[Outline of MMT method]
The broadcast receiving apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1 is defined as an MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) -2 system that is widely used in conventional digital broadcasting systems as a media transport method for transmitting data such as video and audio. It is assumed that the television receiver is compatible with MMT (MPEG Media Transport) instead of TS (Transport Stream) (hereinafter, referred to as MPEG2-TS). It may be a television receiver compatible with both MPEG2-TS and MMT.

  The MPEG2-TS is characterized in that components such as video and audio which form a program are multiplexed into one stream together with a control signal and a clock. Since it is handled as one stream including the clock, it is suitable for transmitting one content through one transmission path with secured transmission quality, and has been adopted in many conventional digital broadcasting systems. On the other hand, the functions of MPEG2-TS against recent environmental changes related to content distribution, such as diversification of content, diversification of devices that use content, diversification of transmission channels for content distribution, diversification of content storage environment, etc. Due to the limitation of MMT, the newly established media transport method is MMT.

  FIG. 2A shows an example of the outline of the coded signal in the MMT of this embodiment. As shown in the figure, the MMT of this embodiment has an MFU (Media Fragment Unit), an MPU (Media Processing Unit), an MMTP (MMT Protocol) payload, and an MMTP packet as elements constituting a coded signal. And The MFU is a format for transmitting video and audio, and may be configured in NAL (Network Abstraction Layer) unit units or access unit units. The MPU may be composed of MPU metadata that includes information about the configuration of the entire MPU, movie fragment metadata that includes information about encoded media data, and sample data that is encoded media data. Further, it is assumed that the MFU can be extracted from the sample data. Further, in the case of media such as video components and audio components, the presentation time and decoding time may be specified in MPU units or access unit units. FIG. 2B shows an example of the configuration of the MPU.

  The MMTP packet is composed of a header part and an MMTP payload, and is supposed to transmit control information of MFU and MMT. The MMTP payload has a payload header according to the contents (data unit) stored in the payload section. FIG. 2C shows an example of an outline of constructing an MFU from a video / audio signal, storing it in an MMTP payload, and constructing an MMTP packet. It should be noted that, in a video signal that is encoded using inter-frame prediction, it is desirable that the MPU be configured in GOP (Group Of Pictures) units. Further, when the size of the MFU to be transmitted is small, one MFU may be stored in one payload part, or a plurality of MFUs may be stored in one payload part. If the size of the MFU to be transmitted is large, one MFU may be divided into a plurality of payload parts and stored. In addition, the MMTP packet may be protected using a technique such as AL-FEC (Application Layer Forward Error Correction) or ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request) in order to recover packet loss on the transmission path.

  In the broadcasting system of the present embodiment, MPEG-H HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) is used as a video encoding method, and MPEG-4 AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) or MPEG-4 ALS (Audio Lossless) is used as an audio encoding method. Coding) shall be used. Encoded data such as video and audio of a broadcast program encoded by each of the above-mentioned schemes is in the form of MFU or MPU, further carried on an MMTP payload to be converted into an MMTP packet, and transmitted as an IP (Internet Protocol) packet. And Further, the data content related to the broadcast program may be in the format of MFU or MPU, may be further loaded on the MMTP payload to be converted into an MMTP packet, and transmitted as an IP packet. Data content transmission methods include caption / superimposed character transmission methods used for streaming data synchronized with broadcasting, application transmission methods used for data transmission asynchronous with broadcasting, and synchronous / asynchronous messages for applications operating on a television receiver. Four types of event message transmission methods used for notification and other general-purpose data transmission methods for transmitting general-purpose data in a synchronous / asynchronous manner are prepared.

  For transmission of MMTP packets, UDP / IP (User Datagram Protocol / Internet Protocol) is used in the broadcast transmission line, and UDP / IP or TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) is used in the communication line. . Further, it is assumed that a TLV (Type Length Value) multiplexing method is used in the broadcast transmission path for efficient transmission of IP packets. FIG. 3 shows an example of the protocol stack of the broadcasting system of this embodiment. In the figure, (A) is an example of a protocol stack in a broadcast transmission path, and (B) is an example of a protocol stack in a communication line.

  The broadcasting system of the present embodiment is provided with a mechanism for transmitting two types of control information, MMT-SI (MMT-Signaling Information) and TLV-SI (TLV-Signaling Information). MMT-SI is control information indicating the configuration of broadcast programs. It is assumed that the format of the MMT control message is such that it is carried in the MMTP payload to form an MMTP packet, which is then transmitted as an IP packet. The TLV-SI is control information regarding multiplexing of IP packets, and provides information for channel selection and IP address-service correspondence information.

  Also, in a broadcasting system using MMT, time information is transmitted to provide absolute time. It should be noted that while the MPEG2-TS indicates the display time of the component based on a clock that is different for each TS, the MMT indicates that the display time of the component is based on the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). To do. With these mechanisms, it becomes possible for the terminal device to synchronously display the components transmitted from different transmission points through different transmission paths. It is assumed that an NTP (Network Time Protocol) type IP packet is used to provide UTC.

<Relationship between data transmission and each control information in MMT system>
Here, with reference to FIG. 6E, the relationship between data transmission and a typical table in the broadcast system to which the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment corresponds will be described.

  In the broadcast system supported by the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, data transmission can be performed through a plurality of routes such as a TLV stream via a broadcast transmission line and an IP data flow via a communication line. The TLV stream includes TLV-SI such as TLV-NIT and AMT, and IP data flow which is a data flow of IP packet. The IP data flow includes a video asset including a series of video MPUs and an audio asset including a series of audio MPUs. Similarly, the IP data flow may include a subtitle asset including a series of subtitle MPUs, a character superasset including a series of character super MPUs, a data asset including a series of data MPUs, and the like. These various assets are associated in a unit of "package" by an MPT (MMT package table) stored in a PA message and transmitted. Specifically, the MPT has a package ID (corresponding to the “MMT_package_id_byte” parameter shown in FIG. 17 described later) and an asset ID of each asset included in the package (corresponding to the “asset_id_byte” parameter shown in FIG. 17 described later). Is described, the association is performed.

The assets constituting the package may be only the assets in the TLV stream, but may also include the assets transmitted by the IP data flow of the communication line, as shown in FIG. 6E. This is because the location information of each asset included in the package (corresponding to “MMT_general_location_info ()” shown in FIG. 17, which will be described later) is included in the MPT, and the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment determines the reference destination of each asset. It can be realized by being able to grasp. Specifically, by changing the value of the “MMT_general_location_infolocation_type” parameter arranged in the location information,
(1) Data multiplexed in the same IP data flow as MPT (location_type = 0x00)
(2) Data multiplexed in IPv4 data flow (location_type = 0x01)
(3) Data multiplexed in IPv6 data flow (location_type = 0x02)
(4) Data multiplexed in MPEG2-TS for broadcasting (location_type = 0x03)
(5) Data multiplexed in the MPEG2-TS format within the IP data flow (location_type = 0x04)
(6) Data in specified URL (location_type = 0x05)
It is possible to configure the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 to refer to various data transmitted via various transmission paths.

  Among the above-mentioned reference destinations, (1) is, for example, an IP data flow received via a digital broadcast signal received by the tuner / demodulation unit 131 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of FIG. 7A described later. When the MPT is also included in the IP data flow on the communication line side and transmitted, the reference destination of (1) may be the IP data flow received by the LAN communication unit 121 described later via the communication line. Further, (2), (3), (5), and (6) are IP data flows received by the LAN communication unit 121 described later via a communication line. Further, the above (4) is, for example, like a broadcast receiving apparatus 800 of Embodiment 2 shown in FIG. 24 described later, a receiving function of receiving a digital broadcast signal using the MMT system and a digital broadcast using the MPEG2-TS system. In the case of a broadcast receiving apparatus having both a reception function of receiving a signal, a digital broadcast using the MPEG2-TS system based on MPT location information (“MMT_general_location_info ()”) included in a digital broadcast signal using the MMT system. This can be used when referring to the data multiplexed in the MPEG2-TS received by the receiving function of receiving a signal.

  Note that the data forming the "package" is designated in this way, but in the broadcasting system supported by the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, a series of data in the "package" unit is converted into the "service" unit of digital broadcasting. Treat as.

  Further, the MPT describes presentation time information (corresponding to the “mpu_presentation_time” parameter shown in FIG. 13B described later) of each MPU designated by the MPT, and a plurality of presentation time information designated by the MPT is used. It is possible to present (display, output, etc.) the MPU in conjunction with each other based on the clock based on NTP which is time information expressed in UTC. The presentation control of various data using the clock based on the NTP will be described later.

  In the data transmission method of this embodiment shown in FIG. 6E, there is a concept of “event”. The "event" is a concept indicating a so-called "program" handled by the MH-EIT included in the M2 section message and sent. Specifically, in the “package” indicated by the event package descriptor stored in the MH-EIT, from the disclosure time stored in the MH-EIT (corresponding to the “start_time” parameter shown in FIG. 21 described later), the duration time A series of data included in a period (corresponding to a “duration” parameter shown in FIG. 21 described later) is data included in the concept of the “event”. The MH-EIT is various processing in units of the “event” in the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment (for example, program guide generation processing, recording reservation or viewing reservation control, copyright management processing such as temporary storage). It can be used for

[System configuration of broadcast receiver clock synchronization / presentation synchronization]
FIG. 7C is an example of a system configuration of clock synchronization / presentation synchronization in the broadcast system supported by the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment. In the broadcast system of the present embodiment, UTC is transmitted from the broadcast transmission system to the receiver (the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 or the like of the present embodiment) in the 64-bit NTP time stamp format. In the NTP time stamp format, "less than a second" of UTC is represented by 32 bits, and "less than a second" is represented by 32 bits. However, in reality, it is difficult to reproduce 1 second with 32-bit accuracy. Therefore, as the system clock for synchronizing the video system and the system clock for operating the NTP type clock, for example, "2 to the 24th power" Hz (about 16.8 MHz) as shown in FIG. You may make it use the frequency of. In consideration of the fact that the system clock in the conventional broadcasting system is 27 MHz and that the hardware configuration of the receiver can be easily constructed, it is possible to use 2 to the 2nd power of 2 to 28th power. It is desirable to use the power frequency as the system clock.

  If the system clock is set to a power of 2 power of "2 to the 24th power" to "2 to the 28th power" as described above on the broadcast transmission system side or the receiver side, it is received from the broadcast transmission system side. In the NTP time stamp format transmitted to the device side, the lower 8 to 4 bits which are not referred to the PLL (Phase Locked Loop) system for reproducing the system clock or the NTP format clock are "0" or "1". It may be fixed to. That is, if the system clock is “2 to the nth power” Hz (n = 24 in the example of FIG. 7C), the lower “32-n” bits of the NTP time stamp format are fixed to “0” or “1”. You may do it. Alternatively, the receiver side may perform processing so as to ignore the lower "32-n" bits of the NTP time stamp format.

  On the broadcast transmission system side, when the time information in the NTP format is obtained from the outside, a PLL system is configured with a 32 + n-bit counter by a VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) of "2 to the nth power" Hz, and the time information given from the outside is used. Realizes a synchronized delivery system clock. Further, the entire signal processing system is operated in synchronization with the system clock of "2 to the nth power" Hz. Further, the output of the transmission system clock is periodically transmitted as time information in the NTP length format to the receiver side via the broadcast transmission path.

  At the receiver side, the time information in the NTP length format is received via the broadcast transmission path, and the receiver system clock is reproduced by the PLL system based on the VCO of "2 to the power of n" Hz, similarly to the broadcast transmission system side. As a result, the reception system clock becomes a clock synchronized with the broadcast transmission system side. By operating the signal processing system of the receiver in synchronization with the system clock of "2 to the power of n" Hz, clock synchronization between the broadcast transmission system side and the receiver side is realized, and stable signal reproduction is possible. Become. Further, the decoding time and the presentation time for each presentation unit of the video / audio signal are set on the broadcast transmission system side based on the time information in the NTP format. Here, an MPU time stamp descriptor shown in FIG. 13B described later is stored in the MPT stored in the PA message transmitted by the broadcast signal. The “mpu_sequence_number (MPU sequence number)” parameter in the MPU time stamp descriptor of FIG. 13B indicates the sequence number of the MPU describing the time stamp, and the “mpu_presentation_time (MPU presentation time)” parameter indicates the presentation time of the MPU by 64-bit NTP. It is shown in the time stamp format. Therefore, the receiver can control the presentation (display, output, etc.) timing of each MPU such as a video signal, an audio signal, a caption, and a character super, by referring to the MPU time stamp descriptor stored in the MPT. .

  When focusing on the control of the decoding timing and the presentation timing for each presentation unit of the video / audio signal, etc., the synchronization of the video / audio signal can be achieved even by a clock of “2 to the 16th power” Hz (about 65.5 KHz). Can be secured, and in this case, it is not necessary to refer to the lower 16 bits of the NTP time stamp format described in the MPU time stamp descriptor or the like. That is, when a "2 m-th power" Hz clock generated by dividing the system clock or the like is used to control the decoding timing and the presentation timing, the lower level of the NTP time stamp format described in the MPU time stamp descriptor or the like is used. It is not necessary to refer to the "32-m" bit. Therefore, the lower "32-m" bits of the NTP time stamp format described in the MPU time stamp descriptor or the like may be fixed to "0" or "1".

[Time management of broadcast receiving device]
The broadcast receiving apparatus of this embodiment has two types of time management functions. The first time management function is an NTP-based time management function, which has been described with reference to FIG. 7C. The second time management function is a time management function based on MH-TOT, which is a time managed based on the time information transmitted by MH-TOT described in FIG. 6B.

