Description

The description of the embodiment relates to a receiving device for receiving a broadcast signal, but also extends to a broadcast signal transmitting device, a broadcasting signal transmitting / receiving device, and a method for realizing the device.

Currently, in devices that receive terrestrial digital television broadcasting, BS digital broadcasting, and broadband CS digital broadcasting, multiple different programs can be recorded at the same time (double recording function), and all channels can be recorded at the same time. Devices that can simultaneously record (record) the programs to be broadcast have been commercialized.

On the other hand, these broadcasts are scrambled on most channels regardless of whether they are pay broadcasts or free broadcasts, and CAS (Conditional) is required to receive and watch programs.
The Access System module (IC card) is indispensable.

The background of this scramble will be explained. When BS digital broadcasting started on December 1, 2000, only pay broadcasting was scrambled, and the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (N)
HK) and free commercial broadcasters were non-scrambled broadcasts.

The purpose of scrambling with the above-mentioned pay broadcasting is to establish a pay broadcasting business. For this reason, at the time of shipment of receivers, basically all receivers scramble broadcast programs so that they cannot be received, and only subscribers who have signed a contract to watch pay broadcasts can scramble pay-view programs. By passing the unlocking key, the receiver can watch the contracted program. As a result, a pay-TV business has been established in which contract programs can be viewed by concluding a reception contract for which consideration is paid.

A television broadcasting mechanism that allows contract programs to be descrambled only to subscribers is called a conditional access system (CAS). The limited reception method is defined by ARIB (Association of Radio Industries and Businesses) standard STD-B25 for domestic terrestrial digital television broadcasting, BS digital broadcasting, and wideband CS digital broadcasting, and the conceptual diagram is the standard STD. -B25, Part 1, Chapter 3.

The Conditional Access method is to allow only subscribers to scramble the program.
Use the heavy key method. The triple key method uses the master key (Km) stored in the CAS module (IC card) to send individual information EMM (Entilem) from the broadcasting station.
ent Management Message) is decrypted and the work key (Kw) is taken out. Common information ECM (En) sent from the broadcasting station using the extracted work key (Kw)
Decrypt the title Control Message) and scramble the key (K)
s) Take out. The scrambled keys (Ks) are used to descramble the scrambled content sent from the broadcasting station.

Broadcasting stations frequently change and send scrambled keys (Ks) in order to prevent unauthorized descramble (the same key can be used for about 1 second). Therefore, the broadcasting station sends the ECM having the scramble key (Ks) of the scrambled key (Ks) of the video by the broadcast wave prior to the video to be descrambled.

On the other hand, when BS digital broadcasting started in December 2000, ARIB TR-B15 was stipulated as an operation regulation that regulates the actual operation parameters of this broadcasting. According to the ARIB TR-B15 Part 1 BS Digital Broadcasting Operation Regulations, Volume 5 BS Digital Broadcasting Limited Reception (CAS) Receiver Specifications and Operation Regulations, the scramble key (Ks) update cycle is the analog television up to that time. However, in consideration of the two-screen function (simultaneous viewing) that has been commercialized and the so-called back recording function that records another channel (CH) during viewing, the standard STD
-In contrast to the regulation that the update cycle is about 1 second described in B25, the background that is defined so that at least two different channels can be simultaneously viewed and recorded if the update cycle is 2 seconds or more is described. ing.

To descramble a contract broadcast program, scramble key (Ks) as described above
Is required, and in order to obtain this scramble key (Ks) (update cycle 2 seconds), the ECM (update cycle 2 seconds) including the scramble key (Ks) can be decrypted using the work key (Kw). It is necessary, and in order to obtain the work key (Kw), the master key unique to the CAS module (
It is necessary to decrypt the EMM (for example, sent once a day) including the work key (Kw) using Km).

On the other hand, in the current receiver, a device capable of simultaneously recording (recording) a plurality of programs being broadcast at a certain time, such as an all-channel recording function, has been commercialized. In other words
(1) There is an environment in which many tuners can be used simultaneously in the receiver. In this case, each scramble key (Ks1 to Ksn) for a large number of tuners within 1 or 2 seconds.
However, it is necessary to consider whether the receiver can take out the scrambled key within a predetermined time.
(2) In the limited reception method, pay-TV contract information and automatic display messages are displayed.
EMMs are sent for erasure, but there are two main purposes. One is EMM transmission for regular renewal of the expiration date of the paid contract, and the other is a request to unlock or delete the automatically displayed message immediately after applying for subscription when a new subscriber subscribes to the business. In some cases, the erasing EMM may be sent immediately in order to respond to the above. At this time, the same EMM may be repeatedly sent in the broadcast signal within 1 second or 2 seconds, assuming that the receiver may miss the EMM acquisition. Since the control unit of the receiver cannot determine whether the contents of the EMM have been updated, even under such an environment, it can be received by a large number of tuners described in (1) within 1 second or 2 seconds. It is necessary that each scrambled key (Ks1 to Ksn) is surely acquired by the receiver for each scrambled video signal.

Consideration for ensuring that this scrambled key is obtained at the receiver needs to be considered in the current rules. If the receiver fails to obtain the scramble key, some contractors will not be able to watch the contracted program.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, for example, even if it is exactly one CAS module, a receiving method that can enable viewing of a contract program without missing the processing of ECM and EMM necessary for descramble is provided. The purpose is.

On the other hand, the CAS module 303 inserted in the receiver 300 is a decoding unit 425 that decodes the ECM using the work key 422, and the decoding unit 426 that decodes the EMM using the master key 423 is the receiver 300. It is a decoding unit managed by the CAS module 303 inserted in. The descrambler 420 that descrambles the broadcast wave using the scramble key (Ks) obtained from the CAS module 303 is the descrambler 302 managed by the receiver 300 shown in FIG.

Broadcasting station 200 includes an ECM410 including a scramble key (Ks) and a work key (Kw).
EMM411 containing is generated at each required timing. The broadcasting station 200 multiplexes the generated ECM410 and EMM411 with other program contents and the like, scrambles them with the scrambler 400 using the scramble key (Ks) 401 transmitted by the broadcast wave at that time, and uses the broadcast wave. Send.

The receiver 300 is a scramble key (Ks) 421 obtained from the CAS module 303.
The received broadcast wave is descrambled by the descrambler 420, and the program content included in the broadcast wave is provided to the user.

The purpose of the conditional access system is to allow only subscribers who have acquired the right to watch a program broadcast by a particular broadcast station to watch the program broadcast by that broadcast station. Therefore, it is necessary that only the receiver 300 of the subscriber can take out the scramble key (Ks) 421 transmitted by the broadcast wave.

The ECM 410 is related information common to receivers transmitted by the broadcasting station 200. ECM410
Includes scrambled keys (Ks). This ECM410 has a work key (Kw) 40.

Kw) 402 is included. The EMM 411 is encrypted by the encryption unit 406 with the master key (Km) 403. That is, the receiver 300 is loaded with CAS from the EMM which is the related information of the receiver identification unit (CAS module ID unit) linked one-to-one with the master key (Km) broadcast by the broadcasting station 200. CA obtained from module 303
If the EMM addressed to you can be recognized by the S module ID (card ID), the work key (Kw) included in the decryption of the encrypted EMM using the master key (Km) hidden in the CAS module (IC card). ) Can be taken out, and the taken out work key (Kw)
) Can be used to decrypt the encrypted ECM and retrieve the scrambled keys (Ks) contained therein.

The master key (Km) 423 is stored in a CAS module (IC card) in a concealed state. By applying to the broadcasting station for the CAS module ID (card ID), which is the identification information of the CAS module (IC card) 303, when the subscriber acquires the right to watch the program broadcast by the specific broadcasting station 200, the subscriber can apply to the broadcasting station. The broadcasting station 200 uses a key management system (not shown) to manage the C of the subscriber facing the applied CAS module ID (card ID).
The master key (Km) 423 of the AS module 303 can be determined. In this way, the broadcasting station 200 can obtain the same master key 403 as the master key 423 of the subscriber CAS module 303 from the above-mentioned key management system.

That is, the broadcasting station 200 can encrypt the EMM 411 by using the master key (Km) 403 with the information CAS module ID (card ID) obtained at the time of the subscriber's application. Further, the broadcasting station 200 transmits the EMM4 by setting the information of the CAS module ID (card ID) obtained at the time of the subscriber's application in the unencrypted part of the EMM411.
11 can be set for each subscriber.

The receiver 300 has a CAS module ID (CAS module ID) in the unencrypted portion of the received EMM411.
EMM411 addressed to you is extracted from the information of the card ID), and the extracted EMM addressed to you
411 is transmitted to the CAS module 303. The CAS module 303 that has received the EMM 411 uses the master key (Km) 423 stored in a secret state inside the EMM.
The decoding unit 426 decodes 411 and extracts the work key (Kw) 422. Further, the CAS module 303 uses the extracted work key (Kw) 422 to decode the ECM 410 by the decoding unit 425, and extracts the scramble key (Ks) 421 contained therein. CAS
The card module 303 transmits the extracted scramble key (Ks) 421 to the control unit 330. The control unit 330 that has received the scramble key (Ks) 421 transmits the received scramble key (Ks) to the descrambler 420. Scramble key (K) from control unit 330
The descrambler 420 that has received s) sets the received scramble key (Ks) internally.

The descrambler 420 of the receiver 300 has a scramble key (Ks) set internally.
The broadcast wave received by using the 421 is descrambled 420, and the program content included in the broadcast wave is provided to the user.

As described above, the broadcasting station 200 sends an ECM having a scramble key (Ks) of the scrambled image prior to the descrambled image.

FIG. 4B shows the ECM in the case of terrestrial digital television broadcasting, BS digital broadcasting, and wideband CS digital broadcasting, the scramble key (Ks) contained therein, and the broadcast to be descrambled using the scramble key (Ks). It is a figure which shows the temporal relationship of a signal.

440 is a temporal transition of the broadcast signal of the program received by the receiver 300. 441 is
It shows the temporal transition of the scramble key (Ks) used to descramble the broadcast signal 440. Ks0, Ks1, and Ks2 are scramble keys (Ks) used for descramble the broadcast signal. The scramble key (Ks) used to descramble the broadcast signal is updated in units of 2000 ms.

442 is an ECM received by the receiver 300 and a scramble key (K) contained therein.
It represents the temporal transition of s). The ECM1 contains the scramble keys Ks0 and Ks1, the ECM2 contains the scramble keys Ks1 and Ks2, and the ECM3 contains the scramble keys Ks2 and Ks3. Thus, the ECM has an ODD (odd) key and EVEN (
Both scrambled keys (Ks) of even) keys can be stored.

As shown in FIG. 4B, the receiver 300 sets the scramble key (Ks) included in the ECM.
1600m from the broadcast signal to be descrambled using the scramble key (Ks)
s Can be received in advance. Specifically, the broadcast signal at 2000 ms from time T11 to T12 is descrambled using the scramble key Ks2. The scramble key Ks2 is arranged in the ECM2 and sent from the broadcasting station 200.

The timing at which the receiver 300 receives the ECM2 is the timing of T20, which precedes T11 by 1600 ms. In this way, the receiver 300 receives the scramble key (Ks) prior to the broadcast signal to be descrambled, so that the receiver 300 can descramble the received broadcast signal without delay.

In advanced BS digital broadcasting and advanced wideband CS digital broadcasting, the temporal relationship between the ECM and the scramble key (Ks) contained therein and the broadcast signal to be descrambled using the scramble key (Ks) is shown in the figure. The update cycle of the scramble key (Ks) in 4B is changed from 2000 ms to 8000 ms, and the timing of receiving the ECM in advance is 160.

