Description

  The present invention relates to a broadcast receiver such as a liquid crystal television, and more particularly to a broadcast receiver capable of receiving at least an analog broadcast.

  Currently, Japan and the United States are in a transition period from terrestrial analog broadcasting to terrestrial digital broadcasting worldwide, and a mixture of analog broadcasting and digital broadcasting will continue until the terrestrial analog broadcasting ends (stops). For this reason, broadcast receivers that are currently sold are mainly those that can receive both analog broadcasts and digital broadcasts.

  By the way, many digital and analog broadcast receivers store a so-called channel map, which is a list of channels that can be selected, in the storage unit. This channel map is also used for channel selection by the channel up / down key, and which channel is selected by the channel up / down key is displayed as a channel list selectable from the menu screen. Then, the user can change the setting as to whether or not to select a channel for each channel on the channel list. Various techniques have been proposed for such channel channel selection setting methods.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, a position number is assigned to each channel for analog broadcasting, and a different position number is assigned to programs with different service numbers even for the same channel for digital broadcasting. For each position number, channel information, identification information indicating analog broadcasting or digital broadcasting, and channel list information including a service number in the case of digital broadcasting are stored, and the position number is directly or There is disclosed a channel selection method for a television receiver that is indirectly specified by an up / down key and performs channel selection / program extraction processing based on channel list information corresponding to a position number specified by a user. .

  Patent Document 2 discloses a broadcast reception in which the user can directly display the channel change setting screen by operating the analog CH conversion key of the remote control transmitter without calling up the channel change setting screen from the menu screen. An apparatus is disclosed.

  In Patent Document 3, in a television receiver capable of receiving at least a digital BS broadcast program, any one of a plurality of channel selection keys provided in the operation unit and corresponding to each transponder of the digital BS broadcast is selected. Means for displaying a program selection screen including a list of channels included in the transponder corresponding to the operated channel selection e when operated by the user, and a program provided in the operation unit and based on the program selection screen A channel list including an operation key for allowing a user to designate a specific channel from a channel list included in a selection screen is disclosed.

  The channel list reflects the channels registered in the normal channel map, and displays a list of channels registered by the user and channels acquired by auto scan. The auto scan is a function for automatically searching all frequency bands in order and searching for receivable channels in order to register receivable channels in the channel map.

  Here, in digital broadcasting, even if it is determined that channel selection is possible at the stage where channel information has been acquired, it is possible to view without problem, but in analog broadcasting, it is determined how much reception is considered successful reception. It is very difficult. For example, a user wants to register in the channel list and select a channel with the channel up / down key even if the reception condition is bad, while another user uses the channel up / down key when the reception condition is bad. Sometimes you want to avoid tuning.

  As described above, in analog broadcasting channels, the criteria for determining whether or not to register in the channel list varies depending on the user. However, a conventional analog broadcast receiving apparatus determines whether or not reception is possible based on a threshold value of the apparatus during auto-scanning, and is not adapted to individual user preferences. Therefore, in order to register a channel that could not be acquired by auto-scan in the channel list and select a channel with the channel up / down key, the user had to add it manually for each channel, which was troublesome. .

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a digital / analog broadcast receiving apparatus or an analog broadcast receiving apparatus that can be easily operated to select a desired analog broadcast channel with a channel up / down key.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention displays an operation unit having a channel up / down key used for channel selection operation and a channel that can be selected or not selected by the channel up / down key. In a broadcast receiving apparatus including a storage unit for storing a channel list and a tuner capable of receiving an analog broadcast, an analog broadcast physical channel is registered in the channel list as an initial state.

  According to this configuration, even a low-intensity analog broadcast channel determined to be unreceivable by auto-scan is registered in advance in the channel list, so that the user can easily change the registered contents of the channel list if desired. The channel can be selected with the channel up / down key.

  In the broadcast receiving apparatus, in the initial state, the registered analog broadcast physical channel is preferably set not to be selected by the channel up / down key. This is because it includes channels that cannot be received.

  In the broadcast receiving apparatus described above, it is desirable that all the physical channels for analog broadcasting are registered in the initial state. This is because it is possible to deal with a plurality of regions where the receivable physical channels are different, and it is convenient because it saves the user from manually registering the channels determined to be unreceivable by the auto scan in the channel list.

