  A digital broadcast receiving apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  In FIG. 1, antennas 1A and 1B are arranged outdoors in a predetermined direction, and receive digital broadcast signals sent from satellites or terrestrial broadcast stations.

  The BS / CS digital tuner 2A and the terrestrial digital tuner 2B take out a signal of a specific frequency from the high-frequency digital modulation signal including video / audio data. Further, the tuners 2A and 2B include a demodulation circuit, a deinterleave circuit, an error correction circuit, and the like, thereby demodulating the selected digital modulation signal and outputting a transport stream.

  An MPEG-TS decoder separation circuit (hereinafter simply referred to as a decoder) 3 converts the transport stream into an MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group 2) video stream, an audio stream, and PSI / SI (Program Specific Information / Service Information). To separate. The decoder 3 has an AV decoder unit that inputs a video stream and an audio stream. Further, the PSI / SI and the like are supplied to the CPU 13. As described above, a plurality of channels are multiplexed in the transport stream, and the process for selecting an arbitrary channel from among the channels is determined from the PSI / SI in the transport stream. It becomes possible by taking out data such as whether the packet ID is multiplexed. In addition, a transport stream can be selected based on PSI / SI information.

  The AV decoder unit includes a video decoder that decodes a video stream and an audio decoder that decodes an audio stream. The video decoder decodes the input variable length code to obtain a quantization coefficient and a motion vector, and performs inverse DCT conversion, motion compensation control based on the motion vector, and the like. The audio decoder decodes the input encoded signal to generate audio data. The video data is output to the video processing unit 4, and the audio data is output to the audio processing unit 5.

  The video processing unit 4 receives the video data of the received video, performs D / A conversion and down-decoding processing (forms a frame in the memory 14), and converts it into, for example, a composite video signal. The video processing unit 4 has an OSD (on-screen display function), and synthesizes video based on character information and color information output from the CPU 13 with the video data. The audio processing unit 5 receives the audio data output from the decoder 3 and generates right (R) sound data and left (L) sound data.

  The video signal is supplied to the video output unit 11 through the amplifier 7. The audio data is converted into an analog signal through the D / A conversion amplifier 8 and input to the audio output unit 12. A display and a speaker (not shown) are connected to the video output unit 11 and the audio output unit 12 via an AV output terminal (not shown).

  The memory (RAM, EEPROM, flash memory, ROM, etc.) 14 stores the transport stream output from the tuners 2A and 2B and the decode data output from the decoder 3.

  The remote control transmitter 15 is a transmitter for sending a command to the broadcast receiving apparatus 30. When a key provided on the remote control transmitter 15 is operated, signal light (remote control signal) indicating a command corresponding to the key is transmitted from a light emitting unit (not shown). The tuning CPU 16 receives the signal light output when the key of the remote control transmitter 15 is operated, converts it into an electrical signal, performs code analysis, and gives a channel tuning command to the CPU 13.

  Further, the broadcast receiving apparatus 30 is provided with a memory card I / F (interface) 17, and the memory card 18 can be mounted via the memory card I / F 17. In addition, a USB I / F (interface) 19 is provided, and the USB memory 20 can be mounted via the USB I / F 19. A hard disk drive (HDD) 23 is installed. Any one or several of these storage means store map data and data used for traffic route search. The map data can be used in, for example, a car navigation system, and can indicate points on the map by, for example, longitude and latitude information, and also has information on ground buildings and road maps. The data used for the traffic route search is data that can present at least transportation means (train, bus, etc.) from the departure point to the destination when the departure point and the destination are input. Of course, it may have departure / arrival time data of the transportation means. Also, location information is stored in any one or several of these storage means. This location information will be described in detail later.

