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

MPEG2-TS is characterized in that components such as video and audio that make up a program are multiplexed into one stream together with a control signal and a clock. Since it is treated as one stream including the clock, it is suitable for transmitting one content on one transmission line in which transmission quality is ensured, and has been adopted in many conventional digital broadcasting systems. On the other hand, MPEG2-TS functions in response to changes in the environment related to content distribution, such as the diversification of content in recent years, the diversification of devices that use content, the diversification of transmission lines that distribute content, and the diversification of content storage environments. MMT is a newly formulated media transport system because of its limitations.

FIG. 2A shows an example of an outline of the coded signal in the MMT of this embodiment. As shown in the figure, the MMT of this embodiment has an MFU (Media Fragment Unit), an MPU (Media Processing Unit), an MMTP (MMT Protocol) payload, and an MMTP packet as elements constituting the coded signal. And.

The MFU is a format at the time of transmission of video, audio, etc., and may be configured in units of NAL (Network Operation Layer) units or access units. It is assumed that the MPU includes one or more access units and can perform video and audio decoding processing by the MPU alone. The MPU may be composed of MPU metadata including information on the configuration of the entire MPU, movie fragment metadata including information on encoded media data, and sample data which is encoded media data. A plurality of movie fragment data and sample data may exist in one MPU. Further, it is assumed that the MFU can be extracted from the sample data. FIG. 2B shows an example of the configuration of the MPU. By adding a sequence number to each MPU belonging to the same asset, any MPU can be distinguished from other MPUs by the asset ID that identifies the asset and the sequence number of the MPU. Further, in the case of media such as a video component and an audio component, the presentation time and the decoding time may be specified for each MPU or access unit.

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

In the broadcasting system of this embodiment, MPEG-H HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) is used as the video coding method, and MPEG-4 AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) or MPEG-4 ALS (Audio Lossless) is used as the audio coding method. Coding) shall be used. Encoded data such as video and audio of a broadcast program encoded by each of the above methods is in the form of MFU or MPU, further put on an MMTP payload, converted into an MMTP packet, and transmitted as an IP (Internet Protocol) packet. And. Further, the data content related to the broadcast program may also be in the format of MFU or MPU, further mounted on the MMTP payload to form an MMTP packet, and transmitted as an IP packet. Data content transmission methods include (1) subtitle / character super transmission method used for streaming data synchronized with broadcasting, (2) application transmission method used for data transmission service asynchronous with broadcasting, and (3) from broadcasting stations. Four types are prepared: an event message transmission method used for synchronous / asynchronous message notification to an application running on a TV receiver, and (4) a general-purpose data transmission method for transmitting other general-purpose data synchronously / asynchronously. It shall be.

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

In the broadcasting system of this embodiment, it is assumed that a mechanism for transmitting two types of control information, MMT-SI (MMT-Signaling Information) and TLV-SI (TLV-Signaling Information), is prepared. MMT-SI is control information indicating the structure of a broadcast program and the like. It shall be in the form of an MMT control message, put on an MMTP payload, converted into an MMTP packet, and transmitted as an IP packet. The TLV-SI is control information related to IP packet multiplexing, and provides information for channel selection and correspondence information between an IP address and a service.

Further, even in a broadcasting system using MMT, time information is transmitted in order to provide an absolute time. In addition, while MPEG2-TS shows the display time of the component based on a different clock for each TS, MMT shows the display time of the component based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). To do. With these mechanisms, the terminal device can synchronously display the components transmitted from different transmission points on different transmission lines. In order to provide UTC, it is assumed that an IP packet in NTP (Network Time Protocol) format is used.

In the MMT method, a component is defined as an asset, and in the following, the component may be referred to as an asset.

In the broadcasting system supported by the broadcasting receiving device 100 of the present embodiment, data transmission can be performed by a plurality of routes such as a TLV stream via a broadcasting transmission line and an IP data flow via a communication line. The TLV stream includes a TLV-SI such as TLV-NIT and AMT, and an IP data flow which is a data flow of an IP packet. The IP data flow includes a video asset including a series of video MPUs and an audio asset including a series of audio MPUs. Similarly, the IP data flow may include a subtitle asset including a series of subtitle MPUs, a character super asset including a series of character super MPUs, a data asset including a series of data MPUs, and the like.

Etc.). Further, the information regarding the decoding time is also described by the MPU extended time stamp descriptor in the same manner, but detailed description thereof will be omitted. The presentation control of various data using the clock based on the NTP will be described later.

In the broadcasting system of this embodiment, the series of data in units of the "package" corresponds to the "service" of digital broadcasting. Further, the "service" is a series of "programs" transmitted according to a schedule. The "program" is treated as an "event" in the MMT system. The start time and duration of each event are specified by MH-EIT. Further, the event package descriptor arranged in MH-EIT specifies the ID of the MMT package corresponding to each event. FIG. 7E shows an example of the data structure of MH-EIT. The "start_time" parameter in the figure specifies the start time, and the "duration" parameter specifies the duration. FIG. 7F shows an example of the data structure of the event package descriptor. The correspondence between each event and the MMT package can be specified by the "MMT_package_id_byte" parameter of the event package descriptor placed in the MH-EIT. The MH-EIT performs various processes (for example, electronic program guide generation process, recording reservation and viewing reservation control, temporary storage, and other copyright management processes) in the "event" unit in the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment. ) Etc.

[Time management of broadcast receiver]
The broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment has two types of time management functions. The first time management function is a time management function based on NTP, and the second time management function is a time management function based on MH-TOT. Hereinafter, the two types of time management functions will be described.

<Time management function based on NTP>
First, the time management function based on NTP will be described.

FIG. 12A is an example of a system configuration for clock synchronization / presentation synchronization in the broadcasting system supported by the broadcasting receiving device 100 of this embodiment. In the broadcasting system of this embodiment, the UTC is transmitted from the broadcasting transmitting system to a receiver (such as the broadcasting receiving device 100 of this embodiment) in a 64-bit length NTP time stamp format. In the NTP time stamp format, "more than a second" of UTC is represented by 32 bits, and "less than a second" is represented by 32 bits. However, in reality, it is difficult to reproduce one second with 32-bit accuracy. Therefore, the system clock for synchronizing the video system and the system clock for operating the NTP format clock are, for example, "2 to the 24th power" Hz (about 16.8 MHz) as shown in the figure. The frequency of may be used. Considering that the system clock in the conventional broadcasting system was 27 MHz and that the hardware configuration of the receiver can be easily constructed, 2 of about "2 to the 24th power" to "2 to the 28th power". It is desirable to use the power frequency as the system clock.

When the system clock is set to a power frequency of 2 such as "2 to the 24th power" to "2 to the 28th power" as described above on the broadcast transmission system side or the receiver side, it is received from the broadcast transmission system side. In the NTP time stamp format transmitted to the machine side, the lower 8 to 4 bits that are not referred to by the PLL (Phase Locked Loop) system for reproducing the system clock or the NTP format clock are "0" or "1". It may be fixed to. That is, if the system clock is "2 to the nth power" Hz (n = 24 in the example of FIG. 12A, the same applies hereinafter), the lower "32-n" bit in the NTP time stamp format is changed to "0" or "1". It may be fixed. Alternatively, the receiver may perform processing so as to ignore the lower "32-n" bits of the NTP time stamp format.

On the broadcast transmission system side, when the time information in NTP format is obtained from the outside, a PLL system is configured with a 32 + n-bit counter by a VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) of "2 to the nth power" Hz, and the time information given from the outside is used. Realize a synchronous sending system clock. In addition, the entire signal processing system is operated in synchronization with the system clock of "2 to the nth power" Hz. Further, the output of the transmission system clock is periodically transmitted to the receiver side via the broadcast transmission line as NTP length format time information. As for the time information in the NTP length format to be transmitted to the receiver side, the lower "32-n" bit among the 32 bits representing "less than a second" may be fixed to "0" or "1". That is, the system clock counter on the broadcast transmission system side is composed of 32 + n bits.

The receiver side receives the time information in the NTP length format via the broadcast transmission line, and reproduces the reception system clock by the PLL system based on the VCO of "2 to the nth power" Hz as in the broadcast transmission system side. As a result, the receiving system clock becomes a clock synchronized with the broadcasting transmitting system side. In addition, by operating the signal processing system of the receiver in synchronization with the system clock of "2 to the nth power" Hz, clock synchronization between the broadcast transmission system side and the receiver side is realized, and stable signal reproduction is possible. Become.

Further, the decoding time and the presentation time for each presentation unit of the video / audio signal are set on the broadcast transmission system side based on the time information in the NTP format. The decoding time is specified by an MPU extended time stamp descriptor (not shown) stored in the MPT. Further, the presentation time is specified by the MPU time stamp descriptor (see FIG. 7D) stored in the MPT. The "mpu_sequence_number (MPU sequence number)" parameter in the MPU time stamp descriptor indicates the sequence number of the MPU that describes the time stamp, and the "mpu_presentation_time (MPU presentation time)" parameter indicates the MPU presentation time as a 64-bit NTP time stamp. Shown in format. That is, the receiver can control the presentation (display, output, etc.) timing of each MPU such as video / audio signals, subtitles, and character superimpose by referring to the MPU time stamp descriptor stored in the MPT. Become.

When focusing on the decoding timing and the control of the presentation timing for each presentation unit of the above-mentioned video / audio signal, the video / audio signal is synchronized even with a clock of about "2 to the 16th power" Hz (about 65.5 KHz). Can be secured, and in this case, the lower 16 bits of the NTP time stamp format described in the MPU time stamp descriptor or the like need not be referred to. That is, when a "2 mth" Hz clock generated by dividing the system clock or the like is used to control the decoding timing and the presentation timing, it is lower than the NTP time stamp format described in the MPU time stamp descriptor or the like. The "32-m" bit does not have to be referenced. Therefore, the lower "32-m" bit of the NTP time stamp format described in the MPU time stamp descriptor or the like may be fixed to "0" or "1".

