Abstract

In order to report the channel selection in a [lacuna] by means of a computer-controlled and digitally tunable television receiver, it is proposed that the digital channel indicating signal which is supplied from the computer of the RF-IF tuner with an integrated digital tuning system to a channel indicator is picked off and, if necessary, is supplied after suitable recoding to the reporting apparatus.

Description

SCHALTUNGSANORDNUNG ZUM MELDEN DER KANAL- CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT FOR REPORTING THE CHANNEL

WAHL BEI EINEM ABSTIMMBAREN FERNSEHEMPFÄNGER Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Schaltungsanordnung zum Melden der Kanal- bzw. Programmwahl bei einem mittels eines rechnergesteuerten digitalen Abstimmsystems abstimmbaren Fernsehempfänger und Videorecorders. CHOICE IN A TUNABLE TELEVISION RECEIVER The invention relates to on a circuit arrangement for reporting the channel or program selection to a television receiver tunable by means of a computer-controlled digital voting system and video recorders.

Mit dem Einzug von rechnergesteuerten digitalen Abstimmsystemen in abstimmbare Fernsehempfänger und Videorecorder ist es nicht mehr möglich, den jeweils gewählten Kanal bzw.With the advent of computer-controlled digital voting systems in tunable television receivers and video recorders, it is no longer possible to each selected channel or

das Programm über die in dem Fernsehempfänger oder Videorecorder auftretende Abstimmspannung zu ermitteln. Hier ist es, ohne größere Eingriffe in das Fernsehgerät oder den Videorecorder vorzunehmen, nur mehr möglich die Datensignale am Ausgang des Rechners des Abstimmsystems, die der Kanalanzeige zugeführt werden, zu einer Aufbereitung in eine Dateninformation zu verwenden, welche dann mittels eines Modem über Telefonleitungen dem Auswerterechner übermittelt werden.the program about the occurring in the television receiver or video recorder To determine the tuning voltage. Here it is, without any major tampering with the television or to make the video recorder, only the data signals at the output are possible of the computer of the voting system, which are fed to the channel display, to a Processing into data information, which is then used by means of a modem be transmitted to the evaluation computer via telephone lines.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Weg anzugeben, unmittelbare digitale Datensignale entsprechend der jeweils gewählten Kanalnummer bzw. des Programms aus den gerade vorliegenden Daten des rechnergesteuerten digitalen Abstimmsystems zu gewinnen.The object of the invention is to provide a way that is immediate digital Data signals according to the selected channel number or the program to the data currently available from the computer-controlled digital voting system to win.

Nachfolgend wird an Hand eines allgemeinen Blockschalt- bildes eines Fernsehempfängers mit einem rechnergesteuerten digitalen Abstimmsystem ein Ausführungsbeispiel beschrieben.In the following, a general block diagram image a television receiver with a computer controlled digital voting system Embodiment described.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Fernsehempfänger (1) mit einem Tuner (2), in dem die gesamte hochfrequente und zwischenfrequente Verarbeitung sowie die Demodulation des trägerfrequenten Fernsehsignals erfolgt, dargestellt. Dieser Tuner (2) beinhaltet weiter ein komplettes rechnergesteuertes digitales Abstimmsystem, welches nach Eingabe der gewünschten Kanal- bzw. Programm-Nummer die Abstimmung auf den eingegebenen Kanal automatisch vornimmt. Die Anzeige des eingestellten Kanals bzw. Programms erfolgt durch die Kanal-bzw. Programmanzeige (3). Diese erhält die Daten vom Ausgang des Rechners des digitalen Abstimmsystems des Tuners (2) über die Datenleitung (4), die in jedem Fernsehempfänger oder Videorecorder mit solcher Technik jederzeit zugänglich ist. Für eine Weitermeldung des vom Fernsehzuschauer gewählten Kanals bzw. Programms an eine Auswertestelle werden die Daten der Datenleitung (4) über eine Leitung (10) an einen Umcodierer (12) weitergeleitet und diese umcodierten Daten an das Meldegerät (14) weitergegeben.In Fig. 1 is a television receiver (1) with a tuner (2) in which all high-frequency and intermediate-frequency processing and demodulation of the carrier-frequency television signal is shown. This tuner (2) includes furthermore a complete computer-controlled digital voting system, which after input the desired channel or program number to match the entered Channel automatically. The display of the set channel or program takes place through the channel or. Program display (3). This receives the data from the output the computer of the digital tuning system of the tuner (2) via the data line (4), which is accessible at any time in any television receiver or video recorder with such technology is. For relaying the channel or program selected by the television viewer The data from the data line (4) are sent to an evaluation point via a line (10) forwarded to a transcoder (12) and these transcoded data to the signaling device (14) passed on.

Beispielsweise werden auf der Datenleitung (4) serielle Nutzdaten im Multiplexbetrieb übertragen, wobei parallel hierzu Signale zur Ablaufsteuerung der Kanal- bzw. Programmanzeige (3) übertragen werden. Der Umcodierer (12) erzeugt im betrachteten Beispielsfalle aus dem ankommenden seriellen Datenstrom einen parallelen Datenstrom mit für das Meldegerät (14) geeignetem Datenformat.For example, serial user data are on the data line (4) transmitted in multiplex mode, with signals for sequence control in parallel the channel or program display (3). The transcoder (12) generates In the example under consideration, a parallel data stream is generated from the incoming serial data stream Data stream with a data format suitable for the signaling device (14).