  Further, the broadcast receiving apparatus 30 is provided with a LAN I / F (interface) 21, and the LAN card 22 can be mounted via the LAN I / F 21. When the CPU 13 becomes a web browser, it can connect to a site on the Internet via the LAN card 22 and download various information from this site. The various information includes map data and traffic route data, and the downloaded map data and traffic route data are stored in the recording means. When the CPU 13 becomes a web browser, predetermined information can be sent to a specific site. Then, an image based on the data returned from the specific site is displayed on the display. The predetermined information includes position information of the receiving device 30 (this position information will be described later) and the location information. The data returned from the specific site includes drawing target map data. The data returned from the specific site includes traffic route data. For example, if the device location information is “XX town in Tokyo” and the location information is “Osaka town in Osaka”, the traffic route data is “Tokyo station → Shin Osaka station = Shinkansen” “Shin Osaka station → The data includes contents such as “Osaka Station = AA Line” and “Osaka Station → OO Station = BB Line”. Of course, the required time or fee may be included in the traffic route data.

  The broadcast receiving apparatus 30 separates various information from the broadcast wave by the decoder 3 described above. The various information includes the location information. For example, it is assumed that a broadcasting station introduces restaurants, shops selling clothes, and the like through programs such as “Stores where customers can queue”. Then, the broadcasting station puts information indicating the location of the store to be introduced in the program (address, postal code, telephone number, place name, nearest station, longitude and latitude, etc.) on the broadcast wave of the program currently being broadcast. Information indicating the location of a store (not limited to a store, of course) introduced in the broadcast wave of the currently broadcast program is the location information. If the program is news such as a fire, there is location information on the fire site, and if the program is a trip program, there is location information such as a ryokan or a tourist destination. If the store to be introduced merely indicates where on the map, a postal code may be used as information indicating the location. However, if you want to come to the store, the location of the nearest station (especially suitable for traffic route search), address and longitude / latitude (especially suitable for route guidance by a navigation system) It is good to transmit as information.

[Examples suitable when the digital broadcasting receiver is a stationary type]
For a stationary digital broadcast receiving apparatus, generally, position information of the installation location, that is, apparatus position information (for example, a zip code) is input at the beginning of installation.

  (1) When the CPU 13 of the broadcast receiving apparatus separates the location information from the broadcast wave by the decoder 3, the message “Location information exists. Do you want to display a map?” Is displayed on the display by the OSD function. It is determined whether or not the user has pressed a key corresponding to “display permission”. When the CPU 13 detects pressing of the key corresponding to “display permission”, the CPU 13 displays a map on the display together with the broadcast received video (for example, with a picture-in-picture function) or instead of the broadcast received video.

  (2) When displaying the map on the display, for example, the map data stored in the memory card 18 or the like is read. At this time, the map data in a predetermined range centering on the location information acquired from the broadcast wave is read (hereinafter, a part of the map data extracted for drawing is referred to as drawing target map data). Further, the CPU 13 draws image data corresponding to marking a position on the map indicated by the location information (for example, red circle image data having a diameter of only a few millimeters) based on the drawing target map data. The superimposed data is converted into a video signal by the OSD function, and the map is displayed on the display. Of course, as described above, a map display created based on drawing target map data obtained using the Internet may be performed. Further, when the map data or the drawing target map data is placed on a broadcast wave, the map data or the drawing target map data can be acquired from the broadcast wave.

  (3) Since the device location information is registered in the broadcast receiving device as described above, when reading the map data, the map data in a range including both the location information acquired from the broadcast wave and the device location information. May be read out. Then, the CPU 13 generates image data corresponding to marking the position on the map indicated by the location information and image data corresponding to marking the position on the map indicated by the device position information based on the drawing target map data. It is good also as superimposing on drawing data created in this way, making this superposed data into a video signal by an OSD function, and displaying a map on a display.

  In addition to the map display, a message such as “Do you want to display the traffic route” may be displayed. When the CPU 13 detects pressing of a key corresponding to “display traffic route”, the CPU 13 searches the traffic route and displays the traffic route on the display. Data necessary for searching for a traffic route may be stored in the memory card 18 or the like. The traffic route search method itself does not have to be special, and existing traffic route search software may be used. Of course, as described above, an image created based on traffic route data obtained using the Internet may be displayed.