  FIG. 13A shows an example of the configuration of time information transmitted by NTP. 13B shows an example of the data structure of the MPU time stamp descriptor. The “reference_timestamp” parameter, the “transmit_timestamp” parameter, and the like in the NTP format are time data in the NTP length format of 64-bit length, and the “mpu_presentation_time” parameter in the MPU time stamp descriptor also has the 64-bit length NTP time stamp. This is the time data in the format. The time data in the NTP length format and the time data in the NTP time stamp format are data in which "more than a second" of UTC is represented by 32 bits and "less than a second" is represented by 32 bits. That is, as the time information in the NTP format, time information up to “less than a second” can be transmitted. Further, since the time information in the NTP format is in UTC notation, unlike the clock management in the conventional digital broadcasting, as shown in FIG. 3B, a communication line path (for example, communication that can be received by the LAN communication unit 121 in FIG. 7A is received. It is possible to match the NTP included in the signal received on the line.

  On the other hand, the information transmitted by MH-TOT is as follows. It is assumed that the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 can acquire the current date and Japan Standard Time by MH-TOT. FIG. 11A shows an example of the data structure of MH-TOT. The broadcast receiving apparatus 100 can acquire the current date and current time from the “JST_time” parameter of the MH-TOT. As shown in FIG. 11B, the “JST_time” parameter includes four low-order 16 bits of the encoded data of the current date based on the Modified Julian Date (MJD) and six Japanese Standard Time (JST). It is assumed to include 24-bit information represented by a binary-coded decimal (BCD). The current date can be calculated by performing a predetermined calculation on the 16-bit encoded data of the MJD. The six 4-bit binary coded decimal numbers represent "time" in two decimal digits using two 4-bit binary coded decimal numbers, and the next two 4-bit binary coded decimal numbers have decimal code 2 The digit represents “minute” and the last two 4-bit binary coded decimal numbers represent “second” in two decimal digits.

  Therefore, the difference between the time based on NTP and the time based on MH-TOT is that the former NTP is the information in UTC notation that can transmit the time information up to "less than a second" as described above. The information transmitted by TOT is that it is information up to "second unit" in JST notation.

  The broadcast receiving apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment has a time management function based on NTP, which is time information expressed in UTC, and performs a decoding and display synchronization process of video, audio, subtitles, superscripts, and other presentation data that are contents of broadcast signals. , It is possible to realize more accurate synchronization processing. Further, by referring to the information in UTC not the clock notation of the broadcasting station, information such as video, audio, subtitles, superimposition, or other data, which is the content of the broadcasting signal received by the broadcasting signal, is acquired through the communication line route. It is also possible to perform decoding and display synchronization processing with video, audio, subtitles, superimposition, or other data.

  Furthermore, the broadcast receiving apparatus according to the present embodiment has a time management function based on "JST_time" that includes 24-bit information represented by 6 4-bit binary-coded decimal numbers of MH-TOT, and presents the current time to the user. It may be used for the processing or each processing for handling the MH-event information table (MH-EIT) described in FIG. 6B. Generally, in the process of presenting the current time to the user in the broadcast receiving device, accuracy of less than a second is rarely required. Further, each time information described in the MH-event information table (MH-EIT) is represented by 6 4-bit binary-coded decimal numbers like the EIT of the conventional digital broadcasting transmitted by the MPEG2-TS system. The 24-bit information is stored in two decimal digits "hour", "minute", and "second". For this reason, the time management function based on MH-TOT in the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment is easy to match with the processing using MH-EIT. Specifically, the process using the MH-EIT is a program guide generation process (described later), recording reservation or viewing reservation control, copyright management processing such as temporary storage, and the like. This is because it is rare that any processing is required to have an accuracy of less than one second, and the accuracy of one second is sufficient.

  Also, the program guide generation processing, the recording reservation and viewing reservation control, and the copyright management processing such as temporary storage are functions that are also installed in the receiver of the conventional digital broadcasting system using the MPEG2-TS system. .. Then, also in the broadcasting system of the present embodiment, the conventional MPEG2-TS digital broadcasting system is used in the processing such as program guide generation processing, recording reservation and viewing reservation control, and copyright management processing such as temporary storage. If it is configured to be compatible with time management processing having consistency, a broadcast receiving apparatus having both a conventional MPEG2-TS system digital broadcast receiving function and an MMT system digital broadcast receiving function is constructed. At this time, it is not necessary to separately design processing algorithms in these processes (processes such as program guide generation process, recording reservation / viewing reservation control, and copyright management process such as temporary storage), which reduces costs. can do.

  Even if the receiver does not have the conventional MPEG2-TS digital broadcast receiving function but only the MMT digital broadcast receiving function, the program guide generation process, the recording reservation and the viewing reservation control, Since it is possible to use the algorithm of the function installed in the receiver of the digital broadcasting system using the conventional MPEG2-TS method, it is possible to divert the algorithm of the processing such as the copyright management processing such as temporary storage without completely creating it. It can be developed at a lower cost.

  Therefore, a configuration in which the time management function based on the "JST_time" parameter of MH-TOT is used for these processes (processes such as program guide generation processing, recording reservation and viewing reservation control, and copyright management processing such as temporary storage) With this configuration, even a broadcast receiving device for digital broadcasting of the MMT system can be provided at a lower cost by improving the compatibility with the broadcasting system of the conventional system.

  As described above, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment has a time management function that uses two types of time information with different accuracy. One of the time information is a time information of a notation consistent with a conventional digital broadcasting system, the other time information is time information having a higher resolution than the one time information, and the latter time information of the broadcast signal. By using it for synchronization processing of each content data, we realize more advanced information presentation processing than the conventional broadcasting system, and generate the time information of the former such as program guide generation processing, recording reservation and viewing reservation control, temporary storage, etc. A broadcast receiving device can be provided at low cost by using it for rights management processing and the like.

  Therefore, in the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, by providing the two types of time management functions described above, it is possible to achieve both higher-level information presentation processing and cost reduction.

[First Modification of Time Management]
Next, a first modified example of time management in the broadcasting system of this embodiment will be described below.

  In the first modification, from the time management server (not shown) or broadcasting station server 300 to the broadcast receiving apparatus 100, in order to improve the accuracy of the management time of the time management function based on NTP already described using FIG. 7C. In the broadcast receiving apparatus 100, the information about the estimated delay time in the time information transmission is transmitted and the information about the estimated delay time is used to correct the system clock of the time management function based on NTP. Is also good.

  At this time, the information about the assumed delay time may be transmitted not in the TLV multiplexed stream shown in FIG. 3A but in a TMCC (Transmission and Multiplexing Configuration Control) area outside the TLV multiplexed stream. good. By transmitting in the TMCC area, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 can extract the information on the estimated delay time without passing through the TLV multiplexed stream separation processing (demux processing). That is, it is possible to obtain information that is not easily affected by the delay due to the separation processing in the broadcast receiving apparatus 100, and therefore it is possible to perform highly accurate system clock correction processing. An example of the data structure of the time information transmitted by the TMCC signal will be described with reference to FIG. 13C. The time information may be stored in the TMCC extended information area and transmitted, for example. In the time information of the TMCC extended information area of FIG. 13C, the “delta” parameter is an estimated value of transmission delay of 32 bits from a time management server that distributes UTC or a server device that creates a TMCC signal to a general broadcast receiving device. Signed fixed point of. The upper 16 bits describe the integer part, and the lower 16 bits describe the part after the decimal point. The “transmit_timestamp” parameter is a transmission time stamp, and describes the time when the TMCC signal is transmitted from the server device in the NTP time stamp length format. The upper 32 bits represent the integer part, and the lower 32 bits represent the fractional part.

  In the first modification, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment includes information about the estimated delay time described in the time information stored and transmitted in the TMCC extended information area (for example, the above-mentioned “delta”). By using the parameter and / or the “transmit_timestamp” parameter), the system clock of the time management function based on NTP used for the synchronization processing of each content data of the broadcast signal can be corrected with higher accuracy.

[Second Modification of Time Management]
Next, a second modified example of time management in the broadcasting system of the present embodiment will be described below.

  As described above, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment has the time management function of acquiring the current date and Japan Standard Time by the information transmitted by MH-TOT and managing the time. The current date and the Japanese standard time acquired by the information transmitted by the MH-TOT are superimposed on the video information, application information, etc. in the video synthesizing unit 161 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100, so that the monitor unit 162 and the video output unit 163 receive the same. It can be output and provided to the user. As described above, the MH-TOT has the data structure shown in FIG. 11A, and the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 can acquire the current date and the current time from the “JST_time” parameter of the MH-TOT.

  However, in the above-mentioned "JST_time" parameter, since only the lower 16 bits of the MJD encoded data are used, overflow occurs due to "April 22, 2038", and the predetermined operation is performed. The date after "April 23, 2038" cannot be expressed only by itself. Therefore, in the second modified example of the present embodiment, the date after "April 23, 2038" is expressed by switching the calculation method depending on whether the value of MJD is greater than or equal to a predetermined value and less than the predetermined value. It shall be controlled so that it can.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of the first calculation method used when the value of MJD is equal to or larger than the predetermined value and the second calculation method used when the value of MJD is smaller than the predetermined value. For example, when the predetermined value is "32768 (0x8000)", when the MJD is "32768" or more, the current date is calculated using the first calculation method, and when the MJD is less than "32768". Calculates the current date using the second calculation method. The case where the MJD is less than "32768" is equivalent to the case where the most significant bit of the 16-bit data of the MJD is "0". As a result, in the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, dates after "April 23, 2038" can be expressed. However, the predetermined value can be set arbitrarily, and the predetermined value may be set to "16384 (0x4000)", "49152 (0xC000)", or the like. The operation method switching condition may be that the upper 2 bits of the MJD 16-bit data are “00” and the upper 2 bits of the MJD 16-bit data are not “11”. When the above-mentioned means is used with the predetermined value set to "32768", dates before "September 4, 1948" cannot be expressed, but this does not pose any particular problem in practical use as a television receiver. .

  Further, instead of switching between the first calculation method and the second calculation method according to the comparison result between MJD and the predetermined value, the “reserved” parameter of the MH-TOT data structure shown in FIG. 11A is set. The first calculation method and the second calculation method may be switched according to a flag that is partially or wholly replaced or a flag that is newly added. For example, the flag is set to "1" when the most significant bit of MJD 16-bit encoded data is "0" and the MJD indicates "April 23, 2038" or later. However, if it does not indicate "April 23, 2038" or later, "0" may be set. When the flag is "1", the second operation method shown in FIG. 12 is used, and when the flag is "0", the first operation method is used. Alternatively, a descriptor having the same meaning as the flag may be newly prepared and placed in the MH-TOT.

  Further, as described above, the broadcast system of the present embodiment transmits the absolute time in the NTP format, and the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment has a time management function based on the NTP. Further, in the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, by referring to the NTP time stamp described in the MPU time stamp descriptor set for each MPU, the decoding timing and the presentation for each presentation unit of the video / audio signal are presented. It controls the timing. As described above, the NTP time information has the configuration shown in FIG. 13A. The MPU time stamp descriptor has the configuration shown in FIG. 13B.

  Therefore, in the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, the “reference_timestamp” parameter, the “transmit_timestamp” parameter, the “mpu_presentation_time” parameter, or the like is referred to, and the first time data or the like is referred to according to the value. It may be possible to select which of the one calculation method and the second calculation method is used. That is, for example, if the most significant bit of the 64-bit length NTP time format time data is "0", the second operation method is used, and if it is not "0", the first operation method is used. Yes, and so on.

  By any of the above methods, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment can express dates after "April 23, 2038".

[Broadcast receiver tuning process (initial scan)]
The AMT of the broadcasting system of the present embodiment provides a list of multicast groups of IP packets for receiving IP packets transmitted by the TLV multiplexing method as distinctively as possible from IP packets transmitted by a communication line. I shall. It is possible to list multiple IP multicast groups in one service identification. In addition, an address mask can be used to efficiently describe consecutive IP addresses.

  In the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the list of services acquired from the TLV-NIT is stored in the nonvolatile memory such as the ROM 103 or the storage unit 110 at the time of channel scanning at the time of initial setting or at the time of rescanning for changing the setting. Further, it is possible to store a list of IP multicast groups corresponding to each of the services as IP related information in association with each of the services in the nonvolatile memory. To do. By storing the list of services and IP-related information in a non-volatile memory so that they can be referred to at all times, it is not necessary to re-acquire TLV-NIT or AMT at the time of channel switching, and the acquisition of broadcast content can be performed efficiently. It becomes possible to do.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of an operation sequence at the time of channel scanning (rescanning) in the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of this embodiment.

  When the channel scan is started, the reception function execution unit 1102 sets an initial frequency value to the tuner / demodulation unit 131 and instructs the tuner / demodulation unit 131 to perform tuning to the frequency value (S101). When the tuner / demodulation unit 131 succeeds in locking to the set frequency value (S102: Yes), then the reception function execution unit 1102 acquires TLV-NIT from the reception signal (S103).

  When the TLV-NIT acquired in the process of S103 is valid data (S104: Yes), the reception function execution unit 1102 acquires information such as the TLV stream ID and the original network ID from the acquired TLV-NIT. (S105). FIG. 15A shows an example of the data structure of TLV-NIT. The information of the TLV stream ID can be obtained from the “tlv_stream_id” parameter, and the information of the original network ID can be obtained from the “original_network_id” parameter. Furthermore, distribution system information relating to the physical conditions of the broadcast transmission path corresponding to each TLV stream ID / original network ID is acquired from the distribution system descriptor (S106), and a list of service IDs is acquired from the service list descriptor ( S107). FIG. 15B shows an example of the data structure of the satellite distribution system descriptor. FIG. 15C shows an example of the data structure of the service list descriptor. When the TLV-NIT has a plurality of different data such as the TLV stream ID, the original network ID, the distribution system information, the list of service IDs, etc., the processes of S105 to S107 are repeated. Next, the reception function execution unit 1102 creates a service list based on the data such as the TLV stream ID, the original network ID, the distribution system information, the list of service IDs, etc. acquired in the processing of S105 to S107, and creates the service list. The service list is stored in the ROM 103, the storage unit 110, or the like (updated when rescanning) (S108).