  In the broadcast receiving apparatus described above, it is desirable that a tuner capable of receiving a digital broadcast is provided and a virtual channel of the digital broadcast that has been successfully received is added to the channel list. The user does not need to perform a special registration operation for registering in the channel list, and is not conscious of registration in the channel list, so it is very convenient.

  In the broadcast receiving apparatus, if the digital broadcast is an ATSC broadcast, it can be determined from the reception of the VCT that the digital broadcast virtual channel has been successfully received.

  In the broadcast receiving apparatus, the digital broadcast virtual channel registered in the channel list is preferably set to be selected by the channel up / down key. This is to save the user from setting manually.

  In the broadcast receiving apparatus, more specifically, the operation unit has a cursor key for moving a cursor for selecting a desired channel on the channel list and a state in which the desired channel is selected on the channel list. An enter key for switching between channel selection and channel selection by the channel up / down key.

  In the channel list, it is preferable to highlight the channel to be selected with the channel up / down key. This is because it is easy to identify a channel that is not selected.

  In the broadcast receiving apparatus, more specifically, the storage unit is an EEPROM, and a television receiver is provided if it includes a display unit that outputs received video and a speaker that outputs received audio.

  According to the present invention, an operation for making a desired analog broadcast channel selectable with a channel up / down key is easy, so that it is possible to match the preference of each user.

  Hereinafter, an ATSC standard digital / analog broadcast receiving apparatus will be described as an example. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the digital / analog broadcast receiving apparatus 10. The digital / analog broadcast receiving apparatus 10 includes an operation unit 11, a tuner 12, an ATSC interface (hereinafter referred to as ATSC IF) 13, an 8-VSB decoder 14, an IC 15, a RAM 16, a ROM 17, an EEPROM 18, and a D. / A conversion unit 19, audio signal output unit 20, speaker 21, NTSC encoder 22, video signal output unit 23, display unit 24, NTSC interface (hereinafter referred to as NTSC IF) 25, and NTSC decoder 26 And an MPU 27.

  The operation unit 11 includes a plurality of keys for the user to perform various operations such as a channel selection operation. One of the keys is a channel up / down key 11a. The channel up key is a key for selecting channels in ascending order of numbers for each channel. The channel down key is a key for selecting channels in descending order of numbers for each channel. It is. The channel selection instruction of the channel up / down key 11a is based on the registered contents of the channel list described later.

  Also, one of the keys of the operation unit 11 is a cursor key 11b, which is a key for moving a cursor for selecting each item on a menu screen or the like. The cursor key 11b is used, for example, to move a cursor for selecting a desired channel on a channel list described later.

  An enter key 11c is one of the keys of the operation unit 11, and is a key for determining an item selected by the cursor key 11b. The enter key 11c is used, for example, to switch between a channel selected by the channel up / down key 11a and a channel not selected in a state where a desired channel is selected with the cursor on the channel list. The operation unit 11 may be a remote control that can be remotely operated by infrared rays or the like.

  The tuner 12 is connected to an antenna 30 that receives a digital / analog broadcast wave, and selects a desired channel from the digital / analog broadcast wave received by the antenna 30. The ATSC IF 13 extracts a digital output wave from the tuner 12. The 8-VSB decoder 14 demodulates the digital output wave received from the ATSC IF 13 into data.

  The IC 15 has a TS demultiplexer 15a and an MPEG-2 decoder 15b. The TS demultiplexer 15a separates the data demodulated by the 8-VSB decoder 14 for each type (VCT, EIT, video data, audio data, etc.). The MPEG-2 decoder 15b decodes the data separated by the TS demultiplexer 15a into data before compression.

  The RAM 16 temporarily stores the data separated by the TS demultiplexer 15a. The ROM 17 stores information necessary for the operation of the digital / analog broadcast receiving apparatus 10. The EEPROM 18 is one of storage units, and stores a channel map and a channel list.