<Time management function based on MH-TOT>
FIG. 12B shows an example of the configuration of time information transmitted in the NTP format in the NTP-based time management function described above. The "reference_time stamp" parameter, "transmit_time stamp" parameter, etc. in the NTP format are time data in the NTP length format of 64 bits in length, and the "mpu_presentation_time" parameter in the MPU time stamp descriptor shown in FIG. 7D is also 64 bits in length. This is the time data in the NTP time stamp format. The time data in the NTP length format and the time data in the NTP time stamp format are data in which "more than a second" of UTC is represented by 32 bits and "less than a second" is represented by 32 bits. That is, the time information in the NTP format can transmit the time information up to "less than a second". Furthermore, since the time information in the NTP format is expressed in UTC, unlike the time management in the conventional digital broadcasting, as shown in FIG. 3, the time information is distributed via the data flow transmitted via the broadcasting transmission line and the communication line. By managing both of the data flows in the NTP format time information, the data of both can be easily matched.

On the other hand, the time information transmitted by MH-TOT is as follows.

FIG. 12C shows an example of the data structure of MH-TOT. The broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment can acquire the current date and the current time from the "JST_time" parameter of the MH-TOT. As shown in FIG. 12D, the "JST_time" parameter has the lower 16 bits of the coded data of the current date by the modified Julian Date (MJD) and the Japanese standard time (Japan Standard Time: JST) of 6 4 4 bits. It shall include 24-bit information expressed in Bit Binary Coded Decimal (BCD). The current date can be calculated by performing a predetermined operation on the 16-bit coded data of the MJD. The six 4-bit binary decimal numbers represent "hours" in two decimal digits by the first two 4-bit binary decimal numbers, and 10 by the next two 4-bit binary decimal numbers. The last two 4-bit 2-evolved decimal numbers represent "minutes" in two decimal digits, and the last two 4-bit binary decimal numbers represent "seconds" in two decimal digits.

That is, the difference between the time management based on the NTP format and the time management based on the MH-TOT is that the time management based on the former NTP format can transmit time information up to "less than a second" as described above. In the latter time management based on MH-TOT, only the time information up to the "second unit" in JST notation can be transmitted.

The broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment uses the time management function based on NTP, which is the time information in UTC notation, to decode and display the video, audio, subtitles, character super, and other presented data which are the contents of the broadcast signal. By using the above, more accurate synchronization processing can be realized. Furthermore, by referring to the information in the UTC notation instead of the clock notation of the broadcasting station, the video, audio, subtitles, character supermarket, or other data that is the content received in the broadcast signal, and the video and audio acquired through the communication line route. , Subtitles, character supervision, or other data decoding and display synchronization processing can also be performed.

Further, in the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment, a time management function based on "JST_time" including 24-bit information represented by 6 4-bit binary coded decimal numbers of MH-TOT is provided to the user at the current time. It may be used for the presentation process or each process for handling the MH-EIT shown in FIG. 7E. In general, in the process of presenting the current time to the user in the broadcast receiving device, accuracy of less than a second is rarely required. Further, each time information described in the MH-EIT is 24-bit information represented by 6 4-bit binary coded decimal numbers, similar to the EIT of the conventional digital broadcasting transmitted by the MPEG2-TS method. It is stored in "hours", "minutes", and "seconds" in two decimal digits. Therefore, the time management function based on MH-TOT in the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment is easy to match with each process handling MH-EIT. Specifically, each process that handles MH-EIT includes, for example, an electronic program guide generation process, a control of recording reservation and viewing reservation, and a copyright management process such as temporary storage. This is because accuracy of less than seconds is rarely required for any of the processes, and accuracy in units of 1 second is sufficient.

In addition, the generation process of the electronic program guide, control of recording reservation and viewing reservation, copyright management processing such as temporary storage, etc. are functions that are also installed in the receiver of the digital broadcasting system using the conventional MPEG2-TS method. Is. Then, also in the broadcasting system of this embodiment, in the processing such as the generation processing of the electronic program guide, the control of recording reservation and viewing reservation, and the copyright management processing such as temporary storage, the conventional MPEG2-TS system digital broadcasting system If it is configured so that it can be handled by time management processing that is consistent with the above, a broadcast receiving device having both a conventional MPEG2-TS digital broadcast receiving function and an MMT digital broadcast receiving function can be configured. In these processes (processing such as electronic program guide generation processing, recording reservation and viewing reservation control, copyright management processing such as temporary storage), it is not necessary to design processing algorithms separately, which is costly. Can be lowered.

Further, even if the receiver does not have the conventional MPEG2-TS system digital broadcast reception function but only the MMT system digital broadcast reception function, it can generate an electronic program guide and control recording reservation and viewing reservation. , Because it is possible to divert the algorithm of the function installed in the receiver of the digital broadcasting system using the conventional MPEG2-TS method without creating a completely new processing algorithm such as copyright management processing such as temporary storage. , Can be developed at lower cost.

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

As described above, the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment includes a time management function using two types of time information having different accuracy. That is, the first time information is notation time information consistent with the conventional digital broadcasting system, and the second time information is time information having a higher resolution than the first time information. By using the second time information for the synchronization processing of each content data of the broadcasting signal, more advanced information presentation processing than the conventional broadcasting system is realized, and the first time information is used for the generation processing of the electronic program guide and the recording reservation. Broadcast reception devices can be provided at low cost by using them for control of viewing reservations, copyright management processing such as temporary storage, and the like.

Therefore, the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment can achieve both the realization of more advanced information presentation processing and the cost reduction by providing the two types of time management functions described above.

[First variant of time management]
Next, a first modification of time management in the broadcasting system of this embodiment will be described below.

In the first modification, in order to improve the accuracy of the management time of the NTP-based time management function already described with reference to FIG. 12A, the time management server (not shown) or the broadcasting station server 300 to the broadcasting receiving device 100 Information on the estimated delay time in the time information transmission of the above is included in the broadcast signal and transmitted, and the broadcast receiving device 100 is configured to use the information on the estimated delay time to correct the system clock of the time management function based on NTP. Is also good.

At this time, the information regarding the assumed delay time is not in the TLV multiplexing stream of the protocol stack in the broadcast transmission line shown in FIG. 3A, but in the TMCC (Transmission and Multiplexing Control) region outside the TLV multiplexing stream. It may be configured to transmit. If the transmission is performed within the TMCC region, the broadcast receiving device 100 can extract the information regarding the estimated delay time without going through the separation processing (demax processing) of the TLV multiplexed stream. That is, it is possible to acquire information that is not easily affected by the delay due to the separation process in the broadcast receiving device 100, and therefore, it is possible to perform a highly accurate correction process of the system clock. An example of the data structure of the time information transmitted by the TMCC signal will be described with reference to FIG. 12E. The time information may be stored in the TMCC extended information area and transmitted, for example. In the time information of the TMCC extended information area shown in the figure, the "delta" parameter sets the estimated value of the transmission delay from the time management server that distributes UTC or the server device that creates TMCC signals to a general broadcast receiving device. Represented by a 32-bit signed fixed-point. The upper 16 bits describe the integer part, and the lower 16 bits describe the decimal point. The "transmit_timestamp" parameter is a transmission time stamp, and describes the time when the TMCC signal is transmitted from the server device in the NTP time stamp length format. The upper 32 bits represent the integer part, and the lower 32 bits represent the decimal point.

In the first modification, the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment stores the information related to the estimated delay time described in the time information transmitted in the TMCC extended information area (for example, the above-mentioned "delta"). The system clock of the NTP-based time management function used for the synchronization processing of each content data of the broadcast signal can be corrected with higher accuracy by using the parameter and / or the "transmission_time stamp" parameter).

[Second variant of time management]
Next, a second modification of time management in the broadcasting system of this embodiment will be described below.

As described above, the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment has a time management function of acquiring the current date and the Japanese standard time from the information transmitted by the MH-TOT and managing the time. The current date and the Japanese standard time acquired from the information transmitted by the MH-TOT are superimposed on the video information, application information, etc. by the video synthesis unit 161 of the broadcast receiving device 100, and thereby on the monitor unit 162 and the video output unit 163. It can be output and provided to the user. As described above, the MH-TOT has the data structure shown in FIG. 12C, and the broadcast receiving device 100 can acquire the current date and the current time from the “JST_time” parameter of the MH-TOT.

However, since only the lower 16 bits of the MJD encoded data are used in the above-mentioned "JST_time" parameter, digit overflow will occur on "April 22, 2038", and the predetermined calculation will occur. It is not possible to express the date after "April 23, 2038" by itself. Therefore, in the second modification of this embodiment, the date after "April 23, 2038" is expressed by switching the calculation method between the case where the value of MJD is equal to or more than the predetermined value and the case where the value is less than the predetermined value. It shall be controlled so that it can be done.

FIG. 12F shows an example of a first calculation method used when the value of MJD is equal to or more than a predetermined value and a second calculation method used when the value of MJD is less than a predetermined value. For example, when the predetermined value is "32768 (0x8000)", the current date is calculated using the first calculation method when the MJD is "32768" or more, and when the MJD is less than "32768". Calculates the current date using the second calculation method. The case where the MJD is less than "32768" is equivalent to the case where the most significant bit of the 16-bit data of the MJD is "0". As a result, in the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment, it is possible to express the date after "April 23, 2038". However, the predetermined value can be arbitrarily set, and the predetermined value may be set as "16384 (0x4000)", "49152 (0xC000)", or the like. The switching condition of the calculation method may be that the upper 2 bits of the 16-bit data of the MJD are "00" and the upper 2 bits of the 16-bit data of the MJD are not "11". If the above-mentioned means is used with the predetermined value set to "32768", the date before "September 4, 1948" cannot be expressed, but there is no particular problem in practical use as a television receiver. ..

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

Further, in the broadcasting system of this embodiment, as described above, the absolute time in NTP format is transmitted, and the broadcasting receiving device 100 of this embodiment has a time management function based on the NTP. Further, in the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment, the decoding timing and presentation for each presentation unit of the video / audio signal are referred to by referring to the NTP time stamp or the like described in the MPU time stamp descriptor set for each MPU unit. The timing is controlled. As described above, the NTP format time information has the configuration shown in FIG. 12B. Further, the MPU time stamp descriptor has the configuration shown in FIG. 7D.

Therefore, in the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment, the "reference_time stamp" parameter, the "transmit_time stamp" parameter, the "mpu_presentation_time" parameter, and the like are referred to, and the first You may choose whether to use one calculation method or the second calculation method. That is, for example, when the most significant bit of the 64-bit length NTP length format time data is "0", the second calculation method is used, and when it is not "0", the first calculation method is used. And so on.

