Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen RDS-Empfänger und ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines solchen.The invention relates to an RDS receiver and a method for operating a such.
Bei den bekannten RDS-Empfängern wird der neben dem hörbaren Audiosignal
übertragene nicht hörbare RDS-Datenstrom in einem RDS-Demodulator demoduliert
und dem RDS-Empfänger die verschiedenen RDS-Daten zur Verfügung gestellt. Diese
RDS-Daten enthalten unter anderem den Sogenannten PI-Code (Program Identification
Code), den PS-Code (Program Service Name), alternative Frequenzen und ähnliches.
Der PS-Code wird in den RDS-Gruppen
Nun wird aber von einer steigenden Anzahl von Rundfunksendern der PS-Code nicht nur zur Übermittlung des Programmnamens sondern auch zur Nutzung weiterer Informationen wie z.B. Fußballergebnisse, Wettervorhersagen, Staumeldungen oder andere vergleichbare Daten verwendet. Bei den bekannten RDS-Empfängern führt das dazu, daß diese zusätzlichen Informationen in dem Display dargestellt werden. Die dargestellte zusätzliche Information ist senderunspezifisch und kann nicht zu einer spezifischen Unterscheidung des Programms beitragen. Folglich verliert der Benutzer die Möglichkeit, sich anhand des Namens des Programms zu orientieren und bei Bedarf einen anderen Sender zu wählen.However, the PS code is not being used by an increasing number of radio stations only for the transmission of the program name but also for the use of others Information such as Football results, weather forecasts, traffic jam reports or other comparable data used. With the known RDS receivers, this leads this additional information is shown on the display. The The additional information shown is not specific to the sender and cannot be linked to one specific distinction of the program. As a result, the user loses the opportunity to orientate yourself based on the name of the program and if necessary to choose another station.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, dem Benutzer des RDS-Empfängers die Möglichkeit zu geben, die Programme trotz der Übertragung zusätzlicher Informationen über den PS-Code sicher zu unterscheiden. The object of the invention is to give the user of the RDS receiver the opportunity give the programs despite the transmission of additional information about the PS code to differentiate safely.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen RDS-Empfänger mit den in Anspruch 1 angegebenen
Merkmalen sowie durch ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines RDS-Empfängers mit den
in dem Anspruch 5 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der
Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen dargestellt.This task is performed by an RDS receiver with the specified in
Erfindungsgemäß wird der empfangene PS-Code in einer Korrektureinheit überprüft und durch einen neuen PS-Code ersetzt, der einen vom RDS-Empfänger respektive von dessen Korrektureinheit korrigierten PS-Code darstellt. Dieser korrigierte PS-Code wird im folgenden wie beim Stand der Technik üblich entsprechend dem empfangenen, unkorrigierten PS-Code verwendet. Durch die Verwendung eines korrigierten, sich zeitlich nicht verändernden PS Codes, der sich von dem sich ändernden, nicht korrekten PS-Code unterscheidet und den eigentlichen, wahren Programmnamen darstellt, gelingt es, dem Benutzer stets die Sicherheit zu geben, das aktuell empfangene oder vorgesehene Programm sich anhand des tatsächlichen PS-Codes sicher zu erkennen und von anderen Programmen zu unterscheiden. Damit ist die Benutzerfreundlichkeit des Rundfunkempfängers merklich verbessert.According to the invention, the received PS code is checked in a correction unit and replaced by a new PS code that one from the RDS receiver or from whose correction unit represents the corrected PS code. This corrected PS code will in the following, as is customary in the prior art, in accordance with the received uncorrected PS code used. By using a corrected, yourself PS codes that do not change over time, that of the changing, incorrect one PS code differentiates and represents the actual, true program name, succeeds It is always to give the user the security, the currently received or the intended program can be identified reliably using the actual PS code and to be distinguished from other programs. This makes the Broadcast receiver noticeably improved.
Mit der Korrektureinheit wird der veränderliche, und damit nicht den tatsächlichen Gegebenheiten entsprechende PS-Code durch einen neuen, korrigierten PS-Code, der den tatsächlichen Gegebenheiten entspricht, ersetzt. Dieser neue korrigierte PS-Code stellt regelmäßig den tatsächlichen Programmnamen dar oder kommt diesem zumindest insoweit nahe, daß der Benutzer mit Hilfe des korrigierten PS-Codes das Programm besser unterscheiden kann, als mit dem unkorrigierten sich verändernden PS-Code. Bei der Korrektur werden verschiedene Erkenntnisse betreffend die Schreibweise von reellen PS-Codes benutzt, um falsche, nicht korrekte PS-Codes zu verwerfen und durch potentiell korrekte, bereits früher empfangene PS-Codes zu ersetzen. Anhand solcher Erkenntnisse läßt sich auf recht sichere Art und Weise ein korrigierter PS-Code ermitteln.With the correction unit, the variable, and thus not the actual PS code according to circumstances with a new, corrected PS code, the corresponds to the actual circumstances. This new corrected PS code regularly represents the actual program name or at least comes after it to the extent that the user uses the corrected PS code to run the program can differentiate better than with the uncorrected changing PS code. At The correction provides various insights into the spelling of real PS codes used to discard and pass through incorrect, incorrect PS codes replace potentially correct PS codes received earlier. Based on such A corrected PS code can be obtained in a fairly secure manner determine.
