图1是表示利用根据本发明的一个实施例的机顶盒来控制PC的装置的框图；和FIG. 1 is a block diagram representing an apparatus for controlling a PC using a set-top box according to an embodiment of the present invention; and

图2是用于解释图1所示的装置的操作的流程图。下面将参照附图详细描述本发明的实施例。FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 . Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

在图1中利用根据本发明实施例的机顶盒来控制个人计算机(PC)的装置，包括与一个监视器200相连的机顶盒300；一个提供视频服务给机顶盒300的视频服务器100，以及一个与机顶盒300连接的PC 400。该机顶盒300包括一个和视频服务器100连接的接口部分301，解码器302，一个用于输出视频信号到监视器200的视频信号输出部分303，和一个用于控制每个部件的控制器306。一个用于输出各种按键信号的按键输入部分304也连到机顶盒300。因此该机顶盒300还包括一个从按键输入部分304接收输出信号的按键信号接收器305。该机顶盒300还包括一个用于输出控制信号到PC 400的第一串行端口307和一个用于接收从PC 400输出的视频信号的视频信号输入部分308。同时该PC 400包括一个用于接收从机顶盒300中的第一串行端口307输出的控制信号的第二串行端口401，一个串行端口鼠标驱动器402，一个用于存储和执行各种程序的执行部分，和一个用于输出PC的视频信号到机顶盒300的视频存储区(videooverlay)404。下面参照图2详细描述上述构成的图1所示的装置的操作。In Fig. 1 utilize the set-top box according to the embodiment of the present invention to control the device of personal computer (PC), comprise the set-top box 300 that is connected with a monitor 200; Connected PC 400. The set-top box 300 includes an interface part 301 connected with the video server 100, a decoder 302, a video signal output part 303 for outputting video signals to the monitor 200, and a controller 306 for controlling each component. Also connected to the set top box 300 is a key input section 304 for outputting various key signals. Therefore, the set-top box 300 further includes a key signal receiver 305 for receiving an output signal from the key input part 304 . The set-top box 300 also includes a first serial port 307 for outputting control signals to the PC 400 and a video signal input section 308 for receiving video signals output from the PC 400. Simultaneously this PC 400 comprises a second serial port 401 for receiving the control signal outputted from the first serial port 307 in the set-top box 300, a serial port mouse driver 402, one for storing and executing various programs An execution part, and a video storage area (video overlay) 404 for outputting video signals of the PC to the set-top box 300 . The operation of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 constituted as described above will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 2 .