  Next, the reception function execution unit 1102 acquires AMT from the received signal (S109), and further acquires a list of IP multicast groups related to each service ID stored in the service list (S110). FIG. 15D shows an example of the data structure of AMT. If the AMT has a list of IP multicast groups related to a plurality of service IDs, the process of S110 is repeated. When there are a plurality of AMTs having a list of IP multicast groups related to different service IDs, the processing of S109 to S110 is repeated. Next, the reception function execution unit 1102 stores the list of IP multicast groups acquired in the process of S110 in the ROM 103, the storage unit 110, or the like as IP related information in association with the service ID (updated when rescanning). (S111).

  In the process of S102, when the tuner / demodulation unit 131 does not succeed in locking to the set frequency value (S102: No), and the TLV-NIT acquired in the process of S103 is not valid data. In the case (S104: No), the processes of S105 to S111 are not performed.

  When the process of S111 is completed, the reception function execution unit 1102 ends the process if the frequency value set in the tuner / demodulation unit 131 is the final frequency value of the channel scan range (S112: Yes). On the other hand, if the set frequency value is not the final frequency value in the channel scan range (S112: No), the frequency value set in the tuner / demodulation unit 131 is increased (S113), and the processes of S102 to S111 are performed. repeat. If one TLV-NIT can acquire the service IDs of all the services that make up the broadcasting network and further can acquire the AMT having the list of the IP multicast groups related to the service IDs, the steps S112 to S113 are performed. No processing is required.

  Through the series of processes described above, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 according to the present exemplary embodiment displays a list (service list) of services that configure the broadcast network at the time of channel scanning at the time of initial setting or at the time of rescanning for changing settings. At the same time as the creation / updating, it is possible to create / update the list of the IP multicast groups (IP related information) corresponding to each service, and further to store the list in the nonvolatile memory such as the ROM 103 and the storage unit 110.

  The rescan for changing the setting is automatically performed when it is detected that there is a change in the information in the table by referring to the "version_number" parameter of TLV-NIT or AMT. May be. When a change in the “version_number” parameter of one of TLV-NIT and AMT is detected, only the information regarding the table in which the change in the parameter is detected may be automatically updated. However, when the above-described automatic update is performed, it is desirable to notify the user that the rescan is automatically performed. Further, the user may be notified that the information in the table has changed, and the user may be allowed to select whether or not to perform the rescan.

[Broadcast receiver channel selection processing (channel switching)]
FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of an operation sequence at the time of channel selection (channel switching) in the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment.

  When the user operates a remote controller or the like (not shown) to instruct to switch channels, the reception function execution unit 1102 interprets the command transmitted from the remote controller and specifies the service ID of the target service (S201). Next, the reception function execution unit 1102 starts acquisition of AMT from the reception signal of the tuner / demodulation unit 131. When the AMT is successfully acquired within the predetermined time (S202: Yes), the information about the list of IP multicast groups corresponding to the service ID is acquired from the acquired AMT (S204). On the other hand, when the AMT is not successfully acquired within the predetermined time (S202: No), the IP corresponding to the service ID is referred to by referring to the IP related information stored in the ROM 103 or the storage unit 110 (S203). Information on the list of multicast groups is acquired (S204). The determination process of S202 may not be performed, and the IP related information stored in the ROM 103, the storage unit 110, or the like may be constantly referred to.

  Next, the reception function execution unit 1102 starts acquisition of TLV-NIT from the reception signal of the tuner / demodulation unit 131. When the TLV-NIT is successfully acquired within the predetermined time (S205: Yes), the distribution system information for acquiring the IP data flow corresponding to the service ID is acquired from the acquired TLV-NIT (S207). On the other hand, when the TLV-NIT is not successfully acquired within the predetermined time (S205: No), the service ID stored in the ROM 103 or the storage unit 110 is referred to (S206) to correspond to the service ID. Distribution system information for acquiring the IP data flow is acquired (S207). Note that the service list stored in the ROM 103, the storage unit 110, or the like may always be referred to without performing the determination process in S205. When the distribution system information is acquired in the process of S207, next, the reception function execution unit 1102 controls the tuner / demodulation unit 131 with the frequency value instructed by the acquired distribution system information to acquire the service ID. (S208), the MMT data string is extracted from the received IP data flow, and is output to the separation unit 132.

  In the separation unit 132, the transport processing unit 1102a acquires the MMTP packet with the packet ID “0” from the input MMT data string (S209), and further acquires the MPT included in the acquired MMTP packet. (S210). Next, the transport processing unit 1102a refers to the “MMT_package_id_byte” parameter included in the acquired MPT, and confirms whether the lower 16 bits of the “MMT_package_id_byte” parameter have the same value as the service ID. In the example of the data structure of the MPT shown in FIG. 17, when the lower 16 bits of the “MMT_package_id_byte” parameter has the same value as the service ID (S211: Yes), the MMTP packet with the packet ID of “0” is the It is determined that the packet is an MMTP packet having program data corresponding to the service ID, and MFU is acquired based on the information included in the acquired MPT (S216).

  On the other hand, when the lower 16 bits of the “MMT_package_id_byte” parameter are not the same value as the service ID (S211: No), the MMTP packet with the packet ID “0” has the MMTP having the program data corresponding to the service ID. Judge that it is not a packet. In this case, the transport processing unit 1102a newly acquires the PLT (S212), and confirms the acquired PLT to confirm the acquired PLT, and thus the packet ID of the MMTP packet that transmits the MPT having the “MMT_package_id_byte” parameter corresponding to the service ID. Confirm (x) (S213). Further, the transport processing unit 1102a acquires the MMTP packet having the packet ID “x” from the input MMT data string (S214), and acquires the MPT included in the acquired MMTP packet (S215). Further, the MFU is acquired based on the information included in the acquired MPT (S216).

  The processes of S209 to S211 may not be performed, and the processes of S212 to S215 may be always performed. In this case, the processing time can be shortened when the program data corresponding to the service ID is stored in the MMTP packet other than the packet ID “0”.

  When the MFU is acquired in the process of S216, the transport processing unit 1102a extracts the coded video data, the coded audio data, and the like from the acquired MFU and outputs them to the video decoder 141, the audio decoder 143, and the like. Hereinafter, the video / audio decoding processing based on the control of the AV decoding processing section 1102b and the presentation processing based on the control of the presentation processing section 1102h are performed. However, since the respective processings are known, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  Through the series of processes described above, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment can execute the channel selection (channel switching) operation. Particularly, as described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 16, the service list and the IP related information are created at the time of the channel scan at the time of the initial setting or the rescan for changing the setting, and the ROM 103 and the storage unit are created. 110 to be stored in a non-volatile memory so that it can be referred to at all times, and at the time of channel selection (channel switching), by referring to the service list or IP-related information stored in the non-volatile memory such as the ROM 103 or the storage unit 110, It enables to improve the operation efficiency when selecting a channel (channel switching). That is, it is possible to shorten the time from the start of channel selection (channel switching) to the end of channel selection (channel switching), as compared to the case of reacquiring AMT or TLV-NIT at channel selection (channel switching). Become.

[Screen layout control of broadcast receiving device]
It is assumed that the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment is capable of screen layout control based on the LCT description. FIG. 18 shows an example of the data structure of LCT.

  In the figure, in particular, the “left_top_pos_x” parameter and the “right_down_pos_x” parameter are the horizontal position of the upper left and lower right of the area when the left side of the full screen display is “0” / the right side is “100”. Each of them is shown as a ratio to the total number of pixels in the horizontal direction. The “left_top_pos_y” and “right_down_pos_y” parameters are the vertical position of the upper left and lower right of the area when the upper side of the full screen display is “0” / the lower side is “100”. It is shown as a ratio to the total number of pixels. Further, the “layer_order” parameter indicates the relative position of the area in the depth direction.

  19A to 19D show examples of layout allocation to layout numbers based on the setting of each parameter, together with the setting values of each parameter.

  FIG. 19A is a default layout setting of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, and is an example in which only one area is set on the entire screen. FIG. 19B is an example in which the entire screen is divided into three areas, and each area is defined as “area 0”, “area 1”, and “area 2”. For example, when the number of pixels of the entire screen is horizontal 7680 pixels / vertical 4320 pixels, in the “region 0”, the “left_top_pos_x” parameter is “0”, the “left_top_pos_y” parameter is “0”, and the “right_down_pos_x” parameter is “80”. , And “right_down_pos_y” parameters are “80”, they are set in the range of (0,0) − (6143,3455). Similarly, “area 1” is set in the range of (6144,0) − (7679,4319), and “area 2” is set in the range of (0,3456) − (6143,4319).

  FIG. 19C is an example in which three areas are set as in FIG. 19B, but “area 0” is set in the range of (0, 0) − (7679, 4319), and “area 1” and “area 1” are set. "2" is in the same range as described above and is arranged in front of "area 0" according to the setting of the "layer_order" parameter. In FIG. 19D, “area 0” is set in device 0 (default device: broadcast receiving apparatus 100 in this embodiment), and “area 1” is set in device 1 (mobile information terminal 700 in this embodiment). This is an example of the case of being performed.

  As described above, in the broadcasting system of the present embodiment, by using the LCT, it is possible to control the screen layout for displaying the multimedia service on the receiver as intended by the service provider.

  It should be noted that the fractional part below the decimal point generated when the screen is divided according to the setting value of the parameter such as “left_top_pos_x” may be rounded up or rounded down. Rounding (or rounding to zero in binary number) may be used. For example, the number of pixels of the entire screen is 7680 pixels / vertical 4320 pixels, the “left_top_pos_x” parameter of “region 0” is “0”, the “left_top_pos_y” parameter is “0”, the “right_down_pos_x” parameter is “51”, and the “right_down_down_pos”. If the parameter is "51", "region 0" may be set in the range of (0,0)-(3916,2203) by rounding up, or (0,0)-(3915, “Area 0” may be set in the range 2202). Further, in consideration of macroblocks at the time of video compression processing, rounding up / down processing may be performed in units of 8 pixels or 16 pixels. By the above processing, it becomes possible to efficiently perform area setting based on LCT and resolution conversion processing of multimedia contents in the area.

[Exceptional processing of screen layout control of broadcast receiving device]
In the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, even when the area control of the screen layout is performed by the LCT described above, when the user instructs the display of the EPG screen, the exception processing is performed. It is assumed that it is possible to perform screen layout control ignoring the description content of the LCT. FIG. 20A shows an example of the operation of exceptional processing of screen layout control based on LCT.

  The screen layout control similar to that of FIG. 19B is performed by the description of the LCT, the broadcast program video is displayed in the “area 0”, and the broadcast of the program cooperation data or the like that cooperates with the broadcast program in the “area 1” and the “area 2”. When the user gives an instruction to display the EPG screen with a remote controller (not shown) while the content is displayed, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment describes the LCT as shown in FIG. 20A (A). Regardless of the contents, the screen layout setting is returned to the default setting (that is, the same screen layout control as in FIG. 19A is performed), and the EPG screen is controlled to be displayed on the entire screen. Further, when the user gives an instruction to end the display of the EPG screen, the screen layout control according to the description content of the LCT is re-executed.

  By performing the above-described control, the EPG screen can be displayed in a larger size than the case where the EPG screen is displayed while maintaining the area control of the screen layout as shown in FIG. It is possible to improve the visibility.

  The exception processing of the screen layout control is not applied only when the EPG screen is displayed. As shown in FIG. 20B, various setting screens of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 (recording setting screen in the illustrated example) ) May be applied when a child screen is displayed or when two screens are displayed.

  In the case of the recording setting screen shown in FIG. 9A, the display area of the broadcast content is changed from the entire screen to only the child screen portion at the lower right of the screen. Similarly, in the case of the dual screen display shown in FIG. 7B, the display area of the broadcast content is changed from the entire screen to only the split screen portion on the left side of the middle stage of the screen. In either case, the display area for displaying the broadcast content is narrower than that in the case where the entire screen is used, so that the area control of the screen layout is maintained in the display area (that is, area division is performed). It is not visually preferable to go and keep a plurality of broadcast contents displayed simultaneously. Therefore, in the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, in the above situation, only the broadcast content of "area 0" is selected and displayed in the display area. It should be noted that the broadcast contents of "area 1" and "area 2" may be selected and displayed according to the immediately preceding area selection situation.

  By performing the above-described control, it is possible to improve the visibility of the broadcast content as compared with the case where various broadcast content are displayed while maintaining the area control of the screen layout. The same applies to the case where a child screen is displayed on the recorded program list screen or a browser for Internet contents is displayed.

[EPG display of broadcast receiving device]
In the broadcasting system of the present embodiment, it is assumed that time series information regarding events (so-called programs) included in each service forming the broadcasting network is transmitted by MH-EIT. FIG. 21 shows an example of the data structure of the MH-EIT of this embodiment. The MH-EIT is identified into two classes by the table ID (corresponding to the “talbe_id” parameter in the figure), and indicates the current / next event information of the own TLV stream and the schedule information of each event of the own TLV stream. Shall be possible. The broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment refers to the MH-EIT or the like and performs identification by the service ID (corresponding to the “service_id” parameter in the figure) to thereby obtain information such as the start time and broadcast time of each event. It is assumed that the EPG screen can be created by acquiring the above, and the created EPG can be displayed on the monitor unit 162 by being superimposed on the video information and the like by the video composition unit 161.

  FIG. 22A is a diagram showing an example of an EPG screen in the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment. The EPG screen 162a has a matrix shape in which the vertical axis represents time and the horizontal axis represents service ID (channel), and detailed information of a broadcast program broadcast on each channel in each time zone is displayed. The detailed information 162a1 of each broadcast program is mainly composed of a title area 162a2 and a detailed explanation area 162a3.