  The channel map is a list of channels that can be selected, and at least a virtual channel and a physical channel are associated with each other, and is created by executing an auto scan or an Auto Add function described later. The analog broadcast virtual channel field may be blank or “0”. On the other hand, the channel list is a frame that displays in a selectable manner whether the channel is selected or not selected by the channel up / down key 11a, and is created based on the channel map. The channel list can be displayed from the menu screen, and the user can change whether or not to select a channel on the channel list.

  The D / A converter 19 converts the audio data output from the IC 15 into analog. The audio signal output unit 20 outputs the audio data analogized by the D / A conversion unit 19. The speaker 21 emits sound from the sound signal output unit 20.

  The NTSC encoder 22 decodes the video data decoded by the MPEG-2 decoder 15b into an NTSC decoded television signal. The video signal output unit 23 outputs the NTSC decoded television signal decoded by the NTSC encoder 22. The display unit 24 displays the video from the video signal output unit 23 and includes a liquid crystal panel or the like.

  The NTSC IF 25 extracts an analog output wave from the tuner 12. The NTSC decoder 26 converts the analog output wave received from the NTSC IF 25 into a digital signal.

  The MPU 27 controls the operation of the digital / analog broadcast receiving apparatus 10 and includes a comparison unit 27a and a registration control unit 27b. The comparison unit 27a compares the received virtual channel virtual channel information (here, the virtual channel number included in the VCT) with the channel map. The registration control unit 27b controls the rewriting of the registered contents of the channel map. For example, the registration control unit 27b controls to register an unregistered virtual channel in the channel map. When the registered contents of the channel map are rewritten, the contents are also reflected in the channel list.

  Next, an operation when the digital / analog broadcast receiving apparatus 10 receives a digital broadcast will be described. First, a digital broadcast wave is received by the antenna 30. When the operation unit 11 is selected, the tuner 12 switches the transponder to be received. The received digital broadcast wave is demodulated into data by the 8-VSB decoder 14 via the ATSC IF 13.

  Originally, digital broadcast waves are transmitted in the form of TS packets from the transmission side. The TS packet is composed of control data including video data, audio data, VCT, and the like, and this control data is separated by the TS demultiplexer 15a of the IC 15 and stored in the RAM 16. Then, the data read from the RAM 16 is decoded into data before compression by the MPEG-2 decoder. Next, the audio data is converted into an analog signal by the D / A converter 19, and the sound is emitted from the speaker 21 via the audio signal output unit 20. Further, the video data is decoded into an NTSC decoded television signal by the NTSC encoder 22, and the video is displayed on the display unit 24 via the video signal output unit 23.

  The channel selection operation by the user is performed by directly inputting a virtual channel using the numeric keypad (not shown) of the operation unit 11 or by operating the channel up / down key 11a. Here, the virtual channel includes a main channel and a sub channel. In FIG. 6, major num. Corresponds to the main channel, and minor num. Corresponds to the sub-channel. In FIG. 6, the virtual channel whose minor num. Is “0” indicates analog broadcasting. Hereinafter, the numbers of the main channel and the sub channel are separated by “-”. For example, when the main channel is 12 and the sub channel is 34, it is written as “12-34”.

  Next, an operation when the digital / analog broadcast receiving apparatus 10 receives an analog broadcast will be described. First, an analog broadcast wave is received by the antenna 30. When the operation unit 11 is selected, the tuner 12 switches the transponder to be received. The received analog broadcast wave is converted from analog to digital signal by the NTSC decoder 26 via the NTSC IF 25. The digital signal is given to the IC 15 and processed in the same manner as digital broadcasting. Here, the IC 15 is shared by both digital / analog broadcasting through the NTSC decoder 26.

  Next, an Auto Add (automatic addition) function will be described in which a normal channel selection operation for digital broadcasting is performed and a new virtual channel that is not registered in the channel map is automatically registered. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the digital / analog broadcast receiving apparatus 10 regarding the Auto Add function.

  First, when a channel for digital broadcasting is selected by a channel selection operation or the like and the VCT of the physical channel with the MPU 27 is acquired in step S10, the process proceeds to step S11, where the comparison unit 27a determines the virtual channel number and channel included in the VCT. Compare the virtual channel number of the map. Then, the process proceeds to step S12, and if there is a virtual channel not registered in the channel map in the VCT, the process proceeds to step S13, and the registration control unit 27b additionally registers the virtual channel and the corresponding physical channel in the channel map. On the other hand, if there is no unregistered virtual channel in step S12, the process returns to step S10.