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

[Broadcast receiver channel selection process (initial scan)]
The AMT of the broadcasting system of this embodiment provides a list of multicast groups of IP packets for receiving IP packets transmitted by the TLV multiplexing method as indistinguishably as possible from IP packets transmitted on a communication line. It shall be. A plurality of IP multicast groups can be listed for one service identification. In addition, an address mask can be used to efficiently describe consecutive IP addresses.

In the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment, a list of services acquired from TLV-NIT at the time of channel scanning at the time of initial setting or at the time of rescanning for setting change is displayed in a non-volatile memory such as ROM 103 or storage unit 110. In addition, it is possible to store a list of IP multicast groups corresponding to the respective services as IP-related information in the non-volatile memory in association with the respective services. To do. By storing the list of services and IP-related information in the non-volatile memory so that they can be referred to at all times, it is not necessary to reacquire TLV-NIT and AMT when switching channels, etc., and the acquisition of broadcast contents is efficient. It becomes possible to do.

FIG. 13A is a diagram showing an example of an operation sequence at the time of channel scan (rescan) in the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment.

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

When the TLV-NIT acquired in the process of S103 is valid data (S104: Yes), the reception function executing unit 1102 acquires information such as the TLV stream ID and the original network ID from the acquired TLV-NIT. (S105). FIG. 13B shows an example of the data structure of TLV-NIT. It is assumed that the TLV stream ID information can be obtained from the "tlv_stream_id" parameter, and the original network ID information can be obtained from the "original_network_id" parameter. Further, the distribution system information regarding the physical conditions of the broadcast transmission line corresponding to each TLV stream ID / original network ID is acquired from the distribution system descriptor (S106), and the list of service IDs is acquired from the service list descriptor (S106). S107).

FIG. 13C shows an example of the data structure of the satellite distribution system descriptor. FIG. 13D shows an example of the data structure of the service list descriptor. If the TLV-NIT has a plurality of different data such as the TLV stream ID, the original network ID, the distribution system information, the list of service IDs, and the like, the processes of S105 to S107 are repeated. Next, the reception function execution unit 1102 creates a service list based on data such as the TLV stream ID, the original network ID, the distribution system information, and the list of service IDs acquired in the processes of S105 to S107, and the service list is created. The service list is stored in the ROM 103, the storage unit 110, or the like (updated at the time of rescanning) (S108).

Next, the reception function execution unit 1102 acquires the AMT from the received signal (S109), and further acquires a list of IP multicast groups related to each service ID stored in the service list (S110). FIG. 13E shows an example of the data structure of AMT. If the AMT has a list of IP multicast groups related to a plurality of service IDs, the process of S110 is repeated. When there are a plurality of AMTs having a list of IP multicast groups related to different service IDs, the processes of S109 to S110 are repeated. Next, the reception function execution unit 1102 stores the list of IP multicast groups acquired in the process of S110 as IP-related information in the ROM 103, the storage unit 110, or the like in association with the service ID (updated at the time of rescanning). (S111).

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

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

By the series of processes described above, the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment has a list of services (service list) constituting the broadcast network at the time of channel scanning at the time of initial setting or at the time of rescanning for setting change. At the same time as the creation / update, the list of IP multicast groups (IP-related information) corresponding to each service can be created / updated and further stored in a non-volatile memory such as the ROM 103 or the storage unit 110.

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

[Broadcast receiver channel selection process (channel switching)]
FIG. 14A is a diagram showing an example of an operation sequence at the time of channel selection (channel switching) in the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment.

When the user operates a remote controller or the like (not shown) to instruct channel switching, the reception function execution unit 1102 interprets the command transmitted from the remote controller and specifies the service ID of the target service (S201). Next, the reception function execution unit 1102 starts acquiring AMT from the reception signal of the tuner / demodulation unit 131. When the acquisition of the AMT is successful within a predetermined time (S202: Yes), the information regarding the list of IP multicast groups corresponding to the service ID is acquired from the acquired AMT (S204). On the other hand, if the acquisition of AMT is not successful within a predetermined time (S202: No), the IP corresponding to the service ID can be obtained by referring to the IP-related information stored in the ROM 103 or the storage unit 110 (S203). Acquire information about the list of multicast groups (S204). Note that the IP-related information stored in the ROM 103, the storage unit 110, or the like may always be referred to without performing the determination process of S202.

Next, the reception function execution unit 1102 starts acquiring the TLV-NIT from the reception signal of the tuner / demodulation unit 131. When the acquisition of the TLV-NIT is successful within a predetermined time (S205: Yes), the distribution system information for acquiring the IP data flow corresponding to the service ID is acquired from the acquired TLV-NIT (S207). On the other hand, when the acquisition of the TLV-NIT is not successful within a predetermined time (S205: No), the service ID is supported by referring to the service list stored in the ROM 103 or the storage unit 110 (S206). The distribution system information for acquiring the IP data flow is acquired (S207). It should be noted that the determination process of S205 may not be performed, and the service list stored in the ROM 103, the storage unit 110, or the like may always be referred to.

When the distribution system information is acquired in the process of S207, the reception function execution unit 1102 then controls the tuner / demodulation unit 131 with the frequency value indicated by the acquired distribution system information, and the service ID. The IP data flow corresponding to (S208) is received, the MMT data string is extracted from the received IP data flow, and the data flow is output to the separation unit 132.

In the separation unit 132, the transport processing unit 1102a acquires an MMTP packet having a packet ID of “0” from the input MMT data string (S209), and further acquires an MPT included in the acquired MMTP packet. (S210). Next, the transport processing unit 1102a refers to the “MMT_package_id_byte” parameter possessed by the acquired MPT, and confirms whether or not the lower 16 bits of the “MMT_package_id_byte” parameter have the same value as the service ID. In an example of the MPT data structure shown in FIG. 7B, when the lower 16 bits of the “MMT_packet_id_byte” parameter have the same value as the service ID (S211: Yes), the MMTP packet having the packet ID “0” is It is determined that the MMTP packet has the data of the program corresponding to the service ID, and the process proceeds to the acquisition process of the MFU based on the information possessed by the acquired MPT.

On the other hand, when the lower 16 bits of the "MMT_packet_id_byte" parameter are not the same value as the service ID (S211: No), the MMTP packet having the packet ID "0" has the program data corresponding to the service ID. Judge that it is not a packet. In this case, the transport processing unit 1102a acquires the PLT again (S212), and by confirming the acquired PLT, the packet ID of the MMTP packet that transmits the MPT having the “MMT_package_id_byte” parameter corresponding to the service ID. Confirm (let's say x) (S213). Further, the transport processing unit 1102a acquires an MMTP packet having a packet ID “x” from the input MMT data string (S214), and acquires an MPT included in the acquired MMTP packet (S215). Further, the MFU acquisition process is started based on the acquired information of the MPT.

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

Here, the above-mentioned process of identifying the packet ID of the MMTP packet having the data of the program corresponding to the service ID by checking the PLT and acquiring the MPT will be described. An MMTP packet having a packet ID of "0" indicates that a PA message is transmitted. When multiple packages are multiplexed, this PA message includes a PLT (package list table), as shown in FIG. 14B. The PLT has a list of packet IDs of MMTP packets that transmit PA messages including MPTs of other packages, and by checking the PLT, PA messages including MPTs that are entry points of each service from the package IDs. It becomes possible to identify the MMTP packet to be transmitted. FIG. 14C shows an example of the data structure of PLT. It is assumed that the location information for transmitting the PA message of the package indicated by the "MMT_package_id_byte" parameter is specified by "MMT_general_location_info ()".

Returning to the description of the operation sequence shown in FIG. 14A. In the MFU acquisition process, first, the transport processing unit 1102a refers to the MPT acquired in the process of S210 or S215 and acquires the IP address and packet ID of the IP data flow for transmitting the desired MFU (S216). .. Further, the MPU presentation time is obtained from the MPU time stamp descriptor arranged in the MPT, and the MPU layout number is obtained from the MPU presentation area designation descriptor placed in the MPT (S217, S218). The MFU is acquired based on the IP address and packet ID of the acquired IP data flow (S219). Next, encoded video data, coded audio data, and the like are extracted from the acquired MFU, video / audio decoding processing is performed based on the control of the AV decoding processing unit 1102b, and the acquisition is performed under the control of the presentation processing unit 1102h. The presentation process is performed based on the information on the presentation time and the information on the layout control (S220).

If the PLT cannot be acquired in the processing of S212, or if the "MMT_packet_id_byte" parameter that matches the service ID cannot be confirmed in the processing of S213, the MMTP packet whose packet ID is "x" is processed in S215. If the packet ID cannot be acquired, the program output process (that is, the process of S216 to S220) may be performed based on the data of the MMTP packet whose packet ID is "0" acquired in the process of S210. .. Further, in this case, it is preferable to display a message indicating that the program corresponding to the service ID selected by the user could not be displayed.

Through the above series of processes, the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment can execute the channel selection (channel switching) operation. In particular, as described with reference to FIGS. 13A and 14A, a service list and IP-related information are created at the time of channel scanning at the time of initial setting or at the time of rescanning for setting change, and the ROM 103 and the storage unit. By storing it in a non-volatile memory such as 110 so that it can be referred to at all times, and referring to the service list and IP-related information stored in the non-volatile memory such as ROM 103 or the storage unit 110 at the time of channel selection (channel switching), It makes it possible to improve the efficiency of operation during channel selection (channel switching). That is, it is possible to shorten the time from the start of channel selection (channel switching) to the end of channel selection (channel switching) as compared with the case of reacquiring AMT or TLV-NIT at the time of channel selection (channel switching). Become.

[Broadcast receiver remote control key setting process]
FIG. 15A shows an example of the appearance of the remote controller (remote controller) 100R used for inputting operation instructions to the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment. The remote controller 100R includes at least a power key 100R1, a numeric keypad 100R2, a channel up / down key 100R3, a menu key 100R4, an EPG key 100R5, a cursor key 100R6, a decision key 100R7, and a color key 100R8. A volume up / down key, a network switching key, an input switching key, a recording key, a playback key, and the like may be further provided.

