Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fernbedienung für ein Empfangs gerät der Unterhaltungselektronik mit digitalem Abstimmsys tem und Mitteln zum Videotext-Empfang, wobei im Gerät ein Mikroprozessor und dazugehörende Speicher angeordnet sind und die Fernbedienung in bekannter Weise Tasten für die Pro grammwahl, Umschaltung auf Videotext-Empfang sowie der übri gen am Gerät zu steuernden Funktionen besitzt.The invention relates to a remote control for reception consumer electronics with digital voting system system and means for receiving teletext, one in the device Microprocessor and associated memory are arranged and the remote control buttons for the Pro in a known manner gram selection, switching to teletext reception and the rest functions on the device.
Empfangsgeräte der Unterhaltungselektronik sind beispiels weise Fernsehgeräte und Videorecorder.Consumer electronics receivers are an example wise televisions and VCRs.
Der Benutzer eines derartigen Gerätes entnimmt üblicherwei se die Informationen über das Sendeprogramm des Tages oder der nächsten Tage aus einer Fernsehzeitschrift bzw. einer Tageszeitung.The user of such a device usually removes se the information about the program of the day or the next few days from a television magazine or a Daily newspaper.
Bei Geräten, die Mittel zum Videotext-Empfang be sitzen, könnten diese Informationen auch aus den speziellen Videotext-(Teletext)-Seiten entnommen werden. Hierzu muß der Benutzer über eine dreistellige Tastenwahl die dem ge wünschtem Programm entsprechende Videotext-Seite aufrufen. Die Wartezeit beträgt dann 10 bis 15 Sekunden, bis die ent sprechende Videotext-Seite in einen Speicher eingelesen ist und auf dem Bildschirm des Fernsehgerätes erscheint, wobei das Fernsehgerät als Monitor dient, wenn der Videotext-De coder im Videorecorder angeordnet ist. Wenn anschließend weitere Programme von anderen zu empfangenden Sendestatio nen jeweils dreistellig eingetippt werden und dann jedesmal 10 bis 15 Sekunden gewartet werden muß, ist dieses Verfah ren sehr umständlich. Auch das Eintippen der kleinen Zif ferntasten ist in dunklen Räumen mühsam und erfordert oft eine Lesebrille. Schließlich muß der Benutzer die zur jewei ligen Senderkette gehörenden Videotext-Seitennummern entwe der auswendig wissen oder vorher eine spezielle Videotext- Seite mit Inhaltsverzeichnis abrufen.For devices that are means for receiving teletext sit, this information could also come from the special Teletext (Teletext) pages are taken. To do this the user via a three-digit key selection the ge Call the desired teletext page for the desired program. The waiting time is then 10 to 15 seconds until the ent speaking teletext page is read into a memory and appears on the TV screen, where the television serves as a monitor when the teletext de coder is arranged in the video recorder. If afterwards other programs from other broadcasting stations to be received be typed in three digits and then each time If you have to wait 10 to 15 seconds, this is the procedure very cumbersome. Also typing in the small digits Remote control is tedious in dark rooms and often requires reading glasses. Finally, the user has to do so teletext page numbers belonging to the station chain who know by heart or beforehand a special teletext Get page with table of contents.
Aus den angeführten Gründen wird das Videotext-System bis her kaum als Ersatz für die gedruckte Programmzeitung akzep tiert.For the reasons given, the teletext system is up hardly a substitute for the printed program newspaper accept animals.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Fernbedienung der ein gangs genannten Art anzugeben, die ein schnelles Auffinden von Videotext-Sendeprogrammseiten gestattet.The object of the invention is a remote control of the Specify the type mentioned above, which is quick to find allowed from teletext broadcast program pages.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Fernbedienung eine gegenüber den anderen Bedienungstasten abgesetzte zusätzliche Kombi-Taste besitzt, mit der der Em pfänger gleichzeitig sowohl auf Videotext-Empfang als auch auf eine dem jeweils empfangenen Programm entsprechende Sen deprogramm-Seite des Videotextes geschaltet werden kann.This object is achieved in that the Remote control one versus the other control buttons separate combination key with which the Em receiver on both teletext reception as well to a Sen corresponding to the program received Deprogramm page of the teletext can be switched.
Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn die Fernbedienung zusätzliche Tasten aufweist, mit denen auf Sendeprogramm-Seiten für die folgen den Tage weitergeblättert bzw. die Sendeprogramm-Seiten sei tenweise zurückgeblättert werden können.It is advantageous if the remote control has additional buttons with which to follow on broadcast program pages for the scrolled through the days or the program pages can be scrolled back in parts.
Die Vorteile des Gegenstandes der Erfindung werden anhand der folgenden Ausführungsbeispiele näher erläutert.The advantages of the subject matter of the invention are illustrated of the following embodiments explained.
In der dazugehörenden Zeichnung zeigen die Fig. 1 und 2 zwei verschiedene Ausgestaltungen einer erfindungsgemäßen Fernbedienung für ein Fernsehgerät.In the associated drawings Fig. 1 and 2 show two different embodiments of a remote control for a television set according to the invention.
In der Fig. 1 ist eine Fernbedienung 1 dargestellt, die mit tels eines in der Figur nicht dargestellten Senders (z.B. In frarot oder Ultraschall) ein (codiertes) Signal sendet, das von einem am Fernsehgerät angeordneten Empfänger aufgenom men und weiterverarbeitet wird. Die Fernbedienung 1 besitzt ein erstes Tastenfeld 2 mit den üblichen Zifferntasten zum Eingeben des gewünschten Programmes bzw. der Videotext-Pro grammseite.In Fig. 1, a remote control 1 is shown, the means of a transmitter not shown in the figure (for example, in infrared or ultrasound) sends a (coded) signal, which is recorded and processed by a receiver arranged on the television set. The remote control 1 has a first keypad 2 with the usual numeric keys for entering the desired program or the Teletext program page.
Weiterhin besitzt die Fernbedienung 1 eine Taste 3 zur Spei cherung, eine Taste 4 zum Tonstop, eine Taste 5 zum Umschal ten auf Videotext und eine Taste 6 zum Einstellen eines "Nor malwertes" für die üblichen Fernseh-Bild- bzw. Toninforma tionen.Furthermore, the remote control 1 has a button 3 for storage, a button 4 for sound stop, a button 5 for switching to teletext and a button 6 for setting a "normal value" for the usual television picture or sound information.
Die Tasten 7 dienen zum Einstellen der Lautstärke, die Tasten 8 zum Einstellen der Farbsättigung, die Tasten 9 zum Einstellen des Kontrastes und die Tasten 10 zum Ein stellen der Bildhelligkeit. Die Fernbedienung besitzt ei ne gegenüber den anderen Bedienungstasten 2 bis 10 abge setzte zusätzliche Kombi-Taste A, die zum gleichzeitigen Umschalten des Fernsehempfängers auf Videotext-Empfang und zum Aufsuchen der dem jeweils empfangenen Programm entspre chenden Sende-Programm-Seite des Videotextes dient.The buttons 7 are used to adjust the volume, the buttons 8 to adjust the color saturation, the buttons 9 to adjust the contrast and the buttons 10 to adjust the image brightness. The remote control has an additional combi button A compared to the other control buttons 2 to 10 , which is used to switch the television receiver to teletext reception at the same time and to search for the broadcast program page of the teletext that corresponds to the program received.
Da die Taste A von den anderen Tasten 2 bis 10 abgesetzt ist, kann sie im dunklen Raum leicht gefunden werden. Wei terhin ist durch die Verknüpfung von Programmnummer und der dazugehörenden Videotext-Sendeprogramm-Seite erreicht, daß der Benutzer die jeweiligen Videotext-Sendeprogramm-Sei ten nicht zu wissen braucht.Since key A is separated from the other keys 2 to 10 , it can be found easily in the dark room. Wei terhin is achieved by linking the program number and the associated teletext broadcast program page that the user does not need to know the respective teletext broadcast program pages.