In broadcasting, the same signal is sent to all recipients, so if you continue to use the scramble key (Ks) for a long period of time, the scramble method itself is a public method specified in the ministerial ordinance notification, so all keys for the key length It is possible to analyze Ks by brute force of. When such a situation occurs, the purpose of limited reception cannot be achieved. Therefore, in the current broadcasting, scramble keys (Ks) that change with time are used. Non-Patent Document 1 defines that the usage time of the same Ks is about 1 second at the shortest per ECM.

Next, the basic operation when the receiver 300 descrambles will be described.

The ID is recognized and the ECM is received (S607). When the control unit 506 receives the ECM, the control unit 506 receives the ECM.
An ECM reception command is issued to the IC card 511.

The IC card 511 that has received the ECM reception command decrypts the encrypted ECM using the extracted work key (Kw) and extracts the scramble key (Ks) (S612).

When the scramble key (Ks) is normally taken out from the IC card 511 (Yes of S612).

The descrambler 502 descrambles the broadcast signal sent from the tuner unit 501 using the set scramble key (Ks) at the required timing as shown in FIG. 4B (S608).

The video signal and audio signal included in the broadcast signal descrambled by the descrambler 502 are separated by the TS decoding unit 503 and then decoded by the video / audio decoding unit 504 (S609). The decoded video signal and audio signal are output to a monitor or speaker (not shown).

If the EMM has not been received even if the contract has not been made or the contract has been made, the CAS module (IC card) returns a response indicating that the EMM has not been received, such as a non-contract (No in S612), as a response of the ECM reception command. Upon receiving the response, the control unit 506 generates a predetermined error message such as a non-contract on the display unit 505 and displays it on the monitor.

Next, a case where the receiver 300 is equipped with two tuners will be described.

First, the relationship between the update cycle of ECM and EMM and the processing of the CAS module (IC card) will be described.

As described above, Non-Patent Document 1 defines that the renewal cycle of the scramble key (Ks), that is, the renewal cycle of the ECM is about 1 second at the shortest.

That is, in consideration of the maximum processing time, the CAS module (IC card) conforming to Non-Patent Document 1 is a CAS module having a performance capable of processing ECM and EMM during the update of the scramble key (Ks) for 1 second. It will be expected to be (IC card).

In order to process multiple channels (multiple tuners) with one CAS module (IC card) conforming to Non-Patent Document 1, a method of extending the update cycle of the scramble key (Ks) and a method of extending the update cycle
1 second scramble key (Ks) by improving the performance of the CAS module (IC card)
) Can be considered as a method that enables processing of a plurality of ECMs and EMMs within the time of the update cycle.

Actually, in Non-Patent Document 4, it is explained as follows.

"A-3-2 update cycle,
The update cycle of ECM is described in the update / retransmission of 5.8.5 ECM of this volume.
The timing according to the processing capacity of the IC card is
-Assuming a maximum processing of 800 ms for 1 ECM-Receiver specifications are assumed on the assumption that the update interval of different ECMs is 1000 ms or more. With the revision of this document ver1.0, the update cycle has been reviewed assuming the following.
-While watching the BS broadcast on the TV screen, the BS counterprogram recording can be processed with one IC card.
-The same thing can be done with one IC card for simultaneous display of any BS channel on two screens.
From the above, if the ECM update interval is 2000 ms or more, at least two scramble services for input in different TSs can be processed by one IC card. "
That is, the CAS module (IC card) conforming to Non-Patent Document 1 has a scramble key (K).
Since processing is possible for the update cycle of s) of 1 second, it is possible to process at least 2 channels (2 tuners) by setting the update cycle of the ECM to 2 seconds.

That is, by setting the ECM update cycle to 2 seconds, if the CAS module (IC card) conforms to Non-Patent Document 1, it has 2 channels (2 channels) according to the operation regulations regardless of its command response performance.
Up to two tuners) are allowed.

When there are two tuners, the CAS module (IC card) serially processes the ECM and EMM included in the broadcast wave received by each tuner according to the command from the receiver. ECM and EMM processing for the first tuner, ECM for the second tuner
, EMM processing must be performed within 2 seconds, which is the update cycle of the scramble key (Ks).

FIG. 8 is a basic configuration diagram of the receiver 800 for descrambled broadcast waves when it has two tuners, as opposed to the basic configuration of the receiver when it has one tuner as shown in FIG. Is. The difference from FIG. 5 in FIG. 8 is that one tuner section is added and the first tuner section 801-1 and the second tuner section 801-2 are configured, and the tuner section is distributed to correspond to the two tuner sections. The point that the vessel 813 is added and the point that the built-in recording / recording unit 812 is added. The other 802 to 810 and 811 are the same as 502 to 510 and 511 in FIG.

The receiver 800 has two tuner units, a first tuner unit 801-1 and a second tuner unit 801-2, so that the program selected by one tuner unit is output to the monitor, and at the same time, another tuner unit is output. It is possible to record a program different from the program output to the monitor selected in step 1 and save it in the recording / recording unit 812. The recording / recording unit 812 is, for example, a built-in HDD (hard disk drive).

Processing when the broadcast wave of channel 1 to be output on the monitor is selected by the first tuner section 801-1 and the broadcast wave of channel 2 to be recorded by the recording / recording section 812 is selected by the second tuner section 801-2 at the same time. Will be explained.

Channel 1 (servi) output to the monitor by the user operating the remote controller 810
When ce_id_1) is selected, the control unit 806 receives the PAT extracted by the TS decoding unit 803 and determines whether the PMT of the service_id_1 is being transmitted in the broadcast wave currently being received.

If the result of the determination is not transmitted, the control unit 806 controls the first tuner unit 801-1 in order to select the broadcast wave to which the service_id_1 is transmitted by referring to the NIT sent from the TS decoding unit 503. To do.

The control unit 806 is the PID of the EMM contained inside the CAT arranged in the selected broadcast wave.
Is recognized and EMM is received. The control unit 806 is the EMM addressed to itself from the received EMMs.
Is determined from the information of the card ID set in the non-encrypted part of the EMM. Control unit 80
6 extracts the EMM addressed to itself based on the information of the card ID, and transmits the EMM to the IC card 811. The IC card 811 that has received the EMM from the control unit 806 decrypts the encrypted EMM using the internal master key (Km), extracts the work key (Kw), and stores it.

Further, the control unit 806 refers to the received PAT and wants to select a service_id_.
Receives 1 PMT, recognizes the ECM PID contained inside the received PMT, and recognizes the ECM.
To receive. When the control unit 806 receives the ECM, the control unit 806 issues an ECM reception command to the IC card 811.

The IC card 811 that has received the ECM reception command decrypts the encrypted ECM using the extracted work key (Kw) and takes out the scramble key (Ks).

When the IC card 811 normally takes out the scramble key (Ks), the IC card 811 transmits the scramble key (Ks) to the control unit 806 as a normal response to the ECM reception command.

The control unit 806 that has received the scramble key (Ks) receives the scramble key (Ks).
To the descrambler 802. The descrambler 802 sets the received scramble key (Ks) internally.

The descrambler 802 descrambles the broadcast signal sent from the first tuner unit 801-1 using the set scramble key (Ks) at the required timing as shown in FIG. 4B.

The video signal and audio signal included in the broadcast signal descrambled by the descrambler 802 are separated by the TS decoding unit 803 and then decoded by the video / audio decoding unit 804. The decoded video signal and audio signal are output to a monitor or speaker (not shown).

In the reserved recording, the user makes a recording reservation of a desired program in an electronic program guide (EPG, not shown) or the like. The control unit 806 controls the second tuner unit 801-2 when the start time of the program reserved for recording is approached according to the setting contents of the recording reservation, and selects the channel reserved for recording.

The control unit 806 is the PID of the EMM contained inside the CAT arranged in the selected broadcast wave.
Recognizes and receives EMM. The control unit 806 is the EM addressed to itself from the received EMMs.
M is determined from the information of the card ID set in the non-encrypted portion of the EMM. Control unit 8
06 extracts the EMM addressed to itself based on the information of the card ID, and transmits the EMM to the IC card 811. The IC card 811 that has received the EMM from the control unit 806 decrypts the encrypted EMM using the internal master key (Km), extracts the work key (Kw), and stores it.

Further, the control unit 806 refers to the PAT and PM of the service_id_2 to be selected.
It receives T, recognizes the ECM PID contained inside the received PMT, and receives the ECM. When the control unit 806 receives the ECM, the control unit 806 issues an ECM reception command to the IC card 811.

The IC card 811 is processed by the ECM included in the broadcast wave selected by the first tuner section 801-1 with one IC card (one CAS module) and is selected by the second tuner section 801-2. It is necessary to perform both processing of ECM included in the broadcast wave.

The processing of the IC card 811 starts the processing in response to a request from the receiver, but the exchange of data between the control unit 806 and the IC card 811 is a request from the control unit 806 to the IC card 811. Until the response from the IC card 811 to the control unit 806 is returned, the control unit 806 has a rule that the next request cannot be transmitted to the IC card 811.

Therefore, when the control unit 806 continuously receives the ECM from the TS decoding unit, the control unit 806 receives the ECM continuously.
The timing for requesting ECM processing is adjusted in consideration of the retransmission cycle and the like, and the ECM reception command for requesting processing is issued.

Similarly, in the EMM processing, the IC card 811 has the first tuner unit 801-1.
Since it is necessary to process both the EMM included in the broadcast wave selected in the first tuner and the EMM included in the broadcast wave selected in the second tuner unit 801-2, each of the control units 806 needs to perform the processing. The timing of requesting the EMM processing is adjusted so as not to overlap with the timing of requesting the ECM processing, and a command is issued to the IC card 811.

The IC card 811 has already received the contracted EMM at the time of processing the ECM included in the broadcast wave selected by the first tuner unit 801-1, and the work key (Kw) is selected from the received EMM. ) Has been extracted, the work key (Kw) can be used to decode the EMC requested to be processed and extract the scramble key (Ks). IC card 81
When the EMC can be decoded and the scramble key (Ks) can be extracted, 1 transmits the scramble key (Ks) to the control unit 811 as a normal response of the ECM reception command to the control unit 806.

The control unit 806 that has received the scramble key (Ks) transmits the received scrabble key (Ks) to the descrambler 802. The descrambler 802 receives the scrambled key (
Ks) is set internally. The descrambler 802 descrambles the broadcast wave selected by the second tuner unit 801-2 using the set scramble key (Ks). The descrambled broadcast wave is decoded by the TS decoding unit 803, converted into a predetermined recording format (for example, the TS format encrypted with the device-bound unique key) and recorded in the recording / recording unit 812.

When playing back a recorded program stored in the recording / recording unit 821, the recording / recording unit 8
The recording format stored in 21 is returned to the format decoded by the TS decoding unit 803, and output to the monitor by the video / audio decoding unit 804.

Further, the receiver can be equipped with three or more tuners.

When the receiver is equipped with three or more tuners, for example, when supporting the so-called W back recording function that can record two different channels at the same time other than the program being viewed, ECM processing, E
The processing of MM becomes complicated.

If one CAS module (IC card) can support up to 2 channels, 3
In order to reliably process one tuner, it is necessary to mount two CAS modules (IC cards).

Since the control unit 906 is included inside the CAT arranged in the selected broadcast wave, the P of the EMM.
Recognize the ID and receive the EMM. The control unit 906 determines the EMM addressed to itself from the received EMMs from the card ID information set in the unencrypted portion of the EMMs. When the control unit 906 extracts the EMM addressed to itself based on the information of the card ID, the control unit 906 transmits the EMM to a predetermined first IC card 911-1 or a second IC card 911-2.
The first IC card 911-1 or the second IC card 9 that received the EMM from the control unit 906.
11-2 decrypts the encrypted EMM using the internal master key (Km), extracts the work key (Kw), and stores it.

Further, the control unit 906 refers to the PAT and PM of the service_id_2 to be selected.
It receives T, recognizes the ECM PID contained inside the received PMT, and receives the ECM. When the control unit 906 receives the ECM, the control unit 906 issues an ECM reception command to the predetermined first IC card 911-1 or the second IC card 911-2.

