Description

SINGLE CONNECTOR AND DEVICE ASSEMBLY FOR PROVIDING COMBINED TERRESTRIAL AND SATELLITE CONTENT
The present invention relates to a single connector and device assembly for providing combined terrestrial and satellite content to the user.
It is well-known that while a satellite dish and a Low Noise Block (LNB) system is used to receive broadcasts from satellites, a second antenna is used to receive Digital Video Broadcasts (DVB). In order to transmit these two distinct broadcasts to the same device, two different antennae are required. While the satellite antenna is always positioned outside of the house (roof, windowsill, balcony, etc.); antennae for DVB signals can be positioned inside or outside of the house.
Among others, a prior art publication in the technical field of the invention may be referred to as US2013332967, which discloses a signal reception assembly comprising a housing configured to support receipt and handling of a plurality of signals, including signals from different sources. The different sources may correspond to satellite and non-satellite (e.g., terrestrial) broadcasts. The signal reception assembly may comprise a satellite reception assembly. The housing may comprise circuitry incorporating an integrated stacking architecture for supporting and/or providing channel and/or band stacking whereby particular channels or bands, from satellite signals that are received via a satellite capturing component (e.g., satellite dish) and from terrestrial signals that are received via a terrestrial reception component (e.g., diversity terrestrial antenna), may be combined onto a single output signal that may be communicated from the signal reception assembly to a gateway device (e.g., STB). Another prior art may be referred to as US6211844.
The present state of the art can be considered disadvantageous because of the added cost of a second antenna and the time consuming set-up and configuration process of the device.
The present invention, on the other hand, provides a system wherein satellite and terrestrial broadcasts can be transmitted to the receiver and processed using a single connector.
The present invention provides a single connector and device assembly for providing combined terrestrial and satellite content to the user, as provided by the characterizing features defined in Claim 1.
Primary object of the present invention is to provide a single connector and device assembly for providing combined terrestrial and satellite content.
The present invention proposes an image display device having a single connector input to receive one of connectors in association with a satellite antenna or a terrestrial antenna where a diplexer circuit filters the satellite and terrestrial broadcasts and transmits filtered signals to one of said satellite tuner or terrestrial tuner. A sensing circuit determines which broadcast source is connected to said single connector input such that a power supply module in electrical connection with said sensing circuit detects a short circuit in case a satellite antenna is not connected to the connector input, in which case power fed to the connector input is interrupted.
Accompanying drawings are given solely for the purpose of exemplifying a single connector and device assembly for providing combined terrestrial and satellite content to the user, whose advantages over prior art were outlined above and will be explained in brief hereinafter.
The drawings are not meant to delimit the scope of protection as identified in the Claims, nor should they be referred to alone in an effort to interpret the scope identified in said Claims without recourse to the technical disclosure in the description of the present invention.

The present invention proposes an image display device (10) receiving programs through a terrestrial antenna (9) or satellite broadcasting in the form of separate subscription formats. The image display device (10) typically receives programs using satellite or over-the-air (terrestrial) built-in tuners.
Digital and interactive TV systems provide a comprehensive amount of TV channels and programs. A conventional structure receiving program contents receives a transport stream via a tuner. In order for viewing a first program content and processing a second program content, the receiver-decoder should have two tuners, which also enables various types of services including interactive functions such as picture-in-picture.
The image display device in accordance with the invention has a satellite tuner (4) and a terrestrial tuner (5). A demodulator (7) receives broadcast multimedia content of different generations (e.g. DVB-T and DVB-T2, DVB-S and DVB-S2). Conventionally, said satellite tuner (4) and terrestrial tuner (5) are respectively connected to a terrestrial antenna (9) or a satellite antenna/dish (8). Conventionally, signal received from the terrestrial antenna (9) or satellite antenna (10) is converted to IF signal (Intermediate frequency), which can then be processed by the demodulator (7). State of the art TVs comprise two separate inputs for satellite and terrestrial signals respectively. In order for satellite and terrestrial broadcasts to be fully received, each should be connected to their respective input.
The system of the invention eliminates this necessity by providing one connector input (1) instead of two inputs and therefore simplifying the set up process. This input supports broadcast signals between 54-2150 MHz, covering the satellite and terrestrial broadcast spectra.
In order to receive the broadcast by a single connector input (1), a diplexer (3) circuit is added immediately after the input. The purpose of this circuit is to filter the satellite and terrestrial broadcasts and transmit filtered signals to the appropriate tuner. The cable may be transmitting different types of broadcasts, such as satellite and/or terrestrial.
A sensing circuit (6) is added in order to control the input. The purpose of this circuit is to determine which antenna or device the cable is connected to. LNB is used to receive satellite broadcasts. 14 V or 18 V power is required for the operation of LNB. In case of a short circuit, the sensing circuit (6) cooperates with a power supply module (2) to detect the short circuit and shuts down the feed from the power supply module (2). Various software and hardware detectors can be utilized in order to determine which antenna is connected to the input. After the type of antenna is determined, if the antenna is a satellite antenna (8), 14 V or 18 V power source module (2) is activated by the sensing circuit (6) for LNB.
After any cable is connected, channel search can be performed automatically or manually. The two tuners can simultaneously or consecutively perform channel scanning using the software.
In a nutshell, the present invention proposes an image display device (10) receiving a plurality of broadcasting services and comprising a satellite tuner (4) and a terrestrial tuner (2) suitable for receiving signal communication respectively from a satellite antenna (8) and a terrestrial antenna (9), said image display device (10) further comprising a demodulator (7) and a display unit (8).
In one aspect of the present invention, said image display device (10) comprises a single connector input (1) to receive one of connectors in association with a satellite antenna (8) or a terrestrial antenna (9).
In a further aspect of the present invention, said image display device (10) comprises a diplexer (3) circuit to filter the satellite and terrestrial broadcasts and transmit filtered signals to one of said satellite tuner (4) or terrestrial tuner (5).
In a further aspect of the present invention, said image display device (10) comprises a sensing circuit (6) to determine which of the satellite antenna (8) or terrestrial antenna (9) is connected with the image display device (10) through said single connector input (1) wherein said sensing circuit (6) cooperates with a power supply module (2) of the image display device (10) to detect the short circuit in case a satellite antenna (8) is not connected with the image display device (10) through said single connector input (1) and shuts down the feed from said power supply module (2).
In a further aspect of the present invention, in case an LNB in connection with satellite antenna (8) is connected with the image display device (10) through said single connector input (1), the power supply module (2) is activated by the sensing circuit (6) and 14 V or 18 V power is supplied by the same.
In a further aspect of the present invention, the terrestrial tuner (5) is a DVB-T, DVB-T2, DVB-C or DVB-C2 tuner.
In a further aspect of the present invention, the satellite tuner (4) is a DVB-S or DVB-S2 tuner.
To this end, the present invention provides a system whereby satellite and terrestrial broadcast transmission is realized by a single cable and a single connector.