Nach einer besonderen Ausbildungsform der Erfindung wird die Erkenntnis ausgenutzt, daß trotz sich stetig ändernder PS Codes der Programmname, welcher der gewünschte Program Service Name darstellt, zeitlich am häufigsten übertragen wird. Entsprechend dieser Erkenntnis wird der kontinuierlich empfangene PS-Code statistisch ausgewertet und der PS-Code mit der maximalen Häufigkeit als neuer, korrigierter PS-Code dem RDS-Empfänger zur weiteren Verarbeitung zur Verfügung gestellt. Diese wird den neuen, korrigierten PS-Code beispielsweise in einem Display zur Anzeige bringen. Dadurch gelingt es beispielsweise trotz kurzfristiger Übertragung von Nachrichten in Form von zusätzlichen Informationen über den PS-Code wie z.B. KSC gegen VFB 5:2 diese Darstellung der zusätzlichen Informationen zu unterdrücken und die korrekte Bezeichnung des Programms z.B. Regnbogn zur Anzeige zu bringen.According to a special embodiment of the invention, the knowledge is used, that despite the constantly changing PS codes, the program name, which is the desired one Program Service Name represents the most frequently transmitted time. Corresponding With this knowledge, the continuously received PS code is statistically evaluated and the PS code with the maximum frequency as a new, corrected PS code RDS receiver provided for further processing. This will be the Display the new, corrected PS code on a display, for example. This makes it possible, for example, despite short-term transmission of messages in Form of additional information about the PS code such as KSC vs. VFB 5: 2 suppress this representation of the additional information and correct it Name of the program e.g. To display Regnbogn.
Nach einer bevorzugten Ausbildungsform der Erfindung zeigt die Korrektureinheit einen Speicher, in dem eine Tabelle mit korrekten PS-Codes und verschiedenen anderen spezifischen Informationen zu den jeweils empfangenen Rundfunkprogrammen unabhängig von dem jeweils aktuell empfangenen PS-Code abgespeichert ist. Diese zusätzlichen Informationen des Programmes ermöglichen es, eine sichere Zuordnung zu einem bestimmten PS-Code, der der korrekte PS-Code des aktuell empfangenen Senders darstellt, zu schaffen und aus der tabellarischen Zuordnung der spezifischen Informationen zu dem korrekten PS-Code diesen zu ermitteln und ihn dem Rundfunkempfänger als korrigierter PS-Code zur Verfügung zu stellen. Als spezifische Information hat sich insbesondere die Frequenz, der PI-Code, mögliche alternative Frequenzen, die Kennzeichnung des Senders respektive des Senderturm oder auch die EON-Informationen als besonders geeignet herausgestellt. Diese zusätzlichen Informationen ermöglichen es, jeweils allein oder in Kombination miteinander den korrekten PS-Code des empfangenen Programms anstelle des falschen, für begrenzte Zeit durch andere Einblendungen ersetzte PS-Code sicher ermittelt. Die Sicherheit, genau einen, den korrekten PS-Code anhand der Tabelle auszuwählen steigt mit zunehmender Anzahl der berücksichtigten zusätzlichen Informationen.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the correction unit shows a memory in which a table with correct PS codes and various others specific information about the broadcast programs received regardless of the currently received PS code. This Additional information of the program enables a secure assignment a specific PS code, which is the correct PS code of the station currently being received represents, to create and from the tabular assignment of the specific Information on the correct PS code to determine this and the To provide radio receivers as a corrected PS code. As specific Information in particular has the frequency, the PI code, possible alternative Frequencies, the identification of the transmitter or the transmitter tower or the EON information highlighted as particularly suitable. These additional Information makes it possible, either individually or in combination with one another correct PS code of the received program instead of the wrong one, for limited ones PS code replaced by other overlays is reliably determined. The security exactly one, choosing the correct PS code from the table also increases increasing number of additional information considered.