Since the IC cards 911-1 and 911-2 are guaranteed to process up to two channels simultaneously with one IC card by the operation regulations, the first tuner unit 901-1 and the second tuner unit 901-2, It is necessary to set the correspondence between the third tuner unit 901-3 and the first IC card 911-1 and the second IC card 911-2, which are CAS modules that perform CAS processing, on the setting screen such as the user interface. Yes (not shown).

For example, the first tuner section 901-1 and the second tuner section 901-2 are used as the first IC card 91.
It is assumed that the processing is performed by 1-1 and the third tuner unit 901-3 is associated with the second IC card 911-2. In this case, a subscription contract is made to acquire the right to watch channels A, B, and C provided as pay broadcasting with the information of the card ID of the first IC card 911-1, and the card ID of the second IC card 911-2. If you make a subscription contract to acquire the right to watch channels D, E, and F provided as pay-TV with the information in, for example, if you want to record channels A and F at the same time while watching channel C. Is the first tuner part 90
If channel C is selected by 1-1, channel A is selected by the second tuner section 901-2, and channel F is selected by the third tuner section 901-3, the contracted pay-TV channel and the first IC card 911 -1 and 2nd IC card 911-2 can be supported.

However, when the third tuner unit 901-3 tries to process the broadcast wave of channel A, the second IC card 911-2 does not have a contract to watch the broadcast wave of channel A, so that the second IC card In 911-2, the EMM including the contract information for viewing the channel A cannot be extracted, and as a result, the broadcast wave of the channel A cannot be descrambled. Also, if one IC card (CAS module) is contracted for three different channels (for example, channels A, B, C) and EMM is received, one of these three channels will not be viewed at different times. Although it is possible to record, it is possible to perform simultaneous processing of simultaneous recording of channels B and C while watching channel A. However, as described above, as described in Non-Patent Document 4, one I is in a restricted state in which one IC card can only process TS of two channels (tuners) at the same time.
There is a problem that the C card cannot process TS of 3 different channels at the same time.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the following points are focused on as the main points.

In the present embodiment, in a receiver equipped with a plurality of tuners for the convenience of the user,
In order to reduce the burden on the user and reduce the cost of setting the association between a plurality of tuners and a plurality of IC cards, a rule is created so that processing can be performed with as few IC cards (CAS modules) as possible.

Therefore, for example, it is important to be able to strictly examine the number of tuners capable of simultaneous reception processing even with one CAS module (IC card).

That is, what is newly specified is the number of EMMs to be processed within a certain period, and whether the number of EMMs to be processed within a certain period is specified as a transmission rule or the number of processed units within a certain period is specified as a receiver rule. It is a means of. This makes it possible to strictly examine how many tuners can perform simultaneous reception processing with one CAS module (IC card).

A digital broadcast transmitter controlled by the number of EMMs to be transmitted and the number of EMMs and / or EMM individual messages sent per ECM or scramble key update cycle during a period.

Next, it will be described from the background that the present embodiment exhibits useful functions.

According to the conventional standards and operating regulations, the following must be considered in order to enable simultaneous processing of two different tuners in one CAS module (IC card). Therefore, when assuming a receiver with 3 or more tuners, in addition to the conventional standards and operational standards, commands with the CAS module (IC card) ECM and CAS module (IC card) such as EMM. It is necessary to understand the performance required for the response.

However, even if the command response performance of the ECM or EMM of this CAS module (IC card), the transmission frequency of the ECM, the update cycle, and the grace period until the post-processing of the EMM are determined, the exact number of tuner processes is possible. It is difficult to examine in detail.

Generally, the ECM is updated every few seconds, so even if the retransmission cycle is sent every 100 ms, the ECM process must be prioritized when a plurality of tuners are mounted.

On the other hand, EMM has an attribute that does not require immediate processing as compared with ECM, but in some cases, although it is not as immediate as ECM, it may require processing as quickly as possible. For example
(A) Viewer A who wants to acquire the right to watch a program broadcast by a specific broadcasting station (business entity)
For procedures related to subscription and troubleshooting at the time of subscription, call the customer center of the broadcasting station (business entity) to subscribe to, and follow the telephone guidance to select the channel of the broadcasting station with the self-receiver.
Telling the card ID number of the receiver of the viewer A (b) While the viewer A is still making a call, for example, the broadcasting station (business entity) sets the card ID number given by the phone. (C) If the receiver of viewer A receives the EMM and can take out the scramble key (Ks), it is possible to descramble the broadcast signal of the channel (so-called key unlocking is possible). Become)
(D) This allows Viewer A to confirm the completion of the contract procedure.
In the case of the scenes (a) to (d) above, the EMM processing is not as immediate as the ECM, but it is a reality that the processing may be required as quickly as possible.

In this way, when the business entity and the viewer make a telephone call and the viewer performs the viewing contract procedure while checking the reception status of the receiver, it is assumed that the receiver may make a mistake in receiving the EMM. Therefore, it is assumed that the broadcasting station (business entity) transmits the EMM with the same card ID set in a burst for a certain period of time, assuming that the receiver makes a mistake in receiving the EMM.

In the ECM, the receiver may control the reception of the ECM so that at least one is received within the period in which the same Ks is used according to the renewal of the scramble key (Ks). Because the receiver does not control the reception of the EMM, all the EMMs sent to it are received, and all the received EMMs are received by the CAS module (IC card).
It is considered that it is basic to send to and request processing.

Therefore, after the receiver receives the EMM, the CAS module (IC) has a certain period of time.
It is desirable to process the card). Therefore, in the ARIB standard, the response performance of the CAS module (IC card) is shown by the CAS module provider, and the EMM reception command is issued to the CAS module (IC card) after the receiver receives the EMM. The grace period until the above is stipulated.

According to this regulation, on the premise that EMM is sent to the same CAS module (IC card) infrequently, problems are not so likely to occur, but as mentioned above, when unlocking by telephone is performed, It is also expected that multiple EMMs will be sent in a short time.

Recently, the number of tuners installed has increased, and receivers equipped with a multi-channel recording function, and also for high-bandwidth BS / CS broadcasting (so-called 4) in Appendix 7 of Part 1 of Non-Patent Document 5
K8K broadcasting) CAS and current wideband satellite broadcasting (so-called 2K broadcasting) CAS integrated CA
Regulations have been made that can be mounted on the S module.

There is the following description in Appendix 7.
"Appendix 7 Shared Receivers for Current Broadcasting and Advanced BS Digital Broadcasting Reception of Advanced BS Digital Broadcasting and BS Digital Broadcasting / Broadband CS Digital Broadcasting specified in ARIB TR-B15 or Terrestrial Digital Television specified in ARIB TR-B14 The provisions for applying the same CAS module to the reception of BS digital broadcasting / wideband CS digital broadcasting and terrestrial digital television broadcasting at the time of shared reception capable of receiving at least one of John broadcasting are shown below. " ..

However, when the number of tuners installed in the receiver that receives the current wideband satellite broadcasting (so-called 2K broadcasting) is large, or the advanced wideband satellite broadcasting (so-called 4K8K broadcasting) and the current broadcasting (so-called 4K8K broadcasting)
It is quite possible that a receiver that receives (so-called 2K broadcasting) receives and processes a large number of channels with one CAS module (IC card) in the future.

In such a situation, in Non-Patent Document 5, Non-Patent Document 3 and Non-Patent Document 4, EC
If the update cycle of M (scramble key (Ks)) is different, or if the ECM or EMM response performance is different between advanced broadband satellite broadcasting (so-called 4K8K) and current broadcasting (so-called 2K), use the receiver. It is essential to study strict timing control for ECM and EMM processing.

However, it is difficult to study timing control related to ECM and EMM processing in order to obtain a receiver equipped with a large number of tuners that can support various broadcasting systems only with the current provisions regarding EMM.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, for example, by defining the transmission frequency of the EMM as described in (1) to (12) above, it is possible to strictly set the reception processing timing of the ECM and the EMM. It is possible to determine the specifications of the number of tuners and prevent unexpected problems such as missing EMM.

In the triple key structure limited reception method shown in FIG. 4A, in addition to the provisions that the ECM update cycle is 2000 ms and the retransmission cycle is 100 ms as technical regulations on the transmitting side, "EMM is one CAS module ID per business entity. However, it is assumed that the content of the regulation "send one in 30 seconds" is newly added.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the temporal relationship between the ECM, EMM, and scramble key (Ks) in the limited reception method.

Under the above conditions, since the ECM update is 2000 ms, the key (Ks) for scrambling the broadcast program is also updated in 2000 ms.

The scramble key (Ks) included in the ECM and the scramble key (K) included in the ECM.
The details of the temporal relationship of the scramble key (ks) for descrambled the broadcast signal using s) are as shown in FIG. 4B.

FIG. 11 shows a scramble key (Ks) on the transmitting side as shown in FIG. 5.8-1 of Volume 5 of Non-Patent Document 3.
The timing of transmitting the ECM including the above and the timing of transmitting the descrambled video signal using the scramble key (Ks) included in the ECM are illustrated. The horizontal axis is the time axis.

The transmitting side is, for example, a broadcasting station. 1101 shows the temporal transition of sending the ECM including the scramble key (Ks). 1102 shows the temporal transition of the video signal descrambled by using the scramble key (Ks) included in the ECM.

The section of T1 + T2 is the section where the same ECM is sent. The section of T3 is T1 + T
This is the section in which the video signal descrambled using the scramble key (Ks) included in the ECM sent in the section 2 is transmitted. ECM containing scrambled keys (Ks)
T from the video signal descrambled using the scramble key (Ks) included in the ECM
It is transmitted from the broadcasting station in advance of 1 (= 1600 ms).

An implementation example of limited reception of the receiver in the transmission / reception system according to the transmission rule shown in FIG. 11 is shown below.

FIG. 12 is an implementation example of limited reception of the receiver in the transmission / reception system according to the transmission rule shown in FIG. 1201 is a temporal transition of the received program. The received program 1201 is at time T
11 is scrambled at Ks0, time T11 to T12 is scrambled at Ks1, time T12 to T13 is scrambled at Ks2, and time T13 to T14.
It shows that it is scrambled with Ks3.

1202 is a temporal transition of the received ECM. The ECM2 is received at the timing of time T21, indicating that the ECM contains the scramble keys (Ks) Ks1 and Ks2. The above receiver is at time T21 while watching the program. Receives ECM2 and CAS module (I
Issue a command to the C card). The CAS module (IC card) completes the ECM processing between the times of the section T21 and the section T12. The CAS module (IC card) transmits the scramble key Ks2 obtained by the ECM processing to the receiver, and the receiver is MUL.
It is set in the TI2 type descrambler, and the scrambled program is descrambled using Ks2 from the time T12.

Also, when switching from another channel between sections T22 and T13, the receiver is E.
Receives CM3 and issues a command to the CAS module (IC card).

The receiver enables descramble by obtaining Ks3 transmitted by the ECM3 in response from the CAS module (IC card).

As shown in FIG. 7, the CAS module (IC card) conforming to Non-Patent Document 1 is an ECM.
It is expected that the total value of EMM processing can be within 1000 ms.

As the performance of the CAS module (IC card) mounted on the receiver, for example, when the ECM processing time is 385 ms and the EMM processing time is 500 ms, how many tuners are one C.
Whether it can be processed by the AS module (IC card) can be determined through the following examination.

Assuming that the EMM addressed to the self-receiver is received between the sections T21 and T12, T2
Since the EMM processing is not performed at the time of 1, the receiver is 160 between the sections T21 and T12.
At 0 ms, four ECMs can be processed (Case 1 in FIG. 12).

In other words, it seems that the CAS module (IC card) can process up to 4 tuners only in this state.

