel, confirm dozen to collude by " volume+" key as central authorities two, central authorities six, TVB.
At E of the present invention
2The PROM internal memory contains some cover user channel lists, Figure 3 shows that the E that user preferred channels list length of the present invention is fixing
2The PROM planning table.In the present embodiment, the space of 20 channels of each user channel tabulation fixed allocation.System is according to after selecting one of them user model as the current channel tabulation, and skip as channel the operation of channel this moment, and channel exchanges, and channel navigation is provided with to wait and all finishes in current channel is tabulated.Adopt this E
2The PROM storage mode is simple to operate, is easy to realize.
In order rationally to utilize limited E
2The PROM memory space makes it can support more channel list, can adopt the dynamic management of channel list.Here introduce a kind of method: all give a user channel list attribute to each favorite channels of choosing, this attribute shows this channel belongs to the channel list under which user model.Figure 4 shows that the E that comprises user channel list attribute item
2The PROM planning table.After selected certain user model is as the current channel tabulation, the channel attribute will constitute a set for all channels of this user channel tabulation in total channel list, and the operation of all relevant channels is all carried out in this set.Channel list can be deleted, and all channel subordinate channel list attributes that belong to after the deletion in this channel list all will be cleared.This storage means is more flexible, also is easy to realize, but the channel skewness of same user channel tabulation, it is more time-consuming to search channel.
Starting user model can select by the OSD menu, also can 4 four chroma keys be set on by remote controller and correspond respectively to four user models.For a kind of method in back, after the user had pressed one of them key, system just accessed this user's favorite channels.At this moment, can show active user's title on the screen, disappear after 3 seconds.By " program+/-" after, channel only switches between this user's favorite channels, and after changing platform, user name meeting and channel information showed for 3 seconds together on screen at every turn.
Below start specifying of user model method.The user can use OSD menu mode or operation user shortcut to start user model, Figure 5 shows that and have the remote controller 50 that above-mentioned shortcut is provided with, this remote controller 50 comprises orchid, Huang, green, red 4 look shortcuts 51, and it corresponds respectively to father, mother, child, 4 kinds of user models of old man.When using shortcut, display menu not, system directly enters this user model.
Use the OSD menu mode to comprise following two kinds of situations again: behind (1) television startup, screen shows OSD menu screen as shown in Figure 6 automatically, and this picture is from left to right represented father, mother, child, 4 kinds of user models of old man successively; (2) in the rating process, the user uses navigation key to access the setting that the OSD menu carries out user model.Under first kind of situation, can carry out the selection of user model by above-mentioned shortcut or " program+/-" key, when the blue color keys on the remote controller is pressed, perhaps operation " program+/-" key is chosen the circle of OSD menu screen blue and by after determining, show that father's pattern is selected, simultaneity factor accesses the favorite channels tabulation under father's pattern.After this press " program+/-" or numerical key, system is just only switched between the favorite channels that father is provided with.If need withdraw from father's pattern, as long as just can cancel user model by blue color keys or according to the prompting on the OSD menu again, system enters common channel manage pattern afterwards, and at this moment, the channel of watching will not switch.
In order to be convenient to user's operation more, also can when setting user preferred channels, give a channel for each favorite channels.Just can directly realize the switching of channel so in use, and not need that above-mentioned switching in turn circulates by control " program+/-" by numerical key.Because the assignment of channel is being carried out under the user model separately, so the channel of the representative of the channel under the different user pattern may be inequality.
In addition, for the privacy and the personalized management that strengthen above-mentioned channel, system can carry out rights management to each user model, thereby is carrying out needing each user to set corresponding password when the user is provided with.When the user when selecting user model, have only the correct password of input, system just can enter corresponding user model, otherwise system enters common viewing mode or enters holding state.