  For example, when a physical channel “4” is selected by a channel selection operation while receiving a certain channel, the VCT of the physical channel “4” is received. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that only the virtual channel “55-1” corresponding to the physical channel “4” is registered in the current channel map 40.

  Then, it is assumed that virtual channel numbers included in the VCT are extracted, and the extracted virtual channel numbers are, for example, “55-1”, “55-2”, and “55-3”. Then, the three virtual channel numbers are compared with the virtual channel corresponding to the physical channel “4” in the channel map 40 of FIG. As a result of comparison, “55-1” extracted from the VCT is already registered in the channel map 40, and “55-2” and “55-3” extracted from the VCT are not registered in the channel map 40. I understand that. Therefore, by additionally registering “55-2” and “55-3” which are not registered in the channel map 40, the channel map 40 is updated to the channel map 50 shown in FIG.

  As described above, when the physical channel “4” is selected, the program displayed on the display unit 24 at that time is the “55-1” channel. Since the channel map 50 is immediately updated thereafter, when the channel up key is operated from this state, “55-2”, “55-3”, “60-1”,. To be selected.

  As described above, if a normal channel selection operation is performed and there is a new channel not registered in the channel map, it is automatically registered by the Auto Add function and reflected in the channel list. Therefore, the user does not need to perform a special registration operation for registering in the channel map, and is not aware of registration in the channel map, which is very convenient.

  Next, if there is a virtual channel number registered in the channel map but not included in the received VCT, it may be left as it is, or the corresponding virtual channel number is deleted from the channel map. May be. For example, it is possible to have the channel map 40 of FIG. 3 and the virtual channel numbers included in the received VCT are “55-2” and “55-3”.

  At this time, if the product specification is left as it is, “55-1” is left as it is, so the channel map 40 is updated as the channel map 50 of FIG. According to this specification, the virtual channel number that can be received even once is retained and reflected in the channel list. However, depending on the selected channel, it may not be currently broadcast.

  On the other hand, if it is the product specification to be deleted, “55-1” is deleted, so that the channel map 40 is updated like the channel map 60 of FIG. According to this specification, virtual channel numbers that are not currently being broadcast are deleted from the channel map and reflected in the channel list.

  Next, the channel list will be described in detail. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the digital / analog broadcast receiving apparatus 10 regarding the setting of the channel list.

  First, when the user operates the operation unit 11 to select and determine the item “channel” for displaying the channel list from the menu screen, the MPU 27 reads the channel list from the EEPROM 18 and displays it on the display unit 24 in step S20. FIG. 8 shows a channel list frame 70 in an initial state (factory shipment state). A menu 71 is displayed at the left end of the channel list frame 70, and there is a channel 71a as one item of the menu. In FIG. 8, the channel 71a is highlighted, indicating that it has been selected and determined.

  Further, the physical channel of the analog broadcast registered in the initial state is displayed at the right end of the channel list frame 70. It is preferable that all physical channels of analog broadcasting are registered in the initial state. This is because it is possible to deal with a plurality of regions where the receivable physical channels are different, and it is convenient because it saves the user from manually registering the channels determined to be unreceivable by the auto scan in the channel list. Note that the analog broadcast physical channels registered in the channel list in the initial state are not reflected from the channel map, so it is not necessary to register the analog broadcast physical channels in the channel map in the initial state. .

  In the initial state, it is desirable that the registered physical channel of the analog broadcast is set not to be selected by the channel up / down key 11a. This is because it includes channels that cannot be received. Hereinafter, the setting not to select (skip) with the channel up / down key 11a is referred to as Del setting, and the setting to select with the channel up / down key 11a is referred to as Add setting.

  FIG. 8 shows a state in which each physical channel is set to Del, and a thick frame surrounding the two channels indicates the cursor 72. The triangles above the 2nd channel and the 8th channel indicate that if the cursor 72 is moved in the respective directions, further channels are scrolled.