Next, if the receiver starts the processing of the EMM received between the times T21 to T12 at the time T12, the CAS module (IC card) takes 500 ms to process the EMM, so that the receiver uses the CAS module ( The timing of receiving the notification of the completion of processing of the four ECMs from the IC card) exceeds the time T22, which is the time when descramble is started using the next scramble key Ks3, by 100 ms. That is, the receiver is the timing E of this T12.
When MM processing is started, 1500 until T13 when ECM processing must be completed
It is ms, and ECM can process only up to 3 (Case 2 in FIG. 12).

Next, when the receiver receives the EMM at T23, which is the update timing of the ECM, and starts processing, the remaining 1100 ms is between the sections T23 and T14, and up to two ECMs can be processed (FIG. 12). Case 3). That is, on the above premise, one CAS module (I)
It is possible to consider that the number of tuners that can be processed by the C card) is up to 2 tuners.

The above is an example of the performance of the CAS module (IC card) and the EMM transmission frequency per business entity in the EMM processing grace period. Next, use one CA for more than two tuners at the receiver.
An embodiment in the case of processing with the S module (IC card) will be described.

FIG. 13 shows that the number of tuners is increased to three and the recording / recording section is increased with respect to the basic configuration of the receiver shown in FIG. 4.1, Volume 5 of Non-Patent Document 4 shown in FIG. It is an added block diagram.

The difference between FIGS. 13 and 5 is that two tuners are added and the first tuner section 1301-1, the second tuner section 1301-2, and the third tuner section 1301-3 are composed of three tuners. Distributor 1313 is added to correspond to the unit, built-in recording / recording unit 13
12 is added. Others 1302 to 1311, 502 to 5 in FIG.
It is the same as 11.

The three tuners are terrestrial digital television broadcasting, BS digital broadcasting, and wideband CS.
Either digital broadcasting or a tuner capable of three-wave channel selection may be used, and any three channels can be viewed, recorded, and recorded as the specifications of the receiver.

It is assumed that the IC card 1311 (CAS module) used here has the response performance of ECM and EMM capable of processing three tuners by one. For example, the response performance of the IC card 1311 is 300 ms for the ECM response performance and 500 ms for the EMM response performance. Receiver 1
300 is 1 within the grace period when EMM processing is required for IC card 1311 after receiving EMM.
Suppose that one EMM is sent per business entity.

FIG. 14 is an implementation example of limited reception of the receiver having the basic configuration shown in FIG.

1401 is a temporal transition of the received program. The received program 1401 is at time T1.
It shows that up to 1 is scrambled at Ks0, between times T11 and T12 is scrambled at Ks1, between times T12 and T13 is scrambled at Ks2, and between times T13 and T14 is scrambled at Ks3. .. 1402 is a temporal transition of the received ECM.

In the example of FIG. 14, during 1600 ms from the time of the ECM update timing T21 including Ks2 to T12 when the scramble key of the broadcast content is switched to Ks2, the first tuner unit 1301-1, which is the three tuners of FIG. The ECM of each channel selected by the second tuner unit 1301-2 and the third tuner unit 1301-3 and the EMM of at least one of the channels can be processed.

As shown in FIG. 14, the EMM received by the first tuner unit 1301-1 is processed between the times T21 and T12, and the EMM received by the second tuner unit 1301-2 is processed between the times T22 and T13. , The EMM received by the third tuner unit 13010-3 may be processed between the times T23 and T14. That is, in this case, the total processing time of the ECM and EMM of the IC card 1311 is (ECM response processing time = 300 ms) × (3 tuners) + (EMM response processing time = 500).
ms) = 1400ms ≤ 1600ms
In the IC card 1311, which is, processing is possible for three tuners.

In the receiver shown in FIG. 13, as a use case, a case where two different programs are recorded (so-called W back recording) while watching a certain broadcast will be described.

Channel 1 (service_id_1) by remote control 1310 operation by the user
When is selected, the control unit 1306 performs the service in the broadcast wave currently being received.
Whether or not the e_id PMT is transmitted is determined by receiving the PAT extracted by the TS decoding unit 1303.

When the transmission is not performed as a result of the determination, the control unit 1306 refers to the NIT sent from the TS decoding unit 1303 and selects the broadcast wave to which the service_id_1 is transmitted, so that the first tuner unit 1301-1 is selected. Control.

The control unit 1306 is a CAT arranged on the broadcast wave selected by the first tuner unit 1301-1.

When the control unit 1306 makes a recording reservation, at least the service_i of the program to be reserved
d, the program start time (including the date and time), the end time, or the broadcast duration from the program start is stored in the memory area (not shown) of the schedule management of the recorded program. The control unit 1306 manages the schedule for recording reservations of the two different channels reserved for recording so that the program A is selected by the second tuner unit 1301-2 and the program B is selected by the third tuner unit 1301-3. Even in the programs selected by the 2nd tuner section 1301-2 and the 3rd tuner section 1301-3, EM
The procedure for acquiring M is the same as in the case of the first tuner unit 1301-1.

The channel selected by the remote controller 1310 is selected by the first tuner unit 1301-1. The control unit 1306 is a PAT of the broadcast wave of the program selected by the first tuner unit 1301-1.
Refers to, receives the PMT of the service_id_1 to be selected, recognizes the ECM PID, and receives the ECM. When the control unit 1306 receives the ECM, the control unit 1306 receives the IC card 131.

The IC card 1311 that has received the ECM receives the already contracted EMM and the work key (
If Kw) has been extracted, the scramble key (Ks) is transmitted to the control unit 1306 as a normal response. The control unit 1306 that has received the scramble key (Ks) transmits the received scramble key (Ks) to the descrambler 1302. The descrambler 1302 internally sets the received scramble key (Ks).

The descrambler 1302 descrambles the broadcast signal corresponding to the ECM that has transmitted the scramble key (Ks) using the set scramble key (Ks), and sends it to the TS decoding unit 1303. The TS decoding unit 1303 that received the descrambled broadcast signal
Predetermined video and audio signals are extracted from the video and audio ES PID of the selected channel, and
It is sent to the video / audio decoding unit 1304. The video / audio decoding unit 1304 decodes the transmitted video / audio signal and outputs it to the monitor 14 or a speaker (not shown).

Scheduled recording is performed for a desired program by the user in an electronic program guide (EPG, not shown) or the like.
The control unit 1306 controls the second tuner unit 1301-2 when the start time of the program A reserved for recording is approached according to the setting contents of the recording reservation, and selects the channel reserved for recording.

The control unit 1306 sets the service_id_2 of the program A in the broadcast wave currently being received.
It is determined by receiving the PAT extracted by the TS decoding unit 1303 whether or not the PMT is being transmitted.

If the result of the determination is not transmitted, the control unit 1306 refers to the NIT sent from the TS decoding unit 1303 and selects the broadcast wave to which the service_id_2 of the program A is transmitted, so that the second tuner unit 1301- 2 is controlled.

The control unit 1306 is a CAT arranged on the broadcast wave selected by the second tuner unit 1301-2.
Recognizes the PID of the EMM contained inside and receives the EMM. The control unit 1306 sets the EMM addressed to itself from the received EMMs as the card ID set in the unencrypted portion of the EMMs.
Judgment from the information of. When the control unit 1306 extracts the EMM addressed to itself based on the card ID information, the control unit 1306 transmits the EMM to the IC card 1311. The IC card 1311 that has received the EMM from the control unit 1306 is an EM that is encrypted using the master key (Km) that it has inside.
Decrypt M, extract the work key (Kw), and save it.

The timing at which the control unit 1306 sends the EMM to the IC card 1311 is as shown in FIG. The control unit 1306 temporarily stores the received EMM until an appropriate timing for sending the EMM to the IC card 1311 is reached. The IC card 1311 that has received the EMM from the control unit 1306 decrypts the encrypted EMM using the internal master key (Km), extracts the work key (Kw), and stores it.

Further, the control unit 1306 receives the PMT of the service_id_2 to be selected by referring to the PAT of the broadcast wave of the program selected by the second tuner unit, and recognizes the ECM PID contained in the received PMT. Receive ECM. When the control unit 1306 receives the ECM, the control unit 1306 issues an ECM reception command to the IC card 1311.

The difference from FIG. 15 of FIG. 16 is that there are three tuner sections (first tuner section 1601-1 and second tuner section).
The point that it is composed of the tuner part 1601-2 and the third tuner part 1601-3), the point that the distributor 1613 is added to correspond to the three tuner parts, and the recording / recording part 1612 such as HDD. Is added. Other than that, 1602 to 1611 are the same as 1502 to 1511 in FIG.

-3 is a tuner section corresponding to 4K8K broadcasting. The receiver 1600 is a specification that allows viewing, recording, and recording of any three channels.

It is assumed that the CAS module used here has the response performance of ECM and EMM capable of processing three tuners by one.

According to Non-Patent Document 5, the update cycle of the scramble key (Ks) on the transmitting side is 8000 ms.
After updating the ECM, it takes 7600 ms to start scrambling the broadcast signal using the scramble key (Ks) included in the ECM.

The response performance of the IC card (CAS module) 1611 is, for example, the response performance of ECM.
It is assumed that the response performance of 00 ms and EMM is 650 ms.

It is assumed that the receiver 1600 transmits one EMM per entity to the CAS module 1611 after receiving the EMM during the grace period during which the EMM processing is required.

FIG. 17 is an implementation example of limited reception of the receiver having the basic configuration shown in FIG.

1701 is a temporal transition of the received program. The received program 1701 is at time T1.
It shows that up to 1 is scrambled at Ks0, between times T11 and T12 is scrambled at Ks1, between times T12 and T13 is scrambled at Ks2, and between times T13 and T14 is scrambled at Ks3. .. 1702 is a temporal transition of the received ECM.

In the example of FIG. 17, during the 7600 ms from the time of the ECM update timing T21 including Ks2 to T12 when the scramble key of the broadcast content is switched to Ks2, the first tuner unit 1601-1, which is the three tuners of FIG. Each ECM selected by the second tuner unit 1601-2 and the third tuner unit 1601-3 and the EMM of at least one channel can be processed.

As shown in FIG. 17, the EMM received by the first tuner unit 1601-1 is processed between the times T21 and T12, and the EMM received by the second tuner unit 1601-2 is processed between the times T22 and T13. , The EMM received by the third tuner unit 1601-3 may be processed between the times T23 and T14. That is, in this case, the ECM and EM of the CAS module 1611
The total processing time of M is (ECM response processing time = 600 ms) × (3 tuners) + (EMM response processing time = 650)
ms) = 2450 ms ≤ 7600 ms
In the CAS module 1611, it is possible to process three tuners.

In the receiver shown in FIG. 16, as a use case, a case where two different programs are recorded while watching a certain broadcast (so-called W back recording) will be described.

When a specific channel (service_id) is selected by the user's remote control 1610 operation, the control unit 1606 receives and stores the TLV-NIT in advance.

Further, the control unit 1606 recognizes the PID of the EMM from the CAT (MH) arranged in the IP data flow selected by the first tuner unit 1601-1, and receives the EMM. Control unit 160
6 extracts the EMM addressed to itself based on the information of the CAS module 1611, and the EM is
M is transmitted to the CAS module 1611.

The timing at which the control unit 1606 sends the EMM to the CAS module 1611 is as shown in FIG. The control unit 1606 temporarily stores the received EMM until an appropriate timing for sending the EMM to the CAS module 1611 is reached. The CAS module 1611 that received the EMM from the control unit 1606 has an internal master key (K).
The encrypted EMM is decrypted using m), and the work key (Kw) is extracted and stored.

In addition, the first tuner unit 1601- using a program guide (not shown) by user operation in advance.
Schedule programs C and D of two channels scheduled to be broadcast at the same time zone, which are different from the channel selected in 1 and output to the monitor.