Als besonders geeignet hat sich hierbei die Verwendung der Frequenz in Verbindung mit dem PI-Code bzw. die Frequenz in Verbindung mit der Kennzeichnung des Senders (Sendemastens oder Senderturms) herausgestellt. Durch diese Ausbildung der Erfindung kann anhand einer wenig aufwendigen Struktur der Tabelle sehr sicher die korrekte Programmkennzeichnung, der PS-Code, bestimmt werden und im folgenden im RDS-Rundfunkempfänger verwendet werden. Damit gelingt es auch, den Benutzer des Rundfunkempfängers sicher mit der korrekten Bezeichnung des Rundfunkprogrammes zu versorgen und damit die Programme sicher zu unterscheiden und die genannten Nachteile des Standes der Technik zu überwinden.The use of frequency in connection has proven to be particularly suitable with the PI code or the frequency in connection with the identification of the transmitter (Transmission tower or transmitter tower). By this embodiment of the invention can use a less complex structure of the table to determine the correct one Program identification, the PS code, are determined and in the following in the RDS radio receiver be used. So it also succeeds to the user of the Radio receiver with the correct name of the radio program to supply and thus differentiate between the programs and the above To overcome disadvantages of the prior art.
Als vorteilhaft hat sich herausgestellt, in der Korrektureinheit eine Analyseeinheit und eine Einheit zur Bildung des korrigierten PS-Codes vorzusehen. Durch diese Trennung können auf modulare Weise verschiedene Analysekonzepte bzw. Konzepte zur Bildung des korrigierten PS-Codes miteinander verknüpft werden, was dem Benutzer je nach örtlichen, regionalen und landerspezifischen Gegebenheiten die optimale Verwendung der geeigneten Kombination aus lokaloptimierter Analyse mit lokaloptimierter, korrigierter PS-Code-Bildung zur Verfügung stehen. Demzufolge ist es in einer Weiterbildung dieser Ausführungsform möglich, daß der Benutzer selbst die jeweiligen Module auswählt und sich die jeweils geeignete Kombination zusammenfügt, um die bestmögliche Wirkung zu erreichen. Damit ist sichergestellt, daß die unerwünschten Fehlfunktionen auf das unumgängliche Maß reduziert werden.It has proven to be advantageous to have an analysis unit in the correction unit and to provide a unit for forming the corrected PS code. Through this separation can use different analysis concepts or concepts for education in a modular way of the corrected PS code are linked together, depending on the user local, regional and country-specific conditions the optimal use the appropriate combination of locally optimized analysis with locally optimized, corrected PS code generation are available. As a result, it is in one Further development of this embodiment possible that the user himself the respective Selects modules and combines the appropriate combination to form the to achieve the best possible effect. This ensures that the unwanted Malfunctions can be reduced to the inevitable dimension.
Als besonders geeignet hat sich herausgestellt, den Rundfunkempfänger so zu betreiben, daß der empfangene PS-Code auf Änderungen untersucht wird und daß beim Vorliegen einer Veränderung des PS-Codes der empfangene PS-Code durch einen korrigierten, von der Korrektureinheit gebildeten PS-Code ersetzt wird, während bei Nichtvorliegen von Änderungen, was vorzugsweise über einen festgelegten Zeitraum rückwirkend betrachtet wird, welcher vorzugsweise im Minutenbereich liegt, keine Korrektur vorgenommen wird und der empfangene PS-Code in der dem RDS-Empfänger üblichen Art verwandt wird. Vorzugsweise wird diese Untersuchung auf eine Veränderung des empfangenen PS-Codes durch eine Detektoreinheit innerhalb der Korrektureinheit durchgeführt. Die Detektoreinheit steuert dann die Korrektureinheit so, daß im Falle von detektierten, festgestellten Veränderungen die Korrektur des empfangenen PS-Codes vorgenommen wird. Mittels einer derartigen Ausgestaltung des RDS-Empfängers gelingt es, den Rechenaufwand des RDS-Empfängers insbesondere bei der Auswertung der RDS-Daten auf das unumgängliche Maß zu reduzieren und dadurch die dadurch freigestellte Rechenleistung für andere Funktionalitäten zur Verfügung zu stellen.It turned out to be particularly suitable to operate the radio receiver in such a way that that the received PS code is examined for changes and that it is present a change in the PS code, the received PS code by a corrected, PS code formed by the correction unit is replaced, while in the absence of changes, which is preferably retrospective over a set period of time is considered, which is preferably in the minute range, no correction is carried out and the received PS code in the usual for the RDS receiver Kind is used. This examination is preferably carried out for a change in the received PS codes by a detector unit within the correction unit carried out. The detector unit then controls the correction unit so that in the case of detected, detected changes the correction of the received PS code is made. By means of such an embodiment of the RDS receiver the computing effort of the RDS receiver is particularly successful in the evaluation reduce the RDS data to the inevitable dimension and thereby the to provide exempted computing power for other functionalities.