  In the title area 162a2, a program title of the broadcast program and a symbol indicating the attribute of the broadcast program are displayed. The symbol or the like indicating the attribute of the broadcast program is, for example, a symbol / character indicating that it is a new program or a symbol / character indicating that it is a rebroadcast program. Alternatively, it may be a mark or the like that symbolizes "data", which means that it corresponds to the data broadcasting by the broadcasting service. Further, it may be a mark 162a4 or the like that symbolizes "NetWork", which means that contents, applications, etc. related to the broadcast program can be acquired from the network. Further, by differentiating the background color of the detailed information 162a1 from other colors, or by surrounding the display area of the detailed information 162a1 with a thick frame, the symbols representing the attributes of the broadcast program may be replaced.

  It should be noted that the control information (messages, tables, descriptors, etc.) in the broadcast system of the present embodiment indicates that the content, application, etc. related to the broadcast program can be acquired from the network. Even if the LAN cable is not connected to the LAN communication unit 121 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 or the server apparatuses on the network cannot be accessed, the mark 162a4 that symbolizes "NetWork" is displayed. You may control not to display etc.

  Further, in the case where the broadcast program is a distribution program distributed via the Internet 200 and cannot be acquired from only the broadcast wave, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 is further connected to each server apparatus on the network as described above. When it is not possible to access to, the detailed information 162b1 displayed on the EPG screen 162b may be grayed out as shown in FIG. 22B. That is, control is performed so that detailed information of the distribution program that cannot be viewed is not displayed. Further, by differentiating the background color of the detailed information 162b1 from others, the grayout processing may be replaced. When the detailed information 162b1 is selected by the operation of the remote controller (not shown), it is indicated that the broadcast receiving device 100 cannot access each server device on the network, or the distribution program associated with the detailed information 162b1 is viewed. It may be possible to notify the user of the fact that it cannot be done by a popup or the like.

  By the above-described respective controls, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 can provide the program information of each broadcast program in a format that is more comfortable for the user according to the network connection status.

  FIG. 22C is a diagram showing another example of the EPG screen in the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment. In the figure, "M1 TV", "M2 broadcast", "M3 channel", "M4TV", "TV M5", etc. are broadcasting station names of the respective channels, and in particular, "M2 broadcasting" station depends on the broadcasting wave. It is assumed that the broadcast program to be distributed and the distribution program to be distributed via the Internet 200 (information 162c1 of the frame indicated by “net broadcasting” in the figure) are provided at the same time.

  As shown in the figure, when there is a channel having only distribution programs to be distributed via the Internet 200, normally, all channels (including information 162c1) as shown in the EPG screen 162c of FIG. Control to display the information. On the other hand, when the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 is in a state where it cannot access each server apparatus on the network, as shown in the EPG screen 162d of FIG. The control may be performed so that the information of the “M2 broadcast (net broadcast)” channel (information 162c1 in FIG. 13A) is not displayed.

  By the above-described respective controls, the user of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 can eliminate the need to confirm the information of the channel that he / she cannot watch.

[Emergency warning broadcast display on broadcast receiver]
The broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment performs the reception processing of the emergency alert broadcast when the emergency alert broadcast activation control signal bit of the TMCC signal included in the transmission data including the TLV stream changes from "0" to "1". It shall be possible to do.

  The emergency alert broadcast may be provided as an application for full-screen display, or as text information in a text superimposition. When the emergency alert broadcast is provided in the text superimposition as text information, it is preferable to display the text information in the text superimposition regardless of the state of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 immediately before the reception of the emergency alert broadcast. That is, as shown in FIG. 23, when the user watches an ordinary broadcast program and receives the emergency alert broadcast while the program screen 162e of the broadcast program is displayed on the monitor unit 162, the emergency alert broadcast is performed. The character information 162e1 is displayed so as to be superimposed on the program screen 162e. Similarly, when the user gives an instruction to display the EPG screen and receives the emergency alert broadcast while the EPG screen 162f is displayed on the monitor 162, the character information 162f1 by the emergency alert broadcast is superimposed on the EPG screen 162f. Control to display.

  By the control described above, in the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, even when the user selects and displays the EPG screen, various setting screens, recorded program list screen, Internet browser, etc., the emergency alert broadcast is performed. When it receives, it is possible to avoid missing important character information based on the emergency alert broadcast. Note that this control may be performed on character information of a normal character superimposing that does not depend on the emergency alert broadcast.

[Various exception handling]
The broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment may perform the following exceptional processing, for example, when the data outside the TLV stream in the same package cannot be acquired.

  As described with reference to FIG. 6E, in the broadcast system to which the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment corresponds, based on the location information (corresponding to “MMT_general_location_info ()” in FIG. 17) stored in the MPT, the TLV stream The data to be acquired and the data to be acquired by a route other than the TLV stream can be included in the same package. However, the data transmission path (for example, IPv4 data flow, IPv6 data flow, broadcast MPEG2-TS, etc.) other than the TLV stream indicated by the location information is a reception function different from the reception function of the TLV / MMT stream. Therefore, even when the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 is operating, the receiving function of these transmission paths is not operating, or the receiving apparatus itself is operating but the relay device or the like is not operating. There may be situations in which data cannot be acquired from these transmission paths, such as a situation in which the transmission paths are not wired or wirelessly connected, or the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 is installed in an environment in which these transmission paths cannot be connected in the first place. .

  Under such a situation, an event indicating that the location information stored in the MPT indicates that the data acquired in the TLV stream and the data acquired by the route other than the TLV stream are associated with each other so as to be included in the same package. When receiving, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment may perform the following operation, for example.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 19B and 19C, the LCT sets a plurality of areas in the screen, displays an image included in the TLV stream in “area 0”, and displays “area 1” and “area 2”. ] Is associated with data acquired through a transmission route other than the TLV stream so that the data of the transmission route other than the TLV stream to be displayed in “region 1” or “region 2” is displayed. If it cannot be acquired, layout display of a plurality of regions designated by the LCT may be prohibited. Specifically, even if the LCT is received, the video of the content received in the TLV stream is displayed in the “area 0” of the default layout display shown in FIG. It suffices not to shift to the layout display of multiple areas. Further, in this state, even if an instruction to change the layout from the default layout to the layout indicated by LCT is input to the operation input unit 170 of FIG. 7A, the default layout display shown in FIG. For example, the display may not be switched to the layout display of a plurality of areas as shown in FIGS. 19B and 19C by switching to.

  As shown in FIGS. 19B and 19C, the LCT sets a plurality of areas on the screen, displays the video included in the TLV stream in “area 0”, and displays in the “area 1” and “area 2”. When the data acquired through the transmission path other than the TLV stream is associated so as to be displayed, the data of the transmission path other than the TLV stream to be displayed in the "area 1" or the "area 2" cannot be acquired. As another operation example in such a case, the display frames of the plurality of regions shown in LCT in FIG. 19B and FIG. 19C are displayed once, and the background color and a predetermined still image are displayed for “region 1” and “region 2”. If the data of the transmission path other than the TLV stream indicated by the location information of the MPT cannot be acquired even after the lapse of a predetermined time, the display is switched back to the default layout display state shown in FIG. 19A. And it may be. In this case, if the program video included in the TLV stream is continuously displayed in the “area 0” even when the layout of FIGS. 19A, 19B, and 19C is changed, the program video of the user itself Is preferable because it continues.

  Further, since the data of the transmission path other than the TLV stream to be displayed in the "area 1" or the "area 2" cannot be acquired, the content received in the TLV stream in the "area 0" of the default layout display shown in FIG. 19A. The operation of various communication functions and various reception functions of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment is started while the image of the above is displayed, the communication environment of various communication functions, the communication status and various reception functions. Due to changes in the reception environment and the reception situation, there may be a situation where the data of the transmission path other than the TLV stream to be displayed in the "area 1" or "area 2" can be acquired. In this case, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment immediately switches from the default layout display shown in FIG. 19A to the layout of a plurality of areas as shown in FIG. 19B and FIG. The video of the content received in the stream may be displayed, and the data acquired from the transmission path other than the TLV stream may be displayed in the “area 1” and the “area 2”. Further, the layout change may be executed immediately after the instruction to change the layout from the default layout to the layout indicated by the LCT is input from the operation input unit 170 without performing the layout change immediately.

[Copyright protection function]
In the digital broadcasting system supported by the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, by transmitting the MPT including the copy control information, for example, "unlimited copying is possible"("unlimited copying is possible and storage is possible" according to the copy control information. Also, it may be divided into two types: "encryption process required at output" and "unlimited copy is allowed and encryption process is not required at storage and output"), "copy only for one generation", "predetermined multiple times allowed" ( For example, it may be configured to indicate the copy control state of the content referred to by the MPT, such as so-called “dubbing 10”) or “copy prohibited”, if 9 times copy allowed + 1 move allowed). In this case, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment stores the content in the storage (storage) unit 110, records it in a removable recording medium, outputs it to an external device, or outputs it to an external device according to the copy control information. It may be configured to control copying, move processing to an external device, and the like. Note that the target of the accumulation processing may include not only the storage (accumulation) unit 110 inside the broadcast receiving apparatus 100, but also the recording that has been subjected to the protection processing such as the encryption processing so that the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 can reproduce it. . Specifically, the target of the accumulation process includes, among the external recording devices and the like, those that can be recorded and reproduced only by the broadcast receiving device 100.

  A specific example of the processing based on the copy control information will be described below.

  First, when the copy control information included in the MPT indicates “unlimited copying is possible”, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment stores in the storage unit 110, records on a removable recording medium, and external devices. Output to, external device copy, and external device move processing without restriction. However, if "Unlimited copying is possible and encryption processing is required for storage and output" and "Unlimited copying is required and encryption processing is not required for storage and output" are separated, "Unlimited copying is possible, storage and output When "encryption process is required", storage in storage (storage) unit 110, recording on removable recording medium, output to external device, copy to external device, move process to external device is limited to the number of times. This can be done without any encryption, but both require encryption processing.

  Further, when the copy control information included in the MPT indicates “copying is possible only for one generation”, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of this embodiment enables encrypted storage in the storage unit 110. When outputting the stored content to an external device for viewing, it is encrypted and output together with the copy control information of “copy prohibited”. However, a so-called move process to the external device (a process of copying the content to the external device and rendering the content in the storage (accumulation) unit 110 of the broadcast receiving device 100 unerasable by erasing or the like) is possible.

  Further, when the copy control information included in the MPT indicates “permissible copying a predetermined number of times”, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of this embodiment can encrypt and store in the storage unit 110. When outputting the stored content to an external device for viewing, it is encrypted and output together with the copy control information of “copy prohibited”. However, a predetermined number of copies and move processes to the external device may be possible. In the case of the so-called “dubbing 10”, the copying may be performed 9 times and the moving processing may be performed once to the external device.

  Further, when the copy control information included in the MPT indicates “copy prohibited”, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment prohibits copying to the storage (accumulation) unit 110. However, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 stores (accumulates) the storage unit 110 only for a predetermined time or a predetermined time specified by control information (for example, by the MH-Expire descriptor shown in FIG. 6D) included in the broadcast signal. In the case of being configured to have the “temporary storage” mode that enables the storage (storage) to the storage (storage) unit 110, even if the copy control information included in the MPT indicates “copy prohibited”. The content can be held temporarily. When the content whose copy control information included in the MPT is “copy prohibited” is output for viewing on an external device, it is encrypted and output together with the copy control information “copy prohibited”.

  The above-mentioned output for viewing to the external device may be performed via the video output unit 163 and the audio output unit 166 of FIG. 7A, the digital I / F unit 125, the LAN communication unit 121, or the like. The above-described copy or move processing to the external device may be performed via the digital I / F unit 125, the LAN communication unit 121, or the like in FIG. 7A.

  According to the processing described above, appropriate content protection can be realized according to the copy control information associated with the content.

  In addition, copy processing of the content whose copy control information indicates copy restrictions such as “copy only for one generation”, “copy for a predetermined number of times”, and “copy prohibited” to the external device via the LAN communication unit 121. With respect to the above, only when the IP address of the external device which is the destination of the packet transmitted from the broadcast receiving device 100 is in the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcast receiving device 100, the IP address of the external device is If the IP address of 100 is outside the same subnet, it may be prohibited. Content whose copy control information is "unlimited copying is possible and encryption processing is required for storage and output" may be handled in the same manner.

  Similarly, once the copy control information indicates that the content has a copy restriction such as "copy only for one generation", "copy for a predetermined number of times", "copy unlimited and encryption required for storage and output". Also in the process of moving to the external device via the LAN communication unit 121 after storing in the storage unit 110, the IP address of the external device which is the destination of the packet transmitted from the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 is the broadcast receiving apparatus 100. If the IP address of the external device is outside the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100, it may be prohibited.

  As a general rule, for viewing video output and audio output of the content stored in the storage (storage) unit 110 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100, the IP address of the external device, which is the destination of the packet transmitted from the broadcast receiving apparatus 100, is broadcast received. It is possible only when the IP address of the apparatus 100 is in the same subnet, and prohibited when the IP address of the external device is outside the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100. However, the external device is connected within the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 within a predetermined period, and is registered as a device that can be viewed even outside the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100. In the case of (paired) devices, even if the IP address of the external device is outside the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcast receiving device 100, the storage (accumulation) of the broadcast receiving device 100 in the external device is performed. The contents stored in the unit 110 may be output for viewing video and audio. In this case, the viewing video output and audio output are performed by encrypting the content.

  According to the processing described above, different processing is performed depending on whether the external device is in the same subnet or outside the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100, thereby achieving both user convenience and content protection. Can be realized.

  Next, as described with reference to FIG. 6E, in the digital broadcasting system supported by the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, the location information (“MMT_general_location_info ()” in FIG. 17) in the MPT indicates that the TLV stream of the broadcast route is set. Data acquired through a different route (IPv4, IPv6, MPEG2-TS, URL, etc.) than the acquired data may be included in the same package and the same event as the data acquired in the TLV stream, but at this time it is copied to the MPT. The content protection when the control information is included will be described.

