Description

  The present invention relates to a broadcast receiving apparatus, and more particularly to a digital television broadcast receiving apparatus and a program guide display method capable of displaying a program guide based on received program guide data.

  As is well known, in recent years, digitalization of television broadcasting has been promoted. For example, in Japan, in addition to satellite broadcasting such as BS (Broadcasting Satellite) broadcasting using a broadcasting satellite and CS (Communication Satellite) broadcasting using a communication satellite, digital broadcasting has also started in terrestrial broadcasting. .

  In television broadcasting, EPG (Electronic Program Guide, program guide data) information is provided in addition to broadcast signals including video signals and audio signals for each channel. The receiving device creates a program guide based on the received EPG information and displays it on the screen.

  By the way, there is a standard called high-definition broadcasting in digital broadcasting. In that case, the data capacity (broadcast signal bandwidth) required for each channel is about three channels of normal broadcasting.

  For this reason, in a channel having a data capacity capable of high-definition broadcasting, broadcast signals for normal broadcasting can be provided for three channels at the same time. In addition, in a channel having a capacity capable of high-definition broadcasting, a display space is secured so that each of the plurality of channels can be displayed for EPG information in consideration of the case where a plurality of broadcast signals for normal broadcasting are supplied. The

  When broadcasting one high-definition broadcast program without broadcasting separate regular broadcast programs on three channels, the same program can be viewed regardless of which channel is selected, based on information called event sharing. It is possible to recognize that the programs are the same. Event sharing is operated within a broadcaster (operator) for BS digital broadcasting and within a broadcasting station for terrestrial digital broadcasting.

Patent Document 1 proposes to allocate the remaining display space for normal broadcasting in which there is no EPG data to be displayed when the high-definition broadcast is broadcast to widen the display space. .
JP 2004-153865 A

  However, with the display method disclosed in Patent Document 1, even when high-definition broadcasts are not broadcast within the display target period, many display spaces are always secured for multi-channel display channels as EPG display. Is done.

  On the other hand, if there are many operators and broadcasting stations that constantly broadcast high-definition broadcasts by sharing events, the number of operators and broadcasting stations that can be displayed on a single screen in exchange for an increase in the display space of one program will decrease. As a result, the listability is impaired.

  As a countermeasure, a method of switching between “multi-channel display” for displaying all channels broadcasted from the service provider and broadcast station and “one-channel display” for displaying only one channel for each service provider and broadcast station. Has already been devised.

  However, when the program table is displayed by switching to “1-channel display”, the program information is missed even though there are times when different programs are broadcast on a plurality of channels (the program information is missed). )There's a problem.

  The object of the present invention is to change the display mode according to the characteristics of the channel when displaying the program table based on the received program table data, especially in terrestrial digital broadcasting in which the receivable channel is unknown at the time of shipment. A broadcast receiving apparatus and a program guide display method are provided.

  The present invention has been made based on the above problems, and in a terrestrial digital broadcast program guide display method capable of switching the display method according to the display attribute of the broadcast station, the display attribute of the broadcast station is set according to the identification of the local operator. The present invention provides a program guide display method characterized by switching.

  According to the present invention, in the program guide display method for displaying a program guide based on the acquired program information, when it is detected that the program is broadcast by event sharing in the acquired program guide, The present invention provides a program guide display method characterized by determining the maximum number of programs to be simultaneously broadcast from a broadcasting company or a broadcasting station as a supplier and switching the display of the program guide.

  As described above, in the broadcast receiving apparatus and the program guide display method of the present invention, the display space for EPG information for a channel for which a band (data capacity) for high-definition broadcasting is secured is a plurality of channels for normal broadcasting. Except when different programs are provided simultaneously, the size of the display space is changed according to the display space for one channel of normal broadcasting. Therefore, in a time zone when independent programs are not broadcast on a plurality of channels or in an EPG display target period, a display space for EPG information of a normal broadcast channel is not suppressed, and easy-to-see EPG display is possible.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a digital television broadcast receiver.

