Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for processing audio data intended to be heard on a television receiver.
- the invention applies more particularly to the selection and adjustment of the levels of sound signals emitted by audio sources and received in a television receiver.
- the invention also relates to a graphic element making it possible to adjust several levels of the same physical quantity.
- the context of the present invention is that of audiovisual broadcast receivers, for example digital television receivers.
- a broadcaster transmits audiovisual signals corresponding to audiovisual broadcasts that users can see and listen to on their receivers.
- the network broadcasts audiovisual broadcasts more commonly called "events", as well as data intended to reference them.
- the DVB-SI standard notably defines the format of the following tables such as: NIT, SDT, EIT and possibly BAT.
- the NIT table gives the general structure of the network and indicates the list of transport flows and services broadcast.
- the SDT table gives additional information relating to the services, for example the plain name of a service.
- the EIT table indicates a list of events for each service, and in particular the events being broadcast.
- the BAT table contains information on several services grouped together in a bouquet, these services can come from several broadcasting networks. Using the data contained in these tables, the receiver knows the general content of the audiovisual events broadcast by the network.
- the data transmitted on a service can be audiovisual or audio only. Existing systems do not allow hearing multiple audio sources at the same time.
- the present invention aims to solve this problem and provides the user with great listening comfort when viewing events from a broadcasting network.
- the subject of the invention is a method for adjusting the audio signal levels from a plurality of sources in an audiovisual receiver, comprising:
- - a step of displaying an icon on a screen comprising at least two points representing the two sources and a cursor, - a step of mixing the sound signals by assigning them a determined sound level, characterized in that it comprises a step for adjusting the sound levels being carried out independently for each source by moving the cursor according to at least two dimensions, the distance between this cursor and the point representing a source being proportional to the sound level assigned to this source.
- the sound listened to by the user results from the mixing of several audio sources received through a broadcasting network, the level of each source being adjustable.
- the user can mix the sound of an event transmitted by the broadcasting network with the sound coming from another service broadcast by this same network.
- This other service can only be audio.
- the sound levels are easily visible by the position of a cursor within an icon. The distance between the cursor and the point representing a source being representative of the sound level assigned to this source.
- the user can, using keys on a remote control, move the cursor in the icon, thus modifying the sound levels applied to each source. If during its movement, the cursor reaches the periphery of the icon, the cursor then slides on the periphery in the direction closest to that corresponding to the key pressed.
- the adjustment icon makes it possible to adjust the levels coming from three sources. They then have either a planar appearance allowing successive adjustment of pairs of sound levels, or a three-dimensional appearance, additional direction keys then make it possible to move the cursor in the space delimited by the icon.
- the adjustment icon includes a periphery and a surface.
- the periphery comprises points representing each of the sources, and curved lines having the said points as focus.
- the surface of the icon is colored by a particular color in the immediate vicinity of the angles representing sources, and has a gradient obtained by mixing colors when one moves away from these angles.
- the present invention also relates to an audiovisual receiver comprising means for receiving at least two audiovisual sources, means for transmitting the audio signals received, a means for selecting audio or audiovisual sources, a circuit for mixing the audio signals received from the selected sources, a means of displaying an icon comprising at least two points representing the two sources and a cursor, characterized in that it further comprises means for introducing user commands for moving the cursor in at least two dimensions, the distance between this cursor and the point representing a source is proportional to the sound level assigned to this source.
- the television receiver is designed to implement the improvements of the method previously listed.

- Figure 6 shows an alternative embodiment of the adjustment icon
- Figure 7 shows a screen appearance including the audio setting icon
- FIG. 8 shows a screen appearance comprising the audio adjustment icon after an exchange of the audio and video sources
- FIG. 9 presents a screen appearance comprising the adjustment icon and the image of a first audiovisual service
- FIG. 10 presents a screen appearance comprising the setting icon, in full screen: the image of a first audiovisual service, and in inset: the image of a second audiovisual service;
- Figure 11 shows a screen appearance including the setting icon when a single audiovisual service is selected.
- a standard television receiver is depicted in Figure 1.
- the receiver is, for example, a decoder conforming to DVB specifications. It uses an ISO / IEC 13818-1 transport layer.
- the receiver is connected to an antenna 1, itself connected to a tuner (also called “tuner”) of the decoder.
- the signal supplied by the tuner is demodulated by a demodulator 3.
- the demodulated data are deinterleaved and corrected by an error correcting circuit 4 and transmitted to a demultiplexer 5.
- This comprises a certain number of filters programmed by a microprocessor 23 in function of various - applications supported by the receiver.
- the microprocessor 23 is connected to a memory 12 comprising the operating system as well as the resident or downloaded programs for implementing applications.
- the ROM ROM contains among other things the basic program of the decoder.
- This program includes input-output management routines such as: programming the demultiplexer, receiving orders sent by the remote control, viewing video sequences recorded in memory and specified by a pointer, ... etc.
- a character generator 15 allows the generation of control menus or graphics relating to the parameters of the receiver or to a particular application.