When the control unit 1606 makes a recording reservation, at least service_i of the program to be reserved
d, the program start time (including the date and time), the end time, or the broadcast duration from the program start is stored in the memory area (not shown) of the schedule management of the recorded program. The control unit 1606 manages the schedule of recording reservations of the two different channels reserved for recording so that the program C is selected by the second tuner unit 1601-2 and the program D is selected by the third tuner unit 1601-3. Even in the programs selected by the 2nd tuner section 1601-2 and the 3rd tuner section 1601-3, EMM
The procedure for acquiring the above is the same as in the case of the first tuner unit 1601-1.

The control unit 1606 receives the packet ID of the message storing the ECM by analyzing the access control descriptor of the MPT included in the broadcast wave selected by the first tuner unit 1601-1. When the control unit 1606 receives the ECM, the control unit 1606 receives the CAS module 1611.
Issue an ECM receive command to.

The CAS module 1611 that has received the ECM reception command uses the extracted work key (K).
The encrypted ECM is decrypted using w) to retrieve the scrambled keys (Ks).

When the CAS module 1611 normally takes out the scramble key (Ks), the CAS module 1611 transmits the scramble key (Ks) to the control unit 1606 as a normal response to the ECM reception command.

The control unit 1606 that has received the scramble key (Ks) receives the scramble key (Ks).
) Is sent to the descrambler 1602. The descrambler 1602 internally sets the received scramble key (Ks). The descrambler 1602 uses the set scramble key (Ks) at the required timing as shown in FIG. 17, and the tuner unit 1601
Discramble the broadcast signal sent from -1.

The descrambled assets are separated into video / audio assets by the MMT multiplex separation unit 1603, the compressed signal is decoded by the video / audio decoding 1604, and output to a monitor or a speaker (not shown).

Scheduled recording is performed for a desired program by the user in an electronic program guide (EPG, not shown) or the like.
The control unit 1606 sets the recording reservation, and the control unit 1606 sets the second tuner unit 1601-at a time slightly before the start time of the program C scheduled to be broadcast in the same time zone reserved in advance in the program guide.
Select 2 to acquire the TLV stream. After the same processing as that of the first tuner 1601-1, the assets descrambled by the descrambler 1602 are transferred to the MMT multiplex separator 160.
Assets such as video, audio, and subtitles to be recorded in step 3 are separated, encrypted with a receiver-specific encryption key, and stored in a recording / recording unit 1612 such as an HDD.

In the case of the reserved program D as well, similarly to the reserved program C, the channel selection process is performed by the third tuner unit 1601-3, and then the program is stored in the recording / recording unit 1612.

When playing back the scheduled recorded program C or program D, the recorded program list is displayed on the user interface (not shown) shown on the screen, the program to be played is selected, and then the control unit records. After reading from the recording unit, descrambled with the above-mentioned receiver-specific key, and obtaining the compressed video / audio asset, the video / audio decoding unit 1604 decodes the compressed signal and monitors or speakers (not shown). Output to.

When the receiver has a plurality of tuner units, the tuner unit may include a tuner unit corresponding to 2K broadcasting and a tuner unit corresponding to 4K8K broadcasting.

The receiver configuration of FIG. 18 is based on the basic configuration of the receiver described in Volume 5 of Non-Patent Document 4 which is a 2K broadcasting operation regulation, and the number of installed tuners is increased. Based on the basic receiver configuration described in Volume 5 of Document 5, it also has the configuration of FIG. 16 with an increased number of installed tuners, and has two tuners for 4K8K reception and two tuners for 2K reception. This is a basic configuration example of a receiver having three.

The CAS module 1811 shown in FIG. 18 includes a 4K8K broadcasting CAS module conforming to Non-Patent Document 5 Volume 5 and Non-Patent Document 4 and Non-Patent Document 5 Volume 5 as shown in Appendix 7 of Non-Patent Document 5. It is a CAS module that integrates the functions of a compliant 2K broadcasting IC card. An embodiment in the case where two 4K8K broadcast tuners and three 2K broadcast tuners are simultaneously processed by using one integrated CAS module will be described.

The channel selection, video / audio display, recording / recording of 2K broadcasting are the same as in the embodiment of FIG. 13, and 4K8K.
Broadcast selection, video / audio display, and recording / recording are the same as in the embodiment of FIG.

Since the receiver 1800 complies with Non-Patent Document 3, Non-Patent Document 4, and Non-Patent Document 5, the grace period from receiving the EMM addressed to itself to issuing a command to the CAS module 1811 is 30 seconds or less. To do.

In addition, as a new regulation on the sending side, "One business entity has one card I within the EMM processing grace period.
When the frequency of transmitting the EMM with D set is set to 1 in 30 seconds, or as a new rule on the receiver side, after receiving the EMM addressed to the CAS ID of the own receiver per business entity. , At least one EMM must be processed against the CAS module in 30 seconds.
If the receiver receives more than the specified EMM, it may be ignored or discarded. It is assumed that the provision is made.

Under this operational rule, the response processing time of ECM and EMM of CAS module 1811 is, for example, the response processing time of ECM in 2K broadcasting is 300ms, the response processing time of ECM in 4K8K broadcasting is 600ms, and EMM is 2K broadcasting and 4K8K. In the case where both broadcasts are 650 ms, verification of the number of tuners that can be implemented by one CAS module and operations related to the CAS module will be described.

FIG. 19 is an implementation example of the limited reception of the basic configuration shown in FIG.

1901 is a temporal transition of the received 4K8K program. The received program 1901 is
Time T11-4, time T11-4 to T12-4, time T12-4 to T1
It shows that different scramble keys (Ks) are scrambled between 3-4 and between times T13-4 and T14-4. 1902 is a temporal transition of reception of ECM and EMM for the program of 1901. 1903 is a temporal transition of the received 2K program. The received program 1903 is up to time T11-2 and from time T11-2 to T1.
It shows that different scramble keys (Ks) are scrambled between 2-2, between times T12-2 and T13-2, and between times T13-2 and T14-2. 1904 is a temporal transition of reception of ECM and EMM for the program of 1903.

First, the conditions under which the third tuner 1801-3, the fourth tuner 1801-4, and the fifth tuner 1801-5 of 2K broadcasting can be processed by the CAS module 1811 are verified.

As shown in FIG. 19, 2K as described in Non-Patent Document 3 and Non-Patent Document 4.
The update cycle of the scramble key (Ks) in broadcasting is 2 seconds, and the update cycle of Ks is 1600 m.
Before s, transmission of ECM including the updated Ks is started. The ECM update is also 2 seconds, which is the same as the Ks update cycle.

That is, the ECM processing for 3 tuners is performed during 1600 ms when the ECM is updated and the Ks of the broadcast signal is updated, and in addition, the channels selected by the 3 tuners within 30 seconds are different entities. In the case of, at least one EMM transmitted by the third tuner section (2K) 1801-3, the fourth tuner section (2K) 1801-4, and the fifth tuner section (2K) 1801-5 can be processed. is necessary.

Next, two tuners for 4K8K broadcasting, that is, the first tuner section (4K8K) 1801-1,
The conditions under which the second tuner unit (4K8K) 1801-2 can be processed by the CAS module 1811 are verified.

As shown in FIG. 19, the update of the scramble key (Ks) in the 4K8K broadcast is 8 seconds as described in Non-Patent Document 5, and the transmission of the ECM including the updated Ks starts 7600 ms before the update of the Ks. Will be done. The ECM update cycle is also 8 seconds, which is the same as the Ks update cycle.

That is, the first tuner section (4K8K) 1801-1 and the second tuner section (4K8K) 1801-2 can be processed within 7600 ms until the ECM is updated and the Ks of the broadcast signal is updated. As in the case, if the channels selected in the first tuner section (4K8K) 1801-1 and the second tuner section (4K8K) 1801-2 are different, 3
1st tuner part (4K8K) 1801-1, 2nd tuner part (4K8K) 1 in 0 seconds
It is necessary that at least one EMM transmitted on the channel selected in 801-2, that is, two EMMs can be processed.

From the above, first, the Ks update cycle of 2K broadcasting is shorter than the Ks update cycle of 4K8K, and then E
For CM and EMM, ECM requires immediate processing. Therefore, the priority is 2
When processing ECM in K broadcasting, 3 tuners are processed within 1600 ms after each update of ECM, then ECM processing in 4K8K broadcasting is performed, and then EMM processing in 2K broadcasting or 4K8K broadcasting is performed. It is appropriate to prioritize the processing. It is verified whether or not the processing using one CAS module 1811 is possible with the above processing priorities.

As the most severe case, 5 tuner parts (1st tuner part (4K8K) 1801-1,
2nd tuner part (4K8K) 1801-2, 3rd tuner part (2K) 1801-3, 4th
In the program received by the tuner unit (2K) 1801-4 and the tuner unit (2K) 1801-5), the case where the update timings of the scramble keys (Ks) match will be described as an example.

First, the ECMs of the third tuner section (2K) 1801-3, the fourth tuner section (2K) 1801-4, and the tuner section (2K) 1801-5, which are the tuner sections of 2K broadcasting, are processed from the ECM update timing T21. Start. EC of 2K broadcasting in CAS module 1811
Since the response processing time of M is set to 300 ms, the third tuner section (2K) 18 of 2K broadcasting
The response processing time of 01-3, the fourth tuner unit (2K) 1801-4, and the tuner unit (2K) 1801-5 is 900 ms.

Since the ECM response time of the 4K8K broadcast is 600 ms in this example, 1600-900 = 7 in the section up to the time T12-2 of the update timing of the scramble key (Ks) of the 2K broadcast.
4K8K ECM can be processed in 00ms. In this section, the ECM processing of the first tuner section (4K8K) is performed.

The ECM response processing of the first tuner unit 1801-1 is 300 ms × 3 + 600 ms = 1500 ms when there is no processing margin in the receiver, and 2K from the end of this response process.
Until the next ECM update timing time T22 of the broadcast, there is only 500 ms, so 4 more
It is short to process the ECM of K8K broadcasting.

Next, similarly, at the time of ECM update timing time T22 of 2K broadcasting, three tuners for 2K broadcasting (3rd tuner section (2K) 1801-3, 4th tuner section (2K) 1801-4, tuner section (2K) 1801) After performing the ECM processing of −5), the ECM processing of the 4K8K broadcasting tuner (second tuner section (4K8K) 1801-2) is performed this time.

Similarly, from the ECM update cycle T23 of the next 2K broadcast, three tuners for 2K broadcast (3rd tuner part (2K) 1801-3, 4th tuner part (2K) 1801-4, tuner part (2K)
) 1801-5) ECM processing is performed. Two 4K8K tuners (1st tuner part (4)
The ECM processing of K8K) 1801-1 and the second tuner (4K8K) 1801-2) has already been completed, and there is still room for the Ks update timing T12-4 of the 4K8K broadcast, so the 2K broadcast ECM update timing. Three 2K broadcast tuners from T13-2 (3rd tuner part (2K) 1801-3, 4th tuner part (2K) 1801-4, tuner part (2K)
) After performing the ECM processing of 1801-5), E of the third tuner part (2K) 1801-3.
Perform MM processing.

Next, at the ECM update timing T24 of 2K broadcasting, three tuners for 2K broadcasting (3rd tuner section (2K) 1801-3, 4th tuner section (2K) 1801-4, tuner section (2)
K) After the ECM processing of 1801-5), the first tuner section (4K8) which is a 4K8K tuner.
K) Perform the EMM treatment of 1801-1. At this point, the Ks update of the 2K broadcast was performed four times and 8 seconds passed, so the Ks update timing of 4K8K was changed to T12-4.

The third tuner section (2K) 18 is different from the processing flowchart of Ks update timing T11-4 of 4K8K broadcasting after Ks update timing T12-4 of 4K8K broadcasting.
Instead of the EMM treatment of 01-3, the EMM treatment of the 4th tuner part (2K) 1801-4,
1st tuner part (4K8K) Instead of EMM processing of 1801-1, 2nd tuner part (4K8K)
8K) 1801-2 EMM processing is performed.

