背景技术
在以往的数字卫星广播及地面数字广播中,作为通过对应电视接收装置的IP接口等高速数字接口来进行输入输出的内容形式,在ARIB-STD-B21中规定了基于MPEG-2TS方式的部分传输流(以下,称为部分TS)的规格。
上述部分TS是从通过电视接收装置接收到的传输流(以下,称为TS)中选择提取特定的节目、节目内的组件(Component)而得到的TS。作为在将上述电视接收装置已接收到的内容向其他电视接收装置、平板电脑终端等外设的电子设备进行传送时的形式(内容形式)而使用该部分TS。
由于这样通过部分TS的收发而在外设的平板电脑终端等中能够利用内容,所以出于著作权保护等目的,为了使得作为部分TS生成的基础的节目在何处被广播这一来源清晰可见,必须将network_id、transport_stream_id、service_id这些标识符记载在部分TS内。
关于从2018年12月开始的高级宽带数字卫星广播也同样,存在从对应电视接收装置向外设电子设备传送内容的需求。

发明内容
但是,在高级宽带数字卫星广播中,采用基于MMT/TLV方式的新的复用方式,作 为高速数字接口的输入输出内容形式,如果是直接承袭以往的部分TS规定的部分流的规格,则无法在平板电脑终端等外设的电子设备中使广播节目的来源(信息源)清晰可见。

具体实施方式
以下,参照附图说明实施方式。
(实施方式)
图1是示出本实施方式的基于MMT/TLV方式的数字广播对应的电视接收装置和电子设备的例子的图。
电视接收装置1接收基于MMT/TLV方式的数字广播的广播信号,并获取通过广播信号发送过来的内容。电子设备2A、2B、2C(在不需要特别区别的情况下,称为电子设备2)具有分别能够与电视接收装置1进行通信的接口3A、3B、3C(在不需要特别区别的情况下,称为接口3),经由接口3获取通过广播信号发送过来的内容,并进行显示输出。另外,在本实施方式中,电子设备2设为3个,但是,根据电视接收装置1具有的接口的不同,能够设为1个以上的任意的数量。
电子设备2具有能够利用基于MMT/TLV方式发送的内容(广播节目)的功能(分辨率、帧速率、其他)。电子设备2例如可以是平板电脑终端、监视器、电视接收装置等。
电视接收装置1和电子设备2的接口3可以是有线方式也可以是无线方式。另外,也可以利用电视接收装置1和电子设备2形成遵照DLNA(注册商标)(Digital Living Network Alliance,数字生活网络联盟)或者其扩展方式的网络,并使其能够通信。另外,只要具有能够与电视接收装置1通信的接口,则也可以将电子设备2设为智能手机。
图2是示出该实施方式的基于MMT/TLV方式的数字广播对应的电视接收装置的功能构成的一个例子的图。
电视接收装置1通过天线11接收基于MMT/TLV方式的数字广播的广播信号,通过调谐部12将广播信号解调从而获取TLV(Type Length Value,类型长度值)形式的数字数据(TLV流)。对于获取到的TLV流,在解扰部13中将加扰数据解扰,在解复用部14中从TLV流转换成IP/UDP流,进一步转换成MMT(Mpeg Media Transport,MPEG媒体传输)流,并分离成组件数据(例如编码后的图像数据、语音数据、文字数据等)和作 为控制信息数据的SI(Signaling Information,信令信息)数据。利用解码器15将组件数据解码成图像信号、语音信号、文字数据等服务数据并播放。将服务数据输入到输出处理部16,调整输出时刻、显示方法等,从显示装置、扬声器等输出部17输出。SI数据是与广播节目相关的信息、与IP数据包的复用相关的控制信息这样的与广播系统相关的控制信息。此外,虽未特别图示,但是在解复用部14中也分离TLV流中以IP/UDP形式存储的NTP形式的时刻信息数据,重制时钟同步信号,并在解码器15、输出处理部16中的时钟控制中进行利用。