For example, in the process of S201 of the operation sequence at the time of channel selection shown in FIG. 14A, when instructing the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment to switch channels by using the remote controller 100R, the following three methods are used. May be used. The first method is a method in which the service ID of a desired channel (service) is directly input and specified by pressing the numeric keypad 100R2 a plurality of times. The second method is a method of sequentially advancing (or reversing) the channels until a desired channel (service) is displayed by repeatedly pressing the channel up / down keys 100R3 as necessary. The third method is a method of performing so-called one-touch channel selection, in which a predetermined channel (service) associated with each key of the numeric keypad 100R2 is called by pressing the numeric keypad 100R2 only once. The one-touch channel selection method, which is the third method, is an easy-to-use channel selection method, but it is necessary to set the association of a predetermined channel (service) to each key of the numeric keypad 100R2 in advance in the broadcast receiving device 100. is there.

The broadcast receiving device 100 corresponding to the broadcasting system of this embodiment can automatically set the association based on the control information included in the digital broadcast wave received by the tuner / demodulation unit 131. And. That is, the broadcasting system of this embodiment prepares a remote control key descriptor as a descriptor of TLV-SI. The association may be set by referring to the remote control key descriptor.

FIG. 15B shows an example of the data structure of the remote control key descriptor. The "service_id" parameter in the figure is the service ID that identifies the channel (service). The "remote_control_key_id" parameter is a recommended value of the remote control button number to which the channel (service) identified by the service ID is assigned. Depending on the value of each of the above parameters, the channel (service) identified by the "service_id" parameter may be associated with the key specified by the value of the "remote_control_key_id" parameter of the numeric keypad 100R2.

When the number of channels (services) in the same network is large, the channels (services) may be assigned to keys other than the numeric keypad 100R2. For example, a predetermined channel (service) is assigned to the color key 100R8. In this case, a numerical value corresponding to the "remote_control_key_id" parameter may be assigned to each key of the color key 100R8 in advance.

The remote control key descriptor may be described as a TLV-NIT descriptor. Therefore, for example, when the TLV-NIT acquired in the process of S103 of the operation sequence at the time of channel scan shown in FIG. 13A is valid data, the description of the remote control key descriptor is described together with the process of S105 to S107. The association may be set by storing the contents in the ROM 103 of the broadcast receiving device 100 or a non-volatile memory such as the storage unit 110.

In addition to the method of setting the association according to the description contents of the remote control key descriptor as described above, the user appropriately assigns the service of an arbitrary channel to each key of the numeric keypad 100R2 according to his / her preference. You may go by doing so. Further, both the association setting according to the description content of the remote control key descriptor and the association setting assigned according to the user's preference are simultaneously stored in the non-volatile memory of the broadcast receiving device 100, and menu operations and the like can be performed. Depending on your choice, you may choose to use only one of the settings. Further, in this case, the association setting assigned by the user according to his / her preference may be preferentially used. Further, according to the value of the priority flag described in the remote control key descriptor, the setting of the association according to the description content of the remote control key descriptor is prioritized over the setting of the association assigned by the user according to the preference. You may use it. The priority flag may be set by using some or all of the "reserved" parameters of the remote control key descriptor shown in FIG. 15B, or by adding a new parameter. In this case, the value of the priority flag may be controllable for each service ID.

Further, when the association setting assigned by the user according to the preference is stored in the non-volatile memory, the association setting according to the description content of the remote control key descriptor is not stored in the non-volatile memory. You may. Further, when the non-volatile memory of the broadcast receiving device 100 stores only the association setting assigned by the user according to the preference and the remote control key descriptor is described in the receiving TLV-NIT, the remote control key descriptor is described. Use the association setting according to the description content of the remote control key descriptor, and if the remote control key descriptor is not described in the receiving TLV-NIT, the association assigned by the user according to preference. You may choose to use the settings.

The process of changing the association of a predetermined channel (service) with each key of the numeric keypad 100R2 according to the description content of the remote control key descriptor is described in the service list descriptor in the network specified by TLV-NIT. It may be performed for all services at the same time, or it may be performed for only some services. When the above processing is performed only for some services, the old settings may be retained for other services. Further, when the "service_id" parameter is a predetermined value (for example, 999 or the like), the setting specified by the "remote_control_key_id" parameter among the set contents stored in the non-volatile memory of the broadcast receiving device 100. It is also possible to delete only with respect to.

That is, in the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment, it is possible to set the association of a predetermined channel (service) with each key of the numeric keypad 100R2.

[Multi-channel channel selection process]
Also in the broadcasting system of this embodiment, it is possible to perform multi-organization in which a plurality of programs are broadcast in parallel on one channel (service). When simultaneously broadcasting a plurality of programs by multi-organization, it is considered that the above-mentioned one-touch channel selection is possible only for the multi-organization main channel and not for the multi-organization sub-channel. That is, when selecting a sub-channel of multi-organization, the method of directly inputting and specifying the service ID is used, or the main channel of multi-organization is once selected by one-touch channel selection, and then the channel up / down key 100R3 is used. It is necessary to use a method of selecting a desired subchannel by pressing, which causes a problem that the operation becomes complicated.

In order to solve the above problem, in the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment, the function of one-touch channel selection is expanded, and the numeric keypad 100R2 to which a predetermined service ID is assigned is repeatedly pressed a plurality of times within a predetermined time. This enables direct selection of multi-organized sub-channels.

This will be described with reference to FIG. 16A. For example, it is assumed that the service of channel 011 is assigned in advance to the "1" key of the numeric keypad 100R2 of the remote controller 100R. In this case, if the channel selection operation is performed in a state where the multi-organization is not performed (see (A) in the figure), the 011 channel is selected regardless of the number of times the "1" key is pressed. On the other hand, in the case of the channel selection operation in the state of performing multi-organization (see (B) in the figure), if the "1" key is pressed only once, the 011 channel is selected and the first "1" key is selected. If the "1" key is pressed again within a predetermined time from the pressing, the 012 channel is selected. Similarly, if the "1" key is pressed three times within a predetermined time, channel 013 is selected. If the "1" key is pressed again after a predetermined time has passed since the first pressing of the "1" key, the 011 channel may remain selected.

By enabling the above-mentioned operations, the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment enables direct channel selection of sub-channels at the time of multi-organization with a simpler operation.

Similarly, the angle of the multi-view compatible program and the selection of a predetermined video asset from a plurality of video assets may be selected by repeatedly pressing the numeric keypad 100R2 a plurality of times. As shown in FIG. 16B, when the service ID of the multi-view compatible program is assigned to the "1" key of the numeric keypad 100R2 of the remote controller 100R, pressing the "1" key only once selects the multi-view compatible program. It is assumed that the main view is displayed after being stationed. Further, if the "1" key is pressed again within a predetermined time after the first pressing of the "1" key, the subview 1 of the multi-view compatible program is displayed. Similarly, when the "1" key is pressed three times within a predetermined time, the subview 2 of the multi-view compatible program is displayed. When the "1" key is pressed again after a predetermined time has passed since the first pressing of the "1" key, the main view of the multi-view compatible program may remain displayed. A predetermined video asset can be selected from a plurality of video assets by the same operation as described above.

By enabling the above-mentioned operations, in the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment, it is possible to select the angle of the multi-view compatible program and select a predetermined video asset from a plurality of video assets with a simpler operation. It is supposed to be.

When one or more programs at the time of multi-organization are multi-view compatible programs or programs having a plurality of assets, only one of the above operations may be valid and the other may be invalid. For example, when one or more programs at the time of multi-organization are programs compatible with multi-view or a program having multiple assets, the operation of pressing the same key multiple times within a predetermined time is directly selected for the sub-channel at the time of multi-organization. To be assigned to the processing of. Which operation is valid or invalid may be predetermined or may be selected by the user.

[Screen layout control of broadcast receiver]
It is assumed that the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment can control the screen layout based on the description of the LCT. FIG. 17A shows an example of the LCT data structure. FIG. 17B shows an example of the data structure of the MPU presentation area designation descriptor.

In the LCT data structure, in particular, the "left_top_pos_x" parameter and the "light_down_pos_x" parameter are the horizontal position at the upper left and the lower right of the area when the left side of the full screen display is "0" / the right side is "100". The horizontal position shall be indicated as a ratio to the total number of pixels in the horizontal direction. The "left_top_pos_y" parameter and the "right_down_pos_y" parameter are the vertical positions of the upper left and lower right of the area when the upper side of the full screen display is "0" and the lower side is "100". It shall be shown as a ratio to the total number of pixels. Further, the "layer_order" parameter shall indicate the relative position of the region in the depth direction.

An example of assigning a layout to a layout number based on the setting of each parameter will be described below together with the setting value of each parameter.

FIG. 17C is a default layout setting of the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment, and is an example of setting only one area on the entire screen. FIG. 17D is an example in which the entire screen is divided into three areas, and the respective areas are designated as “area 0”, “area 1”, and “area 2”. For example, when the number of pixels of the full screen is 7680 pixels horizontally / 4320 pixels vertically, the "region 0" has the "left_top_pos_x" parameter "0", the "left_top_pos_y" parameter "0", and the "right_down_pos_x" parameter "80". , "Right_down_pos_y" Since the parameter is "80", it is set in the range of (0,0)-(6143,3455). Similarly, "Region 1" is set in the range of (6144,0)-(7679,4319), and "Region 2" is set in the range of (0,3456)-(6143,4319).

FIG. 17E is an example of setting three regions as in FIG. 17D, but “region 0” is set in the range of (0,0) − (7679,4319), and “region 1” and “region 1” and “region” are set. 2 ”is arranged in front of the“ region 0 ”in the same range as described above, depending on the setting of the“ layer_order ”parameter. In FIG. 17F, "area 0" is set in device 0 (default device: broadcast receiving device 100 in this embodiment), and "area 1" is set in device 1 (mobile information terminal 700 in this embodiment). This is an example of the case where it is done.

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

In the area where the program image or the data screen is not displayed due to the screen layout control described above, a predetermined background color specified by the background color specification descriptor described in the LCT may be displayed. Further, if the LCT does not include the background color designation descriptor, or if the broadcast receiving device 100 cannot correctly acquire the background color designation descriptor, the predetermined background color specified by the background color designation descriptor is obtained. If it is not possible to display due to hardware restrictions, etc., the image display device 100 may display a predetermined pattern predetermined in the area. Further, the area may be used as a notification display area for the user from the video display device 100. The notification may be arbitrary information.

