Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for displaying schedule information with a simple channel image on a television screen through digital broadcasting is provided to display a pilot banner or an EPG(Electronic Program Guide) with at least more than one simple channel image for displaying broadcasting screens of each channel, thereby enabling viewers to easily search the channels through the displayed simple channel image. CONSTITUTION: A delivery server(20) of a broadcasting station inputs image data in accordance with each channel. A screen generator(40) of the delivery server(20) captures the inputted image data, generates simple channel data, and transmits the generated simple channel data to a transmitter(30). The transmitter(30) transmits the received simple channel data with schedule data(22) of a broadcasting program to a set top box(10). The set top box(10) decodes the received simple channel data as processing the data in graphics, and reproduces the simple channel data as a simple channel image. The set top box(10) synthesizes the simple channel image with the schedule data(22), and displays the schedule data(22) with the simple channel image on a screen.

Description

디지털 방송상에서 스케쥴 정보를 간이 채널 이미지와 병기하여 텔레비젼 화면에 표시하는 방법{Method for displaying schedule information on television screen with thumbnail channel image on digital broadcasting}Method for displaying schedule information on television screen with thumbnail channel image on digital broadcasting}

본 발명은 디지털 방송에 있어서, 방송 프로그램에 관한 스케쥴 정보를 간이 채널 이미지와 병기하여 표시하는 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method of displaying schedule information related to a broadcast program in parallel with a simple channel image in digital broadcasting.

일반적으로, 디지털 방송에서는 아날로그 방송과 달리 시청자가 방영되고 있는 텔레비젼 프로그램과 관련한 다양한 정보를 함께 얻을 수 있다. 이는 방송국에서 방송 프로그램을 구성하는 영상과 음성에 관한 데이터(이하, '영상/음성 데이터'라함) 뿐만 아니라, 상기 방송 프로그램과 관련한 다양한 정보에 관한 데이터(이하, '정보 데이터'라함)를 함께 전송하기 때문이며, 시청자는 디지털 방송 신호의 수신과 재생기능을 가지고 있는 디지털 방송용 셋탑박스와 텔레비젼 또는 이러한 셋탑박스가 내장된 텔레비젼을 구비하여 위와 같은 디지털 방송을 시청할 수 있게 된다.In general, in digital broadcasting, unlike analog broadcasting, a variety of information related to a television program being broadcasted can be obtained together. The broadcast station transmits not only data related to video and audio constituting a broadcast program (hereinafter referred to as 'video / audio data') but also data related to various information related to the broadcast program (hereinafter referred to as 'information data'). For this reason, the viewer may be provided with a digital broadcast set-top box and a television having a function of receiving and playing digital broadcast signals, or a television having such a set-top box, so that the viewer can watch the digital broadcast as described above.

이때, 상기 방송 프로그램과 관련한 다양한 정보에 관한 데이터, 즉, 정보 데이터로서 송신되는 데이터 중에는 각 방송국별 또는 채널별로 방영되는 방송 프로그램에 관한 프로그램 제목과 간단한 내용, 방영되는 시간 등의 정보를 가진 스케쥴 데이터가 포함되는데, 상기 스케쥴 데이터는 미리 설정된 시간 간격으로 디지털 방송용 셋탑박스에 수신되어 소정의 메모리 블럭에 저장되고, 저장된 상기 스케쥴 데이터는 셋탑박스 내에서 그래픽 처리되어 텔레비젼 화면에서 표시되어 사용자에 의해 특정의 채널을 선택하는데 이용될 뿐만 아니라, 사용자의 시간대별, 또는 채널별로 다수의 프로그램 정보를 검색할 경우에 이용된다.In this case, among the data related to the various information related to the broadcast program, that is, the data transmitted as the information data, schedule data having information such as a program title and a brief description of the broadcast program that is broadcast by each broadcasting station or channel, and the time of the broadcast The schedule data is received in the set-top box for digital broadcasting at predetermined time intervals and stored in a predetermined memory block, and the stored schedule data is graphically processed in the set-top box and displayed on a television screen to be specified by a user. It is used not only to select a channel but also to retrieve a plurality of program information by time zone or channel of a user.

상기 스케쥴 데이터가 텔레비젼 화면에 표시되는 방식으로서는 전자 프로그램 가이드(Electronic Program Guide, 통상 '이피지'로 불리움), 파일롯 배너(Pilot Banner) 등을 들 수 있다. 도 4 는 위 파일롯 배너를 이용한 종래의 스케쥴 데이터의 표시 방식을 나타내고 있는데, 도시한 바와 같이 텔레비젼 화면(5)의 하단에 배치된 배너부(40) 내부에 채널 번호(41), 방영 프로그램의 제목(42), 방영시간(43), 타 채널의 검색을 위한 상하 화살표(44), 그 채널이 가진 각 시간대별 방영 프로그램의 제목을 검색하기 위한 좌우 화살표(45)등이 표시된다.Examples of the way in which the schedule data are displayed on the television screen include an electronic program guide (Pilot), a pilot banner, and the like. 4 shows a conventional method of displaying schedule data using the pilot banner. As shown in the drawing, the channel number 41 and the title of the broadcast program are displayed in the banner 40 disposed at the bottom of the television screen 5. (42), the airing time 43, the up and down arrows 44 for searching for other channels, and the left and right arrows 45 for searching for the title of the airtime program for each time zone of the channel are displayed.