部分TLV流生成部18A、18B、18C(在不需要特别区别的情况下,称为部分TLV流生成部18)从在解复用部14中分离获取到的TLV流、MMT流中提取构成被选择的内容(广播节目)的组件数据、控制信息数据,并进行编辑从而生成部分TLV流。TLV流是对MMT流附加了IP信息等的流。因此,由于MMT流被包含在TLV流中,所以,在下文中,将表示两者的情况称为MMT/TLV流。
部分TLV流将基于MPEG-2TS方式的部分TS作为参考。基于MPEG-2TS方式的部分TS是从得自广播信号的传输流(以下,称为TS,尤其在与部分TS进行区别的情况下,称为全TS)中选择提取特定的节目、节目内的组件而得到的TS,在ARIB-STD-B21中规定了规格。
在本实施方式中,将基于MPEG-2TS方式的部分TS作为参考,定义面向高级宽带数字卫星广播的内容的形式即部分TLV流。对于部分TLV流在后描述。从接口19发送部分TLV流。
接口19可以具备1个以上的接口,在图2中,示出了具备接口19A、19B、19C(在不特别进行区别的情况下,称为接口19)的例子。19A、19B、19C进行与分别预先规定的通信协议相应的帧数据的生成及分解,并进行以有线、无线这样的媒介进行的收发。接口19也可以具有解扰等加密及加密解码功能。
控制部110例如包含CPU,实施电视接收装置1的各功能的控制。例如,控制部110实施经由包含接口19在内的各种接口的外部通信的连接确立、部分TLV流生成部18的动作控制等。另外,控制部110根据来自电视接收装置1所具有的遥控器等用户接口111的控制信号,控制电视接收装置1的各功能。
图3是示出该实施方式的基于MMT/TLV方式的图像语音播放对应的电子设备的功能构成的一个例子的框图。
电子设备2通过接口21接收电视接收装置1发送的部分TLV流。接口21利用有线、无线这样的媒介与接口19进行收发,并且进行与通信协议相应的帧数据的生成及分解等。 另外,具有与接口19对应的加密及加密解码功能。
部分TLV流处理部22对接收到的部分TLV流进行处理,得到组件数据、SI数据。组件数据与SI数据一起输入至解码器23,转换成服务数据,输出到输出处理部24。对于服务数据,在输出处理部24中调整输出时刻、显示方法等,从信号显示装置、扬声器等输出部25作为图像、音频、文字等而输出。
另外,从部分TLV流处理部22输出的SI数据输入至信息源检测部26。在信息源检测部26中,提取SI数据中包含的关联数据(也称为参照信息),从关联数据中检测节目的广播运营商等内容的来源。检测到的内容的来源被输入到输出处理部24,例如根据需要在正在播放的节目中适当地叠加显示与内容的来源相关的文字信息。此外,也可以不显示文字信息,而是例如显示广播运营商的标志(logo)。另外,也可以将SI数据中包含的关联数据与对应的标志之间的对应关系预先设定在电子设备2的存储器等中,并在显示中利用。另外,也可以将该对应关系包含在广播信号中,从电视接收装置1接收到的广播信号获取该对应关系,并转发到电子设备2,在电子设备2能够接收广播信号的情况下,可以直接获取,还可以经由互联网获取。
另外,在信息源检测部26中,能够将从SI数据中提取到的关联数据作为记录数据保存在存储器中,在连接于互联网的情况下,还能够通过互联网输出到外部。
控制部27例如包含CPU,实施电子设备2的各功能的控制。例如,控制部27实施经由包含接口21在内的各种接口的外部通信的连接确立、信息源检测部26的动作控制。另外,控制部27根据来自电子设备2所具有的遥控器等用户接口28的控制信号,控制电子设备2的各功能。
说明本实施方式的系统的动作例。
电视接收装置1与电子设备2可以视为信源与信宿(或者服务器与客户端)的关系。例如,作为信源(或者服务器)的电视接收装置1输出部分TLV流,作为信宿(或者客户端)的电子设备2接收信源输出的部分TLV流。在本实施方式中,示出如下例子:用户从信宿即电子设备2中指定内容(节目),电子设备2获取从信源即电视接收装置1发送的SI数据中包含的关联数据,并使内容的来源清晰可见。