Next, in the Ks update timing T13-4 or later of 4K8K broadcasting, the difference from the timing T12-4 or later is that the fifth tuner section (2K) 1801-5 is used instead of the EMM processing of the fourth tuner section (2K) 1801-4. EMM processing is performed. The number of 4K8K tuners installed is two in this example, and EMM processing is not required.

By controlling the order of processing as described above, the scramble key (Ks) update timing of 4K8K broadcasting is T11-4, T12-4, T13-4 and the first tuner section (4K8K) in 8 seconds × 3 = 24 seconds. 1801-1, 2nd tuner part (4K8K) 1801-2, 3rd tuner part (2K) 1801-3, 4th tuner part (2K) 1801-4, 5th tuner part (2K)
) At least one EMM of 1801-5 can be processed, and the third tuner unit (2K) is in every 1600 ms from the 2K ECM update timing to the next Ks update timing.
) 1801-3, 4th tuner part (2K) 1801-4, 5th tuner part (2K) 180
ECM processing of 1-5 is performed, and ECM processing of the first tuner section (4K8K) and the second tuner section (4K8K) is performed from the ECM update timing of 4K8K broadcasting to the scramble key (Ks) update by 7600 ms. Was possible.

As described above, even when the CAS module for 2K broadcasting and the CAS for 4K8K broadcasting are integrated and the Ks update cycle for 2K broadcasting and 4K8K broadcasting is different, the ECM update cycle and the EMM processing grace period are added. By defining the minimum number of EMMs required for processing per business entity within the EMM processing grace period, it is possible to control the processing timing without missing the ECM or EMM processing.

Further, it is assumed that the ECM update cycle is 2000 ms and the retransmission cycle is 100 ms, and the provision that "one EMM is transmitted to one ID per business entity in 30 seconds" is made.

Under this operational rule, as the performance of the CAS module (IC card), for example, the number of tuners that can be mounted when the ECM response processing time is 295 ms and the EMM response processing time is 400 ms is verified.

FIG. 20 is an implementation example of limited reception of the same receiver as in FIG.

It is assumed that the EMM processing is started at time T21. In this case, the remaining time until the time T12 excluding the EMM processing time is 1600 ms-EMM processing time 400 ms = 1200 ms.
Since it is necessary to perform ECM processing at this time, up to 4 tuners can be installed.

Since it is assumed that only one EMM is sent to each business entity, that is, one tuner in 30 seconds, the number of times the scramble key (Ks) is updated 15 times (30 seconds / 2) in 30 seconds.
It can be verified that it is possible to process the EMM processing of the four entities within the grace period of 30 seconds with the processing response time of (seconds) being too long.

In the example of FIG. 20, if the margin of receiver processing is not considered at all, it is possible to process up to 4 ECMs and 2 EMMs during the period T11 to T12 of 2000 ms in which the scramble key Ks is used. In 30 seconds, up to 30 EMMs can be processed.

However, under conditions different from the above operation, for example, among the conditions of the above example (Example 2), EMM
When it is specified that there is a possibility of transmitting 8 times in 30 seconds for one ID per business entity, which is the transmission frequency of (Example 3), a maximum of 32 can be transmitted in 30 seconds with 4 tuners (Example 3). EMMs (for 8 x 4 tuners) will be sent, and in terms of desk calculation, 2 EMMs can be processed per 2000 ms Ks update cycle, and up to 30 EMMs can be processed in 30 seconds. ,
Since a maximum of 32 EMMs may be sent, 2 EMMs cannot be processed.

Therefore, even if ECM processing is possible, it is possible to process up to 3 tuners, that is, processing 24 EMMs in 30 seconds, considering the processing capacity of EMM.

In the actual design, the EMM or ECM at the receiver is designed in consideration of the margin such as the time taken out from the multiplexed broadcast wave.

The method of defining the frequency of EMM described above is that the tuner is the CAS module mounted on the receiver.
This is an example of specifying the number of EMMs sent to the CAS module (IC card) per grace period after receiving the EMM addressed to the ID of the IC card), but the method of specifying is not limited to this, and per business entity. The frequency of sending EMM per card ID may be quantitatively defined.

For example, the frequency of sending EMM per business entity and one card ID per Ks update cycle may be used. For example, one card ID from one business entity per 2000 ms
The maximum number of EMMs to be sent to the address is two.

Furthermore, as a regulation of the transmission frequency of the EMM, a regulation based on a combination of the transmission frequency when the transmitting side sends the EMM in a burst and the grace period in which the receiving side suspends the processing to the CAS module after receiving the EMM, for example, one business EMM sent from the body to one CAS ID
There is also a regulation method such that the maximum number is 3 per 2 seconds and the maximum is 6 per 30 seconds.

The above described the EMM for sending the contract information and the work key (Kw) to the CAS module (IC card), but the EMM individual message used in the automatic display message is the purpose and the CAS module (IC card). ) May have different response performance.

Therefore, the method of specifying the frequency of EMM and EMM individual messages may be a method of specifying EMM and EMM individual messages with the same frequency, or a method of specifying EMM and EMM individual messages with different frequencies. For example, the method of prescribing "the maximum number of EMM / EMM individual messages sent to the same receiver is two in 30 seconds per business entity" is the case where the same frequency is specified. The number of "maximum 2" is not limited to this value as it is determined in consideration of the actual performance of the CAS module. Further, an example in which the frequency of EMM and EMM individual message is specified individually is shown.

"The maximum number of EMMs sent to the same receiver is 2 in 30 seconds per business entity, and the maximum number of EMM individual messages sent to the same receiver is 3 in 30 seconds per business entity.
"Or, it is possible to change the EMM and the EMM individual message depending on the width of the sending time." The maximum number of EMMs sent to the same receiver in 30 seconds is two, and the number is sent to the same receiver. The maximum number of EMM individual messages sent to is 3 per business entity in 2 seconds. ”
In this example, the EMM is set to 30 seconds, and the EMM individual message transmission frequency scramble key (K)
This is a case where it is specified together with the update cycle of s).

In this way, the frequency of EMM and / or EMM individual messages is necessary for determining the number of tuners and examining the processing margin of the control unit of the receiver in a receiver equipped with two or more tuners. On the other hand, regarding the frequency, the method of applying for subscription of the broadcaster, for example, the method of accepting by telephone and sending immediately without hanging up as described above, or the method of sending immediately without sending immediately, by telephone or online It is possible to specify according to the actual situation of operation, such as when EMM is sent within a certain period of reception (for example, within 30 minutes).

The above is an example in which the transmission frequency of EMM (including individual EMM messages) is specified in the operation regulations, but assuming that the EMM is missed by the receiver, the same EMM may be retransmitted in a short time as an actual operation. Is assumed. Therefore, in the operation regulation, there is also a method of specifying the minimum number of EMMs to be received and processed within the grace period for the CAS module after receiving the EMM. For example, "The number of receivers that have received EMM / EMM individual messages addressed to the same receiver should request processing from the CAS module is at least one in 30 seconds per business entity. 3
EMMs exceeding this in 0 seconds may be discarded. The minimum number of receivers to be processed by the receiver is specified in the EMM processing grace period, and the receiver received within the processing grace period (CAS I).
D) EMM addressed to is a method in which items exceeding the specified value may be discarded.

As explained so far, the receiver is addressed to itself (C inserted in the receiver).
After receiving the EMM or EMM individual message (to the card ID of the AS module), CAS
How many EMMs in the grace period until the module (IC card) is requested to process
It is easy to understand that it is stipulated whether it is necessary to process, but not limited to this, the frequency of sending EMM or EMM individual message to yourself per unit time per unit time, or the receiver The number of EMMs required for processing may be specified.

In addition, the demand for receivers equipped with multi-channel tuners and 2K, 4
In view of the demand for receivers equipped with K and 8K integrally, in order to specify the transmission frequency of EMM and EMM individual messages consistent with past assumptions in order to enable strict receiver design, the opposite of the above. It becomes possible by going through the examination process.

For example, in the implementation example of the limited reception of the receiver shown in FIG. 20, if it is implicitly understood that four tuners can be installed, the receiver is addressed to itself (CAS inserted in the receiver). After receiving the EMM (to the card ID of the module), up to 24 EMM processes can be processed for the CAS module (IC card) within the grace period of 30 seconds, and from 24/4 = 6, By stipulating that "a maximum of 6 EMMs can be sent per 30 seconds (a grace period for EMM processing) for one CAS ID per business entity", without overturning the implicit matters before that. It can be specified. Of course, the number of 6 or less may be any number as long as it is an integer of 6 or less.

This number 6 is a tentative calculation of the performance of the CAS module, and is the actual CAS.
It goes without saying that the results can vary depending on the performance of the module. As a transmission / reception system
EM in consideration of the actual condition of CAS module performance, ECM update cycle, and EMM processing grace period
The frequency of sending M or the minimum number of EMMs to be processed within the EMM processing grace period is determined.

Further, this embodiment is mainly defined in Non-Patent Document 5, which is a broadband satellite broadcasting specified in Non-Patent Document 4, a terrestrial digital television broadcasting specified in Non-Patent Document 3, and an advanced broadband satellite broadcasting, so-called 4K8K broadcasting. In addition to the ECM update cycle and retransmission cycle, the number of EMMs sent within the grace period after receiving the EMMs addressed to the CAS ID mounted on one receiver addressed to the CAS ID per business entity. Alternatively, the exact same effect can be obtained by specifying the minimum number of EMMs to be processed within the EMM processing grace period. Needless to say, the package shape of the CAS module is not limited to the IC card, and the shape of the IC chip does not change at all.

FIG. 21A shows the first tuner (4K8K) 1801-1 in the receiver shown in FIG.
, 2nd tuner (4K8K) 1801-2, 3rd tuner (2K) 1801-3, 4th tuner (2K) 1801-4, 5th tuner (2K) 1801-5 received ECM, EMM from the time chart An example is shown. The receiver 1800 is E at the time indicated by the arrow.
The receiver is receiving CM and EMM. EM from the 2nd tuner (4K8K) 1801-2
After receiving M2121, the first tuner (4K8K) 1801-1 to ECM2110, the second tuner (4K8K) 1801-2 to ECM2120, and the first tuner (4K8K)

) EMM2131 from 1801-3, ECM2 from the 5th tuner (2K) 1801-5
It shows that 150 is received in order. The horizontal axis is the time axis.

21B shows the ECM / EMM shown in FIG. 21A by the integrated CAS module of FIG.
It shows the temporal transition of processing ECM and EMM. The horizontal axis is the time axis.

The response processing time of the ECM and EMM of the integrated CAS module 1811 shown in FIG. 18, for example, is 300 ms for the ECM response processing time for 2K broadcasting, 600 ms for the ECM response processing time for 4K8K broadcasting, and 2K broadcasting and 4K8K broadcasting for EMM. The temporal transition of ECM and EMM processing is shown for the case where both are 650 ms.

For example, 2160 represents the time that the CAS module is processing EMM2121. 2161 represents the time the CAS module is processing the ECM2110. 2162 represents the time that the CAS module is processing the ECM2120.
2163 represents the time that the CAS module is processing the EMM2111. Further, in FIG. 2102-1, the CAS modules are EMM2121, ECM2110, ECM2.
It shows that processing is performed in the order of 120 and EMM2111.

In FIGS. 2102-1, 2102-2, and 2102-3, the control unit 1806 is EMM212.
When 1 is received, it is confirmed that there is no other high-priority buffer, and the control unit 1806 is integrated C.
2110, 2120, 2111, 2110 immediately after starting processing to AS module 1811
It is a figure which considered the processing of the CAS module when it received in the order of 130, 2140, 2131, and 2150. Further, since the processing of the integrated CAS module 1881 cannot be performed in parallel, other processing cannot be performed during the processing time of 2160, which is the processing of 2121, for example. In this discussion, 2102-1 and 21 are used to consider the worst conditions.
In 02-2 and 2102-3, it is an example in which the processing of 2160, which is the processing of 2121, is performed first.