한편, 상기와 같은 스케쥴 데이터가 디지털 방송용 셋탑박스에서 처리되어 텔레비젼 화면에 표시되는 과정을 도 5 를 참조하여 설명한다. 도 5 는 종래의 셋탑박스를 통하여 스케쥴 정보가 텔레비젼 화면에 표시되는 과정을 설명하는 도면이다.Meanwhile, a process in which the above schedule data is processed in the digital broadcasting set-top box and displayed on the television screen will be described with reference to FIG. 5. 5 is a diagram illustrating a process of displaying schedule information on a television screen through a conventional set-top box.

도 5 에 도시된 바와 같이 방송국의 송신 서버(20)는 영상/음성 데이터(21)와 스케쥴 데이터(22)를 입력받고 이를 송신기(30)에 전달한다. 송신기(30)는 소정 방식의 디지털 변조를 통하여 패킷 단위의 비트 스트림 형태의 디지털 방송신호를 생성하여 이를 디지털 방송용 셋탑박스(10)로 송신하면, 셋탑박스(10)의 수신부(11)를 통하여 패킷 단위로 비트 스트림화된 형태의 디지털 방송신호가 수신되고, 역다중화부(12)를 통하여 수신된 방송신호중에서 시청자가 선택한 채널의 방송신호가 추출되며, 추출된 방송신호중 영상/음성 데이터(21)는 영상과 음성의 압축을 위한 표준방식인 MPEG(Moving Picture Export Group phase)방식으로 영상/음성 디코딩부(13) 에서 디코딩(Decoding)되고, 스케쥴 데이터(22)는 전술한 바와 같은 정보 데이터의 한 종류 이므로 정보 데이터들을 디코딩하는 정보 디코딩부(14)에서 디코딩된다. 그리고, 그래픽 처리부(15)는 상기 디코딩된 영상 데이터와 스케쥴 데이터를 합성하여 그래픽 처리하여 텔레비젼의 모니터나 LCD 같은 디스플레이 장치(50)로 표시한다.As shown in FIG. 5, the transmission server 20 of the broadcasting station receives the video / audio data 21 and the schedule data 22 and transmits them to the transmitter 30. When the transmitter 30 generates a digital broadcast signal in the form of a bit stream in a packet unit through a digital modulation of a predetermined scheme and transmits the digital broadcast signal to the set-top box 10 for digital broadcasting, the transmitter 30 receives the packet through the receiver 11 of the set-top box 10. A digital broadcast signal in the form of a bit stream is received in units, and a broadcast signal of a channel selected by a viewer is extracted from the broadcast signals received through the demultiplexer 12, and the video / audio data 21 of the extracted broadcast signals is extracted. Is decoded by the video / audio decoding unit 13 in a moving picture export group phase (MPEG) method, which is a standard method for compressing video and audio, and the schedule data 22 is one of the information data as described above. Since it is a kind, it is decoded by the information decoding unit 14 for decoding the information data. The graphic processor 15 synthesizes the decoded image data and the schedule data and performs graphic processing to display the same on a display device 50 such as a television monitor or LCD.

그러나, 위와 같이 표시되는 스케쥴 데이터의 표시방법, 즉, 종래와 같은 파일롯 배너나 이피지를 이용한 스케쥴 데이터의 표시는 각 화면의 정보가 텍스트 위주로 표시되어 단조로와 시청자의 흥미를 반감시키는 단점이 있으며, 또한, 수십개에서 수백개에 이르는 각각의 채널들의 스케쥴 정보가 텍스트 방식으로만 표시되어 프로그램의 내용을 시청자에게 일목 요연하게 전달하는데는 한계가 있는 실정이다.However, the method of displaying the schedule data displayed as described above, that is, the display of the schedule data using a pilot banner or an easy-to-use page as described above has a disadvantage in that the information of each screen is displayed mainly in text and thus halves the interest of the viewer and forging. In addition, the schedule information of each of dozens to hundreds of channels is displayed only in a text manner, and thus there is a limit in clearly delivering the contents of the program to viewers.

상기와 같은 종래의 문제점을 해소하기 위한 본 발명의 목적은, 상기와 같은 종래의 파일롯 배너 또는 이피지에 각 채널의 방송 화면을 표시하는 간이 채널 이미지를 적어도 하나 이상 병기하여 표시함으로써, 시청자가 간이 채널 이미지를 통하여 각 채널들의 신속한 검색을 용이하게 할 수 있게 함과 동시에, 시청의 흥미를 제고할 수 있게 하는 방송 프로그램에 관한 스케쥴 정보를 간이 채널 이미지와 병기하여 표시하는 방법을 제공함에 있다.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention for solving the above-described conventional problems is that a viewer can easily display a simple channel image by displaying at least one simple channel image for displaying a broadcast screen of each channel on the conventional pilot banner or pidji. The present invention provides a method of facilitating a quick search of each channel through an image and simultaneously displaying schedule information about a broadcast program that can enhance viewing interest along with a simple channel image.