  The digital television broadcast receiver 11 is transmitted from, for example, a flat panel type video display 14 including a surface-conduction electron-emitter display (SED) display panel, a liquid crystal display panel, a speaker 15, an operation unit 16, and a remote controller 17. A light receiving unit 18 that receives operation information (input signal) to be received. In the broadcast receiving apparatus 11, the operation, display, or audio output of each unit is comprehensively controlled by a control unit (also referred to as a control block or a main board) 60. The control unit 60 incorporates a main control IC represented by a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 61, and receives operation information (input) from the operation unit 16 or operation information sent from the remote controller 17 by the light receiving unit 18. Each part is controlled so that the operation content corresponding to the (remote control input) control signal is reflected. The control unit 60 also stores, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 62 that holds a control program executed by the CPU 61, a RAM (Ramdom Access Memory) 63 that provides a work area for the CPU 61, and various setting information and control information. Non-volatile memory (Non Volatility Memory) 64 is included. The broadcast receiving apparatus 11 includes a clock (timer controller) 80 connected to the control unit 60, and can set time management and a recording reservation set by an input from a user.

  Hereinafter, main signal processing systems of the digital television broadcast receiver 11 will be described.

  The satellite digital television broadcast signal received by the BS / CS digital broadcast receiving antenna 42 is supplied to the satellite digital broadcast tuner 44 via the input terminal 43.

  The tuner 44 selects a broadcast signal of a desired channel based on a control signal from the control unit 60, and outputs the selected broadcast signal to a PSK (Phase Shift Keying) demodulator 45.

  The PSK demodulator 45 demodulates the broadcast signal selected by the tuner 44 based on the control signal from the control unit 60, obtains a transport stream including a desired program, and outputs the transport stream to the TS decoder 46. .

  The TS decoder 46 performs TS decoding processing on the transport stream (TS) multiplexed signal according to the control signal from the control unit 60, and sends the digital video signal and audio signal of the desired program to the signal processing unit 47. Output various data (service information), electronic program guide (EPG) information, program attribute information (program genre, etc.), subtitle information, etc. for acquiring a program transmitted by digital broadcasting to the control unit 60. .

  The terrestrial digital television broadcast signal received by the terrestrial broadcast receiving antenna 48 is supplied to the terrestrial digital broadcast tuner 50 via the input terminal 49.

  The tuner 50 selects a broadcast signal of a desired channel based on a control signal from the control unit 60, and outputs the selected broadcast signal to an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) demodulator 51.

  The OFDM demodulator 51 demodulates the broadcast signal selected by the tuner 50 based on the control signal from the control unit 60, obtains a transport stream including a desired program, and outputs the transport stream to the TS decoder 56.

  Under the control of the control unit 60, the TS decoder 56 performs TS decoding processing on the transport stream (TS) multiplexed signal, and sends the digital video signal and audio signal of the desired program to the signal processing unit 47. Various data for acquiring a program transmitted by digital broadcasting, electronic program guide (EPG) information, program attribute information (program genre, etc.) and the like are output to the control unit 60.

  The terrestrial analog television broadcast signal received by the terrestrial broadcast receiving antenna 48 is supplied to the terrestrial analog broadcast tuner 52 via the input terminal 49, so that the broadcast signal of the desired channel is selected. . The broadcast signal selected by the tuner 52 is demodulated into an analog video signal and audio signal by the analog demodulator 53 and then output to the signal processing unit 47.

  The signal processing unit 47 selectively performs predetermined digital signal processing on the digital video signal and audio signal respectively supplied from the PSK demodulator 45 and the OFDM demodulator 51, and the graphic processing unit 54 and the audio processing unit 55 is output.

  The signal processing unit 47 is also connected with a plurality (four in the illustrated case) of input terminals 40a, 40b, 40c, and 40d. These input terminals 40a to 40d are capable of inputting analog video signals and audio signals from the outside of the broadcast receiving apparatus 11, respectively.

  The signal processing unit 47 selectively digitizes the analog video signal and audio signal supplied from the analog demodulator 53 and the input terminals 40a to 40d, respectively, and performs the digitization on the digitized video signal and audio signal. After performing predetermined digital signal processing, the digital signal is output to the graphic processing unit 54 and the audio processing unit 55.

  The graphic processing unit 54 has a function of superimposing and outputting the OSD signal generated by the OSD (On Screen Display) signal generation unit 57 on the digital video signal supplied from the signal processing unit 47. The graphic processing unit 54 selectively outputs the output video signal of the signal processing unit 47 and the output OSD signal of the OSD signal generation unit 57, and combines both outputs so as to constitute half of the screen. Can be output.

