Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pay broadcasting receiving apparatus of a pay broadcasting system including a plurality of broadcasting stations and a plurality of subscriber receiving apparatuses such as a pay satellite broadcasting system and a CATV (Cable Television) broadcasting system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a pay broadcasting system, pay broadcasting services are operated by various methods such as channel units, program units, and time units. When a subscriber subscribes to a pay broadcast, the center (broadcasting station) transmits individual information including the contract content to the receiving device of the subscriber according to the contract content and stores the information. The receiving device of the subscriber can perform viewing control according to the contract information set by the individual information, and can perform a pay service according to the contract of the subscriber. Further, the contract is generally fixed-term, and the center periodically transmits individual information for updating the contract to the receiving device.

FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a conventional pay broadcasting system using a general satellite. When a broadcasting signal is transmitted from the broadcasting station 1001, the receiving device 1002 in each home receives the broadcasting signal, demodulates the signal, and decodes the data, and then obtains a video signal, which is a television receiver (hereinafter referred to as TV). ) Output to 1003. As a result, the user can receive the broadcasting service.
In this case, the receiving device 1002 may be built in the TV.

Further, there are a plurality of broadcasting stations 1001, and individual information corresponding to the contract contents of the user is transmitted from each broadcasting station 1001 to each receiving device 1002. This individual information is generally called EMM (Entitlement management message) data, and is an EMM to which an ID number unique to the receiving device is added.
The data is transmitted from the broadcasting station 1001 to each receiving device 1002 after being multiplexed with the broadcasting signal.

The receiving device 1002 receives the EMM data of itself based on the unique ID and stores the contract information in the receiving device, so that the user can receive the pay broadcasting service based on the contract information. You can Further, since the contract is generally renewed according to the contract period of the pay broadcasting service, the broadcasting station 1001 needs to periodically send the EMM data to each receiving device 1002.

[0006] Since EMM data is transmitted from a plurality of broadcasting stations 1001, the broadcasting station 1001 preliminarily determines the reception time of EMMs (transmission time from the broadcasting station side).
Set to 2. As a setting method of this reception time,
When sending the contract information, it is possible to set it including the next renewal time, or to separately set the EMM data separately.

Furthermore, in the above broadcasting system, PPV (Pa
y Par View) When operating according to the viewing method and billing according to the program viewed, the receiving device 1002 may send the viewed program information to the broadcasting station 1001 using the public line 1004.

[0008]

In the conventional pay broadcasting system as described above, generally, individual information (EMM) is included in the broadcast signal.
Data) and transmits it. However, since it is not known from a large number of receiving devices 1002 when the individual information is sent, the receiving device 1002 needs to receive the broadcast signal even when the subscriber turns off the power. Therefore, the receiving apparatus 1002 originally has to be turned off, but it is necessary to energize most of the inside of the receiver to receive individual information, which causes a problem of wasting power.

In Japanese Patent Application No. 10-318153, in order to solve this problem, the time to receive the individual information is set in advance from the center to the receiver, and when the subscriber turns off the power, the individual information is stored. Power is saved by receiving the signal and turning on the minimum required power supply other than that time.

However, when there are a plurality of centers (broadcasting stations 1001) that independently carry out pay businesses and a plurality of pay broadcasting services are provided, the receiving apparatus 1002 needs to acquire a plurality of individual information. On the other hand, in the above-mentioned publicly known example, when the time to receive the individual information overlaps,
There is no consideration of means for receiving individual information from multiple centers, and there are problems such as biased to receiving only individual information from specific centers, or in the worst case, inability to receive individual information from multiple centers. These problems have not been solved because no consideration has been given to avoiding.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to save power and to transmit from individual broadcasting stations even when transmission times of individual information overlap. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pay-broadcast receiving device that can receive individual information without omission, and can receive individual information from a plurality of broadcasting stations evenly without being biased to receiving individual information from a specific broadcasting station. .

[0012]

FIG. 3B shows an example of order control information for controlling the order of receiving EMM data from each broadcasting station based on the control table. In the example of the figure, the pointer 307 corresponding to the record number of the control table is used. Composed.

The receiving apparatus 1002 is in a state of being able to receive EMM data when the sub power supply is on (when the sub power supply switch 118 is on), but it is arbitrary because the user is receiving and watching a program of a specific broadcasting station. Cannot receive EMM data. In this embodiment, when the user turns off the sub power supply, the auxiliary control circuit 115 detects this and turns on the sub power supply switch 118 to turn on the control circuit 11.
2 to perform EMM data reception processing. As a result, the control circuit 112 refers to the sequence control information and the control table to sequentially receive the EMM data from the broadcasting station during the transmission period of the EMM data.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a procedure for receiving EMM data from a plurality of broadcasting stations when the sub power supply is turned off. The procedure of EMM data reception control by the control circuit 112 referring to the sequence control information and the control table will be described below according to this flow.

First, in the process 401, the control circuit 112 reads a pointer from the pointer PT of FIG. 3B and sets it as a pointer (variable p). Next, in process 402, after the read pointer p is set to Ps, the process proceeds to process 403.

In process 403, the pointer p is incremented by +1. In process 404, it is determined whether p is larger than the record number n in FIG. 3A. If p is n or less, the process jumps to process 406. , P is greater than n, p is returned to 1 in step 405, and the process proceeds to step 406. In process 406, it is determined whether p is Ps,
If it is Ps, the process proceeds to step 414, and if not, the process proceeds to step 407.

At step 407, the control circuit 112 causes the control circuit 112 shown in FIG.
Start date DB (p) 30 in the control table shown in (A)
3. Compare the end date DE (p) with the current date, and if the current date is within the period of the start date and the end date, receive the EMM data by the following process.