图2是用于解释图1中所示装置的操作的流程图。在机顶盒300已与机视频服务器100连接的情况下用户利用按键输入部分304接通机顶盒300(步骤210)。如果该用户通过按键输入部分304输入一个服务选择按键信号，则按键输入接收器305接收该服务选择按键信号并将其输出到控制器306。该控制器306以这样的方式控制接口部分301，即，由用户选择的该服务可以从视频服务器100接收。接口部分301从视频服务器100接收压缩的运动图像视频数据并将它输出到解码器302。该解码器302解码从接口部分301输入的视频信号并输出解码的结果到视频信号输出部分303。监视器200接收来自视频信号输出部分303的视频信号并在其上显示，它允许用户在监视器200上观看来自视频服务器100的服务(步骤211)。如果用户在当通过监视器200观看视频服务器100的服务期间经按键输入部分304输入了一个按键输入(步骤212)，则控制器306判断该输入按键是否是一个PC连接功能键(步骤213)。如果该输入按键不是一个PC连接功能键则系统操作被控制执行步骤211的操作。同时如果输入铵键是PC连接功能键，则控制器306控制将要接通的视频信号输入部分308(步骤214)。这样如果通过按键输入部分304输入了一个按键输入(步骤215)，控制器306判断该按键输入是否一个机顶盒连接功能键(步骤216)。如果该输入的按键是一个机顶盒连接功能键。则控制器306控制系统执行步骤211的操作。同时如果输入的按键不是机顶盒连接功能按键则控制器306在步骤215控制通过第一串行端口307将该输入的按键信号传送到PC 400第二串行端口401(步骤217)。例如，假设输入的按键是一个显示PC的初始图像的按键信号，则控制器306通过第一串行端口307发送一个相应的按键信号到PC 400的第二串行端口401。传送到第二串行端口401的信号被输入到串行端口鼠标驱动器402。该串行端口鼠标驱动器402控制第二串行端口401的一个寄存器(未示出)并缓冲该接收到的数据。该串行端口鼠标驱动器402还将从第二串行端口401输入的信号转换成一个能够在执行部分403中处理的信号，并输出该转换的结果。因此串行端口鼠标驱动器402被驱动时PC400的初始图像通过执行部分403来执行，在执行部分403中存储了操作系统和应用程序与普通计算机执行的功能相同，然后将执行的结果输出到视频存储区(overlay)404。这里视频存储区404是一个用在PC中的普通视频存储卡(video overlay card)，它支持一种功能，将由执行部分403产生的视频数据作为模拟视频信号输出以便被显示在监视器200上。该视频存储区404对PC初始图像进行信号处理以与监视器200的规格匹配并将处理的结果输出到机顶盒300中视频信号输入部分308。因为视频信号输入部分308在步骤214接通，用来接收PC初始图像以便将它输出到视频信号输出部分303。视频信号输出部分303将输入的PC初始图像输出到监视器200。在该PC的初始图像已显示到监视器上之后用户可以利用机顶盒300中的按键输入部分304来控制PC 400。这里当用户利用该按键输入部分304输入了一个用于控制PC的按键输入信号时，则操作返回到步骤215，然后重复执行相同的处理，从而控制PC。FIG. 2 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. In the case that the set-top box 300 has been connected with the set-top video server 100, the user turns on the set-top box 300 by using the key input part 304 (step 210). If the user inputs a service selection key signal through the key input part 304 , the key input receiver 305 receives the service selection key signal and outputs it to the controller 306 . The controller 306 controls the interface section 301 in such a manner that the service selected by the user can be received from the video server 100 . The interface section 301 receives compressed moving picture video data from the video server 100 and outputs it to the decoder 302 . The decoder 302 decodes the video signal input from the interface section 301 and outputs the decoded result to the video signal output section 303 . The monitor 200 receives and displays the video signal from the video signal output section 303, which allows the user to watch the service from the video server 100 on the monitor 200 (step 211). If the user inputs a key input via the key input section 304 (step 212) while watching the service of the video server 100 through the monitor 200, the controller 306 judges whether the input key is a PC connection function key (step 213). If the input key is not a PC connection function key, the system operation is controlled to perform the operation of step 211 . Meanwhile, if the input key is a PC connection function key, the controller 306 controls the video signal input part 308 to be turned on (step 214). In this way, if a key input is input through the key input part 304 (step 215), the controller 306 judges whether the key input is a set-top box connection function key (step 216). If the input key is a set-top box connection function key. Then the controller 306 controls the system to perform the operation of step 211 . Simultaneously if the button of input is not set-top box connection function button then controller 306 controls in step 215 and transmits the button signal of this input to PC 400 second serial port 401 (step 217) by first serial port 307. For example, assuming that the input key is a key signal for displaying the initial image of the PC, the controller 306 sends a corresponding key signal to the second serial port 401 of the PC 400 through the first serial port 307. The signal transmitted to the second serial port 401 is input to a serial port mouse driver 402 . The serial port mouse driver 402 controls a register (not shown) of the second serial port 401 and buffers the received data. The serial port mouse driver 402 also converts the signal input from the second serial port 401 into a signal that can be processed in the execution section 403, and outputs the result of the conversion. Therefore, when the serial port mouse driver 402 is driven, the initial image of the PC 400 is carried out by the execution part 403, the operating system and the application program are stored in the execution part 403. Area (overlay) 404 . The video storage area 404 here is an ordinary video memory card (video overlay card) used in a PC, which supports a function of outputting video data generated by the execution section 403 as an analog video signal so as to be displayed on the monitor 200. The video storage area 404 performs signal processing on the PC original image to match the specifications of the monitor 200 and outputs the processed result to the video signal input section 308 in the set top box 300 . Because the video signal input section 308 is turned on at step 214 for receiving the PC initial image to output it to the video signal output section 303 . The video signal output section 303 outputs the input PC original image to the monitor 200 . The user can utilize the key input section 304 in the set-top box 300 to control the PC 400 after the initial image of the PC has been displayed on the monitor. Here, when the user inputs a key input signal for controlling the PC using the key input section 304, the operation returns to step 215, and then the same processing is repeatedly performed, thereby controlling the PC.

在上述的实施例中监视器与机顶盒连接。然而连接有机顶盒的TV可以实现和上述实施例相同的功能。In the above embodiments the monitor is connected to the set top box. However, the TV connected with the set-top box can realize the same function as the above-mentioned embodiment.

如上所述根据本发明的利用机顶盒来控制PC的装置提供了实用上的方便，这是由于在用户接收视频服务并观看它时，用户可以利用机顶盒中的遥控器和一个监视器来控制PC。The apparatus for controlling a PC using a set-top box according to the present invention as described above provides practical convenience because the user can control the PC with a remote controller and a monitor in the set-top box while the user receives video service and watches it.

在此虽然特别描述了本发明的特定实施例，但很明显在不脱离本发明的精神和范围的情况下可以作出各种改进。While particular embodiments of the invention have been described herein, it will be apparent that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