It should be noted that the fractions after the decimal point generated when the screen is divided according to the set values of the parameters such as "left_top_pos_x" may be rounded up or down. It may be rounded (or rounded to zero in binary). For example, the number of pixels of the full screen is 7680 pixels / vertical 4320 pixels, the "left_top_pos_x" parameter of "area 0" is "0", the "left_top_pos_y" parameter is "0", the "right_down_pos_x" parameter is "51", and "right_down_". When the parameter is "51", "area 0" may be set in the range of (0,0)-(3916,2203) by the rounding process, or (0,0)-(3915, 3915, by the truncation process. "Area 0" may be set in the range of 2202). Further, in consideration of the macro block at the time of the video compression processing, the round-up / round-down processing may be performed in units of 8 pixels, 16 pixels, or the like. By the processing, it becomes possible to efficiently perform the area setting based on the LCT and the resolution conversion processing of the multimedia content in the area.

Alternatively, the setting value of the parameter such as "left_top_pos_x" may be limited to only "multiples of 5" or "multiples of 10" in the range of "0" to "100". Also in this case, the area setting can be preferably performed.

The content displayed in each of the areas is designated by the MPU presentation area designation descriptor shown in FIG. 17B. It is assumed that the contents of the MPU whose sequence number is specified by the "mpu_sequence_number" parameter in the figure are associated with the description of the LCT by the "layout_number" parameter and the "region_number" parameter.

Further, in the first "for" loop of the description of the MPU presentation area specification descriptor, a plurality of "layout_number" parameters and "region_number" parameters are described for one "mpu_sequence_number" parameter, and the layout is performed according to any description. The user may be allowed to select whether to perform control. For example, in the first "for" loop, when the "layout_number1" parameter, the "region_number1" parameter, the "layout_number2" parameter, and the "region_number2" parameter are described with respect to the predetermined "mpu_questence_number" parameter, the above-mentioned "region_number2" parameter is described. Let the user select whether to control the layout of the MPU specified by the mpu_sequence_number parameter based on the "layout_number1" parameter and the "region_number1" parameter, or based on the "layout_number2" parameter and the "region_number2" parameter, etc. Is. In this way, the user can control the layout of the video program according to his / her preference.

[Exception handling for screen layout control of broadcast receiver]
In the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment, even when the area control of the screen layout is performed by the above-mentioned LCT, when the user instructs the display of the EPG screen or the like, as an exception process, It is possible to perform screen layout control ignoring the description contents of the LCT. FIG. 18A shows an example of the operation of exception handling of screen layout control based on LCT.

According to the description of the LCT, the same screen layout control as in FIG. 17D is performed, the broadcast program image is displayed in the "area 0", and the broadcast of the program cooperation data and the like linked to the broadcast program in the "area 1" and the "area 2". When the user instructs the display of the EPG screen by the remote controller (not shown) while the content is displayed, the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment describes the LCT as shown in FIG. 18A (A). Regardless of the content, the screen layout setting is returned to the default setting (that is, the screen layout control similar to that shown in FIG. 17C is performed), and the EPG screen is controlled to be displayed on the entire screen. Further, when the user instructs the end of the display of the EPG screen, the screen layout control according to the description contents of the LCT is re-executed.

By performing the above-mentioned control, the EPG screen can be displayed larger than the case where the EPG screen is displayed while maintaining the area control of the screen layout as shown in FIG. 18A (B). It is possible to improve the visibility.

The exception handling of the screen layout control is not applied only when displaying the EPG screen, and as shown in FIG. 18B, various setting screens of the broadcast receiving device 100 (recording setting screen in the illustrated example). ) May be applied when the child screen is displayed or when the two screens are displayed.

In the case of the recording setting screen shown in FIG. 6A, the display area of the broadcast content is changed from the entire screen to only the sub screen portion at the lower right of the screen. Similarly, in the case of the two-screen display shown in FIG. 3B, the display area of the broadcast content is changed from the entire screen to only the split screen portion on the left side of the middle stage of the screen. In either case, the display area for displaying the broadcast content is narrower than when the entire screen is used, so that the area control of the screen layout is maintained within the display area (that is, the area division is performed). It is not preferable in terms of visual recognition to go and display a plurality of broadcast contents at the same time). Therefore, in the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment, in the above situation, only the broadcast content of the "area 0" is selected and displayed in the display area. It should be noted that the broadcast contents of "Area 1" and "Area 2" may be selected and displayed according to the immediately preceding area selection status.

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

[Aspect ratio conversion process for video signals]
The aspect ratio of video signals in TV broadcasting services includes "4: 3" used in conventional SDTV, "16: 9" used in HDTV in recent years, and "21: 9" suitable for movie content. ], Etc. The information on the aspect ratio of the video signal may be described by the video component descriptor in the broadcasting system of this embodiment. FIG. 19A shows an example of the data structure of the video component descriptor. In the figure, the "video_assist_ratio" parameter is information regarding the aspect ratio of the video signal. FIG. 19B shows an example of the meaning of the “video_assist_ratio” parameter. Aspect ratios different from those shown may be further assigned.

On the other hand, the aspect ratio of the display unit of the television receiver (broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment, etc.) capable of receiving the television broadcasting service is generally "16: 9". That is, when displaying video content having an aspect ratio of "4: 3" or "21: 9" on a general television receiver, the aspect ratio conversion process may be performed.

Whether or not to perform the aspect ratio conversion process may be determined by comparing the specifications of the monitor unit 162 of the broadcast receiving device 100 with the "video_assist_ratio" parameter of the video component descriptor. For example, when the aspect ratio of the monitor unit 162 of the broadcast receiving device 100 is "16: 9" (width 3840 pixels x height 2160 pixels, etc.), the value of the "video_assist_ratio" parameter is "0", "2", or ". If it is "3", the aspect ratio conversion process may not be performed, and if it is "1" or "5", the aspect ratio conversion process may be performed. Further, for example, when the aspect ratio of the monitor unit 162 of the broadcast receiving device 100 is "21: 9" (horizontal 5040 pixels x vertical 2160 pixels, etc.), the value of the "video_assist_ratio" parameter is "0" or "5". If so, the aspect ratio conversion process may not be performed, and if it is "1", "2", or "3", the aspect ratio conversion process may be performed.

19C and 19D show an example of the aspect ratio conversion process when the aspect ratio of the monitor unit 162 of the broadcast receiving device 100 is "16: 9" and the value of the "video_assist_ratio" parameter is "5". When displaying video content with an aspect ratio of "21: 9" on the monitor unit 162 with an aspect ratio of "16: 9", by adding black bands above and below the video content with an aspect ratio of "21: 9", the aspect ratio May be converted to "16: 9" (display A in the figure). In this way, the entire area of the original video content can be displayed without distortion. Further, only the central portion of the video content having the aspect ratio “21: 9” may be cut out and displayed on the monitor unit 162 (display B in the figure). In this way, it is possible to display the main part of the original video content in a large size. Further, a small amount of black bands may be added above and below the video content having an aspect ratio of "21: 9" to further cut out the central portion (display C in the figure). In this way, most of the original video content can be displayed in a large size. Further, the left and right edges of the video content having an aspect ratio of "21: 9" may be compressed to display the entire area (display D in the figure). In this way, the entire area of the original video content can be enlarged, and the main part can be displayed without distortion. Further, black bands may be added slightly above and below the video content having an aspect ratio of "21: 9", and the left and right edges may be further compressed to display the entire area (display E in the figure). By doing so, it is possible to display the entire area of the original video content in a large size and with less distortion at the left and right ends.

The user may be able to select how to perform the aspect ratio conversion process by setting a menu or the like. Alternatively, the switching may be performed by pressing a predetermined key on the remote controller or the like. The above-mentioned aspect ratio "21: 9" includes an aspect ratio such as "2.35: 1" of a so-called cinemascope, which is roughly "21: 9". The same applies to the numerical values of other aspect ratios.

[EPG display of broadcast receiver]
In the broadcasting system of this embodiment, time-series information regarding events (so-called programs) included in each service constituting the broadcasting network is transmitted by MH-EIT. The MH-EIT shown in FIG. 7E is identified into two classes by the table ID (corresponding to the "talbe_id" parameter in the figure), and information on the current / next event of the own TLV stream and each event of the own TLV stream. It shall be possible to show schedule information. The broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment refers to the MH-EIT or the like and identifies by a service ID (corresponding to the “service_id” parameter in the figure) to provide information such as the start time and broadcast time of each event. It is possible to create an EPG screen by acquiring the above, and it is possible to superimpose the created EPG on the video information or the like in the video synthesis unit 161 and display it on the monitor unit 162.

FIG. 20A is a diagram showing an example of an EPG screen in the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment. The EPG screen 162a has a matrix shape in which the vertical axis represents time and the horizontal axis represents service ID (channel), and detailed information of broadcast programs broadcast on each channel in each time zone is displayed. Further, the detailed information 162a1 of each broadcast program is mainly composed of a title area 162a2 and a detailed explanation area 162a3. In the detailed information 162a1 of each broadcast program, the program information described and distributed in the MH-short format event descriptor and the MH-extended format event descriptor may be displayed. When the capacity of the program information or the like described in each descriptor is large, the abbreviated display may be performed normally, and all the program information may be displayed by a pop-up or the like at the time of selection by operating the remote controller (not shown). .. Alternatively, at the time of selection, the program information or the like described in each descriptor may be transmitted to the mobile information terminal 700 in the linked operation, and the mobile information terminal 700 may be instructed to display the program information on the display unit 741.

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

It should be noted that each control information (message, table, descriptor, etc.) in the broadcasting system of this embodiment indicates that the content, application, etc. related to the broadcasting program can be acquired from the network. However, if the LAN cable is not connected to the LAN communication unit 121 of the broadcast receiving device 100 and the access to each server device on the network is not possible, the mark 162a4 in which the above-mentioned "NetWork" is symbolized Etc. may be controlled so as not to be displayed.

Further, when the broadcast program is a distribution program distributed via the Internet 200 and cannot be acquired only from the broadcast wave, the broadcast receiving device 100 is a server device on the network as described above. When the access to is not possible, as shown in FIG. 20B, the portion of the detailed information 162b1 displayed on the EPG screen 162b may be controlled to be grayed out. That is, it is controlled so that the detailed information of the distributed program that cannot be viewed is not displayed. Further, by differentiating the background color of the detailed information 162b1 from others, it may be used as a substitute for the grayout process. Alternatively, a message such as "This program cannot be viewed" may be displayed in the detailed explanation area 162a3 of the distributed program. When the detailed information 162b1 is selected by operating the remote controller (not shown), the broadcast receiving device 100 is in a state where it cannot access each server device on the network, or the distribution program associated with the detailed information 162b1 is viewed. The user may be notified by a pop-up or the like that it cannot be performed.