[Preferred example when digital broadcasting receiver is mobile]
When a mobile digital broadcast receiver is used, a function for detecting the position of the receiver that changes from moment to moment (a global positioning system (GPS) may be used. The installed beacon may be provided with a function of grasping its own position by transmitting the position data and receiving the position data). Mobile digital broadcast receivers include a handheld type and an in-vehicle type. In the case of a vehicle-mounted type, a navigation system is preferably installed. Of course, it is better to install a navigation system even if it is handheld. The in-vehicle device includes, for example, a digital tuner unit and a navigation system (with built-in GPS), and adopts a configuration that supplies video and audio received by the digital tuner unit to the LCD monitor and speakers of the system via the navigation system. it can. The system controller of the digital tuner unit can also send and receive information (position information, control information, etc.) to and from the control unit of the navigation system. Of course, a video display monitor and a map display monitor may be provided separately. Or you may employ | adopt the structure which displays an image | video and a map on one monitor by screen division. In some cases, a digital tuner unit with a monitor is provided on the rear seat, and a car navigation system with a monitor is provided on the driver's seat side. In such a case, the digital tuner unit and the navigation system are connected by an in-vehicle LAN or the like. May transmit and receive information (such a separation type is also included in the digital broadcast receiving apparatus of the present application). Moreover, you may employ | adopt the structure which integrated the digital tuner unit and the navigation system (refer Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2003-324361).

  The processes (1) to (3) described above can also be performed in a mobile digital broadcast receiving apparatus. However, the position information obtained by the global positioning system is used as the apparatus position information.

(4) Car navigation may be executed using the device position information as the current position and the place information obtained by receiving the broadcast as the destination. For example, whether a message such as “Location information exists. Do you want to execute navigation display?” Is displayed on the display by the OSD function, and the user presses a key corresponding to “Allow navigation” (or a touch panel button). Judge whether. When the CPU 13 detects pressing of a key (or a touch panel button) corresponding to “Navigation permission”, the CPU 13 executes car navigation using the device position information as the current position and the location information obtained by receiving the broadcast as the destination.

[Example suitable for mobile phone with digital broadcast reception function]
When using a mobile phone with a digital broadcast reception function, use a system that detects the position of the mobile phone using the positional relationship between the base stations to which the mobile phone is connected as a function for detecting the position that changes every moment. Can do. In addition, navigation using the location information as a destination can be executed using a navigation system provided for mobile phones. The processes (1) to (3) described above can also be performed in a mobile phone with a digital broadcast receiving function. However, position information obtained by a function for detecting a position that changes from moment to moment is used as the apparatus position information. When a mobile phone with a digital broadcast receiving function has a network connection function, map data and the like can be acquired from a specific site via the Internet.

[Common processing]
When the type information of the contents introduced by the program is added to the currently received program in addition to the location information, the type information is extracted, and the type information is registered in the registered type information registered in advance by the user. May be configured to execute the process based on the location information described above.

  The type information will be described below. For example, if the shop introduced in the broadcast wave of the program currently being broadcast (of course, not limited to the shop) is a ramen shop, there is type information such as “ramen shop”. If the program is news such as a fire, type information such as “fire site” exists, and if the program is a travel program, type information such as “ryokan” and “famous place” exists. The type information is not limited to character information. For example, “ramen restaurant” may be code information such as “0011” and “ryokan” may be code information such as “0010”.

  User registration information is stored in a nonvolatile memory (such as the memory 14) of the broadcast receiving apparatus 30. Type information can be registered as the user registration information. The registered type information is hereinafter referred to as registered type information. The registration type information may be registered by character information input by key operation, may be selected from a list registered in advance, or a table that exists separately (for example, a table in an instruction manual) It is also possible to obtain a code from a table such as the type information-code table described in the above and input the code number.

  As described above, the CPU 13 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 30 extracts the type information when the type information of the content currently introduced by the broadcast program is added, and adds the type to the registered type information registered in advance by the user. When the information matches, processing based on the location information is executed. For example, if “Ramen shop” is not registered as registration type information, even if a ramen shop is introduced in a program, processing based on the location information (message display indicating that location information exists, Based map display, route guidance, location information storage, etc.) are not executed.

  The CPU 13 calculates a distance from the receiving device 30 to the place indicated by the location information based on the location information and the location information of the broadcast receiving device 30, and the calculated distance is a distance registered in advance by the user. When it is within the range, the process based on the location information may be executed. For example, when the user registers “range 10 km from the current position” and the ramen shop introduced in the program is located at a point 11 km from the current position, the processing based on the location information (location Message display indicating that information exists, map display based on location information, route guidance, storage of location information, etc.) are not executed.