Reference numeral 2102-1 represents the processing order when the receiver processes the ECM and EMM for the timing reception. In this example, the ECM2130, which must be originally processed within 1600 ms, which is the time from the reception timing of the ECM to the timing of receiving the broadcast signal descrambled using the scramble key (Ks) included in the ECM. , ECM2140, ECM2150 indicates that the processing has not been completed.

Therefore, "4.1 (8)" described in Non-Patent Document 4
-Regarding the EMM reception command and EMM individual message reception command, issue a command to the IC card from the receiver within 30 seconds after receiving the EMM and EMM individual message addressed to its own card. (There is a related description in A-10 of this volume.) "
2102-2 is an example in which the ECM processing is prioritized according to the above and the EMM processing and the EMM individual message processing are delayed. As in this example, by raising the priority of the ECM processing, the 2K ECM processing is completed within 2000 ms, which is the update cycle of the 2K ECM. However, the total processing time of EMM2121 to ECM2150 is the processing time of EMM2121 (650 ms) + the processing time of ECM2110 (600 ms).
＋
ECM2120 processing time (600ms) + ECM2130 processing time (300ms)
＋
ECM2140 processing time (300ms) + ECM2150 processing time (300ms)
= 2750ms
Therefore, the processing of the ECM2150 received by the receiver at the end of the 2K ECMs in order is not completed within 2000 ms.

Therefore, in order to create the shared receiver described in TR-B39 Vol. 5, Appendix 7 “Common Receivers for Current Broadcasting and Advanced BS Digital Broadcasting”, it is necessary to further devise the processing order of ECM and EMM. It becomes.

FIG. 2102-3 shows the order of processing when the ECM processing of 2K broadcasting is given the highest priority.

By giving the highest priority to the ECM processing of 2K broadcasting, the processing time of the ECM of 2K broadcasting is as follows.
EMM2121 (650ms) + ECM2130 (300ms) + ECM2140 (30)
0ms) + ECM2150 (300ms) = 1550ms
Therefore, the processing of the ECM2150 received by the receiver last in order among the 2K ECMs is completed within 2000 ms.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart in which the receiver requests the CAS module to process the ECM and the EMM in order to give the highest priority to the processing of the ECM of the 2K broadcast described with reference to FIG.

First, a buffer for performing ECM and EMM processing will be described. When the control unit 1806 shown in FIG. 18 receives the ECM or EMM from the MMT multiplex separation unit 1803-1 or the TS decoding unit 1803-2, the control unit 1806 requests the CAS module 1811 to process the ECM and EMM, so that the processing request transmission process is performed. Is started (S2200).

The control unit 1806 temporarily transmits the ECM and EMM sent from the MMT multiplex separation unit 1803-1 or the TS decoding unit 1803-2 to the CAS module 1811 in order to control the order of the processing requests of the ECM and EMM. Manages the ECM receive buffer to be saved and the EMM receive buffer. Each buffer is prepared as many as the number of tuners, and the ECM receive buffer is 1.
The stage buffer and the EMM reception buffer have a plurality of stages of buffers.

The ECM reception buffer is a buffer for temporarily storing the ECM included in the 2K broadcast, 4K broadcast, and 8K broadcast. The buffer prepared for the tuner for 2K distinguishes from the ECM receive buffer for 2K, and the buffer prepared for the tuner for 4K8K distinguishes from the ECM buffer for 4K8K so as to distinguish between 2K and 4K8K. EMM receive buffer is 2K
Broadcast, 4K broadcast This is a buffer for temporarily storing the EMM contained in the 8K broadcast. The data in each buffer is deleted when a response to the processing request from the control unit 1806 to the CAS module 1811 is returned.

The flowchart for giving the highest priority to the ECM processing of the 2K broadcast described with reference to FIG. 22 will be described. The control unit 1806 confirms the inside of the first ECM reception buffer for 2K broadcasting (S2).
201).

As a result of the confirmation, when there is data waiting for request transmission in the CAS card module 1811 in the ECM reception buffer for 2K broadcasting (Yes in S2202), the control unit 1806 issues a processing request command to the CAS module 1811, and the command is issued to the CAS module 1811. Wait for a response (S2208).

As a result of the confirmation, when there is no data waiting for request transmission in the CAS card module 1811 in the ECM reception buffer for 2K broadcasting (No of S2202), the control unit 1806 then performs 4K8.
Check the contents of the ECM reception buffer for K broadcasting (S2203).

As a result of confirmation, the CAS card module 181 is in the ECM reception buffer for 4K8K broadcasting.
When there is data waiting for request transmission in 1 (Yes in S2204), the control unit 1806 sets the CA.
Issue a processing request command to the S module and wait for the response (S2208).

As a result of confirmation, the CAS card module 181 is in the ECM reception buffer for 4K8K broadcasting.
If there is no data waiting for request transmission in 1 (No in S2204), the control unit 1806 then E
Check the contents of the MM reception buffer (S2205).

As a result of the confirmation, when there is data waiting for request transmission in the CAS card module 1811 in the EMM reception buffer (Yes in S2206), the control unit 1806 issues a processing request command to the CAS module and waits for the response (Yes). S2208). The control unit 1806
The data having the oldest reception time in the EMM buffer is extracted, and a processing request command is issued to the CAS module 1811.

As a result of the confirmation, when there is no data waiting for request transmission in the CAS card module 1811 in the EMM reception buffer (No in S2206), the control unit 1806 ends the processing request transmission process (S2207).

The control unit 1806 that received the response from the CAS module 1811 in S2208 is again S.
Returning to the processing of 2201 and continuing to check whether there is data waiting for a processing request in the 2K broadcasting ECM receiving buffer, the 4K8K broadcasting ECM receiving buffer, and the EMM buffer.

Note that FIG. 22 shows the processing priority only for the processing of ECM / EMM of the present invention. For other commands between the control unit 1805 and the CAS module 1811,
It is omitted.

Next, "At least one EMM must be processed for the CAS module within 30 seconds after receiving the EMM for which the card ID addressed to oneself is set per business entity. More EMMs are used. An example is shown in the case where processing is performed in accordance with the provision of "If it is received, it may be ignored or discarded."

Non-Patent Document 4 describes the EMM processing grace period of the receiver.
-Regarding the EMM reception command and EMM individual message reception command, issue a command to the IC card from the receiver within 30 seconds after receiving the EMM and EMM individual message addressed to its own card. (There is a related description in A-10 of this volume.)
There is a description.

Similarly, Non-Patent Document 5 describes the grace period for EMM processing of the receiver.
-For the EMM reception command and EMM individual message reception command, issue the command from the receiver to the CAS module within 30 seconds after receiving the EMM and EMM individual message addressed to its own card. (There is a related description in Appendix 4.)
There is a description of.

According to this embodiment, for example, "EMM / EMM individual message addressed to the same receiver C.
The minimum number of AS modules to be processed is one in 30 seconds per business entity. 3
EMMs exceeding this in 0 seconds may be discarded. ”
Is to be added.

The EMM reception buffer and the processing flowchart thereof when this provision is added will be described.

In order to realize the process that the EMM that exceeds 30 seconds may be discarded, the control unit 1806 shown in FIG. 18 needs to know the reception time when the EMM is received. Therefore, the control unit 1806
The internal EMM reception buffer needs to have a storage area for storing the time when the EMM is received.

FIG. 23 is an example of an EMM reception buffer having a storage area for storing the time when the EMM is received. (A) is an example of a receive buffer having no storage area for storing the received time. (B) is an example of a receive buffer having a storage area 3201 for the received time.

FIG. 24 shows, "The number of EMM / EMM individual messages addressed to the same receiver to be processed for the CAS module is at least one in 30 seconds per business unit. EMMs exceeding this number are discarded in 30 seconds." It is a processing flowchart of a receiver when the regulation is added.

FIG. 18 will be described as an example. The control unit 1806 is an MMT multiplex separation unit 1803-1 or T.
When EMM is received from the S decoding unit 1803-1, the EMM is sent to the CAS module 1811.
In order to request the processing of, the processing request transmission processing is started (S2400).

The control unit 1806 provides the CAS module 1811 with an EMM buffer that temporarily stores the EMM sent from the MMT multiplex separation unit 1803-1 or the TS decoding unit 1803-1 in order to control the order of the EMM processing requests. to manage.

The control unit 1806 confirms the inside of the EMM reception buffer (S2401).

As a result of the confirmation, when there is data waiting for request transmission in the CAS card module 1811 in the EMM reception buffer (Yes of S2402), the control unit 1806 confirms the elapsed time from the reception time of the data (S2404).

As a result of confirmation, if the elapsed time exceeds 30 seconds (Yes in S2404), the corresponding EM
Clear the data of M (S2405). The control unit 1806 cleared the data (S2).
405) After that, the process returns to S2401 again to continue the process.

As a result of confirmation, when the elapsed time does not exceed 30 seconds (No in S2404), the control unit 180
No. 6 issues a processing request command to the CAS module and waits for the response (S2406).
.. When the control unit 1806 receives the response from the CAS module 1811, the control unit 1806 ends the process in order to confirm the priority with the ECM.

As a result of checking the contents of the EMM reception buffer (S2401), the control unit 1806 ends the process when there is no data waiting for request transmission in the CAS card module 1811 (No of S2402) in the EMM reception buffer (S2403). ).

Since the EMM processing has low immediacy, the start of the processing in FIG. 24 is, for example, the control unit 180.
6 may be polling or the like to control the start of processing.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the EMM reception buffer shown in FIG. 23 is provided and the EMM processing request is controlled by the processing flowchart as shown in FIG. 24, for example, the EMM buffer managed for each business entity and waiting for processing. It is also conceivable that the reception time is determined, and if the EMM received within 30 seconds already exists in the EMM buffer, the EMM received later is discarded.

FIG. 25 shows the processing flowchart shown in FIG. 24, “EM managed for each business entity and waiting for processing.
When the reception time of the M buffer is determined and the EMM received within 30 seconds already exists in the EMM buffer, the EMM received later is discarded. It is a processing flowchart.

Similarly, FIG. 18 will be described as an example. When the control unit 1806 receives the EMM from the MMT multiplexing unit 1803-1 or the TS decoding unit 1803-1, the control unit 1806 starts the EMM reception process for storing the received EMM in the EMM reception buffer (S2500).

Here, it is assumed that the EMM reception buffer has an area for storing only one EMM data for each business entity.

The control unit 1806 refers to the business entity of the received EMM data, and confirms whether the data is stored in the storage area of the same business entity in the EMM buffer (S2501).

As a result of the confirmation, when the data of the same business entity is stored (Yes in S2501), the control unit 1806 confirms whether 30 seconds have passed from the reception time of the stored data (Yes).
S2502).

If the result of the confirmation is within 30 seconds (Yes of S2502), the control unit 1806 receives the EM.
The M data is discarded (2506), and the process is terminated (S2506).

If the result of the confirmation is not within 30 seconds (No in S2502), the buffer of the same entity is cleared (S2503), the received EMM is saved in the buffer (S2504), and the process is terminated (S2505).

As a result of the confirmation, when the data of the same business entity is not stored (No of S2501), the control unit 1806 saves the received EMM in the buffer (S2504) and ends the process (S2504).
S2505).

As described above, in order to examine how many tuners a receiver can be designed with one CAS module (IC card), the ECM update cycle, ECM retransmission cycle, and mounted C
In addition to the response performance of the AS module (IC card), one ID per EMM entity
By specifying the frequency of transmission per unit or the minimum number of EMMs to be processed within the EMM processing grace period on the transmission / reception system, ECM and necessary EMM processing are not missed, and processing is performed strictly by one CAS module. It is possible to examine the number of tuners that can be installed.