By each of the above-mentioned controls, the broadcast receiving device 100 can provide the program information of each broadcast program to the user in a more comfortable format according to the network connection status.

FIG. 20C is a diagram showing another example of the EPG screen in the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment. In the figure, "M1 TV", "M2 broadcast", "M3 channel", "M4TV", "TV M5", etc. are the broadcast station names of each channel, and in particular, the "M2 broadcast" station depends on the broadcast wave. It is assumed that the broadcast program to be distributed and the broadcast program distributed via the Internet 200 (information 162c1 in the frame indicated by "net broadcasting" in the figure) are provided at the same time.

As shown in the figure, when there is a channel having only a distribution program distributed via the Internet 200, all channels (including information 162c1) are normally shown in the EPG screen 162c of the figure (A). Control to display the information of. On the other hand, when the broadcast receiving device 100 cannot access each server device on the network, as shown in the EPG screen 162d of FIG. It may be controlled not to display the channel information of "M2 broadcasting (net broadcasting)" (information 162c1 in the figure (A)).

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

[Emergency warning broadcast display of broadcast receiver]
The broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment performs an emergency warning broadcast reception process when the emergency warning broadcast start control signal bit of the TMCC signal included in the transmission data including the TLV stream changes from "0" to "1". It shall be possible to do so.

The emergency warning broadcast may be provided as a broadcast program of a dedicated channel (service ID), may be provided as a full-screen display application, or may be provided as character information at a character supermarket. When the emergency warning broadcast is provided as character information in the character super, it is preferable to display the character information of the character super regardless of the state of the broadcast receiving device 100 immediately before receiving the emergency warning broadcast. That is, as shown in FIG. 21, when the user watches a normal broadcast program and receives the emergency warning broadcast while the program screen 162e of the broadcast program is displayed on the monitor unit 162, the emergency warning broadcast is performed. The character information 162e1 is superimposed and displayed on the program screen 162e. Similarly, when the user instructs the display of the EPG screen and receives the emergency warning broadcast while the EPG screen 162f is displayed on the monitor unit 162, the character information 162f1 by the emergency warning broadcast is superimposed on the EPG screen 162f. Is controlled to be displayed.

By the above-mentioned control, in the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment, even when the user selects and displays the EPG screen, various setting screens, the recorded program list screen, the Internet browser, etc., the emergency warning broadcast is performed. Is received, it is possible to avoid overlooking important text information based on the emergency warning broadcast. Note that this control may be performed on the character information of a normal character supermarket that does not depend on the emergency warning broadcast.

When the emergency warning broadcast is provided as a broadcast program of a dedicated channel (service ID), the emergency warning broadcast channel (service ID) is used regardless of the channel (service ID) of the program currently being viewed. The channel may be automatically selected. Further, when the emergency warning broadcast is provided as a broadcast program of a dedicated channel (service ID) or as an application, an external portable terminal device (this embodiment) that cooperates under the control of the cooperation function execution unit 1103. In the above, the broadcast program or application of the emergency warning broadcast may be distributed to the mobile information terminal 700 or the like.

Further, if the power of the broadcast receiving device 100 is not turned on when the emergency warning broadcast is delivered, control may be performed so that the power of the broadcast receiving device 100 is automatically turned on. Alternatively, control may be performed so as to transmit a notification that the emergency warning broadcast has started to the mobile information terminal 700 having a history of cooperative operation with the broadcast receiving device 100.

By the above-mentioned control, in the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment, it is possible to avoid overlooking the display of the video of an important broadcast program or application based on the emergency warning broadcast.

[Display control exception handling]
When the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment cannot acquire the data transmitted by a route other than the TLV stream among the data constituting the same package, for example, the following exception processing may be performed.

As described with reference to FIG. 7A, in the broadcasting system supported by the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment, the data acquired from the TLV stream and the TLV stream based on the location information (see FIG. 7C) stored in the MPT. Data acquired from routes other than can be included in the same package. However, the data transmitted by the data transmission path other than the TLV stream (for example, the IPv4 data flow or the IPv6 data flow of the communication line, the MPEG2-TS of the broadcast, etc.) indicated by the location information has the function of receiving the TLV / MMT stream. Is data to be acquired by another receiving function. Therefore, even when the broadcast receiving device 100 is operating, the receiving function of these transmission paths is not operating, or even if the receiving function itself is operating, the relay device or the like on the transmission path is operating. Data acquisition from these transmission paths, such as no situation, no wired or wireless connection of these transmission paths, or a situation where the broadcast receiver 100 is installed in an environment where these transmission paths cannot be connected in the first place. There may be situations where you cannot do it.

Under such circumstances, the location information stored in the MPT receives an event indicating that the data acquired from the TLV stream and the data acquired from a route other than the TLV stream are associated with each other so as to be included in the same package. If so, the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment may perform the following operations.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 17D and 17E, the LCT sets a plurality of areas in the screen, displays a program image based on the data acquired from the TLV stream in "area 0", and displays "area 1" or "area 1". When the "area 2" is associated so that the content based on the data acquired from the transmission path other than the TLV stream is displayed, and the content other than the TLV stream to be displayed in the "area 1" or the "area 2" is displayed. If the data of the transmission path of the above cannot be acquired, the layout display of the plurality of areas specified by the LCT may be prohibited. Specifically, even if the LCT is received, the program image based on the data acquired from the TLV stream is left in the "area 0" of the default layout display shown in FIG. 17C, and the program image is displayed in FIGS. 17D and 17E. It suffices not to shift to the layout display of multiple areas like this. Further, in this state, even if a change instruction from the default layout to the layout indicated by the LCT is input to the operation input unit 170 of the broadcast receiving device 100, the default layout display shown in FIG. It is also possible to switch to the data broadcasting screen so as not to shift to the layout display of a plurality of areas as shown in FIGS. 17D and 17E.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 17D and 17E, the LCT sets a plurality of areas in the screen, displays a program image based on the data acquired from the TLV stream in "area 0", and displays "area 1" and When the "area 2" is associated so that the content based on the data acquired by the transmission path other than the TLV stream is displayed, and the content other than the TLV stream to be displayed in the "area 1" or the "area 2" is displayed. As another operation example when the data of the transmission path of the above cannot be acquired, the display frames of the multiple areas of FIGS. 17D and 17E shown by the LCT are once displayed, and the background colors of "area 1" and "area 2" are displayed. Or, if a predetermined still image is displayed and data of a transmission path other than the TLV stream indicated by the MPT location information cannot be acquired even after a lapse of a predetermined time, the default layout display state shown in FIG. 17C is restored. You may switch the display. In this case, even when the layout of FIG. 17C is changed to the layout of FIGS. 17D or 17E and the layout of FIGS. 17D or 17E is changed to the layout of FIG. 17C, the TLV stream is set in "Area 0" of each layout. It is preferable if the program video based on the data acquired from the above is operated so as to be continuously displayed, because the user's viewing of the program video itself can be continued.

Further, since the data of the transmission path other than the TLV stream to be displayed in "Area 1" and "Area 2" cannot be acquired, the data acquired from the TLV stream in "Area 0" of the default layout display shown in FIG. 17C is used. When the based program video is displayed, the various communication functions and various reception functions of the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment start to operate, and the communication environment / communication status and various reception functions of the various communication functions are started. Due to the change in the reception environment / reception status of the above, it is possible that the data of the transmission path other than the TLV stream to be displayed in the "region 1" or the "region 2" can be acquired. In this case, the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment immediately switches from the default layout display shown in FIG. 17C to the layout of a plurality of areas as shown in FIGS. 17D and 17E shown by the LCT, and “region 0”. The program image based on the data acquired from the TLV stream may be displayed in, and the content based on the data acquired from the transmission path other than the TLV stream may be displayed in "Area 1" or "Area 2". Alternatively, the layout change may be executed after the change instruction from the default layout to the layout indicated by the LCT is input from the operation input unit 170 without immediately changing the layout. In this case, it is preferable to notify the user by an OSD display or the like that the layout can be changed.

[Copyright protection function]
In the digital broadcasting system supported by the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment, by transmitting the copy control information to the MPT or the like, for example, "unlimited copying is possible"("unlimited copying is possible and encryption at the time of storage and output" is possible. It may be divided into two types: "Cryptography required" and "Unlimited copying and no encryption processing required during storage and output"), "Only one generation can be copied", and "Predetermined multiple times can be copied" (for example, 9 times). If copy is possible + one move is possible, the copy control state of the content referred to by MPT or the like may be indicated, such as so-called "dubbing 10") or "copy prohibited". In this case, the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment stores the content in the storage (storage) unit 110, records it on a removable recording medium, outputs it to an external device, and sends it to the external device according to the copy control information. It may be configured to control copying, moving processing to an external device, and the like.

The target of the storage process is not only the storage (storage) unit 110 inside the broadcast receiving device 100, but also a removable recording medium that has been subjected to protection processing such as encryption processing so that it can be played back only by the broadcast receiving device 100. External devices and the like may be included. Specifically, for example, among external recording devices such as HDDs connected to the expansion interface unit 124, those that can be recorded and played back only by the broadcast receiving device 100 are included.

<Content copy control>
A specific example of the content copy control process based on the copy control information will be described below.

First, when the copy control information included in the MPT or the like indicates "unlimited copying is possible", the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment is stored in the storage (storage) unit 110, recorded in a removable recording medium, or externally. Output to a device, copying to an external device, move processing to an external device, etc. may be performed without restrictions. However, the control based on the copy control information is divided into "unlimited copy possible and encryption processing required at the time of storage and output" and "unlimited copy possible and encryption processing not required at the time of storage and output". , "Unlimited copying is possible and encryption processing is required at the time of storage and output", storage in the storage (storage) unit 110, recording on a removable recording medium, output to an external device, copying to an external device , Move processing to external devices can be performed without restrictions, but it is necessary to perform encryption processing in each case.