以下,示出1个电子设备2(例如电子设备2A)和电视接收装置1的处理,但是,对于其他电子设备2(例如电子设备2B、2C),也能够实施同样的处理。
若用户从电子设备2指定内容(节目),则根据来自电子设备2的触发,电视接收装置1的接口19与电子设备2的接口21确立通信连接。在本实施方式中,示出如下例子:在指定了内容的情况下,电视接收装置1自动地发送使得节目的来源清晰可见的关联数据。
图4是示出作为该实施方式的基于MMT/TLV方式的数字广播对应的电视接收装置的服务器侧的电子设备的处理动作的一个例子的流程图。
电视接收装置1的控制部110识别从电子设备2发送过来的电子设备2的指定内容(特定的节目、节目内的组件等)(步骤S11)。控制部110将指定内容输出到部分TLV流生成部18。部分TLV流生成部18如果从解复用部14接收了MMT/TLV流,则从MMT/TLV流中提取从控制部110接收到的指定内容所涉及的组件数据及关联SI数据(步骤S12的是、步骤S13)。从提取到的SI数据中提取关联数据(步骤S14)。具体而言,从SI数据中提取作为网络标识符的network_id、作为tlv流标识符的tlv_stream_id、作为服务标识符的service_id这3个关联数据。对于该3个关联数据,在图5、图6的说明中详细描述。一般而言,根据该3个关联数据,能够唯一地确定基于MMT/TLV方式的数字广播(例如高级宽带数字卫星广播)中的广播节目的所在区域。因此,为了使得从电子设备2清晰可见指定内容所涉及的广播节目的所在区域,需要电视接收装置1将3个关联数据network_id、tlv_stream_id、service_id发送到电子设备2。因此,生成包含3个关联数据的部分TLV流(步骤S15)。
在此,详细说明部分TLV流。部分TLV流是参考基于MPEG-2方式的部分TS而定义的面向高级宽带数字卫星广播的内容的形式。
通常,从以TS方式复用至少1个HD(High Definition:高清晰度)或者SD(Standard Definition:标准清晰度)的节目的广播信号中选择提取特定的节目、节目内的组件,从而得到部分TS。在TS方式中,通常,也能够通过network_id和transport_stream_id、service_id唯一地确定广播节目的来源。因此,在部分TS中,通常,作为从广播信号提取到的关联数据,也包括network_id和transport_stream_id、service_id。在部分TS中,为了发送那些关联数据,必须包括作为传送控制信息的PAT、PMT、还有作为节目关联信息的SIT这样的控制信息表。transport_stream_id被记载在PAT中,service_id被记载在PMT中,network_id被记载在SIT中。
但是,在MMT/TLV流中,虽然在规定上存在相当于PAT的PLT、相当于PMT的MPT,但是,不存在相当于SIT的控制信息表。另外,虽然设想在部分TLV流中必须使用PLT、MPT,但是在PLT、MPT中仅存在service_id的域(field)。
因此,在本实施方式中,新定义了用于包含在部分TLV流中的相当于SIT的MH-SIT,并记述service_id,进而在配置在MH-SIT内的MH-网络识别描述符(Network identification descriptor)中设定network_id、tlv_stream_id。因此,仅通过MH-SIT就能够设定能够唯一地判断服务数据(节目)来源的参照信息即network_id、tlv_stream_ id、service_id。此外,也可以是,放入参照信息的控制信息表并非仅放入到1个控制信息表内,而是通过分开地放入到多个控制信息表中从而能够独立地处理多个参照信息。另外,只要能够发送参照信息,则不限于通过控制信息表格来发送。
