Description
本発明は、アナログ放送波を受信可能な放送受信装置等に関する。
The present invention relates to a broadcast receiving apparatus that can receive analog broadcast waves.
従来から、アナログ放送の電波受信環境によっては、テレビジョン信号の周波数と規定の周波数との間にずれが生じることがある。そのため、近年のテレビジョン信号受信装置には、オートチューニング機能として、自動的に周波数のずれを吸収するAFT(Auto Fine Tuning)やAFC(Auto Frequency Control)等が備えられている。このAFTおよびAFCを備えたテレビジョン信号受信装置の例として、特許文献1が挙げられる。
Conventionally, there may be a deviation between the frequency of the television signal and the specified frequency depending on the radio wave reception environment for analog broadcasting. For this reason, recent television signal receiving apparatuses are equipped with AFT (Auto-Fine-Tuning), AFC (Auto-Frequency Control), etc., which automatically absorb frequency shifts, as an auto-tuning function. As an example of a television signal receiving apparatus provided with this AFT and AFC, Patent Document 1 is cited.
特許文献1の技術では、設定した標準周波数(固定の周波数)において映像信号が検出された場合のみ音声信号の有無を判断し、且つ音声信号を検出するときに各テレビシステムを順に変更して検索することにより、複数のテレビシステムを考慮して検索時間の短縮を可能にしている。
In the technique of Patent Document 1, the presence / absence of an audio signal is determined only when a video signal is detected at a set standard frequency (fixed frequency), and each TV system is changed in order when detecting the audio signal. By doing so, it is possible to shorten the search time in consideration of a plurality of television systems.
しかしながら、特許文献1の技術では、アナログ信号のテレビシステム固有のフィルタを特に考慮せずに、局判別を行っている。すなわち、固定の周波数と隣接する範囲内の周波数を有するテレビジョン信号が存在する可能性を考慮せずに、チューナの受信設定周波数を変更して、当該周波数に対応するテレビシステムの検出を行っている。それゆえ、不適切なフィルタが設定された場合には、誤ったテレビシステムが検出される可能性があり、一概に検索時間の短縮が図れない可能性があった。
However, in the technique of Patent Document 1, station discrimination is performed without particularly considering the analog signal television system-specific filter. That is, without considering the possibility that there is a television signal having a fixed frequency and a frequency within an adjacent range, the reception setting frequency of the tuner is changed and the television system corresponding to the frequency is detected. Yes. Therefore, when an inappropriate filter is set, an erroneous television system may be detected, and there is a possibility that the search time cannot be generally shortened.
すなわち、特許文献1の技術では、複数のテレビシステムが混在するアナログ放送波の受信環境においてチャンネルサーチ処理を行う場合に、固定の周波数による一意的なフィルタ設定により、テレビシステムの誤判別を行ってしまう可能性があった。
That is, in the technique of Patent Document 1, when channel search processing is performed in an analog broadcast wave reception environment in which a plurality of television systems coexist, the television system is erroneously identified by a unique filter setting with a fixed frequency. There was a possibility.
ここで、図9および図10に基づいて、従来のチャンネルサーチ(チャンネルスキャン)処理について説明する。図9は、チャンネルA(Channel A)およびチャンネルB(Channel B)のテレビジョン信号が隣接して存在している様子の一例を示す図である。また、図10は、従来のフィルタ設定とテレビシステム(カラーシステムおよびサウンドシステム)の判別結果との一例を示す図である。
Here, a conventional channel search (channel scan) process will be described based on FIG. 9 and FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a state in which television signals of channel A (Channel チ ャ ン ネ ル A) and channel B (Channel 隣接 B) exist adjacent to each other. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the conventional filter setting and the discrimination result of the television system (color system and sound system).
図9の例では、チャンネルAのテレビジョン信号A100とチャンネルBのテレビジョン信号B100との周波数帯域がそれぞれ6MHzであり、チャンネルAおよびBの中心周波数の間隔も6MHzである。また、従来のテレビジョン信号受信装置では、6MHzのフィルタおよび8MHzのフィルタの設定を行うことが可能となっているものとする。また、図9のテレビジョン信号の例では、チャンネルAのカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムはそれぞれ「NTSC3.58」、「MN」であるとする。
In the example of FIG. 9, the frequency bands of the television signal A100 of channel A and the television signal B100 of channel B are each 6 MHz, and the interval between the center frequencies of channels A and B is 6 MHz. In the conventional television signal receiving apparatus, it is possible to set a 6 MHz filter and an 8 MHz filter. In the example of the television signal in FIG. 9, the color system and sound system of channel A are “NTSC 3.58” and “MN”, respectively.
従来のテレビジョン受信信号装置では、1つのチャンネルに対して6MHzの周波数帯域を有するフィルタ(以降、6MHzのフィルタ)および8MHzの周波数帯域を有するフィルタ(以降、8MHzのフィルタ)の両方の設定を行った後に、カラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムの判別を行う。そして、そのチャンネルのカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムが有効であると判別された場合に、当該チャンネルの局登録を行う。
In a conventional television reception signal apparatus, both a filter having a 6 MHz frequency band (hereinafter referred to as a 6 MHz filter) and a filter having an 8 MHz frequency band (hereinafter referred to as an 8 MHz filter) are set for one channel. After that, the color system and the sound system are discriminated. When it is determined that the color system and sound system of the channel are valid, station registration for the channel is performed.