- the generated video signals are multiplexed with one of the video signals coming from the video decoder 17 to a Scart socket (SCART socket) connected to a television screen 22.
- the multiplexing circuit 20 is managed by the microprocessor 23.
- the audio and video signals are transmitted to the television screen and to peripheral devices such as a video recorder, a hi-fi system, speakers, ... etc.
- the receiver is also equipped with a remote control 11, connected to the microprocessor by an infrared link 24.
- This remote control has, among other things, navigation keys (r, ->,, ⁇ ,, 71, ti, ⁇ l), and control keys, the role of which will be detailed below.
- the remote control can also have a joystick (in English, "joy-stic") allowing the movement of a cursor on a map.
- a joystick in English, "joy-stic"
- the sections or data packets containing the audio or audiovisual broadcasts are filtered by the demultiplexer, and are stored in predefined areas of a buffer memory 6.
- FIG. 2 presents a functional block diagram of the receiver according to an exemplary embodiment.
- the main elements are represented.
- the microprocessor 23 which controls the various elements of the receiver, it receives from the user interface 202 the commands that the user develops on the remote control or on the front face of the receiver.
- the receiver is provided with two means for acquiring data streams.
- One way of doing this is to provide the receiver with two tuners, also called “tuners” 203, 205 and two demultiplexers 204, 206.
- the receiver receives from a first reception means 203, 204 a first audiovisual data stream TS and a second reception means 205, 206 a second audiovisual data stream TS.
- the two demultiplexers make it possible to extract from the two streams, the audio components respectively AUDIO1 and AUDIO2. This extraction is carried out by filtering the data packets.
- the two audio streams are then decoded in an audio decoder 207 which transforms the digital data packets into two analog signals SON1 and SON2.
- the two analog signals are mixed in mixing cell 208 to provide a single SOUND audio signal.
- FIG. 3 shows an example of a remote control allowing a user to adjust the audio levels coming from the different audio sources (or AS for short) that the receiver can receive. Then, the user selects a second audiovisual source.
- the first audio source is denoted AS1, and the second source AS2.
- This remote control is in the form of a keyboard with eight direction keys and three control keys arranged circularly around a central point. In the example, the arrow keys have the form of angular sectors with the same center.
- the three control keys are: "EXCH” (represented in FIG. 3 by a circle containing two interlaced arrows) (1), "AS2 Select” (6) and "PIP" (11).
- the keys 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10 allow the user to simultaneously adjust the total sound intensity and the relative intensities of the sound signals from the two services.
- K increase the level of the total volume by increasing the volume of AS1
- - Key 4 71: increase the level of the total volume by increasing the volume of AS2
- - Key 5 ⁇ -: increase the volume of AS1 without increasing the total volume level
- ten presses of the key rs increase the source AS1: Lvl.
- Figure 4 shows the spatial representation of the sound emitted by two audio sources.
- Ten circles surround each of the audio sources, the further we get from the sources, the more the level (and therefore the power) of the sound decreases: 100, 90, ... 20, 10, 0.
- the ovals represent constant values of the sum of the two levels.
- This spatial representation is reproduced on the screen in the form of a so-called “audio adjustment” icon, the outline of which is represented by the three bold curves in FIG. 4.
- the shape of the icon intuitively indicates to the user how the adjustment is made.
- the audio adjustment icon consists of a surface delimited by two arcs of circles arranged along a vertical axis of symmetry.
- Both arcs meet to form a point directed from below, and surmounted by a straight line connecting the two arcs of circle in two points of intersection or corners, one on the left the other on the right. These two points represent the audio sources, AS1 (on the left) and AS2 (on the right).
- the left arc which joins AS1 represents the minimum sound adjustment line for AS2.
- the right arc which joins AS2 is the minimum sound adjustment line for AS1.
- the sound settings are represented graphically by the position of a visual indication moving on the surface of the icon. According to the example provided by the figures, this visual indication is represented by a small round face. The surface of the icon is sufficient to represent all the possible settings, in this way the visual indication does not need to leave the icon. Thus, the entire surface of the screen outside the icon can be devoted to viewing audiovisual broadcasts. There is shown in Figure 4, the displacement of the small face which corresponds to the four series of supports which have been described above.
- Figure 5 shows the mathematical relationship between the sound levels and the position of the little face in the icon. To determine the sound level corresponding to a given point in the figure whose coordinates (x, y) are known, the formulas are applied:
- Figure 7 shows a screen appearance according to a preferred embodiment.
- the screen shows in the background the image 4.1 broadcast by the first service.
- the audio adjustment icon 4.2 is embedded in the middle of the screen at the bottom. It is shown enlarged on the left side of Figures 7,8,9 and 11.
- the names of the two selected services are indicated near the corners. In the example of FIG. 7, the user has selected for AS1 the service called “MCM”, this name is marked near the left corner 4.3, and for AS2 “TF1” which is marked near the right corner 4.4.