  First, when copy control information is included in MPT, the data included in the same package and the same event in the location information is different from the data acquired in the TLV stream of the broadcast route (IPv4, IPv6, MPEG2-TS, URL, etc.). Even if it is the data acquired in (4), it may be controlled according to the copy control information included in the TLV stream. As described above, the copy control status of the content specified by these copy control information is “unlimited copying” (“unlimited copying and encryption processing required for storage and output” and “unlimited copying Also, it may be divided into two types, "encryption processing is not required when storing and outputting", "only one generation can be copied", "predetermined multiple times copyable" (for example, 9 times copy + 1 move is so-called "so-called" Dubbing 10 ")," copy prohibited ", etc. can be specified.

  Here, when the position of the data indicated by the location information includes the data of MPEG2-TS transmitted by another digital broadcast signal, the data of the MPEG2-TS is associated with the copy control information in the other digital broadcast signal. Has been broadcast. Then, how to perform the copy control of the MPEG2-TS data according to which information (whether to follow the copy control information included in the TLV / MMT stream or according to the copy control information included in the MPEG2-TS) becomes a problem. .

  In the digital broadcast system of the present embodiment, as a solution to this problem, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 may perform any one of the following solutions.

<Operation example 1>
In the first operation example, when the MPT includes copy control information, and the data included in the same package and the same event in the location information includes the data of MPEG2-TS transmitted by another digital broadcast signal, the MPEG2- The copy control state indicated by the copy control information included in the TLV stream is preferentially controlled over the copy control state indicated by the copy control information included in the TS.

  For example, the copy control status indicated by the copy control information included in the TLV stream is “1st generation copy allowed”, and the copy control status indicated by the copy control information included in MPEG2-TS is “predetermined multiple times allowed”. If so, even if the data is obtained through a route (digital broadcasting of the MPEG2-TS transmission format) different from the data obtained in the TLV stream, the copy control may be performed as the content of "1st generation copy permitted". For example, the copy control state indicated by the copy control information included in the TLV stream is “unlimited copy permitted”, and the copy control state indicated by the copy control information included in MPEG2-TS is “predetermined multiple times permitted”. If so, even if the data is obtained through a route (digital broadcasting of the MPEG2-TS transmission format) different from the data obtained in the TLV stream, copy control may be performed as "unlimited copy" content.

  In the case of this operation, the data acquired through a route other than the TLV stream can be put in a copy state that the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of this embodiment wants to manage in the corresponding broadcast system.

<Operation example 2>
In the second operation example, when the MPT includes copy control information and the data included in the same package and the same event in the location information includes the data of MPEG2-TS transmitted by another digital broadcasting signal, the TLV stream is included. Is compared with the copy control state indicated by the copy control information contained in MPEG2-TS, and the copy control state indicated by the copy control information contained in MPEG2-TS is compared. Is stricter than the copy control state indicated by the copy control information included in the TLV stream, the storage process in the storage (storage) unit 110, the recording process in the removable recording medium, or the output process from the digital interface is performed. In this case, the MPEG2-TS data is to be processed It operates to exclude the content.

  In the case of this operation, regarding the data acquired through the route other than the TLV stream, the copy on the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment is performed while respecting the original copy control information set by the broadcast system transmitting the data. Duplication of control states can be eliminated.

  Further, as a result of the comparison, when the copy control state indicated by the copy control information included in the MPEG2-TS is the same as the copy control state indicated by the copy control information included in the TLV stream or a looser copy control state. For the MPEG2-TS data included in the same package and the same event in the location information, the copy control may be performed as the content in the copy control state indicated by the copy control information included in the TLV stream.

  In the case of this operation, regarding the data acquired through the route other than the TLV stream, the copy on the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment is performed while respecting the original copy control information set by the broadcast system transmitting the data. Duplication of control states can be eliminated.

  In the above description, the copyright protection function of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment has been described as being performed based on the copy control information included in the MPT. However, the table in which the copy control information is arranged is not limited to MPT. In addition to the MPT, the MH-service description table (MH-SDT) and the MH-event information table (MH-EIT) described in FIG. You may perform copyright protection processing.

According to the present embodiment described above, it is possible to provide a broadcast receiver compatible with MMT digital broadcasting.

Subtitle color gamut conversion unit 147, data decoder 151, cache unit 152, application control unit 153, browser unit 154, application color gamut conversion unit 155, sound source unit 156, and the like are provided. The MMT decoding processing unit 841 can perform the various processes described in the first embodiment. Since the details of the various processes are as described in the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

  The MPEG2-TS decoding processing unit 842 inputs the MPEG2-TS data string output from the second tuner / demodulation unit 832, and based on a control signal included in the MPEG2-TS data string, video data that is a real-time presentation element. Separation processing and decoding processing of a string, a voice data string, a character super data string, a caption data string, and the like are performed. The MPEG2-TS decoding processing unit 842 has a function equivalent to that of an IRD (Integrated Receiver Decoder) unit of a conventional television receiver that receives a broadcast wave of a broadcasting service that employs MPEG2-TS as a media transport system. Detailed description is omitted.

  The video synthesizing unit 861 inputs the video information, the subtitle information and the application information output from the MMT decoding processing unit 841 and the video information, the subtitle information and the application information output from the MPEG2-TS decoding processing unit 842, Processing such as appropriate selection and / or superposition is performed. The video composition unit 861 includes a video RAM (not shown), and the monitor unit 862 and the like are driven based on the video information input to the video RAM.

It is output to the decoding processing unit 842.

[Broadcast receiver time display]
In the broadcast receiving apparatus 800 of the present embodiment, the current date and current time can be displayed on the EPG screen, various setting screens, and the like. The information about the current date and the current time is transmitted by MH-TOT or the like in the broadcasting service that adopts MMT as the media transport system, and MPEG- in the broadcasting service that adopts MPEG2-TS as the media transport system. It is transmitted by TOT (Time Offset Table) or the like included in SI (Service Information) defined in the two systems. The broadcast receiving device 800 can acquire the information on the current date and the current time by referring to the MH-TOT and the TOT.

  Further, in general, when the video synthesizing unit 861 mainly selects the video information and the like output from the MMT decoding processing unit 841, the information regarding the current date and the current time acquired from the MH-TOT is described above. When the video synthesizing unit 861 mainly selects the video information or the like output from the MPEG2-TS decoding processing unit 842 by superimposing it on the video information or the like, the information regarding the current date and the current time acquired from the TOT is described above. It may be controlled so as to be superimposed on video information or the like.

  However, since there is a difference in the encoding process / decoding process, the transmission route, etc. between the broadcasting service that uses MMT as the media transport method and the broadcasting service that uses MPEG2-TS as the media transport method, the current time display is particularly shown. In the above, there is a possibility that inconsistency may occur at the time of selecting a broadcast service adopting MMT as a media transport method and at the time of selecting a broadcast service adopting MPEG2-TS as a media transport method. For example, as shown in FIG. 25, an EPG screen 162g displaying channel information of a broadcasting service adopting MMT as a media transport system, an EPG displaying channel information of a broadcasting service adopting MPEG2-TS as a media transport system from an EPG screen 162g. When the screen display is switched to the screen 162h, there is a possibility that the user may feel a sense of visual discomfort due to inconsistency caused by switching the current time display 162g1 to the current time display 162h1.

  In the broadcast receiving apparatus 800 of the present embodiment, even in the case where the video synthesizing unit 861 mainly selects the video information output from the MMT decoding processing unit 841 in order to prevent the user's visual discomfort. , And controls to superimpose the information on the current date and the current time acquired from the TOT on the video information and the like. That is, the control is performed so that the current time information provided by the broadcasting service adopting MPEG2-TS as the media transport method is superimposed on the content of the broadcasting service adopting the MMT as the media transport method.

  By performing the control, the broadcast receiving apparatus 800 of the present embodiment always displays the current time information acquired by referring to the TOT when displaying the current time. Therefore, even when switching between a broadcasting service that uses MMT as the media transport method and a broadcasting service that uses MPEG2-TS as the media transport method, the user feels a sense of visual discomfort due to inconsistent display of the current time. It is possible to prevent this.

  It should be noted that FIG. 26A shows an example of selection control of the current time information reference source according to the reception status of each broadcast service in the broadcast receiving apparatus 800 of the present embodiment. In the broadcast receiving apparatus 800 of the present embodiment, the current time information is always referred to by referring to the TOT when the broadcast service adopting MPEG2-TS as the media transport system is ready to be received. The MH-TOT can be received only when the broadcast service adopting the MPEG2-TS as the media transport method cannot be received and the broadcast service adopting the MMT as the media transport method can be received. Control to obtain the current time information by referring to.

  Further, contrary to the control described above, the current time information provided by the broadcasting service adopting MMT as the media transport method is superimposed on the content of the broadcasting service adopting the MPEG2-TS as the media transport method. Even if controlled, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  In addition, as described above, in the case where control is performed so that the current time information provided by the broadcasting service that uses MPEG2-TS as the media transport method is superimposed on the content of the broadcasting service that uses the MMT as the media transport method. And a case where control is performed so that the current time information provided by the broadcast service that employs MMT as the media transport system is superimposed on the content of the broadcast service that employs MPEG2-TS as the media transport system. In the same manner, the current time information can be corrected by referring to the “delta” parameter of the time information in the TMCC extended information area, as in the case of [Time management of broadcast receiving device] in the first embodiment. It is possible.

  Further, in both cases of the broadcasting service adopting MMT as the media transport method and the broadcasting service adopting MPEG2-TS as the media transport method, the MH-TOT or TOT transmitted by each broadcasting service constituting the network is It is possible that there is an error due to a malfunction of the transmitting system or a transmission error. In the broadcast receiving apparatus 800 of the present embodiment, as a countermeasure against the error of the MH-TOT or TOT, when it is determined that the MH-TOT or TOT acquired from the service being received has an error, the other network Which has a function to update the time information of the built-in clock by acquiring MH-TOT or TOT from other broadcasting services of other networks or referring to the current time information. And

  FIG. 26B shows an example of the update processing of the current time information when the broadcast receiving apparatus 800 of the present embodiment is receiving the broadcast service adopting MPEG2-TS as the media transport method. It should be noted that even when the broadcast service adopting MMT as the media transport method is being received, the same processing as the processing shown in FIG.

  When updating the time information of the built-in clock in the broadcast receiving apparatus 800 of the present embodiment, first, the receiving function executing unit 1102 receives MPEG2 of the broadcasting service currently being received (broadcasting service adopting MPEG2-TS as a media transport method). -Obtain TOT from the TS data string (S301), and further obtain the current time information by referring to the obtained TOT (S302). Next, the reception function execution unit 1102 performs a process of comparing the current time information acquired in the process of S302 with the time information of the built-in clock.

  As a result of the comparison processing, when the difference between the current time information acquired in S302 and the time information of the internal clock is within a predetermined value (for example, within 3 minutes) (S303: Yes), the reception function execution unit 1102 The time information of the built-in clock is updated with the current time information acquired in the process of S302 (S306). On the other hand, as a result of the comparison process, when the difference between the current time information acquired in S302 and the time information of the built-in clock is not within a predetermined value (S303: No), or the TOT acquired in S301 is included in the data. When the reception function execution unit 1102 has a flag indicating that there is an error, the reception function execution unit 1102 acquires the TOT from the MPEG2-TS data string of another broadcast service in the same network, or an arbitrary TOT of another network. MH-TOT is acquired from the MMT data string of the broadcasting service (broadcasting service adopting MMT as the media transport method) (S304), and further, current time information is acquired from the acquired TOT or MH-TOT (S305). . The reception function execution unit 1102 may perform the comparison process of S303 again with the current time information acquired in the process of S305.

  Through the above processing, when the broadcast receiving apparatus 800 of the present embodiment determines that the MH-TOT or TOT acquired from the service being received has an error, the broadcast receiving apparatus 800 uses another broadcast service of the same network or another It is possible to update the time information of the built-in clock by acquiring MH-TOT or TOT from any broadcast service of the network and referring to the current time information.

  If the current time information whose difference from the time information of the built-in clock is within a predetermined range cannot be obtained by repeating the processing of S304 to S305, such as at the time of initial setting after factory shipment, obtain it by the processing of S302. The time information of the built-in clock may be set again using the present time information. By doing so, it is possible to deal with the case where there is an error in the time information side of the built-in clock of the broadcast receiving apparatus 800 of this embodiment.

[EPG display of broadcast receiving device]
Event schedule information of a broadcasting service adopting MMT as a media transport system is transmitted by MH-EIT or the like.

・ "EOTF_identification (EOTF identification)"
EOTF (Electro-Optical Transfer Function) identification is to identify the type of conversion characteristics (transfer characteristics) between an electric signal and an optical signal such as gamma correction applied to a video signal of video content included in a component stream. . For example, in the example shown in FIG. 29D, when this parameter is “0”, the video content is BT. It shows that the gamma correction suitable for the monitor device having the display characteristics conforming to 709 is applied. If this parameter is “2”, the video content is BT. It is shown that gamma correction of 10-bit processing suitable for a monitor device having 2020-compliant display characteristics is performed. If this parameter is “3”, the video content is BT. 12 shows that gamma correction of 12-bit processing suitable for a monitor device having 2020-compliant display characteristics is performed. Further, when this parameter is "4", it indicates that the video content is subjected to gamma correction suitable for a monitor device having a display characteristic conforming to SMPTE2084. Furthermore, other classification may be performed using this parameter. The “EOTF identification” parameter may be capable of identifying the type of colorimetry. It should be noted that the types of conversion characteristics (transfer characteristics) of electric signals and optical signals shown in FIG. 29D are examples, and the video signals of the video content are subjected to processing of conversion characteristics (transfer characteristics) of other electric signals and optical signals. The characteristic may be identified by the "EOTF identification" parameter.

