In addition, as shown in Figure 2, the digital camera 4 is provided so that the memory integrated circuit card (5) can be mounted and detached, the digital camera 4 compresses the photographed picture data to the memory integrated It is supposed to be stored in the circuit card 5. Further, as described above, the photo data stored in the memory integrated circuit card 5 can be read and reprocessed by the personal computer 6.

However, memory integrated circuit cards used in MP3 players, digital cameras, and the like as described above have a problem in that direct connection with the Internet is impossible. In other words, MP3 players or digital cameras must be used as a medium.

In addition, since the memory integrated circuit card is manufactured in a standard suitable for a corresponding product, there is a problem that it cannot be applied to other products. That is, the memory integrated circuit card may be classified into a smart media card, a multimedia card, a memory stick, and the like according to its type, and each of the memory integrated circuit cards may have a different specification for each manufacturer.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide an Internet television set-top box that can store information obtained through internet communication directly into a memory integrated circuit card of various standards. have.

The Internet television set-top box according to the present invention for achieving the above object, in the Internet television set-top box that is capable of Internet communication using a television, the memory integrated circuit of different standards on one side of the set-top box While at least two cards are provided with a card mounting unit, the set-top box driving circuit includes a storage and reading unit for storing or reading data in a memory integrated circuit card mounted at the card mounting unit, and the Internet according to a user's operation. And a control unit for controlling the storage and reading unit to store the data downloaded through the communication in the memory integrated circuit card or to read the data stored in the memory integrated circuit card.

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

3 is a schematic diagram of an Internet television set-top box according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a set-top box driving circuit according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the Internet television set-top box 20 according to the present invention is connected to the television 10 by wire and wirelessly connected to the remote controller 40. At this time, the remote controller 40 is composed of a remote control, a wireless keyboard, a wireless mouse.

In addition, one side of the set-top box 20 includes all kinds of memory integrated circuit cards having different standards, for example, memory integrated circuit cards having different standards such as smart media cards, multimedia cards, and memory sticks. The mounting part 30 which can be mounted is provided.

Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the set top box driving circuit includes a receiver 21, a controller 22, a communication module 23, a television encoder 24, a detector 25, and a storage and readout unit 26. ) Is configured to include.

The receiving unit 21 receives an operation signal input by a user by operating the remote controller 40 and inputs it to the control unit 22, and the control unit 22 transmits the communication module 23 according to the operation signal. And perform Internet communication via the Internet 50.

The television encoder 24 is configured to convert digital data received through the Internet communication or digital data output from the storage and reading unit 26 into an analog television signal for display on the television 10. The reading unit 26 stores the digital data received through the Internet communication in the memory integrated circuit card mounted in the card mounting unit 30 or stores the digital data stored in the memory integrated circuit card under the control of the controller 22. It reads and outputs.

In addition, the detection unit 25 detects which memory integrated circuit card is mounted in the mounting unit 30 and inputs it to the control unit 22.

That is, the memory integrated circuit card has a different type, for example, a smart media card, a multimedia card, a memory stick, and the like. Therefore, when the smart media card is mounted in the mounting unit 30, the detection unit 25 detects it and inputs it to the control unit 22 as an electric signal, and the multimedia card or the memory stick is the same as described above. It is possible to distinguish the memory integrated circuit card mounted by the method.

The operation and effects of the Internet television set-top box according to the present invention configured as described above are described in detail.

When the user commands the remote controller 40 to communicate with the Internet, the receiving unit 21 receives the output and outputs it to the control unit 22, and the control unit 22 transmits the communication module 23 and the Internet 50. Perform internet communication.

At this time, the control unit 22 outputs the digital data received through the communication module 23 to the television encoder 24, the television encoder 24 converts the digital data into an analog television signal to the television 10 Display on.

In addition, when the user commands the download by operating the remote controller 40 while performing the Internet communication as described above, the receiving unit 21 receives it and outputs it to the control unit 22, and stores the data received through the Internet communication And input to the reading section 26, and the storage and reading section 26 stores the received data in the memory integrated circuit card.

On the other hand, when a user manipulates the remote controller 40 to input a playback command, the reception unit 21 receives the output command and outputs it to the control unit 22, and the control unit 22 controls the storage and reading unit 26. The data stored in the memory integrated circuit card is read out and output to the television encoder 24. The television encoder 24 converts the read data into an analog television signal for display on the television 10.

As described above, according to the present invention, not only the information obtained through Internet communication can be stored in a memory integrated circuit card of various standards, but also the data stored in the memory integrated circuit card can be read and displayed on a television. have.