  The output OSD signal output from the OSD signal generation unit 57 is set in a “semi-transparent” state (transparent part of the normal video signal is transmitted on the normal video display by setting the α blending parameter. (Possibly) can be superimposed and output.

  The graphic processing unit 54 also performs processing for superimposing the caption information on the video signal based on the control signal and the caption information from the control unit 60 when the broadcast signal is accompanied by the caption signal and the caption can be displayed.

  The digital video signal output from the graphic processing unit 54 is supplied to the video processing unit 58. The video processing unit 58 converts the input digital video signal into an analog video signal in a format that can be displayed on the video display (display device) 14, and then outputs it to the video display 14 to display the video. Output to an external device (DVD recorder or the like) connected to the output terminal 19 is possible.

  The audio processing unit 55 converts the input digital audio signal into an analog audio signal in a format that can be reproduced by the speaker 15, and then outputs the analog audio signal to the speaker 15 for audio reproduction, and also externally connected to the output terminal 20. It can be output to a device (headphone device or the like).

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a program guide created based on the received program guide data, that is, EPG information, and displayed on the video display 14.

  As already explained, there is a standard called high-definition broadcasting in digital broadcasting. In this case, the data capacity required for each channel (band of the broadcast signal) is equivalent to a plurality of channels of normal broadcasting (currently 3). About the channel). Therefore, in a channel having a data capacity capable of high-definition broadcasting, “multi-channel display” is generally used for EPG information in consideration of the case where broadcast signals for a plurality of channels are supplied in normal broadcasting. It is done. That is, in a channel provided with a wide band capable of high-definition broadcasting, a plurality of different programs can be broadcast independently during non-high-definition broadcasting.

  In addition, even when different programs are broadcast on each of a plurality of channels in normal broadcasting, it is called “one channel display (“ representative channel display ”) in which EPG (program guide) display is for one channel. Is also possible). However, when the program table is displayed in “1-channel display” or “representative channel display”, the program information is missed even though there are time zones in which different programs are broadcast on a plurality of channels (program information). Overlooked). Needless to say, the “representative channel display (“ 1-channel display ”)” has a larger number of channels (broadcast stations) that can be displayed on the same size screen (display on the video display 14).

  For example, FIG. 3 is an example using “multi-channel display (that is, multi-program display)” on the assumption that a plurality of programs are provided in all broadcasters (broadcast stations) or channels. In the example, only three channels (broadcast stations) are displayed.

  For example, an operator or a broadcasting station that broadcasts a plurality of independent programs regularly or with a specific program preferably uses “multi-channel display” as the normal program guide display. On the other hand, it is possible to always display the program table of “1-channel display (“ representative channel display ”)” for the operators and broadcast stations that regularly broadcast high-definition broadcasts with event sharing.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, only “multichannel display” is used for a broadcaster (broadcasting station) or a channel where a plurality of programs are provided. In this example, one multichannel broadcasting station is used. 5 stations (channels) can be displayed in combination with 4 broadcast stations (channels) without multi-channel broadcasting.

  In addition, it is detected whether there is a broadcast (broadcaster) that is preferably “multi-channel display” in the EPG information within the period to be displayed on the video display 14 shown in FIGS. 2 is used only when there is a broadcast for which “multi-channel display” is preferable, so that it is detected whether there is a broadcast (channel) for which “multi-channel display” is preferable. The method will be described below.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of detecting the presence or absence of a broadcast (channel) that is preferably “multi-channel display”.

  In step S1, an EPG (program guide) creation (display) mode is started.

  Next, a loop for checking the presence / absence of a broadcast that is preferably “multi-channel display” from the received EPG information for each channel in the broadcaster or broadcasting station (specified in each step up to step S6 in the subsequent stage). The first loop is started (S2).

  Subsequently, for each broadcaster (channel) specified in step S2, a loop for checking whether or not there is a broadcast that is preferably “multi-channel display” within the EPG display period (specified in each step up to step S5 in the subsequent stage). (Second loop) to be started (S3).

  Hereinafter, when it is detected that there is a broadcast (in this case, a program that is preferably "multi-channel display") different from other channels (broadcast stations) in the first and second loops, in the EPG creation mode, “Multi-channel display” is set (S4-Yes).