  Of course, the message display or the like may be performed under an AND condition such that the reception type information matches the registered type information and “range from 10 km from the current position”.

  When the CPU 13 can acquire the location information and determines that the location information matches the user registration content (the registration type information and registration distance described above), the CPU 13 can perform screen display by processing based on the acquired location information. When the user performs an operation for permitting screen display, the screen display may be performed together with the broadcast reception video or instead of the broadcast reception video. As specific examples of the message display, for example, as shown in FIG. 2A, “location information exists”, “map display”, “navigation execution”, and the like correspond. “Map display”, “Navigation execution”, and “End” function as buttons, and highlights are moved onto the desired buttons by operating the highlighted part with the direction key (arrow key) of the remote control transmitter. By pressing the enter button, the process desired by the user can be executed. It should be noted that the process can be selected by operating a key having a number written on the left side of each button. In FIG. 2, contents such as “Ramen shop” which is the contents obtained by the type information are also displayed. For example, when “display map” is selected, a map is displayed at the lower right position of the screen by a picture-in-picture function or the like, as shown in FIG. In the example map, the receiving device position is displayed as the current position.

  In addition, when the location information can be acquired, the CPU 13 displays a message indicating that the acquired location information can be registered in a recording medium (such as the memory card 18), and the user performs an operation for permitting the registration. Sometimes the location information may be recorded on the recording medium. Further, when the CPU 13 can acquire the location information and agrees with the registered contents of the user (the registration type information and the registration distance described above), the acquired location information is stored in a recording medium (memory card 18 or the like). It may be recorded. Further, when information related to the content of the program can be acquired together with the location information, the program content related information (for example, store name, business hours, closed days, etc.) may be recorded.

  When recording the location information or the like, the CPU 13 displays a list of location information recorded on the recording medium (memory card 18 or the like) on the display when detecting a predetermined key operation by the user. It is good. Further, the CPU 13 may execute an image display process based on the location information (a map display display based on the location information, route guidance, etc.) for the location information selected by the user from the list. Of course, when the program content related information exists, a list of location information and program content related information may be displayed on the display.

[Insertion of location information, type information, and program content related information into broadcast waves]
For example, ARIB STD-B10 describes table identifiers and transmission criteria. The table ID value of the table set by the operator can be set within a range of 0x90 to 0xBF. The table ID value is registered and disclosed as an operator signal. When the table ID values are 0x4F to 0x6F, there is a table (hereinafter referred to as table A) such as EIT (current and next program of own stream). Also, descriptor tag values are assigned as descriptor identifiers. A descriptor having a tag value of 0xC6 is a target area descriptor (hereinafter referred to as descriptor B). Tables and descriptors are displayed in a matrix, and position information and type data can be inserted using the table A and the descriptor B. A composite descriptor for tag value expansion is also provided. If it is necessary to increase the number of available descriptors, the descriptors are encoded using a predetermined method. One sub-descriptor is placed in the composite descriptor. An area information descriptor is put in the tag of the sub-descriptor. For example, “00” → Hokkaido (from 0 byte), “01” → Aomori Prefecture (from 1 byte), and so on. That is, Hokkaido information is stored at the byte position indicated by “00”. On the broadcasting station side, when broadcasting a program introducing a ramen shop in Sapporo, a data storage area for Hokkaido existing in the byte position indicated by “00” (a predetermined byte capacity is secured). ), Place information such as the address and longitude / latitude of the ramen shop, and type information indicating the ramen shop. In the case of the above example, the receiving device determines the presence or absence of data in the data storage area for each prefecture, and the location information of the store etc. introduced in the currently broadcast program by the data acquired at the present time And type information can be acquired. Of course, if other program related information is also inserted, it can be acquired. In addition, if a new standard for placing location information, type information, etc. of a store or the like introduced in a currently broadcast program on the broadcast wave is created, the broadcast receiving device will be introduced in the currently broadcast program according to the standard. It is only necessary to acquire location information, type information, etc.
