[0022]
FIG. 2 shows a device configuration diagram of the wireless AV station.
[0023]
As shown in FIG. 2, the wireless AV station 101 is roughly composed of three components: an MPEG unit 21, a CPU unit 31, and a communication unit 41. The MPEG unit 21, the CPU unit 31, and the communication unit 41 are connected to a bus 51 such as a PCI bus.
[0024]
The MPEG unit 21 performs a receiving process of the TV broadcast program data, an encoding process of compressing and encoding the received TV broadcast program data, and a decoding process of decoding the compressed and encoded TV broadcast program data. As shown, the MPEG unit 21 includes a TV tuner 211, an NTSC decoder 212, an audio multiplex decoder 213, an audio A / D converter (audio ADC) 214, an MPEG2 encoder 215, a RAM 216, and a PCI bus interface (PCI-IF). 217, an MPEG2 decoder 218, a RAM 219, an audio D / A converter (audio DAC) 220, and the like.
[0025]
The TV tuner 211 is connected to the TV antenna cable 14 via a TV antenna connector 221. The TV tuner 211 is for receiving TV broadcast program data of a channel requested to be viewed from the personal computer 201 or the remote control unit, and receives a TV broadcast signal and selects a channel based on the viewing request. The video signal of the TV broadcast program data of a certain channel received by the TV tuner 211 is sent to the NTSC decoder 212, where the video signal is converted into digital data. The audio signal is sent from the audio multiplex decoder 213 to the audio ADC 214 and converted into a digital signal.
[0026]
The NTSC decoder 212 is also connected to a video input terminal 222, and can also input a video signal from an external video device such as a DVD player or VCR. The audio multiplex signal superimposed on the TV broadcast program data is demodulated by the audio multiplex decoder 213 and then sent to an audio A / D converter (audio ADC) 214 where it is converted into digital data. The audio A / D converter (audio ADC) 214 is also connected to the audio input terminal 223, and can input an audio signal from an external video / audio device.
[0027]
The MPEG2 encoder 215 compression-encodes the input video and audio data, respectively. MPEG2 is used for this compression encoding. The RAM 216 is used as a working memory for the MPEG2 encoder 215 to perform a compression encoding process. The TV broadcast program data received by the TV tuner 211 is compression-encoded by the MPEG2 encoder 215 and converted into an MPEG2 stream.
[0028]
A bus interface (bus-IF) 217 is an interface that connects the MPEG unit 21 to the bus 51 and is used to communicate with the CPU unit 31 and the communication unit 41 via the bus 51. The bus interface (bus-IF) 217 has a built-in register group that can be accessed by the CPU unit 31. The operations of the TV tuner 211 and the MPEG2 encoder 215 correspond to commands set by the CPU unit 31 in the register group. Is controlled.
[0029]
The MPEG2 decoder 218 decodes TV broadcast program data that has been compression-encoded in the MPEG2 format. For example, when viewing the compressed and encoded TV broadcast program data recorded in the HDD 314 on the personal computer 201, the compressed and encoded TV broadcast program data read from the HDD 314 is transmitted to the MPEG2 via the bus interface 217. It is sent to a decoder 218, where it is decoded (decompressed).
[0030]
The RAM 219 is used as a working memory for the MPEG2 decoder 218 to perform a decoding process. The operation of the MPEG2 decoder 218 is also controlled by a command set by the CPU unit 31 in a group of registers in the PCI bus interface 217.
[0031]
The video data decoded by the MPEG2 decoder 218 is sent to the TV receiver 102 or the like via the video output terminal 225 after passing through the graphics 221, and the audio data decoded by the MPEG2 decoder 218 is converted to audio data as necessary. After being converted into an analog signal by a D / A converter (audio DAC) 220, the signal is output from an audio output terminal 224 to an external audio / video device.
[0032]
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the TV broadcast program data decoded by the MPEG2 decoder 218 can be transmitted to the MPEG2 encoder 215, where the compression encoding process can be performed again. This is used for down-conversion processing for converting the transmission rate (bit rate) of the compression-encoded TV broadcast program data recorded on the HDD 314 to a specific transmission rate for wireless transmission.
[0033]
That is, the transmission rate (bit rate) of the TV broadcast program data obtained by the compression encoding process by the MPEG2 encoder 215 according to the image quality (low image quality, standard image quality, high image quality) of the TV broadcast program data to be recorded on the HDD 314 different. If high image quality is selected, the HDD 314 records TV broadcast program data that has been compression-encoded at a very high transmission rate. In this case, the TV broadcast program data may not be transmitted in real time in the wireless communication band. In such a case, a down-conversion process for automatically lowering the transmission rate of TV broadcast program data to be transmitted wirelessly to a specific transmission rate for wireless transmission is automatically executed.
[0034]
The CPU section 31 controls the TV tuner 211, the MPEG2 encoder 215 and the MPEG2 decoder 218 of the tuner / MPEG section 21, and also controls writing of data to the HDD 314 and reading of data from the HDD 314. Further, the CPU unit 31 receives a command related to TV viewing transmitted from the personal computer 201 and transmits TV broadcast program data to be transmitted to the personal computer 201 to the communication unit 41 through communication with the communication unit 41. The CPU section 31 includes a CPU 311, a bridge circuit 312 for connecting the CPU bus of the CPU 311 and the bus 51, a main memory 313, and an HDD 314.

It has a function of transmitting to the requesting personal computer via the communication device 416 or the network controller 414. In this case, the process of transmitting TV broadcast program data to the requesting personal computer is performed in parallel with the transmission and reception of data between the personal computer and the Internet 12.
[0039]
For example, when the personal computer 201 wirelessly connectable to the communication unit 41 is browsing the Internet wirelessly, the TV program data requested from the personal computer 201 is transmitted to the personal computer 201 wirelessly. The processor 411 transmits the content data received from the B server on the Internet 12 and the TV broadcast program data compressed and encoded by the tuner / MPEG unit 21 to the personal computer 103 by wireless communication in a time-division manner. It controls the first wireless communication device 415, the second wireless communication device 416, or the network controller 414. Specifically, the control processor 411 performs a process of multiplexing the content data and the compression-encoded TV broadcast program data, and time-division-multiplexes the multiplexed content data and the TV broadcast program data by wireless communication. Is transmitted to the personal computer 103. As described above, by transmitting the content data and the TV broadcast program data to the personal computer 103 as mutually independent data, the personal computer 103 simultaneously displays the content data and the TV broadcast program data using the corresponding application programs. The display position and display size of each window of the content data and the TV broadcast program data can be freely changed by the corresponding application programs.