  On the other hand, if it is checked that the EPG information of all channels is the same in the first and second loops (a program that is preferable to “multi-channel display” is not found), in the EPG creation mode, “Representative channel display” is set (S4-No, S5, S6).

  Note that, for example, even if the user can switch between the display of the multi-channel and the representative channel, if the display of the program table of “representative channel display” is set, the display is the representative channel display. May not be aware that the program (“multi-channel broadcasting”) will be broadcast.

  Therefore, in step S4 described above, for example, by actually confirming the content of the program information by an EIT (Event Information Table) transmitted by broadcast waves, for example, an operator or a broadcasting station that broadcasts a plurality of programs, for example, BS digital For broadcasts or digital terrestrial broadcasts, etc., “multi-channel display” is used to reduce the possibility of overlooking program information, and for broadcasters or broadcast stations that broadcast only one program (only one program is broadcast) By using “channel display”, it is possible to improve the listability.

  In practice, as shown in FIG. 4, it is confirmed whether there is a broadcast of a plurality of programs in the search time range, and when the time of the plurality of programs is found, it is determined that the display is multi-channel display. The search time zone is the time that can be displayed on the program guide 1 screen, one day (0: 00 to 24:00 or 4: 00 to 4:00 on the next day), or all time zones in which program information is held , Etc.

  That is, according to this method, the contents of the EIT of the business operator and the broadcasting station are judged, and the business operator and the broadcasting station that broadcast a plurality of programs display the multi-channel, and the business operator broadcasts only one program by sharing the event. The broadcasting station can switch the display attributes of the broadcaster and the broadcasting station so that the representative channel is displayed. As a result, it is possible to improve the listability and to prevent the program information from being overlooked (overlooked).

  FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a method for setting “1 channel (representative channel) display” of terrestrial digital broadcasting in the EPG creation mode.

  At present, the terrestrial digital broadcasting service area is being expanded gradually, the broadcasting stations that can be received differ depending on the receiving area. At the time of shipment of products (television receivers and recording devices with tuners), television receivers and tuners are included. A recording device or the like does not have information about receivable broadcast stations, and can actually receive a broadcast station by an operation of channel preset (processing) including initial scan at the time of installation / first power-on or manual re-scan by the user. In accordance with the detection result, the receivable broadcasting station and channel are determined.

  For this reason, it is difficult to set the representative channel information for displaying the “representative channel display” in advance by the time of shipment.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, for the broadcasting station that designates (selects) “representative channel display” (S11-Yes), the service with the smallest service number is searched (S12), and based on the search result. By setting the channel or broadcasting station to be displayed as “representative channel display” (S13), it is possible to display “representative channel display” without requiring the user to set (determine) “representative channel display”. It becomes.

  As described above, for example, by selecting “representative channel display” using the result of the initial scan at the time of installation / first-time energization, the representative channel display can be performed without requiring a troublesome operation by the user.

  That is, according to this method, when the representative channel display of digital terrestrial broadcasting is performed without the user's service designation based on the scan result (at the time of installation / initial energization), the service with the smallest service number is automatically selected. It can be set as a representative channel. As a result, it is possible to improve the listability and to prevent the program information from being overlooked (overlooked).

  By the way, looking at terrestrial digital broadcasting in the Kanto area, NHK Sogo is operating multiple programs (multi-channel) for some programs, and NHK education is about multiple programs (multi-channel) for several hours a day. ). On the other hand, it seems that each broadcasting station does not operate multiple programs.

  By judging the program information actually held, it is possible to prevent the program information from being overlooked when operating multiple programs. However, considering the operation mode, NHK is “multi-channel display” and commercial broadcasting is “representative channel display”. It can be expected that the same effect can be obtained with a simpler process than the determination of the program information.

  In digital terrestrial broadcasting, information on opening schedules in each location is retained for automatic setting to the one-touch button on the remote control from the area set in the receiver and the broadcast station determined to be receivable by the scanning process. Is assumed. Using this information, the broadcast station is determined for the receivable broadcast stations, and the program table display attributes such as switching between multi-channel / representative channel display are determined (“multi-channel display” and “representative channel display”). Can be switched / selection of one of the display methods).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, based on the value of network identification (identification result), a broadcast station determination (identification of receivable broadcast stations) is performed. May be calculated (extracted).

