Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of selecting a broadcast channel of a digital Television (TV) and, more particularly, to a method of selecting a broadcast channel of a digital TV, which enables a TV viewer to quickly and easily select a broadcast channel.
  • TV digital Television
  • the viewer directly selects the broadcast channel that is desired to be selected by pressing the corresponding broadcast channel number through the manipulation of the number buttons of a remote control, or searches for the broadcast channel that is desired to be selected by changing channels one by one in the sequence of broadcast channel numbers through the manipulation of broadcast channel change buttons, such as a channel up (+) button and a channel down (-) button.
  • a typical method of selecting a broadcast channel of a digital TV using content data is performed in such a way that, when a viewer enters a specific search keyword through an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) by manipulating a remote control, the channel management module of set-top box middleware searches for channels each having content including the corresponding search keyword, notifies the viewer of the content of the found channels, and waits for channel manipulation (channel up/down, PVR recording or the like).
  • EPG Electronic Program Guide
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a method of selecting a broadcast channel of a digital TV, which enables a viewer to quickly search for the broadcast channel desired to be selected through the simple manipulation of a remote control.
  • the present invention provides a method of selecting a broadcast channel of a digital TV, the method causing broadcast channels to be changed one by one in the sequence of broadcast channel numbers when one of the broadcast channel change buttons of a remote control is pressed, the method including determining whether a broadcast channel change button pressing time is greater than a setting time when the broadcast channel change button is pressed, changing the broadcast channels one by one in the sequence of the broadcast channel numbers if it is determined that the broadcast channel change button pressing time is not greater than the setting time, and changing a current broadcast channel to the hub channel of a category corresponding to a genre that is closest to the genre of the current broadcast channel if it is determined that the broadcast channel change button pressing time is greater than the setting time.
  • broadcast channels are sequentially changed one by one in the sequence of broadcast channel numbers when the broadcast channel change button is pressed briefly, and the current broadcast channel is changed to the hub channel of a category corresponding to the genre that is closest to the genre of the current broadcast channel, when the broadcast channel change button is pressed and held down, so that the broadcast channel can be easily and quickly selected, therefore a viewer's convenience of use can be greatly improved.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagram showing categories of broadcast channels for respective genres.
  • FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of changing a broadcast channel according to the present invention. Mode for the Invention
  • categories are formed by classifying broadcast channels according to genre.

  • the present invention is not limited thereto, and may arbitrarily classify genres in various ways as needed.
  • broadcast channel numbers are sequentially set such that it is convenient to classify the broadcast channels according to genre
  • the present invention is not limited thereto, and the broadcast channel numbers may be arbitrarily set in various ways regardless of the sequence thereof.
  • a method of selecting a broadcast channel of a digital TV according to the present invention is characterized in that whether a broadcast channel change button pressing time is greater than a setting time is determined when a broadcast channel change button is pressed, the broadcast channel is changed one by one in the sequence of the broadcast channel numbers if it is determined that the broadcast channel change button pressing time is not greater than the setting time, and the current broadcast channel is changed to the hub channel of the category corresponding to the genre that is closest to the genre of the current broadcast channel if it is determined that broadcast channel change button pressing time is greater than the setting time.
  • the setting time is appropriately set such that the short pressing time is easily distinguished from the long pressing time.
  • the broadcast channel which belongs to the set of broadcast channels for each genre and has the lowest channel number, is set as the hub channel, as shown in FIG. 1, the present invention is not limited thereto, and any specific broadcast channel may be set as the hub channel.
  • each broadcast provider will desire that its broadcast channel be set as the hub channel (in the case of the hub channel, priority is given thereto when the broadcast channel is selected from among broadcast channels for each genre, so that the awareness and viewing rate of the selected broadcast channel will naturally increase if the broadcast channel is set as the hub channel), so that broadcast transmission providers can generate business profits merely by acquiring the right to be set as the hub channel.
  • the current broadcast channel is changed to the hub channel of broadcast channels for a subsequent genre when the channel up (+) button, which is one of the broadcast channel change buttons, is pressed and held down for longer than the setting time, and the current broadcast channel is changed to the hub channel of broadcast channels for the current genre when the channel down (-) button, which is another of the broadcast channel change buttons, is pressed and held down for longer than the setting time.
  • the current broadcast channel is changed, as described above, to the hub channel of broadcast channels for the next genre when the channel up (+) button is pressed and held down for longer than the setting time, whereas the current broadcast channel is changed to the hub channel of broadcast channels for the previous genre when the channel down (-) button is pressed and held down for longer than the setting time.
  • the current broadcast channel is the channel 102 of a home shopping genre
  • the new channel desired to be selected is the channel 303 of a drama genre
  • quick and easy channel selection is performed such that the channel is changed from the channel 102, which is the current broadcast channel, to the channel 302 of the drama genre when the channel up (+) button is pressed and held down two times (the current broadcast channel is changed to the movie hub channel 201 when the channel up (+) button is pressed and held down one time, and the current broadcast channel is changed to the drama hub channel 301 when the channel up (+) button is pressed and held down two times) and the channel up (+) button is pressed briefly two times.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de sélection d'un canal de diffusion d'une télévision (TV) numérique. Les canaux de diffusion sont changés un par un de manière séquentielle en une séquence de numéros de canaux de diffusion lorsque la touche de changement de canal de diffusion est brièvement enfoncée, et le canal de diffusion en cours est changé pour le canal central d'une catégorie correspondant au genre le plus proche du canal de diffusion en cours lorsque la touche de changement de canal de diffusion est maintenue enfoncée, de sorte que le canal de diffusion puisse être facilement et rapidement sélectionné, d'où une amélioration considérable du confort d'utilisation pour un utilisateur.