  Here, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 that has received the video content and the “EOTF identification” parameter refers to the “EOTF identification” parameter associated with the video content, and further displays the display characteristics of the monitor device that displays the video content. With reference to the above, by performing appropriate processing such as electro-optical conversion based on the both, it becomes possible to display each of the video contents in a state suitable for the monitor device. For example, when the transfer characteristic identified by the “EOTF identification” parameter associated with the video content corresponds to the display characteristic of the monitor device that displays the video content, the “EOTF identification” parameter is used in the display process. The electrical-optical conversion identified by can be performed as it is. If the transfer characteristic identified by the “EOTF identification” parameter associated with the video content does not correspond to the display characteristic of the monitor device that displays the video content, the transfer characteristic is identified by the “EOTF identification” parameter. The electro-optical conversion is not performed as it is, but the video signal obtained by converting the electric signal and the optical signal according to the identification of the “EOTF identification” parameter is subjected to the electro-optical conversion corresponding to the display characteristics of the monitor device. After the conversion processing for converting into a video signal suitable for the above processing, the display processing for performing the electro-optical conversion corresponding to the display characteristics of the monitor device may be performed.

  The above-mentioned video signal that has been subjected to the conversion processing between the electric signal and the optical signal according to the identification of the "EOTF identification" parameter is converted into the video signal suitable for the processing of the electro-optical conversion corresponding to the display characteristics of the monitor device. The conversion processing for conversion will be described below. In the following, the above process will be referred to as a transfer characteristic conversion process.

  The video content having the values of “2”, “3”, and “4” in the “EOTF identification” parameter is HDR video content having a wide range of expressible light and dark, a color gamut, and the like. On the other hand, the video content having a value of “0” in the “EOTF identification” parameter is an SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) video content in which the range of light and dark that can be expressed is narrower than the HDR video content.

  In addition, BT. A display device having a display characteristic conforming to 2020 and a display device having a display characteristic conforming to SMPTE2084 can be referred to as an HDR compatible display device. On the other hand, BT. A display device having a display characteristic conforming to 709 can be referred to as an SDR compatible display device. Furthermore, BT. 709 conforming to the display characteristics of BT.709. A display device that does not support HDR display characteristics such as 2020 or SMPTE 2084 may be referred to as an SDR-compatible display device (non-HDR compatible display device) as a subordinate concept of the SDR-compatible display device.

  Here, the HDR video content is referred to as BT. If the transfer characteristic conversion process is not performed when displaying on an SDR compatible display device (HDR non-compatible display device) such as a monitor device having a display characteristic conforming to 709, a wide light-dark range or color gamut of the HDR video content is obtained. And the like cannot be displayed on the monitor device, resulting in a display image having a crushed brightness and a crushed color. That is, in this case, in the transfer characteristic conversion process, a process of converting a wide light-dark range, a color gamut, or the like of the HDR video content into a light-dark range, a color gamut, or the like expressible by the monitor device is performed. I'm fine. The processing may be expressed as light and dark dynamic range reduction conversion and color gamut reduction conversion. Further, since it is a process of converting HDR video content having a wide range of expressible light and dark, a color gamut and the like into SDR video content having a narrow range of expressible light and dark, a color gamut and the like, it is expressed as HDR-SDR conversion processing. Is also good.

  On the other hand, the video content having a value of "0" in the "EOTF identification" parameter is an SDR video content having a narrow expressible light / dark range, a color gamut, and the like. If the SDR video content is BT. When displaying on an HDR-compatible display device such as a monitor device having a display property conforming to 2020, if the transfer characteristic conversion process is not performed, the wide bright-dark display performance and the color gamut display performance of the monitor device should be sufficiently utilized. I can't. That is, in this case, in the transfer characteristic conversion processing, the conversion processing may be performed on the SDR video content so that the wide light-dark display performance, the color gamut display performance, and the like of the monitor device can be fully utilized. The processing may be expressed as light and dark dynamic range expansion conversion and color gamut expansion conversion. Further, since it is a process of converting SDR video content having a narrow expressible light / dark range, color gamut, etc. into HDR video content having a wide expressible light / dark range, color gamut, etc., it is referred to as an SDR-HDR conversion process. Is also good. Note that the SDR-HDR conversion process is not always necessary, and the SDR video content is set to BT. It is not necessary to perform the SDR-HDR conversion process when displaying on an HDR compatible display device such as a monitor device having 2020-compliant display characteristics. In this case, the bright and dark display performance and the color gamut display performance remain within the range of the display characteristics of the SDR, but there is no problem because the display image does not become difficult to see with the brightness collapse and the color collapse.

  It should be noted that if the “EOTF identification” parameter is not associated with the video content received by the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 and cannot be acquired (when it is not originally transmitted), or if the “EOTF identification” parameter is associated with the video content received by the broadcast receiving apparatus 100. The following processing may be performed as an example of the processing in the case where the value of the “EOTF identification” parameter cannot be obtained and cannot be determined due to a transmission error or the like.

  As a first processing example, the value of the “EOTF identification” parameter of the received video content may be treated as being “2” or “3”, for example. That is, when the value of the "EOTF identification" parameter cannot be identified, the video content may be treated as HDR video content. With this configuration, the monitor device can operate the BT. An HDR-compatible display device such as a monitor device having a display property conforming to 2020 does not perform the transfer characteristic conversion processing, but if the actual content is an HDR video content, an appropriate display is made, and the actual content is an SDR video content. However, the bright and dark display performance and the color gamut display performance are still within the range of the display characteristics of the SDR, but the display image does not become difficult to see with the brightness collapse and the color collapse. Further, the monitor device is BT. In the case of an SDR compatible display device (non-HDR compatible display device) such as a monitor device having a display characteristic conforming to 709, the transfer characteristic conversion processing is performed by handling the video content as HDR video content. If the content is HDR video content, it is appropriately subjected to HDR-SDR conversion processing and displayed, and even if the actual content is SDR video content, the light / dark display performance and color gamut display performance are better than the display characteristic range of SDR. Although it will be further limited, it is possible to prevent the display image from being difficult to see with a crushed brightness and a crushed color that cannot fully express the range of light and darkness and the color gamut of the video content. (When the SDR-HDR conversion process is performed when the actual content is the HDR video content, or when the actual content is the HDR video content, the HDR-SDR conversion is performed on the SDR compatible display device (non-HDR compatible display device). In the case of displaying the image as it is without performing it, there is a possibility that such a difficult-to-see display image with a crushed brightness or a crushed color may be displayed, but this situation can be avoided in the first processing example.)

  According to the first processing example described above, when the value of the “EOTF identification” parameter cannot be identified, the video content is treated as the HDR video content, so that the monitor device is an HDR compatible display device. Whether the display device is an SDR-compatible display device (non-HDR-compatible display device) or the actual content is an HDR video content or an SDR video content, it is possible to display a video with few problems for the user.

  Also, as another second processing example of the processing when the value of the “EOTF identification” parameter cannot be acquired (including the case where it is not transmitted, the case of a transmission error, etc., the case of an invalid value), the video component descriptor is shown. It is also possible to decide whether to handle the video signal as HDR video content or SDR video content by referring to a parameter relating to the resolution of the video signal included in the above.

  For example, even if the value of the “EOTF identification” parameter cannot be identified, the parameter relating to the resolution of the video signal may be that the resolution of the video content is high resolution content such as 3840 × 2160 pixels or 7680 × 4320 pixels. In the case where it is shown, it may be determined that it is HDR video content. Specifically, it may be interpreted that the value of the "EOTF identification" parameter is "2" or "3". It is expected that high-resolution contents of 3840 × 2160 pixels or 7680 × 4320 pixels will be prepared as HDR video contents in the future in many cases. Therefore, such processing facilitates stochastic appropriate display.

  Even if the value of the “EOTF identification” parameter cannot be identified, if the resolution parameter of the video signal indicates that the resolution of the video content is 1920 × 1080 pixels or less, the SDR video You may judge that it is content. Specifically, it may be interpreted that the value of the "EOTF identification" parameter is "0". Since many existing SDR contents exist for contents having a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels or less, such processing facilitates stochastically appropriate display.

  According to the second processing example described above, when the value of the “EOTF identification” parameter cannot be identified, the determination is performed by referring to the parameter relating to the resolution, so that the stochastic appropriate display is facilitated.

  Next, processing will be described when the value of the “EOTF identification” parameter associated with the video content received by the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 is a value for which the relationship with the display characteristic is not prepared in the table of FIG. 29D. Here, in the table of FIG. 29D, a value that does not have a relationship with the display characteristic means that the value of the “EOTF identification” parameter in the table of FIG. 29D is a future value such as “1” or “5” to “15”. This is the case when the reserved value for the or for the unexpected value is stored. These values may be expressed as invalid values. Even in the case of such an invalid value (a value for which a relationship with the display characteristic is not prepared), the same effect can be obtained by performing either the first processing example or the second processing example described above. Is obtained.

  In the configuration diagram of FIG. 7A, the video color gamut conversion unit 142 controlled by the control of the main control unit 101 based on the data separated by the separation unit 132 performs the various kinds of video processing according to the “EOTF identification” parameter described above. I'm fine.

  Here, when the video content to be displayed is switched between the HDR video content and the SDR video content due to a program change or channel switching, the timing at which the decoded video from the video decoder 141 in FIG. 7A is switched between the HDR video content and the SDR video content. Ideally, the timing at which the video processing of the video color gamut conversion unit 142 is switched between the processing for HDR video content and the processing for SDR video content is ideal. However, in reality, it is conceivable that a timing shift will occur.

  In the HDR-compatible display device that performs the SDR-HDR conversion process on the SDR video content, when the HDR video content is switched to the SDR video content, the timing of switching the video processing of the video color gamut conversion unit 142 is from the video decoder 141. If it becomes earlier than the switching timing of the decoded video, it takes time to perform the SDR-HDR conversion process on the HDR video content, and there is a possibility that a hard-to-see display video with crushed brightness or crushed color may be displayed. . Therefore, when switching from the HDR video content to the SDR video content, the main control unit 101 sets the switching timing of the video processing of the video color gamut conversion unit 142 to be later than the switching timing of the decoded video from the video decoder 141. The processing timings of the video decoder 141 and the video color gamut conversion unit 142 may be controlled. Alternatively, the video may be controlled to be in a video mute state such as black display before the switching of the both starts the processing, and the video mute state such as the black display of the video may be released after the switching between the both is completed. .

  In addition, in the HDR compatible display device that performs the SDR-HDR conversion process on the SDR video content, when the SDR video content is switched to the HDR video content, the timing of switching the video processing of the video color gamut conversion unit 142 is the video decoder 141. If it is later than the switching timing of the decoded video from, the time for performing the SDR-HDR conversion process on the HDR video content will occur, and there is a possibility that a display video with crushed brightness and crushed color may be displayed. Will end up. Therefore, when the SDR video content is switched to the HDR video content, the main control unit 101 sets the switching timing of the video processing of the video color gamut conversion unit 142 to be earlier than the switching timing of the decoded video from the video decoder 141. The processing timings of the video decoder 141 and the video color gamut conversion unit 142 may be controlled. Alternatively, the video may be controlled to be in a video mute state such as black display before the switching of the both starts the processing, and the video mute state such as the black display of the video may be released after the switching between the both is completed. .

  In an SDR-compatible display device that performs HDR-SDR conversion processing on HDR video content and displays without performing transfer characteristic conversion processing on SDR video content, an image is displayed when switching from HDR video content to SDR video content. When the switching timing of the video processing of the color gamut conversion unit 142 is earlier than the switching timing of the decoded video from the video decoder 141, the HDR video content is displayed on the SDR-compatible display device without performing the transfer characteristic conversion processing. Therefore, there is a possibility that a hard-to-see display image having a crushed brightness and a crushed color may be displayed. Therefore, when switching from the HDR video content to the SDR video content, the main control unit 101 sets the switching timing of the video processing of the video color gamut conversion unit 142 to be later than the switching timing of the decoded video from the video decoder 141. The processing timings of the video decoder 141 and the video color gamut conversion unit 142 may be controlled. Alternatively, the video may be controlled to be in a video mute state such as black display before the switching of the both starts the processing, and the video mute state such as the black display of the video may be released after the switching between the both is completed. .

  In an SDR-compatible display device that performs HDR-SDR conversion processing on HDR video content and displays without performing transfer characteristic conversion processing on SDR video content, when switching from SDR video content to HDR video content When the switching timing of the video processing of the color gamut conversion unit 142 becomes later than the switching timing of the decoded video from the video decoder 141, the HDR video content is displayed on the SDR-compatible display device without performing the transfer characteristic conversion processing. Therefore, there is a possibility that a hard-to-see display image having a crushed brightness and a crushed color may be displayed. Therefore, when the SDR video content is switched to the HDR video content, the main control unit 101 sets the switching timing of the video processing of the video color gamut conversion unit 142 to be earlier than the switching timing of the decoded video from the video decoder 141. The processing timings of the video decoder 141 and the video color gamut conversion unit 142 may be controlled. Alternatively, the video may be controlled to be in a video mute state such as black display before the switching of the both starts the processing, and the video mute state such as the black display of the video may be released after the switching between the both is completed. .

  As described above, by performing the processing related to the switching timing of the decoded video and the switching timing of the transfer characteristic conversion processing, it is possible to avoid presenting to the user an unsightly display video with a crushed luminance or a crushed color. Becomes

  In place of or in addition to the identification processing using the "EOTF_identification" parameter in the content information descriptor described above and various video processing, the same identification as the above-mentioned "EOTF_identification" parameter can be performed in the encoded video stream. The flag may be inserted, and the identification process and various video processes using the inserted flag may be performed. The identification processing and various video processing when the “EOTF_identification” flag is used as the flag in the encoded video stream is the same as the identification processing and various video processing when the “EOTF_identification” parameter in the content information descriptor is used. In the description, instead of referring to the “EOTF_identification” parameter in the content information descriptor, it may be performed by referring to the “EOTF_identification” flag inserted in the encoded video stream, and thus detailed description is omitted. To do.