  Specifically, when the broadcast station extracted (searched) by the network identification is the broadcast station A (S21-Yes), the predetermined “display attribute for the broadcast station A” is used to extract ( When the searched broadcast station is the broadcast station B (S22-Yes), the setting of “body surface channel display / multi-channel display” by the user is made by using the “display attribute for the broadcast station B”. It is possible to display “representative channel display” or “multi-channel display” without requiring any (decision) operation.

  Hereinafter, for all broadcast stations or channels that can be received, a “display attribute” predetermined for each extracted (searched) broadcast station (S23,...) Is used. For each channel, “representative channel display” or “multi-channel display” can be displayed.

  That is, according to this method, when the display attribute of the program guide is automatically switched by the broadcast station, the representative channel display is performed based on the “display attribute” for each broadcast station extracted (searched) as a scan result. It can be set automatically. Thereby, listability can be improved.

  It is also possible to calculate (extract) the area identification and the area operator identification from the network identification, determine the broadcasting station, and determine the program guide display attribute.

  For example, in the currently open (terrestrial digital broadcasting) opening schedule information, NHK General (provides broadcasting on a nationwide scale) has a local operator identification value of “0”, and NHK education (provides broadcasting on a nationwide scale). Is), the value of the local business operator identification is “1”.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 7, the value of the local business operator identification is calculated (S31), and the calculation result is “0” (S32-Yes) and “1” (S33-Yes). In the case of using “display attribute (“ multi-channel broadcasting may be provided) ”” for NHK, and when the calculation result is not “0”, “1” (S33-No), non-NHK "Display attributes" ("Multi-channel broadcasting is not scheduled in principle)" can also be used.

  According to this method, there is a region where NHK opening information is not disclosed, but it is simply determined as “NHK” by only the value of the local operator identification, and “multi-channel display” / “representative channel display” ”And the like can be determined.

  That is, it is possible to simplify the determination of “NHK” and “other than NHK (private broadcasting)” based only on the value of the local business operator identification.

  That is, according to this method, when the display attribute of the program guide is automatically switched by the broadcasting station, the representative channel display can be automatically set according to the opening schedule information. As a result, it is possible to improve the listability and reduce oversight of program information.

  Also, the broadcast station display attributes after scanning can be set to “multi-channel display” for NHK and “representative channel display” for commercial broadcasting according to the sequence identification sent by BIT (Broadcaster Information Table). .

  That is, as shown in FIG. 8, when the sequence identification is “0” (S41-Yes) and “1” (S42-Yes), it is determined to be NHK, and the “display attribute ( If “multi-channel broadcasting may be provided” is used and the sequence identification is other than “0” or “1” (S42-No), “display attributes (“ multi-channel broadcasting is In principle, there is no plan)).

  It should be noted that a plurality of sequence identifications sent by BIT (Broadcaster Information Table) can be specified, and in a region where there are few broadcasting stations, it is considered that one private broadcasting station belongs to a plurality of sequences. Although it is difficult to switch the “display attribute”, the identification method shown in FIG. 8 can be used to distinguish between NHK and commercial broadcasting.

  Further, the series identification is not necessarily the best for switching (selecting) between “multi-channel display” and “representative channel display”, but it can also be used, for example, for identification between commercial broadcasting and NHK.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, “representative channel display” / “multi-channel display” can be identified and automatically switched for each broadcaster (broadcast station) or each channel in the EPG display period. Therefore, it is possible to secure a display area for more broadcasters (broadcast stations) or channels, and to display a program list with a high listability by displaying a large number of operators.

  Even when “representative channel display” is set (selected), the displayed EPG is switched to “multichannel display” during “multichannel” broadcasting in which a plurality of programs are provided. Performance is improved, and oversight of program information is reduced.

  Note that the program or broadcast in this specification may be a program based only on audio in addition to a program based on normal television broadcasting using moving images and audio. Further, the program or broadcast is not necessarily provided by public broadcasting, but may be provided by the Internet, a dedicated line, or the like.

  Further, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications or changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention at the stage of implementation. Further, the individual embodiments may be appropriately combined as much as possible, and in that case, the effect of the combination can be obtained.
