Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an F / F having a function of receiving an FM teletext and displaying the received text information.
The present invention relates to an M-text multiplex broadcast receiving apparatus, and more particularly to an FM-text multiplex broadcast receiving apparatus having a function of displaying the reception progress status of each program.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FM text multiplex broadcasting, in which character data of a large number of programs are time-division multiplexed and broadcast in page units for each broadcasting station, displays news, weather forecast, traffic information, and the like in page units on a receiving device side. It is possible and has recently begun to spread.

[0003] For example, a broadcast for a receiver having a small screen by the FM text multiplex broadcasting described above is composed of up to 256 programs, and each program is composed of up to 62 pages. Thus, one page corresponds to one screen of character data. The page is divided into packets and broadcast.

FIG. 20 shows a certain broadcasting station (a certain broadcasting frequency).
FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically illustrating the state of each page of each program broadcasted by the program. As shown in the figure, each program is divided into pages, and the pages of each program are alternately broadcasted.From broadcasting the first page of a certain program to broadcasting the last page, Usually, it takes about 1 to 5 minutes. This program broadcasts the same content from the beginning after the last page has been broadcast, and after repeating the same information several times, the information is updated (specific page Update or program unit update).

FIG. 21 shows a certain broadcasting station (a certain broadcasting frequency).
FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing a relationship between programs of, for example, a service level 1 broadcasted by the user. As shown in the figure, each program has a tree-like structure based on the total table of contents of the program number "0". For example, by tracing the total table, the table of contents program B, the program B-2, and the program β in this order. , So that a desired program can be selected. FIG. 22 is a diagram schematically illustrating a specific example of the relationship between such programs.

[0006] The above-mentioned FM text multiplex broadcasting standard (Official Gazette No. 164, August 25, 1994 and the Broadcasting Technology Development Council "BTA R-002 Operational confirmation items for FM multiplex broadcasting") ) Specifies a method for displaying the result of decoding the received information, but does not specify a method for displaying information independently edited by the receiving device. In other words, there is no regulation on the method of outputting information such as the reception status of a program edited independently by the receiving device.

[0007] By the way, among current commercially available receiving apparatuses for FM teletext broadcasting, as a piece of information independently edited by the receiving apparatus, a program table including a program name and a selection number thereof, or a currently displayed page. In addition to the contents described above, a page number being displayed and the total number of pages of the program are displayed. However, no consideration has been given to displaying the reception progress status or the like of a program independently edited by the receiving device.

[0008]

As described above, in the conventional receiving apparatus for FM text multiplex broadcasting, the reception progress of each program is not displayed. Therefore, there is a problem that it is impossible to determine whether a program to be watched can be immediately specified or whether the user has to wait for a while for a while.

[0009] Further, some programs have a broadcast content that makes sense only when the pages are continuous (for example, a hit chart ranking or a short story). Was sometimes shown to a page whose meaning was unknown.

Furthermore, there is another problem that the same information is shown many times because the read information is not displayed.

[0011] The present invention has been made in view of the above points,
An object of the present invention is to realize an FM text multiplex broadcast receiving apparatus which is easy to use for a user by displaying the reception progress of a program, information update time of a program, presence of an unread page, and the like. .

It is a figure which shows the 9th example and the 10th example of the program table displayed on the display part 8 of the text multiplex broadcast receiving apparatus, and shows the display which shows an unreceived page / unread page / read page in association with the program name. This is an example in which it is performed. 16 and 17, reference numerals 12 and 13 denote the above-described program numbers and program names, respectively.
Reference numeral 19 denotes a display of an unreceived page / unread page / read page.

In the example of FIG. 16, the display 19 of the unreceived page / unread page / read page indicates "unreceived" when the program has no received page, and displays the received page in the program. Is "unread" if the message is completely unread or partially unread, and "read" is displayed if all of the received pages in the program have been read.

By performing such display 19, it is possible to know whether there is a received page in a certain program and whether there is an unread page in the received page. If it does not exist, there is no need for users to search for unread pages in the program,
When new information (page) is received, it can be immediately recognized.

In the example of FIG. 17, as the display 19 of the unreceived page / unread page / read page, the number of cells for each program is the maximum number according to the standard or the total number of pages, and the filled cells are the read pages. The grid with dots is displayed as an unread page, and the grid with white is displayed as an unreceived page.

When the display 19 of FIG. 17 is performed, in addition to the effect of the example of FIG. 16, the number of unread pages can be known, and the range of selection of the user such as “Let's wait a little longer” can be widened.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an example of a process for checking whether or not there is an unread page among pages constituting each program. In order to realize this processing, it is necessary to record that a certain page is not displayed when it is received, and to record that it is displayed when it is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 18A, the process is first executed from step F16. Processes F16, F17, and F19 are:
The processing is the same as the processing described in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 18B, the process F39
Then, the page number of interest is set to “1”, and the unread page number counter is set to “0”. In the process F23, it is checked whether or not the page has been received. If the page has been received, the processes F40 and F41 are performed. In a process F40, it is checked whether or not the page has been displayed, and if not, "1" is added to the unread page number counter in a process F41. Then, in the process F25, attention is paid to the next page.
In the process F26, it is determined whether or not all the pages have been checked. If so, the process proceeds to the process F19. If not, the process F23 and the subsequent steps are repeated.

FIG. 19 shows the contents of a certain page of a certain program displayed on the display unit 8 of the FM text multiplex broadcast receiving apparatus of the present embodiment, the reception progress of the program including the displayed page, and FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example in which information indicating the presence of an unread page is displayed in association with the information.

In the example shown in FIG. 19, the display 20 of the above-mentioned unreceived page / unread page / read page shown in FIG.
The currently displayed page number is displayed by an arrow 21. The current display page number may be indicated by a numeral, another emphasis mark, or a modified display.

Immediately after the start of FM teletext broadcast reception, only pages in the middle of the program are partially received, but when the user selects the program, the pages received even in the middle are displayed. It is customary to display it. But,
In the prior art, since the user could not know the reception status of pages other than the display page, it was not possible to know when to turn the page. In contrast, FIG.
In the display of No. 9, since the reception status of each page of the program is known, if the first page is received, the user can watch the program from the beginning, and if the next page of the display page is received, The user can turn the page.

[0060]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the reception progress status for each program can be listed, the user can select the display in order from the program whose reception has been completed, and the user can take time and effort. You can see all information efficiently without adding In addition, since the reception progress status of each program and the continuation status of the reception completion page can be listed, the user can select a program whose reception is further advanced or a program whose pages are continuous. Further, the reception time of the program is known, and the user can estimate the degree of the new and old information of the program from the reception time and the current time. Similarly, since the elapsed time after receiving the program is known, it is possible to know the degree of new or old of the information of the program. In addition, users can know the existence of unread pages at a glance without searching around, so they can recognize new information as soon as it is received, and obtain information more quickly than in the conventional case of searching around Can be. Furthermore, since the reception status of pages other than the display page can be easily grasped, the page scroll operation can be performed accurately. In general, it is possible to realize a user-friendly FM text multiplex broadcast receiving apparatus by displaying the reception progress of a program, information update time of a program, presence of an unread page, and the like.
Its value is enormous.