因为在部分TS中定义的SIT的发送频率较小而且通信负荷也较小,所以通过以部分TS为参考来定义MH-SIT,并在其中设定3个关联数据,从而能够不会给通信施加较大的负荷地发送部分TLV流。
图5是示出该实施方式的通过部分TLV流来传送的控制信息表即MH-SIT的构成的一个例子的图。在图5中,在标识符51中设定service_id。
service_id为16比特字段,发挥用于从TLV流内的其他服务中识别该服务的标签的作用。服务识别等于MMT包表内的包ID(MMT_package_id_byte)。
在下文中,示出图5所示的其他标识符的含义。
·section_syntax_indicator(分段语法指示符)
分段语法指示符为1比特的字段,始终设为“1”。
·section_length(分段长度)
其设为12比特字段。section_length规定从该字段之后起到包含CRC在内的分段的最后为止的分段的字节数。为了使得全段长度最大不会超过4096字节,分段长度不可以超过4093字节。
·version_number(版本编号)
该5比特字段是表的版本编号。在表内的信息有了变化的情况下,将版本编号加1。在其值变成了31的情况下,返回到0。在当前后续指示符为“1”的情况下,版本编号变成现在的表的版本编号。在当前后续指示符为“0”的情况下,版本编号变成下一个表的版本编号。
·current_next_indicator(当前后续指示符)
在该1比特的指示符为“1”的情况下,表示表为现在的表,在“0”的情况下,表示被传送的表尚未应用,作为下一个表而使用。
·section_number(分段编号)
该8比特字段表示分段的编号。分段编号为0x00。
·last_section_number(最终分段编号)
该8比特字段表示最终的分段编号。最终分段编号为0x00。
·transmission_info_loop_length(传送信息循环长度)
该12比特字段表示对部分TLV流的传送参数进行记述的描述符的全字节数。
·running_status(运行状态)
该3比特字段表示原来的流的事件的运行状态。这是原来的流的现在的事件的运行状态。如果在原来的流中不存在现在的事件,则认为状态是非执行中。运行状态的值的含义通过ARIB STD-B60来定义。
·service_loop_length(服务循环长度)
该12比特字段规定描述符循环的全字节长度,该描述符循环包括以下接续的部分TLV流所包含的服务和事件的SI关联信息。
·CRC_32(CRC)
遵照ITU-T建议H.222.0。
图6是示出该实施方式的通过部分TLV流传送的描述符的构成的一个例子的图。
作为MH-网络识别描述符进行定义,在该描述符中对标识符61设定network_id,对标识符62设定tlv_stream_id。另外,该描述符配置在图5的描述符区域52。
network_id为16比特的域,记述生成了部分TLV流的分配系统的网络识别的值。在原始的分配系统中,该值被记述于TLV-NIT,该字段值的分配是通过标准化机构的指定而进行的。
tlv_stream_id示出该TLV流的识别编号。在下文中,示出图6所示的其它描述符的含义。
·country_code(国家码)
该24比特的字段使用ISO3166中规定的3位字母编码来表示国名。在使用该描述符的情况下,表示生成了部分TLV流的分配系统的国家。将各文字遵照ISO8859-1以8比特编码,按其顺序插入到24比特字段。日本的3位字母编码为“JPN”,如下这样编码。
“0100 1010 0101 0000 0100 1110”
·media_type(媒体类别)
该16比特的域插入有2位字母编码,利用该2位字母表示媒体的类型。在使用该描述符的情况下,表示生成了部分TLV流的分配系统的媒体类型。将各文字遵照ISO8859-1以8比特编码,按其顺序插入到16比特字段。媒体的种类如下文。