In TR-B39 Vol. 5, "4.9.3.1 EMM Section and EMM Individual Message Section Transmission Frequency", "EMM / EMM addressed to the same receiver to reduce the processing load on the receiver"
EMM or EM sent to the same receiver, taking care not to send individual messages in a concentrated manner
M The maximum number of individual messages is 8 per 8 seconds. ] Is stipulated. This regulation is not applicable to all 8K, 4K, and 2K tuners installed in the EMM addressed to the CAS module ID of the receiver at the same time during the EMM processing grace period (example: 30 seconds). , EMM received 8 times in 8 seconds other than ECM processing may be possible in the EMM processing grace period (example: 30 seconds) after receiving EMM, but it depends on the EMM transmission timing with the on-board tuner 4K (or 8K). ) Even if the tuner can receive 8 EMMs in 8 seconds, it may not be processed in 30 seconds after reception. Originally, E without missing in the receiver
Eight EMMs should be sent every 30 seconds for MM processing, but if the broadcaster allows, eight EMMs received in 8 seconds have passed the EMM processing grace period (30 seconds). EMM processing is performed at least once every 30 seconds, and one cached eight EMMs are processed in the EMM grace period (eg 30 seconds), and the grace period x 8 (eg 240) at the latest.
Since the purpose of the present invention can be achieved even if processing is allowed within seconds), there is no problem in the purpose and effect of the present proposal to be specified as an exception case. It is important to determine the rules that allow transmission and reception, taking into account the performance of the CAS module so that the receiver can perform EMM processing without missing it.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the first control information (EMM) including at least the encrypted first key (Kw) and the second control information (ECM) including the encrypted second key (Ks).

A receiving device is provided that suppresses command transmission to the card unit.

As can be understood from the above description, the above-described embodiment has a function as a receiver and

Further, various effects can be obtained as described below depending on the configuration of the receiver described above. That is,
(B1)
Receives at least the first control information (EMM) including the encrypted first key (Kw), the second control information (ECM) including the encrypted second key (Ks), and the service signal including the scrambled content. The first control information (EMM) controlled by the tuner unit, the descrambler that receives the scrambled content output from the tuner unit, at least the tuner unit, the control unit that controls the descrambler unit, and the control unit. ) From

A CAS module that acquires the second key (Ks) to be given to the descrambler by using the acquired first key (Kw) from the CM).
The control unit
CA after receiving the EMM specified in the regulations for the first control information (EMM) per business entity
It is set that the minimum number of R (integer of 1 or more) should be processed within the processing grace period for the S module, and after the first control information (EMM) of the one entity is detected, After performing R processing within the grace period of EMM processing, the first control information (E) following the one entity
When MM) is detected, a receiving device that suppresses command transmission to the card unit for the first control information (EMM) at least within the grace period.

According to the configuration of (B1) above, even if it is exactly one CAS module, it is possible to watch a contract program without missing the ECM and EMM processing required for descramble. Alternatively, a transmitter or transmitter / receiver) can be provided.
(B2)
In the receiver, the control unit receives the first control information (EMM) depending on whether the tuner unit receives terrestrial digital television broadcasting or BS digital broadcasting / wideband CS digital broadcasting. ) Is sent on the assumption that the frequency is the same.
Alternatively, on the premise that the number of processing obligations of the first control information (EMM) is the same, the frequency or the information for determining the number is shared, and the first control information (EMM) is processed. To do.

According to the configuration of (B2) above, there is an advantage that the number of EMM frequencies (processing obligations) of TR-B14 and TR-B15 is the same. In other words, TR-B14 and TR-B15 are standard specifications for 2K TV with a 3-wave shared machine of terrestrial digital broadcasting, BS, and 110CS, and are per business entity regardless of broadcasting media (terrestrial digital broadcasting, BS, 110CS). If the EMM processing frequency regulation is the same, the mounting conditions will not be complicated in CAS processing. Under the same conditions, TR-B14 and B15 will be the same B-CAS if verification is easy at the receiver development stage and the number of transmissions is specified.
This is a method, and EMM transmission equipment can be standardized.
(B3)
In the control unit, depending on whether the tuner unit is receiving terrestrial digital television broadcasting or advanced broadband satellite digital broadcasting,
On the premise that the frequency of sending the first control information (EMM) is different within the grace period (for example, 30 seconds), or the number of processing obligations of the first control information (EMM) is different. As a premise, the first control information (EMM) is processed with different information for determining the frequency and the number.

According to the configuration of (B3) above, TR-B14 is terrestrial digital and allows pay broadcasting according to the operation regulations, but it is practically only free broadcasting, and the possibility of EMM operation is extremely low. There is a high possibility that more ECM processing will be possible with an EMM different from the TR-B39, which requires pay broadcasting, and by setting the frequency of the TR-B14 low, the number of terrestrial digital tuners installed Is likely to increase.
(B4)
In the control unit, the tuner unit receives BS digital broadcasting / wideband CS digital broadcasting and advanced broadband satellite digital broadcasting.
On the premise that the frequency of sending the first control information (EMM) is different within the grace period (for example, 30 seconds), or the number of processing obligations of the first control information (EMM) is different. As a premise, the first control information (EMM) is processed with different information for determining the frequency or the number.

According to the configuration of (B4) above, the EMM in the TR-B39 compliant CAS module,
Even if the command response performance of the ECM is different from the command response performance of the IC card based on TR-B14,15, other EMM frequencies can be set according to the performance of the CAS module compliant with TR-B39. With TR-B39, communication Since EMM acquisition is possible even via the road, E for broadcast waves only
The frequency can be set differently from TR-B14 and TR-B15, which can only transmit MM (TR-B3).
(Reduce the number of 9), TR-B39 is intended for later digital broadcasting compared to 2K broadcasting such as TR-B14 and TR-B15, so to improve the service to new 4K8K pay broadcasting subscribers. By increasing the number of EMMs transmitted for a certain period of time and receiving EMMs as soon as possible even if the EMMs are missed by the receiver, it is possible to shorten the time from application for subscription to unlocking (EMM reception). Further, in TR-B39, it is possible to set the priority by the EMM acquisition via the communication path and the EMM acquisition by the broadcast wave, for example, in order to immediately unlock for paid viewing via the communication path. EMM via communication next to ECM
Needless to say, raising the priority of processing is also effective in terms of user convenience.
(B5)
In the control unit, the tuner unit may receive terrestrial digital television broadcasting, BS digital broadcasting / wideband CS digital broadcasting, or advanced broadband satellite digital broadcasting. , The frequency of sending the first control information (EMM) is the same, or the number of processing obligations of the first control information (EMM) is the same. The first control information (EMM) is processed by sharing the information of the frequency or the determination of the number.

According to the configuration of (B5) above, the processing at the receiver is simplified. The same EMM processing timing is possible regardless of the reception network (terrestrial digital, 2KBS, 2KCS, 4K8KBS, 4K110CS).
(B6)
In the control unit, there are cases where the tuner unit receives BS digital broadcasting / wideband CS digital broadcasting and a first case where the tuner unit receives advanced broadband satellite digital broadcasting.
Assuming that the frequency at which the first control information (EMM) is sent is the same,
Alternatively, on the premise that the number of processing obligations of the first control information (EMM) is the same, the frequency or the determination information of the number is shared, and the first control information (EMM) is processed.
In the second case where the tuner unit receives the terrestrial digital television broadcast, the first control information (the first control information (the information for determining the frequency or the number) is different from that in the first case. EMM) is processed.

According to the configuration of (B6) above, the frequency with which EMM is sent differs from that of TR-B14.
B15 and B39 have the same frequency. TR-B15 and TR-B39, which include pay-TV, and terrestrial digital broadcasting (divided by TR-B14), which has virtually no pay-TV, have the same advantages as (B3) above. Further, by setting the frequency of TR-B14 to be low, there is a high possibility that the number of terrestrial digital tuners mounted can be increased.
(B7)
The tuner unit receives the first control information (EMM) corresponding to the one business entity and an EMM individual message transmitted for each receiver and indicating a pointer of an automatic display message.
Receive EMM individual message,
The control unit processes the first control information (EMM) corresponding to the one business entity and the EMM individual message separately.

(B8) <Structure in which the number of EMM frequency (processing obligation) of EMM and EMM individual message is different>
The tuner unit receives the first control information (EMM) corresponding to the one business entity and an EMM individual message transmitted for each receiver and indicating a pointer of an automatically displayed message, and the control unit receives the one business entity. To determine the frequency of the first control information (EMM) and the frequency of the EMM individual message on the premise that the frequencies of the first control information (EMM) and the EMM individual message corresponding to the above are different from each other. The first control information (EMM) and the EMM individual message are processed by making the information of the above different.

According to the configurations of (B7) and (B8) above, the number of EMM frequencies (processing obligations) of EMM and EMM individual messages is different. As a result, it is fully assumed that the CAS module response performances of the EMM and the EMM individual message are different, the response time is short, the size of the EMM individual message is predicted to be smaller than that of the EMM, and the response performance is assumed to be short. Therefore,
It is possible to specify that the frequency should be higher than that of EMM. In addition, compared to EMM, the EMM individual message is an individual part (for example, the name of the subscriber) for each ID of the EMM mail or the automatically displayed message, and it is considered that the actual usage frequency is low, and the contract is being called. Since it is difficult to require immediacy such as confirmation, reduce the frequency of EMM, that is, by setting the number in a span longer than the EMM processing grace period, or by reducing the number even in the same processing grace period, EM
It is expected that the time spent on M and ECM processing will increase as an advantage.
(B9)
The frequency of the first control information (EMM) is set according to the processing grace period of the first control information (EMM).

According to the configuration of (B9) above, the EMM frequency is determined by the EMM processing grace period, thereby
In terms of processing the number of EMMs required at any time within the grace period, it can be said to be a useful setting means for the purpose of setting the grace period. Even when considering the flow of the receiver, the degree of freedom increases if it is decided during this period.
(B10)
The frequency of the first control information (EMM) is set based on the update cycle of the second key (Ks) of the first control information (EMM).

According to the configuration of (B10) above, the EMM frequency is determined by the Ks update cycle. The EMM processing grace period is currently 30 seconds, and the Ks update cycle is shorter. In the receiver, EM
In examining the filtering performance of M, it is meaningful to specify the number of EMMs in a short time in terms of how much EMMs addressed to oneself may come in a short time. However, there are cases where the business operator issues a plurality of EMMs in a short time. Issuing multiple EMMs in a short time is effective when the receiver makes a mistake in acquiring the EMM, or when you want to acquire the EMM as soon as possible and want to send the same EMM in a short time. However, if only the EMM transmission rate is used, the EMM cache area will increase as long as the processing grace period (30 seconds) setting remains, so the number is used to estimate the EMM temporary cache area instead of the transmission rate. The provisions of are valid.
(B11)
<EMM frequency is determined by Ks update cycle>
The frequency of the first control information (EMM) is set based on the processing grace period of the first control information (EMM) and the update cycle of the second key (Ks) of the first control information (EMM). Has been,
According to the configuration of (B11) above, in the configuration of (B11), the EMM frequency is determined by the Ks update cycle. If you want to receive one in 30 seconds, but you want to receive it as soon as possible, for example, "The receiver needs at least one process per entity in 30 seconds. However, the EMM is sent. If it is stipulated that "EMMs are sent at a rate of 2 in 2 seconds, but after receiving the EMMs, the EMMs acquired in the following 30 seconds do not have to be discarded or received", 1 piece in the processing grace period of 30 seconds. EMM and E of other tuners for the rest of the time
By sending a large amount of EMM for a certain period of time, which can be used for CM processing, EMM reception becomes possible faster, the viewer can confirm the contract in a shorter time, and the receiver side also has a temporary amount of EMM cache. Can also be estimated.
