Abstract

A monitoring unit (2a) monitors the running television programme and recognizes the occurrence of fading-in of advertising. A wide switching section (2b) is controlled by the monitoring unit during the advertising fading-in and triggers a switching action at the television (1).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Überwachungseinrichtung für ein Fernsehgerät.The invention relates to a monitoring device for a television set.

Fernsehsendungen, z. B.: Filme, Sportsendungen usw. werden häufig von Werbeein­ blendungen, sogenannten Werbeblöcken unterbrochen. Viele Fernsehzuschauer empfinden diese Werbeeinblendungen als störend und belästigend.TV shows, e.g. For example: Movies, sports programs, etc. are often used by advertising glare, so-called advertising blocks interrupted. Many television viewers find these advertisements annoying and annoying.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, diese Belästigung automatisch zu unter­ drücken.The invention is based on the object of automatically reducing this annoyance to press.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Als Schaltvorgang kommt ein Abschalten des Geräts, ein Dunkelschalten des Bild­ schirms, ein Abschalten des Tons und schließlich ein Umschalten des Fernsehgeräts auf einen anderen Sender oder Videogerät in Frage.The switching process involves switching off the device and darkening the picture screen, switching off the sound and finally switching the television set to another broadcaster or video device in question.

Das Überwachungsgerät muß entweder auf das Verschwinden eines, die ge­ wünschte Sendung kennzeichnenden oder das Vorhandensein eines die Werbeein­ blendung direkt kennzeichnendes Signals, ansprechen und dann den Schaltvorgang auslösen.The monitor must either be on the disappearance of one, the ge Desired broadcast or the presence of an advertisement glare directly identifying signal, address and then the switching process trigger.

Bekanntlich blenden sämtliche Fernsehsender während der Übertragung von Fern­ sehsendungen meistens an einer Bildschirmecke ihr Logo ein, z. B. die große "1" bei der ARD oder den bunten Ball bei SAT1. Bei Werbesendungen wird dieses Logo nicht eingeblendet. Das Überwachungsteil erkennt z. B. das Vorhandensein, bzw. Verschwinden dieser Einblendung und löst das Schaltsignal aus.As is known, all television stations are dazzling during the transmission from long distance Most of the time, television programs enter their logo at a corner of the screen, e.g. B. the big "1" the ARD or the colorful ball at SAT1. This logo is used for advertising mail not shown. The monitoring part recognizes z. B. the presence or This display disappears and triggers the switching signal.

Anhand der Zeichnung wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung erläutert. An embodiment of the invention will be explained with reference to the drawing.  

Die Zeichnung zeigt einen Fernseher 1. An diesem Fernseher 1 ist eine Überwa­ chungseinrichtung 2 elektrisch angeschaltet, die einen Überwachungsteil 2a und ei­ nen Schaltteil 2b aufweist.The drawing shows a television 1 . At this TV 1 is a surveil monitoring device 2 is electrically turned on, which has a monitoring part 2 a and ei NEN switching part 2 b.

Bei laufendem Fernseher 1 überwacht das Überwachungsteil 2a das Vorhandensein eines die Werbeeinblendung kennzeichnenden oder das Verschwinden eines, die gewünschte Sendung kennzeichnenden, Signals. Zeigt das Auftreten, bzw. das Ver­ schwinden dieses Signals die beginnende Werbeeinblendung (Werbeblock) an, so erkennt dies der Überwachungsteil 2a und steuert den Schaltteil 2b an, der seiner­ seits die Umschaltung im Fernseher 1 auslöst. Umgekehrt wird am Ende der Werbe­ einblendung die gewünschte Fernsehsendung wieder aktiv geschaltet, da das Über­ wachungsteil den umgekehrten Vorgang (Wiederauftreten, bzw. Verschwinden des Signals) ebenfalls erkennt und ein Steuersignal abgibt.When the television 1 is running, the monitoring part 2 a monitors the presence of a signal which characterizes the insertion of the advertisement or the disappearance of a signal which characterizes the desired program. If the occurrence or the disappearance of this signal indicates the beginning of advertising (advertising block), then the monitoring part 2 a detects this and controls the switching part 2 b, which in turn triggers the switchover in the television 1 . Conversely, at the end of the advertising display, the desired television program is activated again, since the monitoring part also detects the reverse process (recurrence or disappearance of the signal) and emits a control signal.

In Fig. 1 ist unterstellt, daß ein Zusatzgerät 2 an den Fernseher angeschaltet wird. Dieses kann auch im Fernseher bereits eingebaut sein.In Fig. 1 it is assumed that an additional device 2 is switched on the television. This can already be installed in the television.