(值、含义):(0x4142、高度BS/高级宽带CS)
·network_id(网络识别):其为16比特的域,记述生成部分TLV流的分配系统的网络识别的值。在原始的分配系统中,在TLV-NIT中记述了该值,其数据域的值的分配是通过标准化机构的指定而进行的。
·private_data(私有数据)
其为8×N比特的字段,具有个别地定义的值。
返回到图4的步骤S15,部分TLV流生成部18在对MH-SIT设定了3个关联数据之后,至少包含MH-SIT而生成面向部分TLV流的SI数据(以下,称为部分SI数据)。因为在PLT、MPT中包含service_id,所以在MH-SIT中包含network_id、tlv_stream_id,至少包含PLT、MPT、MH-SIT地生成部分SI数据。
部分TLV流生成部18根据指定内容的组件数据而生成面向部分TLV流的组件数据(以下,称为部分组件数据),并且根据部分SI数据和部分组件数据而生成部分TLV流(步骤S15)。
此外,在本实施方式中,示出了在定义的MH-SIT中记载service_id、network_id、tlv_stream_id的例子,但是,也可以将作为关联数据的标识符记载在作为其他控制信息表的MPT中。
另外,在本实施方式中,示出了在MH-网络识别描述符中记载network_id、tlv_stream_id的例子,但是,例如也可以不设置将tlv_stream_id记载在MH-网络识别描述符中的数据域,作为替代选择,可以记载在MH-SIT的reserved_future_use(16)中。
从接口19发送部分TLV流(步骤16)。如果无法从解复用部14接收MMT/TLV流,则部分TLV流生成部18结束处理(步骤S12的否)。
图7是示出该实施方式的客户端侧的电子设备的处理动作的一个例子的流程图,将电子设备2作为客户端侧的电子设备。
电子设备2的部分TLV流处理部22若从接口21接收到部分TLV流,则对部分TLV流实施解复用等处理并输出部分组件数据、部分SI数据(步骤S21的是、步骤S22)。例如,在步骤22中,与电视接收装置1接收MMT/TLV流的情况同样地,部分TLV流处理部22实施解扰处理(对部分TLV流实施扰频处理而需要加密解码的情况)、解复用处理。在解复用处理中,从部分TLV流获取部分组件数据、部分SI数据。从部分TLV流处理部22输出的部分组件数据、部分SI数据输入到解码器22,在解码器22中实施解码处理,从而转换成图像信号、语音信号、文字数据等服务数据(步骤23)。服务数据输入到输出处理部24,调整输出时刻、显示方法等(步骤S24),从显示装置、扬声器等输出部25输出(步骤S25)。
另一方面,在步骤22中,部分TLV流处理部22输出的部分SI数据输入到信息源提取部26,信息源提取部26从部分SI数据中提取关联数据。具体而言,从部分SI数据中提取network_id、tlv_stream_id、service_id这3个关联数据。信息源提取部26根据提取到的3个关联数据,例如确定高级宽带数字卫星广播中的广播节目的应用区域,并向输 出处理部24输出(步骤S26)。输出处理部24在对从信息源提取部26输入的广播节目的应用区域信息的输出时刻、显示方法等进行了调整后,连同从解码器23输入的服务数据一起向输出部25输出(步骤S24),输出部25输出广播节目的区域信息(步骤S25)。
通过按照每个电子设备2A、2B、2C并列地实施上述的处理,从而能够同时进行电子设备2A、2B、2C与电视接收装置1之间的交互,例如电子设备2A、2B、2C能够在相同的时间得到相同的内容,如果从电子设备2A、2B、2C指定各自不同的指定内容,则还能够得到各自不同的内容。
在本实施方式中,通过将如图5、图6所示那样定义的MH-SIT和MH-网络识别描述符包含在部分TLV流中,从而能够判断客户端侧即电子设备2接收到的内容的来源。