  FIG. 8 shows an initial state, that is, a state before auto scan, and FIG. In the channel list frame 80, channels 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 are highlighted. This highlighted display indicates that the state is set to Add. This reflects that channels 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 are determined to be receivable and registered in the channel map by auto scan, and the channels that have been determined to be receivable by auto scan are listed in the channel list. It is controlled to be automatically set to Add when it is added. This is to save the user from having to manually add settings.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 7, when the channel list is displayed in step S20, the process proceeds to step S21 to determine whether any channel in the channel list is selected. The channel is selected by operating the cursor key 11b to move the cursor 72 to a desired channel.

  If any channel in the channel list is selected in step S21, the process proceeds to step S22 to select and display the selected channel. The display may be displayed in a size that fits in the empty space in the center of the screen. Note that at the first time point when the channel list frame is displayed, the cursor is positioned on a default channel (for example, two channels), and the channel may be selected and displayed.

  Then, it progresses to step S23 and it is discriminate | determined whether the enter key 11c was pressed down. This is for switching between the Add setting and the Del setting by operating the enter key 11c. If the enter key 11c is pressed in step S23, the process proceeds to step S24 to determine whether or not the currently selected channel is set to Add. On the other hand, if the enter key 11c is not pressed in step S23, the process returns to step S21.

  If the setting is Add in step S24, the process proceeds to step S25 to switch to the Del setting, and the highlight display of the channel is returned to the normal display. On the other hand, if the setting is not Add in step S24, that is, if the setting is Del, the process proceeds to step S26 to switch to the Add setting, and the channel display is highlighted. For example, five channels determined to be unreceivable by auto scan can be switched to the Add setting. In step S25 or step S26, switching between Add setting and Del setting of a desired channel is completed.

  And it returns to step S21 from step S25 or step S26. During the above processing, if the back key (not shown) of the operation unit 11 is pressed, the previous screen can be returned, and if the cancel key (not shown) is pressed, the display of the channel list is terminated and the menu screen is displayed. Return to.

  In this way, by registering the analog broadcast physical channel as the initial state of the channel list, it is easy to set Add if the user desires even an analog broadcast channel with low reception intensity that is determined to be unreceivable by auto scan. Channel selection is possible with the channel up / down key 11a. Therefore, it can be adapted to the preference of individual users. Conventionally, low-intensity analog broadcast channels that were judged to be unacceptable by auto-scanning were not registered in the channel map, so they were not reflected in the channel list, and the user manually registered them in the channel list as needed. Had to do. In order to realize the operation of the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, the digital broadcast receiving function is not particularly necessary, and therefore an analog broadcast receiving apparatus may be used.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, “DTV 6-1” and “DTV 6-2” are highlighted in the channel list of the channel list frame 90. This is a digital broadcast virtual channel acquired by the Auto Add function described above. The virtual channel of digital broadcasting is not registered in the channel list in the initial state, and the virtual channel of digital broadcasting that has been successfully received is added to the channel list. Successful reception of the digital broadcast virtual channel is determined from the fact that the VCT has been received, and the virtual channel information is read from the VCT.

  The digital broadcast virtual channel registered in the channel list in this way is controlled to automatically be set to Add. This is to save the user from having to manually add settings. Note that the digital broadcast virtual channel set to Add can be manually set to Del according to the flowchart of FIG.

  When a virtual channel is deleted from the channel map by the Auto Add function, it is desirable to delete it from the channel list in the same manner, or to automatically switch to the Del setting while remaining in the channel list.

  In the above embodiment, the digital / analog television or the like in which the speaker 21 and the display unit 24 are built in the digital / analog broadcast receiving apparatus 10 has been described. However, the present invention does not include the speaker 21 and the display unit 24. The present invention can also be applied to a set-top box (STB) that is a tuner device and a video device.

  Note that the digital / analog broadcast receiving apparatus of the present invention is not only applied to the ATSC standard, but also to other standards as long as information including a virtual channel number such as VCT is distributed. Can be applied.

  The broadcast receiving apparatus of the present invention includes a television receiver such as a liquid crystal television, a STB which is a tuner apparatus, a video cassette recorder or a DVD recorder or a hard disk recorder which is a video apparatus, a composite machine thereof, a mobile phone with a broadcast receiving function, and the like.