  However, if the “EOTF_identification” flag as the flag in the coded video stream is inserted into the coded video stream in frame units or GOP units, for example, the content information descriptor set in asset units or program units Switching between HDR video content and SDR video content and switching of various video processing corresponding to each video content can be realized in a finer time unit than when the “EOTF_identification” parameter is used. That is, the video decoder 141 can recognize the switching between the HDR video content and the SDR video content in frame units or GOP units, and the video color gamut conversion unit 142 in the subsequent stage further determines the HDR video content and the SDR video content in frame units or GOP units. Since it is possible to refer to the identification information of the content, the synchronization accuracy of the switching timing of the video processing in the video color gamut conversion unit 142 is improved as compared with the case where the "EOTF_identification" parameter in the content information descriptor is used. There is.

  When the transmission of the “EOTF_identification” flag in the encoded video stream and the transmission of the “EOTF_identification” parameter in the content information descriptor are used together, the identification process using the “EOTF_identification” flag in the encoded video stream is The “EOTF_identification” parameter in the content information descriptor, which is used for switching the video processing of the video color gamut conversion unit 142, is, for example, the HDR video content program in which the program is displayed in the program guide or the program information in the program guide. If it is used for display to inform the user whether it is an SDR video content program or the like, it is possible to properly use the identification information of both.

  Further, when the transmission of the “EOTF_identification” flag in the encoded video stream and the transmission of the “EOTF_identification” parameter in the content information descriptor are used together, the processing when the identification information of the both is inconsistent, The following are possible: A first processing example is an example in which the "EOTF_identification" flag in the encoded video stream is preferentially used. In this case, there is an advantage that the switching between the HDR video content and the SDR video content as described above can be accurately synchronized with the switching timing of the corresponding video processing. The second processing example is an example of preferentially using the "EOTF_identification" parameter in the content information descriptor. In this case, there is an advantage that the transfer characteristics and the like can be quickly identified without referring to the encoded video stream.

  The content information descriptor described above may have a data structure different from that shown in FIG. 29A. For example, another parameter different from each of the parameters may be further included, or all of the parameters may not be included. Also, different names may be used for the parameters. Further, each parameter does not necessarily have to be described in one descriptor, and may be described in two different descriptors, for example. Further, each of the parameters may be described in the descriptor and arranged in the table, or may be directly described in the table.

[EPG display of broadcast receiving device]
Also in the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, information such as the start time and the broadcast time of each event (broadcast program) is obtained by identifying the service ID by referring to the MH-EIT or the like. It is assumed that the EPG screen can be created by acquiring the above, and the created EPG can be displayed on the monitor unit 162 by being superimposed on the video information and the like by the video composition unit 161.

  Further, in the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the “content_type” parameter of the content information descriptor is referred to, and if the video content type of each broadcast program is “1” or “3”, As shown in 30, a symbol or the like representing an attribute indicating that the broadcast program is a program compatible with HDR may be displayed. The symbol or the like representing the attribute may be, for example, a symbol / character indicating that it is a broadcast program corresponding to HDR, or "HDR" that means a broadcast program corresponding to HDR is symbolized. The marked mark 162a5 may be used. The symbol or the like representing the attribute may be displayed in the title area 162a2 of the detailed information 162a1. Alternatively, when the cursor is placed on the detailed information 162a1, it may be displayed in a pop-up. It may be displayed by other methods.

  If the content information descriptor additionally has “HDR_flag” or the like, which is a parameter indicating whether or not the video content of the broadcast program is compatible with HDR, refer to the “HDR_flag” parameter. By doing so, it may be possible to control whether or not to display a symbol or the like indicating an attribute indicating that the broadcast program is a program compatible with HDR. The name of the “HDR_flag” parameter is an example, and a different name may be used.

When all or any of the “source_luminance_max” parameter, the “max_light_level_of_content” parameter, the “max_light_level_of_frame” parameter, or the like of the content information descriptor exceeds a predetermined value (for example, “100 (cd / m ² )”), Control may be performed so as to display a symbol or the like indicating an attribute indicating that the broadcast program is a program compatible with HDR.

It should be noted that by referring to the “content_type” parameter of the content information descriptor and the like, even when the type of the video content of each broadcast program is “1” or “3”, or the “source_luminance_max” of the content information descriptor. Even if all or any of the “” parameter, the “max_light_level_of_content” parameter, the “max_light_level_of_frame” parameter, or the like exceeds a predetermined value (for example, “100 (cd / m ² )” or the like), the monitor unit of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100. If 162 does not support HDR, a symbol / character indicating that it is a broadcast program corresponding to the HDR or a mark 162a5 that symbolizes "HDR" that means that the broadcast program corresponds to the HDR is Control may be performed so as not to show.

  Further, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment refers to the “EOTF_identification” parameter of the content information descriptor, and the type of gamma correction applied to the video content of each broadcast program is the monitor unit 162 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100. If the type is compatible with the display characteristics, a symbol or the like indicating an attribute indicating that the broadcast program is a program that can be displayed with the correct luminance expression may be displayed. The symbol or the like representing the attribute may be, for example, a symbol / character indicating that the program can be displayed with the correct luminance expression, or a program that can be displayed with the correct luminance expression. It may be a mark 162a6 in which “Contrast” is symbolized. The case where the type of gamma correction applied to the video content of each broadcast program is a type that can be supported by the display characteristics of the monitor unit 162 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 is, for example, “EOTF_identification related to the video content. Parameter is “0”, and the display characteristic of the monitor unit 162 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 is BT. 709, and so on.

  By displaying the symbols representing the attributes as described above on the detailed information 162a1 of the EPG screen 162a, the user can determine whether or not each broadcast program displayed on the EPG screen 162a is compatible with HDR and a correct luminance expression. It is possible to easily grasp whether or not the program can be displayed by.

[Color gamut conversion processing of broadcast receiving device]
In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the video content, which is a recorded program, has been subjected to video / audio editing processing by the editing device 390e, as shown in FIG. That is, the video content provider edits and edits the video content while checking it on the monitor device of the editing device 390e. Therefore, the video content is suitable under the color reproduction performance of the monitor device of the editing device 390e. There is a high possibility that it will be displayed. On the other hand, the monitor unit 162 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100, which is a monitor apparatus used by the user to view the video content, generally has different color reproduction performance depending on the manufacturer and the model. In this case, if the color reproduction performance of the monitor device of the editing device 390e and the color reproduction performance of the monitor unit 162 of the broadcast reception device 100 are significantly different, the video content is displayed on the monitor unit 162 of the broadcast reception device 100. When doing so, there is a possibility that a problem may occur in that the video content provider cannot correctly perform the intended video expression.

  That is, in the broadcasting system of the present embodiment, as described above, the content information descriptor is transmitted as the MMT-SI descriptor. In this content information descriptor, as a parameter indicating information about the color reproduction performance of the source device, each primary color of R / G / B of the color gamut that the source device can support and a white reference point on the CIE chromaticity diagram. Coordinate values are shown.

  In the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, various information storage areas of the storage unit 110 have a color gamut R / G / that can be supported by the monitor unit 162 as a parameter indicating information regarding color reproduction performance of the monitor unit 162. It is assumed that the coordinate values of each primary color of B and the white reference point on the CIE chromaticity diagram are stored. In the above situation, the coordinates of each primary color of R / G / B and the white reference point of the color gamut that the source device can support, which are described in the content information descriptor, are R0 / G0 / B0 and W0, and the coordinates of each primary color of R / G / B and the white reference point of the color gamut that can be supported by the monitor unit 162 stored in the various information storage areas of the storage unit 110 are R1 / In the case of G1 / B1 and W1, in particular, of the area configured by R0 / G0 / B0 which is the color gamut which the source device can support, R1 / G1 / which is the color gamut which the monitor unit 162 can support. A portion that does not overlap with the area configured by B1 is an area that may not be correctly displayed on the monitor unit 162.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment stores the color gamut described in the content information descriptor that the source device can support and various information storage areas of the storage unit 110. A color gamut conversion processing function for converting video data of the video content into video data suitable for display on the monitor 162 when there is a deviation from the color gamut that the monitor 162 can support is provided. . Hereinafter, the color gamut conversion function included in the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 will be described.

  The color gamut conversion processing function provided in the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment is, in other words, the color gamut of the video data (the color gamut R0 / G0 / B0 shown in FIG. This is a function of converting the color gamut based on the color reproduction performance of the monitor unit 162 (equivalent to the configured area) (the area configured by R1 / G1 / B1 shown in FIG. 31A).

  The color gamut conversion processing function included in the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is such that the color gamut of the video data is R / G / of the color gamut that can be supported by the source device described in the content information descriptor. By referring to the coordinate value of each primary color of B and the coordinate value of each primary color of R / G / B of the color gamut that can be supported by the monitor unit 162 stored in various information storage areas of the storage unit 110, The conversion may be performed so that correct color reproduction can be performed on the monitor unit 162.

  Note that on the line segment R0 / G0 (or in the vicinity thereof), the R / G primary color coordinate values of the color gamut compatible with the source device and the R / G primary colors of the color gamut compatible with the monitor unit 162 are supported. The color gamut conversion process may be performed by referring to only the coordinate values of. On the line segment G0 / B0 (or in the vicinity thereof), the coordinate values of the G / B primary colors of the color gamut compatible with the source device and the G / B primary colors of the color gamut compatible with the monitor unit 162 are displayed. The color gamut conversion process may be performed by referring to only the coordinate values. On the line segment R0 / B0 (or in the vicinity thereof), the coordinate values of the R / B primary colors of the color gamut compatible with the source device and the R / B primary colors of the color gamut compatible with the monitor unit 162 are displayed. The color gamut conversion process may be performed by referring to only the coordinate values.

  Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 31B, the color gamut of the video data may be divided into three areas, and the color gamut conversion processing may be different for each of the divided areas. For example, in a region formed by R0 / G0 / W0 in the color gamut of the video data, the coordinate values of the R / G primary colors and the white reference point of the color gamut that the source device can support and the monitor. The color gamut conversion processing is performed by referring to each R / G primary color of the color gamut that the unit 162 can support and the coordinate value of the white reference point. In the area formed by G0 / B0 / W0 in the color gamut of the video data, the G / B primary colors of the color gamut that the source device can support and the coordinate values of the white reference point and the monitor unit 162. The color gamut conversion process is performed by referring to each of the G / B primary colors of the color gamut that can be supported by and the coordinate value of the white reference point. In the area constituted by R0 / B0 / W0 of the color gamut of the video data, the R / B primary colors of the color gamut compatible with the source device and the coordinate value of the white reference point and the monitor unit 162. The color gamut conversion processing is performed by referring to each of the R / B primary colors of the color gamut that can be supported by and the coordinate value of the white reference point.

  Further, when the color gamut conversion processing is different for each of the divided areas, further, on the line segment R0 / W0 (or in the vicinity thereof), the R primary color and the white reference point of the color gamut that the source device can support are The color gamut conversion process may be performed by referring to only the coordinate values and the coordinate values of the R primary color and the white reference point of the color gamut that the monitor unit 162 can correspond to. On the line segment G0 / W0 (or in the vicinity thereof), the primary color of G in the color gamut compatible with the source device and the coordinate value of the white reference point and the primary color of G in the color gamut compatible with the monitor unit 162 and The color gamut conversion process may be performed by referring to only the coordinate values of the white reference point. On the line segment B0 / W0 (or in the vicinity thereof), the B primary color of the color gamut compatible with the source device and the coordinate value of the white reference point and the B primary color of the color gamut compatible with the monitor unit 162 and The color gamut conversion process may be performed by referring to only the coordinate values of the white reference point.

  An example of the color gamut conversion processing will be described with reference to FIG. 31C. In the figure, R0, G0, and B0 are the coordinates of each primary color of R / G / B of the color gamut that can be supported by the source device described in the content information descriptor, respectively (R0x, R0y), It has the coordinate values of (G0x, G0y) and (B0x, B0y). Further, R1, G1, and B1 are coordinates of each primary color of R / G / B of a color gamut that can be supported by the monitor unit 162 stored in various information storage areas of the storage unit 110, respectively (R1x, R1y). ), (G1x, G1y), and (B1x, B1y). Further, P0 is predetermined color gamut data of the video content, and has a coordinate value of (P0x, P0y). In this case, the color gamut data of P0 is converted into the color gamut data shown in P1 by the color gamut conversion processing. It should be noted that P1 has a coordinate value of (P1x, P1y), and is calculated by the arithmetic expression of the color gamut conversion processing shown below as an example.

<Example of arithmetic expression for color gamut conversion processing>
P1 = αR1 + βG1 + γB1
However,
α = {(G0y-B0y) (P0x-B0x) + (B0x-G0x) (P0y-B0y)} / {(G0y-B0y) (R0x-B0x)
+ (B0x-G0x) (R0y-B0y)}
β = {(B0y-R0y) (P0x-B0x) + (R0x-B0x) (P0y-B0y)} / {(G0y-B0y) (R0x-B0x)
+ (B0x-G0x) (R0y-B0y)}
γ = 1-α-β

  It should be noted that the arithmetic expression is a color gamut R / G that is compatible with the source device described in the content information descriptor for the color gamut conversion processing of all color gamut data in the color gamut area of the video content. By referring to the coordinate value of each primary color of G / B and the coordinate value of each primary color of R / G / B of the color gamut that can be supported by the monitor unit 162 stored in various information storage areas of the storage unit 110 This is an example of the case. Even when the color gamut of the video data is divided into three areas and the color gamut conversion processing is different for each of the divided areas, the same calculation can be performed. (However, the parameters to be referred to are different.) Further, since the arithmetic expression is a known arithmetic expression using a barycentric coordinate system, detailed description regarding the derivation of the arithmetic expression will be omitted. Further, the above-mentioned arithmetic expression is merely an example, and the coordinate value of P1 may be calculated using a different arithmetic expression.

  Further, when the entire gamut area of the video content is included in the gamut area that can be supported by the monitor device (broadcast receiving device 100 or the like), the gamut conversion process may not be performed. . For example, the color gamut of the video content is BT. 709 system color gamut, and a monitor device (broadcast receiving device 100, etc.) compatible color gamut is the same BT. When the color gamut is equivalent to that of the 2020 system, the BT. 709. Since it is included in the color gamut of the 2020 system, it is not necessary to perform the color gamut conversion processing. That is, the monitor device (broadcast receiving device 100 or the like) can display all color gamut data included in the video content.