Further, when the copy control information included in the MPT or the like indicates "copying is possible only for one generation", the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment is used for encrypted storage in the storage (storage) unit 110 or broadcast reception. It may be possible to record on a removable recording medium that has been subjected to a protective process such as an encryption process that can be reproduced only by the device 100. In addition, when the stored content is output to an external device for viewing, it is encrypted and output together with the copy control information of "copy prohibited". Further, so-called move processing to an external device (a process of copying the content to the external device and rendering the content of the storage (storage) unit 110 of the broadcast receiving device 100 or the like unreproducible by an erasing process or the like) is possible.

When the copy control information included in the MPT or the like indicates "copying is possible a predetermined number of times", the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment encrypts and stores the data in the storage (storage) unit 110, or broadcast reception. It may be possible to perform a process of recording on a removable recording medium that has been subjected to a protective process such as an encryption process that can be reproduced only by the device 100. In addition, when the stored content is output to an external device for viewing, it is encrypted and output together with the copy control information of "copy prohibited". Further, it may be possible to perform a predetermined number of times of copying and moving processing to an external device. In the case of the so-called "dubbing 10" regulation, it is possible to perform 9 copies to an external device and 1 move process.

Further, when the copy control information included in the MPT or the like indicates "copy prohibition", the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment prohibits storage (copying) in the storage (storage) unit 110 or the like. However, the broadcast receiving device 100 stores (stores) only a predetermined time specified in advance or a predetermined time specified by control information (for example, by MH-Expire descriptor, content use control descriptor, etc.) included in the broadcast signal. ) It may be configured to have a "temporary storage" mode that enables holding in the unit 110 or the like. In this case, the broadcast receiving device 100 can temporarily hold the content in the storage (storage) unit 110 or the like even when the copy control information included in the MPT or the like indicates "copy prohibited". And. When the copy control information included in the MPT or the like outputs the "copy prohibited" content to an external device for viewing, it is encrypted and output together with the "copy prohibited" copy control information.

The output for viewing to the above-mentioned external device is via the video output unit 163 and the audio output unit 166 of the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment, the digital I / F unit 125, the LAN communication unit 121, or the like. Just go. The above-mentioned copy or move process to the external device may be performed via the digital I / F unit 125, the LAN communication unit 121, or the like.

FIG. 22A shows an example of the data structure of the content copy control descriptor in the broadcasting system of this embodiment. It is assumed that the "digital_recording_control_data" parameter in the figure is digital copy control information and indicates information for controlling the copy generation of the content. Further, FIG. 22B shows an example of the parameter values of the digital copy control information and their meanings. For example, when the parameter is "00", "unlimited copying is possible" is indicated, when the parameter is "01", it can be defined by the business operator, and when the parameter is "10", it can be defined. It indicates "copy is possible only for one generation", and when the parameter is "11", it indicates "copy prohibited". Further, FIG. 23 shows an example of the data structure of the content usage control descriptor in the broadcasting system of this embodiment. It is assumed that the "copy_restriction_mode" parameter in the figure is the copy restriction mode and indicates whether or not the number limited copy is possible.

In the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment, when the digital copy control information is "01", it is possible to execute a storage process capable of copying a predetermined number of times predetermined by the broadcaster. Alternatively, when the digital copy control information is not "11" and the copy restriction mode indicates that the number of copies can be limited, the accumulation process capable of copying a predetermined number of times predetermined by the broadcaster can be executed. Is also good. Alternatively, in this case, the number of copyable times for each content may be specified by using a part or all of the "reserved_future_use" parameter of the digital content usage descriptor.

Through the above processing, the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment can realize the above-mentioned content copy control of "predetermined number of times copying possible".

Further, when the "retention_mode" parameter in the content usage control descriptor shown in FIG. 23 is a temporary storage control bit and the digital copy control information indicates "copy prohibited", temporary storage of the target content is permitted. It indicates whether or not to do so. Further, the "retention_state" parameter is the temporary storage allowable time, and indicates the temporary storage allowable time when the temporary storage allowable bit allows the temporary storage of the target content.

In the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment, by referring to the information of the temporary storage control bit and the temporary storage allowable time, the digital copy control information of each content indicates "copy prohibited". It is possible to control whether or not the accumulation is possible and the accumulation time thereof.

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

<Content output control>
Next, a specific example of the process of controlling the output of the content to the external device will be described below.

In the content usage control descriptor shown in FIG. 23, the "image_constraint_token" parameter is a resolution limiting bit, and indicates whether or not image quality limitation is required when the content is output to an external device. When the resolution limiting bit indicates that image quality limitation is required, the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment shall limit the image quality of the target content when outputting the target content to an external device. It should be noted that the image quality limitation may not be necessary when accumulating in the storage (accumulation) unit 110 or the like. The image quality limitation is, for example, converting received (or accumulated) UHD (7680 pixels × 4320 pixels) video content into SHD (3840 pixels × 2160 pixels) video and outputting it, or HD (1920 pixels × 1080). Pixel) video is converted into SD (640 pixels x 480 pixels) video and output. The extent to which the image quality of the target content is restricted, that is, the resolution of the image quality after the image quality restriction is specified, is specified by using a part or all of the "reserved_future_use" parameter of the digital content usage descriptor. You may do so.

Similar to the above, for example, a frame rate limit bit and a pixel resolution limit bit are prepared by using a part or all of the "reserved_future_use" parameter, and the frame rate limit and the pixel resolution limit are set when the content is output to an external device. It may be controlled. When the frame rate limiting bit indicates that the frame rate must be limited, the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment limits the frame rate of the target content when outputting the target content to an external device. Assumed to be performed. For example, video content having a frame rate of 120 Hz is converted to a frame rate of 60 Hz and output. When the pixel resolution limiting bit indicates that the pixel resolution needs to be limited, the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment of the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment outputs the target content to an external device for each pixel of the target content. The resolution shall be limited. For example, each pixel of the video content in which each pixel is composed of 12 bits is converted into 8 bits and output.

Further, a resolution limit control flag, a frame rate limit control flag, and a pixel resolution limit control flag are prepared by using a part or all of the "reserved_future_use" parameter, and the resolution limit control flag, the frame rate limit control flag, and the pixel are prepared. It may be possible to control whether or not the image quality limitation, the frame rate limitation, and the pixel resolution limitation are performed according to the resolution limitation control flag. For example, when the resolution limit control flag indicates that the resolution limit control is performed according to the interface specifications, if the interface that outputs the target content is equipped with the predetermined content protection technology, the image quality limit is not performed and the predetermined image quality is limited. If the content protection technology of the above is not provided, control may be performed so as to limit the image quality.

Specifically, for example, when the digital interface unit 125 is an HDMI interface and the target content is output to an external device connected to the HDMI interface, the HDMI interface of the external device is HDMI (High-bandwidth Digital). Content Protection) If version 2.2 or later is supported, the target content is output without the image quality restriction, and if the HDCP version of the HDMI interface of the external device is less than 2.2, the image quality restriction is performed. To output the target content. That is, depending on whether or not the interface that outputs the target content is equipped with a predetermined content protection technology, or if the interface is equipped with the content protection technology, it depends on the version of the content protection technology. , It suffices to control whether or not the image quality of the target content is restricted. When the resolution limit control flag does not indicate that the resolution limit control is performed according to the interface specifications, the presence or absence of the image quality limit may be controlled only by the resolution limit bit. The same processing may be performed for the frame rate limit control flag and the pixel resolution limit control flag.

In addition, the above-mentioned copy control information can be copied to an external device via the LAN communication unit 121 of the content indicating copy restrictions such as "only one generation can be copied", "predetermined multiple times can be copied", and "copy prohibited". Copy processing is possible only when the IP address of the external device that is the destination of the transmission packet from the broadcast receiving device 100 is within the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcasting receiving device 100, and the IP address of the external device is broadcast. If it is outside the same subnet as the IP address of the receiving device 100, it may be prohibited. The content whose copy control information is "unlimited copying is possible and encryption processing is required at the time of storage and output" may be handled in the same manner.

Similarly, the above-mentioned copy control information indicates copy restrictions such as "only one generation can be copied", "predetermined multiple times can be copied", "unlimited copying is possible and encryption processing is required at the time of storage and output". Once stored in the storage (storage) unit 110, the IP of the external device, which is the destination of the transmission packet from the broadcast receiving device 100, is also used for move processing, copy processing, etc. to the external device via the LAN communication unit 121. It is possible only when the address is in the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcast receiving device 100, and may be prohibited when the IP address of the external device is outside the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcast receiving device 100.

Further, in the viewing video output and audio output of the content stored in the storage (storage) unit 110 of the broadcast receiving device 100, in principle, the IP address of the external device which is the destination of the transmission packet from the broadcast receiving device 100 is used. It is possible only when it is in the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcast receiving device 100, and it is prohibited when the IP address of the external device is outside the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcast receiving device 100. However, the registration process as a device that is connected to the external device within the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcast receiving device 100 within a predetermined period and can be viewed even outside the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcast receiving device 100. In the case of a device that has been (paired), even if the IP address of the external device is outside the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcast receiving device 100, the storage (storage) of the broadcasting receiving device 100 in the external device is performed. ) It may be configured to enable viewing video output and audio output of the content stored in the unit 110. In this case, the video output and audio output for viewing are performed by encrypting the content.

However, the encryption process may be controlled according to the value of the "encryption_mode" parameter of the content utilization control descriptor shown in FIG. 23. That is, when the value of the "encryption_mode" parameter indicates that the output protection of the IP interface output is required, the encryption process is performed, and the output protection of the IP interface output is not required. The viewing video output and the audio output may be performed without performing the encryption process. When the value of the "encryption_mode" parameter indicates that the output protection of the IP interface output is required, the encryption process is performed by using a part or all of the "reserved_future_use" parameter of the content usage control descriptor. The IP address range of the external device capable of performing the viewing video output and the audio output may be specified without performing the above. That is, for a predetermined IP address, viewing video output and audio output can be performed even if the IP address is not in the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcast receiving device 100.

Further, the period during which the registration process (pairing) is valid may be specified by using a part or all of the "reserved_future_use" parameter of the content usage control descriptor. In this case, if the date and time when the registration process (pairing) of the external device is executed is within the specified period, even if the external device is outside the same subnet as the IP address of the broadcast receiving device 100, the external device is used. It may be controlled so that the video output for viewing and the audio output to the device are allowed and not allowed outside the specified period.