另外,在基于TS方式的部分TS流中,在PAT、PMT、SIT这3个表中包含3个关联数据,但是,在本实施方式的例子中,通过在MH-SIT中放入3个关联数据,从而处理负荷降低,处理速度提高。另外,与部分TS流中的SIT同样地,在MH-SIT的特性上,与其他的PLT、MPT这种控制信息表相比发送频率更小,因此,与放入了PLT、MPT的情况相比,也具有处理负荷降低的效果。
这样,根据本实施方式,能够提供采用如下部分流的内容形式的数字内容发送装置、发送方法,该部分流的内容形式使得基于MMT/TLV方式而发送的广播节目的应用区域清晰可见。

在图9的电视接收装置1A中,示出了将相当于图2的部分TLV流生成部18的功能分开为控制部110A、复用部18的例子。另外,图2的解复用部14、解码器15分别对应于MMT复用分离部14A、图像解码部、音频解码部、EPG多媒体解码器15A。从图像解码部得到的图像解码信号供给至输出部的显示器,从音频解码部输出的音频信号供给至输出部的音频系统(扬声器系统)。
图10是示出图9的电视接收装置1A基于控制部110A的控制进行动作的动作例子。若从第2电视接收装置2AA(TV2)中检测到请求部分流的信号(SA11),则开始部分TLV流的处理(SA12)。从MMT复用分离部14A取出并准备部分TLV流,输出到复用部18A(SA00、SA16)。
控制部110A生成图5、图6中说明的那样的参照信息(SA13、SA14),并向复用部18A输出参照信息,在复用部18A中作为部分TLV流进行复用(SA15)。由此,将复用了包含参照信息在内的MH-SIT的部分TLV流向电视接收装置2B传送(SA17)。
此外,也可以将用于判断来源的network_id、tlv_stream_id、service_id在部分TLV流中以任何位置、格式插入复用。另外,也能够改变发送的时刻,也可以是部分TLV流的发送开始时刻。
图11示出了在该变形例中对电视接收装置1A传送的部分TLV流进行接收的电视接收装置2AA的构成例。
该电视接收装置2AA的功能构成是与图9所示电视接收装置1A相同的功能构成,对于相互对应的功能模块,标注了类似的附图标记。对于图12所示的电视接收装置1A的附图标记12A、13A、14A……,电视接收装置2AA的附图标记记载为2A12、2A13、2A14……。从电视接收装置1A传送过来的部分TLV流经由接口21A输入到复用分离部2A18,并在控制部2A110中解析上述的参照信息,从而部分TLV流的内容的来源变清楚。MMT/TLV流输入到MMT复用分离部2A14,取出数据包的图像编码数据、音频编码数据,分别在图像解码部、音频解码部中解码。
图12是示出图11的电视接收装置2AA的动作例的流程图。若存在部分TLV流的接收指令或接收请求,则开始部分TLV流的接收处理(SB11、SB12)。在控制部2A110中对部分TLV流中复用的参照信息进行解析,并判断该流中复用的内容的来源(SB13、SB14、SB15)。另一方面,在输出处理部2A15中对该流中复用的内容进行处理,作为用于显示、语音输出的数据而输出(SB20)。如果没有部分TLV流的接收停止,则继续进行该流中 复用的内容的显示。但是,若进行了接收装置的关停或者接收停止等操作,则停止上述的动作(SB21)。
以上,根据本变形例,能够提供一种数字内容发送装置、发送方法,其对于在提供内容的服务器侧中不同的功能构成、不同的客户端侧的信息终端,采用使得基于MMT/TLV方式发送的广播节目的区域清晰可见的部分流的内容形式。
另外,在以上的实施方式及变形例中,示出了利用从调谐器接收到的广播信号中获取到MMT/TLV流的情况的例子,但是,例如也可以使用基于经由互联网获取到的MMT/TLV方式的MMT/TLV流。另外,也可以暂时将MMT/TLV流保存在未图示的存储装置等中,将其数据例如输入到图2的解复用部14,生成部分TLV流。
