Description

Broadcast receiver with KBPS module test function

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a broadcast receiving apparatus such as a TV or a VCR employing a Korean Broadcasting Program System (KBPS), and more particularly, The present invention relates to a broadcast receiving apparatus having a KBPS module test function that enables easy determination and confirmation of normal operation of a broadcast receiving apparatus.

Recently, a Korean simple reservation recording system (hereinafter referred to as KBPS) has been developed jointly with domestic companies. This is because the broadcast receiving apparatus capable of receiving a broadcast program such as a TV or a VCR can receive a broadcast program more conveniently by a user, and the KBPS data related to a program title, a broadcast time, The user receives the KBPS data transmitted from each broadcasting station, stores the received KBPS data in the memory, and performs the reservation function or the viewing function using the KBPS data stored in the memory. That is, each broadcasting station receives and stores the KBPS data such as title and broadcasting time of broadcasting programs to be transmitted together with the broadcasting program, and displays the stored KBPS data on the screen so that the user can select a desired broadcasting program, The channel switching is automatically performed in accordance with the broadcasting start time in the KBPS data of the broadcasting program selected by the user so that a desired broadcasting program can be viewed or recorded.

However, conventionally, since the KBPS data may be transmitted from a radio wave deviation or a real broadcasting station, it is difficult to judge whether or not the KBPS module performs normal operation or to confirm it on the product production process and after service (A / S) .

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for storing a test data similar to KBPS data transmittable in each broadcasting station in advance so as to solve the above-described problem, simulate test data stored in the KBPS module test mode, And a KBPS module test function that enables a user to check and display an image on a screen.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a broadcast receiving apparatus having a KBPS module test function, the apparatus comprising: a KBPS module for testing a KBPS module in a product production process or an after-service service of a broadcast receiving device having a KBPS function, A key input unit for inputting a key input signal for testing a KBPS module, and an arbitrary function command for testing a KBPS module by receiving the key input signal, A microcomputer for determining the operation state of the KBPS module with respect to the function command, a KBPS function for performing a KBPS function, reading data stored in the storage unit according to a function command applied from the microcomputer, Module, and a display unit for displaying a test result of the KBPS module of the microcomputer.

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

1 is a block diagram of a broadcast receiving apparatus having a KBPS module test function according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the apparatus of the present invention includes a KBPS module 13, a storage unit 14 for previously storing arbitrary data similar to KBPS data of each broadcasting station for testing whether the KBPS module 13 operates normally, . In addition, a key input unit 11 for applying a key input signal for a KBPS module test, a test for each functional block of the KBPS module 13 through a communication between the key input signal and the KBPS module 13 And a microcomputer 12 for performing the operation. The microcomputer 12 is connected to a display unit 15 for displaying a test screen for the KBPS module 13.

The operation of the broadcast receiving apparatus having the KBPS module testing function of the present invention constructed as above will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

FIG. 2 is a state diagram showing a KBPS module test screen displayed on the display unit 15 of the apparatus of FIG.

First, in the storage unit 14, KBPSs similar to the KBPS data that can be transmitted from each broadcasting station (for example, broadcasting station equipment failure, broadcasting station name, ID of a broadcasting program, title, broadcast start time and end time, Any suitable data that can be used to test the normal operation of the module is pre-stored. On the other hand, when the user inputs a key input signal for testing the KBPS module through the key input unit 11 on the product manufacturing process or the after service (A / S), the microcomputer 12, receiving the key input signal, . On the KBPS module test mode, the microcomputer 12 applies certain commands to the KBPS module 13 to test the overall characteristics of each functional block in the KBPS module 13. [ In the KBPS module 13, the operation corresponding to the commands applied from the microcomputer 12 is performed by receiving the actual KBPS data using the arbitrary data stored in the storage unit 14 and operating in the same manner. The microcomputer 12 recognizes the test results such as the reception status and communication status of the KBPS data of the KBPS module 13 and displays the result on the display unit 15 as shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 2, the KBPS module test screen displays a broadcast station name, a broadcast program ID code, a broadcasting station time, a corresponding channel, a communication code, and a data monitor. Thus, the user can easily check and confirm the operation state of the KBPS module by viewing the KBPS module test screen displayed on the display unit 15. [

As described above, the present invention relates to a broadcast receiving apparatus having a KBPS module test function, and is capable of detecting the normal state of a KBPS module using actual KBPS data of a broadcast station on a product production process of a TV, a VCR, It is possible to test the normal operation of the KBPS module by using the data at any time by storing arbitrary data similar to the actual KBPS data in comparison with the prior art in which the operation is judged and confirmed, It is possible to easily recognize whether the KBPS module is operating normally by displaying it on the screen.