  As described above, according to the color gamut conversion processing function of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the color reproduction performance of the source device is different from the color reproduction performance of the monitor unit 162 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100. Even when the video content is displayed, the video content can be preferably displayed when the video content is displayed on the monitor unit 162 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100.

[Brightness adjustment processing of broadcast receiving device]
It is assumed that the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment has image quality adjustment items as shown in FIG. Each of the image quality adjustment items can be adjusted by the user's operation according to the user's preference. On the other hand, among the image quality adjustment items, the items related to the brightness adjustment may be capable of automatic brightness adjustment with reference to the description of the content information descriptor. Hereinafter, the process of the automatic brightness adjustment will be described.

  In the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, automatic brightness adjustment is performed by referring to (1) “source_luminance_max” parameter and “source_luminance_min” parameter of the content information descriptor, (2) “max_light_level_of_content” parameter and “source_luminance_min”. It is assumed that it is possible to perform automatic brightness adjustment by referring to parameters, and (3) perform automatic adjustment by referring to only the “max_light_level_of_content” parameter.

  In the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the maximum and minimum values of the brightness that can be displayed on the monitor unit 162 are stored in various information storage areas of the storage unit 110 as parameters indicating the information regarding the brightness display performance of the monitor unit 162. It is assumed that

  The automatic brightness adjustment of the method (1) is displayed on the “source_luminance_max” parameter and the “source_luminance_min” parameter described in the content information descriptor, and the monitor unit 162 stored in various information storage areas of the storage unit 110. This is performed by referring to the maximum value / minimum value of possible brightness.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 33A, the brightness level indicated by the “source_luminance_max” parameter is approximately matched to the brightness level of the maximum value of the brightness that can be displayed on the monitor unit 162, and the “source_luminance_min” parameter is changed. The conversion processing of the luminance expression range of the video content is performed so that the indicated luminance level substantially matches the luminance level of the minimum value of the luminance that can be displayed on the monitor unit 162. By performing the conversion process of the brightness expression range, the user can monitor the video content of which the brightness expression is the same as the monitor device of the editing device 390e used by the content provider for editing the content, in the monitor unit of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100. It becomes possible to watch at 162.

  The automatic brightness adjustment of the method (2) is displayed on the “max_light_level_of_content” parameter and the “source_luminance_min” parameter described in the content information descriptor, and the monitor unit 162 stored in various information storage areas of the storage unit 110. This is performed by referring to the maximum value / minimum value of possible brightness.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 33B, the brightness level indicated by the “max_light_level_of_content” parameter is approximately matched with the brightness level of the maximum value of the brightness that can be displayed on the monitor unit 162, and the “source_luminance_min” parameter is changed. The conversion processing of the luminance expression range of the video content is performed so that the indicated luminance level substantially matches the luminance level of the minimum value of the luminance that can be displayed on the monitor unit 162. By performing the conversion process of the brightness expression range, the user can enjoy the video content while making full use of the contrast performance of the monitor unit 162 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100.

  When the content information descriptor further has a parameter indicating the minimum brightness in each scene (chapter) (for example, “min_light_level_of_content (minimum content brightness)”), the “source_luminance_min” parameter is substituted. By referring to the “min_light_level_of_content” parameter, the contrast performance of the monitor unit 162 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 can be used more effectively.

  Further, the conversion processing of the luminance expression range in the above method (2) may be performed by changing the reference parameter for each scene (chapter) when the “num_of_scene” parameter is not “1”. In this case, it is possible to ensure suitable contrast performance in the monitor unit 162 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 for each scene (chapter).

The automatic brightness adjustment of the method (3) is performed by the “max_light_level_of_content” parameter described in the content information descriptor and the maximum value of the brightness that can be displayed by the monitor unit 162 stored in various information storage areas of the storage unit 110. Is done by referring to. The minimum value of brightness is based on “0 (cd / m ² )”. In this case, the same effect as the automatic brightness adjustment of the method (2) can be obtained, and the conversion processing of the brightness expression range can be performed by a simple calculation by referring to a small number of parameters.
Further, the conversion processing of the luminance expression range can be displayed on the monitor unit 162 in which various parameters of the “source_luminance_max” and “max_light_level_of_content” parameters described in the content information descriptor are stored in various information storage areas of the storage unit 110. It may be performed only when the brightness is larger than the maximum value.

  That is, when the “source_luminance_max” parameter and the “max_light_level_of_content” parameter described in the content information descriptor are larger than the maximum value of the brightness that can be displayed by the monitor unit 162 stored in the various information storage areas of the storage unit 110, This is because when the received video content is displayed as it is on the monitor unit of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100, the brightness collapse may occur, but in the opposite case, the brightness collapse may not occur.

  As described above, according to the process of the automatic brightness adjustment of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the user can refer to the content information descriptor so that the user can operate the monitor unit 162 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 in a suitable manner. It becomes possible to view the video content by the brightness expression.

According to the present embodiment, by referring to the content information attached to the program content included in the broadcast wave, it is possible to perform the above-described respective processes corresponding to the expansion of the HDR and the color gamut, and more useful MMT-compatible broadcast reception. A device can be provided.
(Example 4)

  Example 4 of the present invention will be described below. The configuration, effects, and the like in this embodiment are the same as those in the third embodiment unless otherwise specified. Therefore, in the following, differences between the present embodiment and the third embodiment will be mainly described, and common points will be omitted as much as possible to avoid duplication.

Shall indicate in-the range of "65535 (cd / m ^2)" value: "1 (candela / square meter cd / m ^2)." The “source_luminance_max” parameter described in the content information descriptor may be selected and output as the “max_source_mastering_luminance” parameter of the mastering information.

“Min_source_mastering_luminance” is a parameter indicating information about the minimum luminance that the source device can support. The value is shown in the range of “0.0001 (cd / m ² )” to “6.5535 (cd / m ² )”. The “source_luminance_min” parameter described in the content information descriptor may be selected and output as the “min_source_mastering_luminance” parameter of the mastering information.

“Maximum_Content_Light_Level” is a parameter indicating the maximum brightness in the content. The value is shown in the range of “1 (cd / m ² )” to “65535 (cd / m ² )”. The “max_light_level_of_content” parameter described in the content information descriptor may be selected and output as the “Maximum_Content_Light_Level” parameter of the mastering information.

“Maximum_Frame-average_Light_Level” is a parameter indicating the maximum value of the frame average brightness in the content. The value is shown in the range of “1 (cd / m ² )” to “65535 (cd / m ² )”. The “max_frame_ave_light_level” parameter described in the content information descriptor may be selected and output as the “Maximum_Frame-average_Light_Level” parameter of the mastering information.

  The “Light Level Status” is a 2-bit flag signal and represents the status of the “Maximum_Content_Light_Level” parameter and the “Maximum_Frame-average_Light_Level” parameter.

  When the value of this flag is "00b", the "Maximum_Content_Light_Level" parameter and the "Maximum_Frame-average_Light_Level" parameter indicate the maximum brightness and the maximum value of the frame average brightness throughout the content. When the value of this flag is “01b”, the “Maximum_Content_Light_Level” parameter and the “Maximum_Frame-average_Light_Level” parameter indicate the maximum brightness and the maximum value of the frame average brightness for each scene (chapter).

  When the value of this flag is “10b”, it indicates that the “Maximum_Content_Light_Level” parameter and the “Maximum_Frame-average_Light_Level” parameter are omitted. Instead of setting the value of this flag to “10b”, the values of the “Maximum_Content_Light_Level” parameter and the “Maximum_Frame-average_Light_Level” parameter may be set to “0”.

  Each parameter described above is transmitted as mastering information by the broadcast receiving apparatus 40100 of this embodiment to the monitor apparatus 40300 via the connection cable 40200, so that the monitor apparatus 40300 receives the code transmitted from the broadcast receiving apparatus 40100.

Each parameter of the above-mentioned mastering information may further include another parameter different from each parameter shown in FIG. 37, or may not include all of the above-mentioned parameters. Also, different names may be used for the parameters.

[Mastering information generation process of broadcast receiving device]
In the present embodiment, when the “content_type” parameter of the content information descriptor is “2” or “3”, the video content is content data (live broadcast program etc.) output from the photographing device 390c, and The content information descriptor does not have a “max_light_level_of_content” parameter and a “max_frame_ave_light_level” parameter. That is, in live broadcast programs and the like, the maximum values of the maximum brightness and the average brightness throughout the entire content are not determined until the end of the program content.

  In this case, the broadcast receiving apparatus 40100 of the present embodiment outputs the mastering information by setting the value of the “Maximum_Content_Light_Level” parameter and the value of the “Maximum_Frame-average_Light_Level” parameter to “0”. Alternatively, the “max_light_level_of_frame” parameter and the “frame_average_light_level” parameter of the content information descriptor may be used to replace the “Maximum_Content_Light_Level” parameter and the “Maximum_Level_level_level_level” parameter as the “Maximum_Level_level” parameter.

  On the other hand, when the video content is recorded in the content storage area 1200 of the storage unit 110, the broadcast receiving apparatus 40100 may create the “Maximum_Content_Light_Level” parameter and the “Maximum_Frame-average_Light_Level” parameter. That is, by performing the recording process of the video content, the broadcast receiving apparatus 40100 can scan the video content from the start end to the end, and therefore, the maximum brightness and the maximum value of the average brightness throughout the entire content. This is because it is possible to determine

  When the video content recorded in the content storage area 1200 of the storage (accumulation) unit 110 by the recording process is output to the monitor device 40300 from the digital interface unit 40125 via the connection cable 40200 by the reproduction process, the broadcast receiving device 40100. Control to output the maximum value of the maximum brightness and the average brightness over the entire content created by scanning the video content from the start end to the end as the “Maximum_Content_Light_Level” parameter and the “Maximum_Frame-average_Light_Level” parameter. You can go. That is, in the case of the video content that has been once recorded, all the parameters of the mastering information can be output to the monitor device 40300 regardless of the value of the “content_type” parameter of the content information descriptor. .

[Mastering information output control of broadcast receiving device]
Each parameter of the mastering information described above may be always output to the monitor device 40300 connected via the connection cable 40200. Alternatively, the transmission processing unit 40125b of the digital interface unit 40125 on the broadcast receiving device 40100 side can refer to the EDID acquired from the EDID storage unit 40325c of the monitor device 40300, and the monitor device 40300 can perform processing corresponding to HDR and expansion of color gamut. It is also possible to output each parameter of the mastering information to the monitor device 40300 via the connection cable 40200 only when it is understood that Alternatively, only when the content information descriptor indicates that the video content of the broadcast program is a program compatible with HDR, each parameter of the mastering information is monitored via the connection cable 40200. It may be output to the 40300.

In addition, when the content information descriptor described above indicates that the video content of the broadcast program is a program compatible with HDR, the “content_type” parameter of the content information descriptor is “1”. Alternatively, in the case of “3”, when the “HDR_flag” parameter of the content information descriptor indicates HDR correspondence of the video content of the broadcast program, the “source_luminance_max” parameter, the “max_light_level_of_content” parameter, or the “source_luminance_of_content” parameter of the content information descriptor. This is the case when all or any of the “max_light_level_of_frame” parameters and the like exceed a predetermined value (for example, “100 (cd / m ² )” or the like).

  Further, the output of each parameter of the mastering information may be controlled according to the interface type of the digital interface unit 40125. For example, when the interface type of the digital interface unit 40125 is an HDMI interface, control is performed so as to output each parameter of the mastering information, and when it is a DVI interface, each parameter of the mastering information is not output. Control, etc.

  Alternatively, the output of each parameter of the mastering information may be controlled according to the interface type of the digital interface unit 40125 on the broadcast receiving device 40100 side and the interface type of the digital interface unit on the monitoring device 40300 side. For example, when the interface type of the digital interface unit 40125 on the broadcast receiving device 40100 side and the interface type of the digital interface unit on the monitoring device 40300 side are both HDMI interfaces, control is performed so as to output each parameter of the mastering information. When the interface type of the digital interface unit 40125 on the broadcast receiving device 40100 side is the HDMI interface, but the interface type of the digital interface unit on the monitor device 40300 side is not the HDMI interface (for example, a DVI interface or a Display Port interface) If the connection cable 40200 is an interface conversion cable), each parameter of the mastering information is Performs control so as not to output over data, and the like.

  When the digital interface unit 40125 is composed of a first digital interface terminal and a second digital interface terminal, data output is performed from either the first digital interface terminal or the second digital interface terminal. The control may be performed so that the format of the data to be output differs depending on whether the data is output. In this case, each of the digital interface terminals has the configuration shown in FIG. 36 or another configuration.

  For example, when the first digital interface terminal is an HDMI interface and the second digital interface is not an HDMI interface, a video signal and an audio signal are output when data is output from the first digital interface terminal. When the output data including the mastering information is generated and the data is output from the first digital interface terminal, and when the data is output from the second digital interface terminal, it includes a video signal and an audio signal. The output data generation process and the data output process may be controlled so that the output data not including the mastering information is generated and the data is output from the second digital interface terminal.

  As described above, according to the broadcast receiving apparatus 40100 of the present embodiment, by transmitting the mastering information together with the encoded video / audio data to the monitor apparatus 40300, the color gamut conversion processing, the brightness adjustment processing, etc. on the monitor apparatus 40300 side are performed. Can be suitably executed. That is, it is possible to provide a broadcast receiving device capable of executing a function with a higher added value.

For example, a part of the configuration of one embodiment can be replaced with the configuration of another embodiment, and the configuration of another embodiment can be added to the configuration of one embodiment. All of these belong to the category of the present invention. Further, the numerical values, messages, etc. appearing in the text and in the figures are merely examples, and the use of different ones does not impair the effects of the present invention.

Alternatively, the microprocessor unit or the like may be realized by software by interpreting and executing an operation program for realizing each function or the like. Hardware and software may be used together.
