1 is a schematic diagram of a broadcast signal test system according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1, the broadcast signal test apparatus 100 (hereinafter, referred to as a “test apparatus” in the “details of carrying out the invention” item) is a broadcast signal to be input to the broadcast receiver 300 through a cable. Can be received. Therefore, the test apparatus 100 may include an RF cable terminal for broadcast reception. Meanwhile, the broadcast receiver 300 receiving a broadcast signal and providing the same to a TV may be connected to the test apparatus 100, for example, by a coaxial cable 500. 1 illustrates an example in which the test apparatus 100 and the broadcast receiver 300 are connected in parallel to receive a broadcast signal, but the test apparatus 100 and the broadcast receiver 300 may be connected in series. It may be. That is, the RF cable is connected to the test device 100 so that the test device 100 receives a broadcast signal first, and transmits the broadcast signal received from the test device 100 to the broadcast receiver 300. Can also give

Meanwhile, the test apparatus 100 may perform wireless communication with a plurality of wireless terminals 400 to transmit and receive a predetermined control signal or data signal with the wireless terminal. In this case, the wireless communication may be performed in a Wi-Fi manner. The test device 300 may include a WLAN card for communicating with an access point that is separately installed, but the test device 100 may include an access point itself.

The control signal may include a test execution command for controlling the test apparatus 100 to perform a test on an input broadcast signal or a result of a test performed by the test apparatus 100 to the wireless terminal 400. A test result data transmission command for controlling to transmit may be included. Here, the test may be a test regarding the quality (eg, RF signal quality) of the broadcast signal provided by the broadcast receiver 300 to the TV.

The control signal may include a test profile, and the test profile may include at least one test parameter. Meanwhile, an embodiment in which the test profile is included in the test execution command described above and transmitted to the test apparatus 100 may exist. The test parameter refers to each input value required to perform a test, and examples thereof include a total test time, a test interval, and a list of broadcast channels to be tested. Accordingly, the test apparatus 100 may generate a test profile for testing the signal quality of the broadcast signal for channels 1, 2, and 3 every 1 second, for example, for a total of 1 minute. Can be sent to. However, the test profile is not necessarily required for the test. The test apparatus 100 may perform the test according to a predetermined test method without a test profile, which is obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art (hereinafter, referred to as a 'normal technician').

The test apparatus 100 includes a storage unit 150 for storing the test result data. When the test result data transmission commands are received from the plurality of terminals 400, the test apparatus 100 is provided to the storage unit 150. Since the stored data is transmitted to each of the plurality of terminals 400, all of the wireless terminals that transmit the test result data transmission command receive the same test result data. Therefore, there is a so-called N-Screen effect that a plurality of terminal holders share the same or similar test result screen. Since each of the wireless terminals 400 may have a different display size or input method, the output formats for the same test result data may be slightly different. In this case, each result is based on the same test result data. The screen is constructed.

Meanwhile, the test apparatus 100 may communicate with the remote server 200 through a communication network. The remote server 200 may transmit the control signal to the test apparatus 100 at a remote location and receive the test result data.

That is, the broadcast signal test system may mean a logical combination of hardware and / or software provided to implement the technical idea of the present invention. If necessary, the broadcast signal test system may be installed in devices spaced apart from each other to perform respective functions. It may be implemented as a set of logical configurations for implementing the technical idea of the present invention. In addition, the broadcast signal test system may mean a set of components separately implemented for each function or role for implementing the technical idea of the present invention.

2 is a diagram illustrating each step and a data flow of a broadcast signal test method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, first, when the first wireless terminal 400-1 sends a connection request to connect to a test apparatus 100 for testing a broadcast signal (S100), the test apparatus 100 transmits the first request. The first wireless terminal 400-1 is connected to the test apparatus 100 by transmitting a connection acceptance to the wireless terminal (S110). Meanwhile, before accepting the connection, the test device 100 may authenticate the first wireless terminal to accept the connection only for the authorized terminal (not shown). The terminal authentication may be device authentication (eg, MAC authentication using a MAC address of a wireless terminal or authentication using a unique number of a device) or user authentication (eg, authentication using an ID and a password). Meanwhile, the second wireless terminal 400-2 may also be connected to the test apparatus 100 through the same steps as the connection process of the first wireless terminal 400-1 (S120 and S130).

Accordingly, in the specific embodiment, the method may further include locking a test device that does not process the control device even when receiving the control signal and releasing the lock of the test device. The locking of the test device may be performed immediately after the test device 100 receives the control signal or when the test device 100 operates according to the control signal (for example, when the control signal is a test execution command). To store the test result, and if the control signal is a command for transmitting a test result, it is preferably performed immediately before performing the operation. The test apparatus 100 according to the control signal Preferably, the step of releasing the locking is performed immediately after finishing the operation. When the test device receives another control signal in the locked state, the test device 100 may ignore the received another control signal, but may transmit the control signal to itself (ie, the test terminal). 100) may be busy to send a response.

Then, the test device 100 stores the information of the first wireless terminal 400-1 in order to manage the list of connected wireless terminals (S320). Information stored in the first wireless terminal 400-1 may include an IP address, a MAC address, and other device identification information of the first wireless terminal. Thereafter, the second wireless terminal 400-2 and the third wireless terminal 400-3 also establish a connection in the same manner (S330, S340, S360, and S370). The test apparatus 100 further stores information of the second wireless terminal 400-2 and the third wireless terminal 400-3 for managing a list of connected wireless terminals (S350 and S380). In this embodiment, the test apparatus 100 may perform the above-described terminal authentication process before establishing a connection.

Subsequently, when the test apparatus 100 receives a test execution command from the second wireless terminal 400-2 (S390), the test apparatus 100 performs a test and stores the test result in the storage unit (S400). Then, the test apparatus transmits the test result data of the test to the first wireless terminal 400-1, the second wireless terminal 400-2, and the third wireless terminal 400-3 included in the list of connected wireless terminals. In operation S410, S430, and S450, the wireless terminals 400-1, 400-2, and 400-3 output the received test result data in operation S420, S440, and S460. In addition, as shown in Figure 3, if the remote server 200 is also connected to the test device 100 (S280, S290), after the test device 100 receives the test execution command The test apparatus 100 may transmit the test result data to the remote server 200 as well as the first to third wireless terminals (S470).

It is made (S510). Then, the remote server 200 analyzes the received test result to determine the state of the broadcast signal input to the test apparatus 100 (ie, whether the broadcast signal is normal or abnormal), and if abnormal After identifying the cause and the solution, the broadcast signal state information and the repair operation information are generated (S520). Here, the analysis of the test results may include, for example, whether the test result has a specific signal pattern, what frequency range is the signal included in the test result, or what percentage of the signal can be regarded as an error? It may be to determine. In addition, in a particular embodiment, the remote server 200 may search the database for a solution that matches the analyzed result, and generate it as repair work information. Thereafter, the remote server 200 transmits the generated broadcast signal state information or repair work information to the wireless terminal 200 (S530), and the wireless terminal transmits the received broadcast signal state information or repair work information. It can be output to the screen (S540).

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the repairman possessing the wireless terminal 400 does not need to move to a remote place to analyze the collected data, and may receive an appropriate repair measure immediately after the test.