- the value of the sound settings is represented by the position in the icon of the small face 4.5 moving like a cursor.
- AS1 MCM
- AS2 noise level of the source
- AS2 the level assigned to AS2
- AS2 the level assigned to AS2
- AS2 the level assigned to AS2
- the user moves the face on the surface delimited by the icon 4.2 using the keys ( ⁇ -, ->, "1 ⁇ ⁇ , rc, 71,, 1 described above.
- the remote control has a gamepad dedicated to adjusting the sound levels.
- the controller allows the cursor to be moved in the same directions as the keys. In all cases, the modification of the sound levels is immediately audible, the validation of the new levels not requiring do not press another key. The little face cannot exit the icon. As shown in figure 9, if the displacement caused by the keys brings it into contact with the edge of the icon, it slides along the edge in the direction closest to that of the initial displacement. In the example illustrated in FIG.
- the surface of the adjustment icon presents a mixture of two colors.
- the designer of the graphic interface chooses two very different colors to identify the two audio sources AS1 and AS2, for example red and green, the mixture of these two colors generates an ocher color.
- the surface inside the icon and near the corners is for example, red near the left corner representing AS1, and green near the right corner representing AS2.
- the color of the intermediate surface between the two corners is a mixture of the two colors.
- the surface away from the left corner (right) has a gradient of red (respectively green) tending towards ocher.
- the color is uniformly ocher. This color gradient intuitively indicates to the user that the audio signals from the two services are mixed. If the cursor is located where the surface is rather red, the sound level assigned to AS1 is higher than that given to AS2. If the cursor is located where the surface is rather green, AS2 dominates.
- the television receiver when the user activates the “PIP” command, the television receiver makes the image of the audiovisual service which is not selected appear in the inset. As shown in Figure 10, the image 10.1 broadcast by the second service selected appears in the medallion in the upper right corner of the screen. The user can thus see the visual content of the second service selected and, if he deems it more interesting, exchange them by activating the "EXCH” command.
- the screen looks like Figure 1 1.
- the setting icon is symbolized as a straight vertical segment on which we find the little face. The small face is moved with the two keys: 1 ⁇ ⁇ whose function is then to increase and decrease the sound of the single audio source.
- the other six keys are inactive.
- the user can for example watch a sports meeting, and add to the sound of the meeting the comments of a journalist broadcast on an audio service he has selected.
- This service can be a radio broadcast present in the bouquet of programs that the user can receive on his decoder.
- the commentary on this sports meeting is issued at the same time (this is the case for example for important football matches).
- the user can also add a musical component to enhance the viewing of an audiovisual program, for example a weather report or a television news.
- the user can also listen to a music program at a fairly loud level and watch (using the PIP function) the television news in medallion while listening to it with a low sound level. This allows you to be informed of bad news with pleasant music!
- the user can exchange the two programs quickly if an event broadcast on the television news service seems important to him (with the EXCH button).
- the user can watch an event having a monophonic audio component and replace this component by a stereophonic component linked to the event in question transmitted at the same time on a service of another type, for example a radio channel, and of better quality. .
- the user can still watch a film by using closed captioning to follow the dialogues for this film, and select the sound from another service. This allows you to watch a film without disturbing people in the same room, who do not want to watch this film and who want to listen to the radio.
- the different values of the sound levels and the characteristics of the audio sources are written in a non-volatile memory.
- the decoder reads from this memory and positions the settings in the same configuration as they were when the power was turned off.
- the embodiment described above concerns the selection of two audio or audiovisual services.
- the present invention can perfectly make it possible to adjust the levels of the audio signals coming from three services.
- three services with audio components AS1, AS2 and AS3, and according to a first embodiment, three adjustment icons appear successively on the screen, the first allows the levels of AS1 and AS2 to be adjusted, the second of AS2 and AS3 and the third from AS3 and AS1.
- the direction and control keys have the same function as what has been previously described.
- the remote control then has two keys allowing to go from one icon to another in the direction: AS1-AS2, then AS2-AS3, then AS3-AS1; or in the other: AS1-AS3, then AS3-AS2, then AS2-AS1.
- the adjustment icon has a three-dimensional appearance on the screen. Additional arrow keys move the cursor in three-dimensional space. Generalization beyond three services is of little interest, especially in terms of hearing, and proves to be very difficult to achieve in terms of graphics.
- the graphic adjustment device can also be used for adjustments other than that of the sound emitted by audio sources.
- the device can be used to adjust the power levels of multiple light sources in a room.
- the setting icon then appears on the control screen of a home automation installation.
- These light sources can be of different colors, and in a particularly advantageous manner, these colors are those of the different corners of the adjustment icon.
- another example is the hot water setting (red color source) cold water (blue color source) of a shower.
- the graphic adjustment device can thus be used to explain how a thermostatic shower mixer works.
- the two direction keys ⁇ -, -> allow the adjustment made by the temperature tap (generally the one on the right).
- the 1 ⁇ ⁇ keys allow adjustment of the flow rate (generally the left one).