Die genannte Verknüpfung wird dadurch erreicht, daß bei dem digitalen Abstimmsystem des Fernsehempfängers im Speicher (ROM oder NVM) des Mikroprozessors festgehalten ist, daß zum Programm 1 die Videotext-Seite x 1 y 1 z 1, zum Programm 2 die Videotext-Seite x 2 y 2 z 2 und allgemein zum Programm m die Videotext-Seite x m y m z m gehören.The aforementioned link is achieved in that the digital tuning system of the television receiver stores in the memory (ROM or NVM) of the microprocessor that for program 1 the teletext page x 1 y 1 z 1 , for program 2 the teletext page x 2 y 2 z 2 and generally the program m includes the teletext page x m y m z m .
Diese Videotext-Seiten werden beim Einprogrammieren der entsprechenden Programme und Kanäle miteinprogrammiert, bei spielsweise, indem nach dem Programmieren des Programms und des dazugehörenden Kanals die Taste A gedrückt, dann die entsprechende Videotext-Seite mit Hilfe der Zifferntasten 2 eingegeben wird und der Programmiervorgang durch Drücken der Speichertaste 3 beendet wird.These teletext pages are programmed when the corresponding programs and channels are programmed, for example, by pressing the A key after programming the program and the associated channel, then entering the corresponding teletext page using the number keys 2 and pressing to program the memory button 3 is ended.
Beim Betrieb des Fernsehempfängers, bei dem beispielsweise gerade das zweite Programm empfangen wird, braucht der Be nutzer somit - wenn er sich über das Programmangebot infor mieren möchte - nur die Taste A (TV-Programm) zu drücken, so daß der Fernsehempfänger automatisch auf Videotext um schaltet und die zum gerade empfangenen Sender passende TV-Programmtafel anzeigt.When operating the television receiver, in which, for example, the second program is currently being received, the user only needs to press the button A (TV program) so that the television receiver automatically switches to teletext - if he wants to find out about the range of programs on offer toggles and displays the TV program board that matches the station being received.
Die Taste A kann dabei so ausgelegt sein, daß entweder zum Um- und Zurückschalten zweimal gedrückt werden muß, oder aber, daß die entsprechende TV-Programmtafel solange gezeigt wird, wie die Taste A gedrückt wird und beim Loslassen wieder ins Fernsehprogramm zurückgeschaltet wird.The key A can be designed so that either to switch back and forth must be pressed twice, or that the corresponding TV program board is shown as long as the key A is pressed and switched back to the TV program when released.
Neben der Taste A besitzt die Fernbedienung 1 zwei zusätz liche Tasten B und C, die auf beiden Seiten der Kombi-Taste A angeordnet sind. Bei Druck auf die Taste B erscheint die TV-Programmtafel des nächsten Tages auf dem Bildschirm. Ein weiterer Druck auf die Taste B ruft die Videotext-Seite mit dem Sendeprogramm des übernächsten Tages auf. Durch Drücken der Taste C kann seitenweise zurückgesprungen werden.In addition to button A , remote control 1 has two additional buttons B and C , which are located on both sides of combination button A. When you press the B button, the next day's TV program board appears on the screen. Pressing the B button again calls up the teletext page with the program for the day after next. You can jump back one page at a time by pressing the C key.
Der Mikroprozessor des Videotext-Decoders ist dabei vorteil haft so programmiert, daß automatisch zu jeder gerade em pfangenen Seite die nächste Seite in den Seitenspeicher ein gelesen wird.The microprocessor of the teletext decoder is advantageous programmed in such a way that automatically em the next page in the page memory is read.