In process 408, the received CH (p) 306 in the control table pointed to by the pointer p is referred to, and the EMM is executed.
Select the receiving channel or packet of the broadcasting station to which the data is transmitted. In process 409, the EMM data reception end time Te is set by adding the time T (p) required for the EMM data reception of the broadcasting station pointed to by the pointer p to the current date and time indicated by the clock 114. In steps 410 and 411, the EMM data is received, and the contract data in the received EMM data is stored in the non-volatile memory 110. Also,
When this reception includes the next EMM data reception control information, the control circuit 112 updates the control table in the nonvolatile memory 113.

In process 412, the control circuit 112 compares the current time with the EMM data reception end time Te, and when the EMM data reception end time is reached, in process 413, the process shown in FIG.
P is written in the pointer PT in the sequence control information shown in (B), and the process returns to step 403. Here, the reason for updating the pointer PT is that the pointer of the received broadcasting station is saved,
This is to prevent the next EMM data reception control process from being biased to one broadcasting station.

After that, in order to receive the EMM data of the next broadcasting station, the same processing is repeated from the processing 403. After such a repeated process, in process 406, p = Ps and the control circuit 112 makes one round of reference to the control table. Then, the process proceeds to process 413, where the control circuit 112 instructs the auxiliary control circuit 115 to operate the sub power supply. By turning off the switch 118, the circuit portion 121 turned on during the control processing
Is turned off to return the device to the state before the control processing.

During the above processing, when the user turns on the sub power source from off, the user's will is given priority and the EM
The M data reception process is interrupted. However, since the pointer PT indicating the record number corresponding to the broadcast station that last executed the EMM data reception is stored in the non-volatile memory 113, the EMM data reception process will be interrupted from the next processing. Executed from. Further, since the pointer PT is stored in the non-volatile memory 113, the storage is held even when the main power supply is turned off (main power supply switch 120 is turned off).

According to the present embodiment, the power supply of the circuit portion 121 is turned on only during the EMM data reception processing.
Power consumption can be reduced. Further, by receiving the EMM data in order from the EMM data receivable station using the order control information shown in FIG. 3B, even when the times for receiving the individual information are overlapped, the plurality of broadcasting stations can The individual information can be received without omission, and the sequence control information is stored in the non-volatile memory 113 even when the sub power is turned on or the main power is turned off by a user operation. It is possible to receive individual information from a plurality of broadcasting stations evenly without being biased toward reception.

In the above embodiment, the control circuit 112 is used.
The EMM data receiving process is started by the user when the sub power supply is turned off (the sub power supply switch 118 is turned off) by the user. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the same effect can be obtained by using various start methods. .

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing a second embodiment of the pay broadcast receiving apparatus of the present invention. However, since the configuration of the pay broadcast receiving apparatus of this example is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the configuration of FIG. The flowchart of FIG. 5 also shows the EMM when the sub power supply is off.
It is an example showing a flow of processing of the control circuit 112 at the time of receiving data. The operation from processing 501 to processing 513 in this example is exactly the same as that of FIG. 4, but the difference is the operation from processing 514 to processing 516.

That is, when the operations from the processing 501 to the processing 513 are performed several times, and in the processing 506, p = Ps and the EMM data reception processing from each broadcasting station makes one cycle, the control circuit 112 causes the processing 514. Proceed to. In the process 514, FIG.
The order of the arrangement of the record numbers included in the control table as shown in (A) is changed using the start date DB as a key. For example, if the record numbers are sorted in ascending order of the start date DB, the earliest start date will be referred to first in the next EMM data reception process. In process 502, the pointer PT shown in FIG. 3B is updated along with the rearrangement of records, and then in process 516, the circuit 121 is updated.
The power supply to is turned off, and the EMM data reception processing ends.

According to the present embodiment, the nonvolatile memory 1
By rearranging the record numbers of the control table in 13, for example, the record numbers are rearranged in ascending order of the start date DB, and in the next EMM data reception process, the broadcasting station with the earlier start date is referred to first. E in this order
MM data reception processing can be performed. Other effects are similar to those of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and have similar effects.

Various conditions can be considered as the conditions for rearranging the record numbers in the control table, such as the order in which the broadcast end date of EMM data is earlier.

The activation operation of the EMM data receiving process of this embodiment will be described below. When the user turns off the sub power switch 118 while the power switch 120 is on, the control circuit 112 performs the EMM data receiving process according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 4 or 5.

After that, when the sub power switch 118 remains off, the auxiliary control circuit 115 turns on the sub power switch 118 every two to three days, for example, according to the schedule stored in the memory 601 to control the control circuit. 1
12 starts the EMM data reception process.

As another activation method, each time the control table in the non-volatile memory 113 is updated, this control table is transferred to the memory 601 and loaded there. After that, when the sub power switch 118 remains off, the auxiliary control circuit 115 checks the EMM data broadcast start date and end date of records 1 to n of the control table in the memory 601 at predetermined intervals. As a result, the current date and time is E
When the start date and the end date of the MM data broadcasting are reached, the auxiliary control circuit 115 turns on the sub power switch 118 to cause the control circuit 112 to execute the process of receiving the EMM data from the corresponding broadcasting station. The EMM data reception process is performed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 4 or 5.

According to the present embodiment, the EMM data can be received while the sub power supply is off, other than immediately after the user turns off the sub power supply (off of the sub power supply switch 118). Therefore, even if the sub power supply is off for a long time, the EMM data from each broadcasting station can be received, and even if the user then turns on the sub power supply and receives the broadcast program, You can receive the contents of the street without any problems.