Further, the above-mentioned move processing, copy processing, output processing, etc. of the content to the external device via the LAN communication unit 121 may be controlled according to the value of the "remote_view_mode" parameter of the content usage control descriptor. .. That is, when the value of the "remote_view_mode" parameter does not allow remote viewing of the target content, all of the move processing, copy processing, output processing, etc. of the content to the external device via the LAN communication unit 121 are performed. It may be controlled to prohibit it.

According to the process described above, appropriate content protection can be realized even when the content is output to an external device.

<Content copy control exception handling 1>
In the data structure of the content copy control descriptor shown in FIG. 22A, the first digital copy control information (“digital_recording_control_data” parameter located immediately after “descriptor_length”) is copy generation control information regarding the entire content, and is the first. The second digital copy control information (“digital_recording_control_data” parameter located immediately after “component_tag”) is copy generation control information for each of the components constituting the content. It should be noted that the designation of each component shall be made by the "component_tag" parameter.

In the broadcasting system of this embodiment, when controlling the copy generation of the entire content (program), only the first digital copy control information is described in the content copy control descriptor, and the first digital copy is described. The copy generation is controlled by the control information. On the other hand, when controlling the copy generation for each component constituting the content, both the first digital copy control information and the second digital copy control information are described in the content copy control descriptor. Controls the copy generation. Further, when the copy generation is controlled for each component constituting the content, the description of the first digital copy control information described in the content copy control descriptor and the description of the second digital copy control information do not match. The situation is possible. In the above situation, the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment may perform the following operations.

First, in the first operation example, when the description of the first digital copy control information and the description of the second digital copy control information do not match, the copy generation control shown in the first digital copy control information It is a method of controlling so as to operate based on. In this case, simple copy generation control common to each component constituting the same content becomes possible.

Next, in the second operation example, when the description of the first digital copy control information and the description of the second digital copy control information do not match, the copy generation shown in the second digital copy control information It is a method of controlling so as to operate based on the control. In this case, even if the components constitute the same content, different copy generation control is possible for each component, that is, more precise copy generation control is possible.

Further, in the third operation example, when the description of the first digital copy control information and the description of the second digital copy control information do not match, the stricter condition of the two different digital copy control information is satisfied. This is a method of controlling the operation based on the digital copy control information. For example, if one is "unlimited copy possible" and the other is "only one generation can be copied", the information of "only one generation can be copied" is followed. Alternatively, if one is "copyable multiple times" and the other is "copy prohibited", the information of "copy prohibited" is followed. Alternatively, if both are "copyable multiple times", the information with the smaller number of copies specified separately is followed. In this case, stricter copy generation control becomes possible.

By performing the above processing, the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment can operate suitably even when two different digital copy control information is described in the content copy control descriptor.

<Content copy control exception handling 2>
As described with reference to FIG. 7A, in the digital broadcasting system supported by the broadcast receiving device 100 of the present embodiment, the route different from the data acquired in the TLV stream of the broadcasting route due to the location information in MPT (see FIG. 7C). The data acquired by (IPv4, IPv6, MPEG2-TS, URL, etc.) may also be included in the same package and the same event as the data acquired by the TLV stream, but at this time, the copy control information is included in the MPT or the like. Explain the content protection when it is.

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

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

In the digital broadcasting system of this embodiment, as a solution to this problem, the broadcast receiving device 100 may perform any of the following plurality of solutions.

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

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

In the case of this operation, the data acquired by a route other than the TLV stream can also be put into the copy state to be managed in the broadcasting system supported by the broadcasting receiving device 100 of this embodiment.

<Operation example 2>
In the second operation example, when copy control information is included in MPT or the like, and MPEG2-TS data transmitted by another digital broadcast signal is included in the data included in the same package and the same event in the location information, TLV. The copy control state indicated by the copy control information included in the stream is compared with the copy control state indicated by the copy control information included in MPEG2-TS, and the copy control state indicated by the copy control information included in MPEG2-TS is compared. If it is stricter than the copy control state indicated by the copy control information included in the TLV stream, the storage process in the storage (storage) unit 110 or the like, the recording process in the removable recording medium, or the output process from the digital interface is performed. At that time, it operates so as to exclude the MPEG2-TS data from the processing target content.

In the case of this operation, the data acquired by a route other than the TLV stream is copied on the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment while respecting the original copy control information set in the broadcasting system that transmits the data. It is possible to eliminate duplication of control states.

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

In the case of this operation, the data acquired by a route other than the TLV stream is copied on the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment while respecting the original copy control information set in the broadcasting system that transmits the data. It is possible to eliminate duplication of control states.

In the above description, the copyright protection function of the broadcast receiving device 100 of this embodiment has been described as being performed based on the copy control information included in the MPT. However, the table in which the copy control information is arranged is not limited to the MPT. In addition to the MPT, the MH-service description table (MH-SDT) and the MH-event information table (MH-EIT) described in FIG. 6B, or other tables are arranged for transmission, and the broadcast receiving device 100 conforms to these. Copyright protection processing may be performed.

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

The video synthesis unit 861 includes a video RAM (not shown), and the monitor unit 862 and the like are driven based on the video information and the like input to the video RAM. Further, the video compositing unit 861 performs scaling processing, superimposition processing of EPG screen information, and the like, if necessary, based on the control of the main control unit 801. The voice synthesis unit 164 inputs the voice information output from the MMT decoding processing unit 841 and the voice information output from the MPEG2-TS decoding processing unit 842, and appropriately selects and / or performs processing such as mixing.

The LAN communication unit 821 is connected to the Internet 200 via the router device 200r, and transmits / receives data to / from each server device and other communication devices on the Internet 200. Further, the MMT data string (or a part thereof) or the MPEG2-TS data string (or a part thereof) of the program transmitted via the communication line is acquired, and the MMT decoding processing unit 841 or the MPEG2-TS is appropriately obtained. Output to the decoding processing unit 842.

[Time display of broadcast receiver]
In the broadcast receiving device 800 of this embodiment, it is assumed that the current date and the current time can be displayed on the EPG screen, various setting screens, and the like. The information regarding the current date and the current time is transmitted by MH-TOT or the like in a broadcasting service that uses MMT as the media transport method, and MPEG- in a broadcasting service that uses MPEG2-TS as the media transport method. 2 It is transmitted by TOT (Time Offset Table) or the like provided in SI (Service Information) specified in the system. The broadcast receiving device 800 can acquire information on the current date and the current time by referring to the MH-TOT and the TOT.

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

However, since there are differences in the coding / decoding processing, transmission path, etc. between the broadcasting service that uses MMT as the media transport method and the broadcasting service that uses MPEG2-TS as the media transport method, the current time is displayed in particular. In the above, there is a possibility that inconsistency may occur between the selection of the broadcasting service adopting MMT as the media transport method and the selection of the broadcasting service adopting MPEG2-TS as the media transport method. For example, as shown in FIG. 25, the EPG screen 162g for displaying the channel information of the broadcasting service adopting MMT as the media transport method displays the channel information of the broadcasting service adopting MPEG2-TS as the media transport method. When the screen display is switched to the screen 162h, there is a possibility that the user may feel a visual discomfort due to the inconsistency caused by switching the current time display from the current time display 162g1 to the current time display 162h1.

In the broadcast receiving device 800 of the present embodiment, even when the video compositing unit 861 mainly selects the video information or the like output from the MMT decoding processing unit 841 in order to prevent the user from feeling a visual discomfort. , Information on the current date and the current time acquired from the TOT is controlled to be superimposed on the video information and the like. That is, the content of the broadcasting service that adopts MMT as the media transport method is controlled so as to superimpose the current time information provided by the broadcasting service that adopts MPEG2-TS as the media transport method.

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

Note that FIG. 26A shows an example of selection control of the current time information reference source according to the reception status of each broadcast service in the broadcast receiving device 800 of this embodiment. In the broadcast receiving device 800 of this embodiment, when the broadcasting service adopting MPEG2-TS as the media transport method can be received, the current time information is always acquired by referring to the TOT. , The MH-TOT only when the broadcasting service adopting MPEG2-TS as the media transport method cannot be received and the broadcasting service adopting MMT as the media transport method can be received. Control to get the current time information by referring to.

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

As described above, when controlling so as to superimpose the current time information provided by the broadcasting service adopting MPEG2-TS as the media transport method on the contents of the broadcasting service adopting MMT as the media transport method. In any case, when the content of the broadcasting service adopting MPEG2-TS as the media transport method is controlled so as to superimpose the current time information provided by the broadcasting service adopting MMT as the media transport method. Also in the above, the current time information can be corrected by referring to the "delta" parameter of the time information in the TMCC extended information area, as described in [Time management of broadcast receiving device] in the first embodiment. It is possible.

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

FIG. 26B shows an example of the update process of the current time information in the broadcast receiving device 800 of the present embodiment when receiving a broadcast service adopting MPEG2-TS as the media transport method. Even when receiving a broadcast service that employs MMT as the media transport method, the same processing as that shown in the figure can be performed.

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

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

By the above processing, when the broadcast receiving device 800 of the present embodiment determines that the MH-TOT or TOT acquired from the service being received has an error, the broadcast receiving device 800 may be from another broadcasting service of the same network or another. By acquiring MH-TOT or TOT from any broadcasting service of the network and referring to the current time information, it is possible to update the time information of the built-in clock.

If the current time information that the difference from the time information of the built-in clock is within the predetermined range cannot be acquired by repeating the processes of S304 to S305, such as at the time of initial setting after factory shipment, it is acquired by the process of S302. The time information of the built-in clock may be set again based on the current time information. By doing so, it is possible to deal with the case where there is an error in the time information side of the built-in clock of the broadcast receiving device 800 of this embodiment.

[EPG display of broadcast receiver]
Event schedule information of a broadcasting service that adopts MMT as a media transport method is transmitted by MH-EIT or the like. On the other hand, the event schedule information of the broadcasting service adopting MPEG2-TS as the media transport method is transmitted by EIT (Event Information Table) or the like provided in SI defined in the MPEG-2 system. Therefore, in general, when displaying video information or the like provided by a broadcasting service that uses MMT as the media transport method, event schedule information (MH-EIT) of the broadcasting service that uses MMT is displayed. ) Is available, and when displaying video information, etc. provided by a broadcasting service that uses MPEG2-TS as the media transport method, event schedule information of the broadcasting service that uses MPEG2-TS.