Neben dem oben geschilderten sprungartigen Seitenwechsel kann auch ein sogenanntes "soft scrolling" erzeugt werden, bei dem die Seite langsam über den Bildschirm "rollt" und auf diese Weise vom Programm des heutigen Tages in das des nächsten hinüberwechselt. Diese Funktion kann auch in Ver bindung mit einem System genutzt werden, bei dem durch Vi deotext ein Videorecorder auf bestimmte An- und Abschalt zeiten programmiert wird, wie es z.B. in "Funkschau", Heft 11/1986, S. 40 bis 43, beschrieben ist. Hierbei kann eine mit einem Cursor markierte Programmzeile durch Tastendruck in den Vorwahlspeicher eines Videorecorders einprogrammiert werden. Dabei könnte beispielsweise mit den Tasten B und C der Cursor bewegt und gleichzeitig per "soft scrolling" auf den nächsten Tag übergewechselt werden.In addition to the abrupt page change described above, so-called "soft scrolling" can also be generated, in which the page "rolls" slowly over the screen and thus changes from the program of today to that of the next. This function can also be used in conjunction with a system in which a video recorder is programmed for certain on and off times by video text, as described, for example, in "Funkschau", issue 11/1986, pp. 40 to 43 is. Here, a program line marked with a cursor can be programmed into the preset memory of a video recorder by pressing a key. For example, the B and C keys could be used to move the cursor and switch to the next day at the same time using "soft scrolling".
Bei dem geschilderten System ist es gleichgültig, ob der Videotext-Decoder und der dazugehörende Mikroprozessor im Fernsehempfänger oder im Videorecorder eingebaut ist. Im letzteren Falle dient der über Video- oder Antennenkabel verbundene Fernsehempfänger als Monitor.In the system described, it does not matter whether the Teletext decoder and the associated microprocessor in the TV receiver or built-in VCR. in the the latter case is used via video or antenna cables connected television receiver as a monitor.
Die übliche Wartezeit von 10 bis 15 Sekunden beim Umschal ten auf Videotext und entsprechende TV-Programmtafeln mit der Taste A kann vorteilhaft dadurch verkürzt werden, daß beim (Ein)-Schalten des Fernsehgerätes auf das entsprechen de Programm die diesem Programm zugehörigen Sendeprogramm- Seitennummern sofort in den Videotext-Speicher eingelesen werden. Dadurch erhält man einen direkten Zugriff auf die TV-Programmseite ohne Wartezeit.The usual waiting time of 10 to 15 seconds when switching to teletext and corresponding TV program boards with key A can advantageously be shortened by immediately switching the television set to the corresponding program when the television is switched to the corresponding program be read into the teletext memory. This gives you direct access to the TV program page without waiting.
In der Fig. 2 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform einer Fern bedienung 11 dargestellt, bei der die Tasten A, B und C nicht am unteren Ende des Gerätes wie bei der Fig. 1 son dern an der Seite angeordnet sind.In Fig. 2 another embodiment of a remote control 11 is shown, in which the keys A , B and C are not arranged at the bottom of the device as in Fig. 1 son on the side.
Die geschilderte Abspeicherung der TV-Programmseiten ge schieht beispielsweise dadurch, daß im Videotext-Decoder ein zusätzlicher nichtflüchtiger Speicher (NVM) angeord net ist, in dem die zum gerade empfangenen Fernsehprogramm gehörenden Sendeprogramm-Seitenzahlen gespeichert sind, und ferner ein weiterer Speicher (DRAM oder SRAM) für den Seiteninhalt enthalten ist. Die Speicherkapazität bestimmt sich jeweils daraus, daß pro Programmseitenzahl 12 Bit im ersten Speicher und pro Seiteninhalt 8 kBit im zweiten Speicher vorhanden sind.The described storage of the TV program pages ge happens, for example, in that in the teletext decoder an additional non-volatile memory (NVM) is arranged is net, in which the television program just received associated program number are stored, and further another memory (DRAM or SRAM) for the Page content is included. The storage capacity determines each from the fact that 12 bits per program page number in first memory and 8 kBit per page content in the second Memory are available.