例えば、図9に示すチャンネルAの局登録を行う場合、図10の(a)で示すように、6MHzのフィルタの設定を行った場合には、当該フィルタの周波数帯域とテレビジョン信号A100の周波数帯域とが略一致するため、その後のカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムの判別においては、有効なカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムを得ることができる。同図の例では、チャンネルAのカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムの判別結果として、「NTSC3.58/MN」という有効な判別結果(カラーシステム/サウンドシステム)Aが得られる。
For example, when station registration for channel A shown in FIG. 9 is performed, as shown in FIG. 10A, when a 6 MHz filter is set, the frequency band of the filter and the frequency of the television signal A100 are set. Since the bands substantially coincide with each other, an effective color system and sound system can be obtained in the subsequent determination of the color system and sound system. In the example shown in the figure, an effective discrimination result (color system / sound system) A of “NTSC 3.58 / MN” is obtained as the discrimination result of the color system and sound system of channel A.
一方、従来のテレビジョン信号受信装置では、図10の(b)で示すように、8MHzのフィルタの設定を行った場合には、図9に示すようにテレビジョン信号A100およびB100の周波数帯域は6MHzであるため、テレビジョン信号B100の一部もあわせてフィルタリングされてしまう。そのため、そのテレビジョン信号B100の一部を含めてチャンネルAのテレビジョン信号としてフィルタリングされてしまう。したがって、8MHzのフィルタの設定を行った場合には、チャンネルAのカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムの判別結果として、上記有効な判別結果Aとは異なる誤った判別結果、例えば「NTSC4.43/BG」などの判別結果Bが得られることになる。
On the other hand, in the conventional television signal receiving apparatus, when an 8 MHz filter is set as shown in FIG. 10B, the frequency bands of the television signals A100 and B100 are as shown in FIG. Since it is 6 MHz, a part of the television signal B100 is also filtered. Therefore, a part of the television signal B100 is filtered as a channel A television signal. Therefore, when an 8 MHz filter is set, an erroneous discrimination result different from the valid discrimination result A, such as “NTSC 4.43 / BG”, as the discrimination result of the channel A color system and sound system. The determination result B is obtained.
この場合、従来のテレビジョン信号受信装置では、チャンネルAのカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムの判別結果として、いずれの判別結果を採用するかを判別することができなくなり、誤って判別結果Bを採用してしまう可能性があった。
In this case, in the conventional television signal receiving apparatus, it becomes impossible to determine which determination result is adopted as the determination result of the color system and the sound system of channel A, and the determination result B is erroneously adopted. There was a possibility.
また、上記とは異なり、従来のテレビジョン信号受信装置が、地域または国に応じて設定されている1種類のフィルタを用いる場合には、以下のような問題が生じる可能性がある。
Also, unlike the above, when a conventional television signal receiving apparatus uses one type of filter set according to the region or country, the following problems may occur.
一般に、地域または国ごとに標準のカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムが予め決められている。このため、これらのシステムに対応する1種類のフィルタが設定されることにより、チャンネルごとに有効なカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムを取得することは可能である。
Generally, a standard color system and sound system are predetermined for each region or country. For this reason, it is possible to acquire an effective color system and sound system for each channel by setting one type of filter corresponding to these systems.
しかし、国境付近の地域またはSTB(セットトップボックス)からの信号等が同一アンテナ上に混在している場合、特に標準のカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムとは異なるカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムで規定された信号が混在している場合には、各テレビジョン信号のカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムを精度よく判別できない可能性があった。
However, when signals from regions near the border or STB (Set Top Box) are mixed on the same antenna, signals specified by a color system and sound system that are different from the standard color system and sound system in particular. If they are mixed, the color system and sound system of each television signal may not be accurately discriminated.
例えば、ある国(例えば中国)の標準のカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムがそれぞれ「PAL」、「DK」に設定されている場合、チャンネルサーチにおいては、これらのシステムに対応する8MHzのフィルタの設定が行われる。
For example, when the standard color system and sound system of a certain country (for example, China) are set to “PAL” and “DK”, respectively, the filter of 8 MHz corresponding to these systems is set in the channel search. Is called.
このとき、「NTSC3.58/MN」というカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムで規定された信号(6MHzのフィルタが適用されるべき信号)が混在した場合には、図10の(b)に示すように、8MHzのフィルタの設定によって、当該信号のカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムを誤って「NTSC4.43/BG」などと判別してしまう可能性があった。そして、信号の受信状態によっては、無効なカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムと判別され、この信号の局登録を行うことができない可能性があった。
At this time, when signals defined by the color system and the sound system of “NTSC 3.58 / MN” (signals to which a 6 MHz filter is to be applied) are mixed, as shown in FIG. Depending on the setting of the 8 MHz filter, the color system and sound system of the signal may be mistakenly identified as “NTSC 4.43 / BG” or the like. Depending on the reception state of the signal, it may be determined that the color system and the sound system are invalid, and there is a possibility that station registration of this signal cannot be performed.
このように、カラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムの判別において、例えば6MHzのフィルタ設定が必要である場合に、このフィルタとは異なる7MHzまたは8MHzのフィルタ設定がなされた場合には、適切なカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムの判別結果を得られない可能性があった。すなわち、複数のカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムを有するテレビジョン信号が混在するアナログ放送環境でチャンネルサーチ処理を行う場合においては、カラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムを誤って判別してしまう可能性があった。
As described above, in the determination of the color system and the sound system, for example, when the filter setting of 6 MHz is necessary, and the filter setting of 7 MHz or 8 MHz different from this filter is made, the appropriate color system and sound system are set. There was a possibility that the result of discrimination could not be obtained. That is, in the case where the channel search process is performed in an analog broadcasting environment where television signals having a plurality of color systems and sound systems are mixed, there is a possibility that the color system and the sound system are erroneously determined.
アナログ放送が放送されている地域(特に国境付近の地域)では、上述のように、複数の放送局が発信するテレビジョン信号が混信した状態で、テレビジョン信号受信装置が受信する可能性がある。発展途上国などでは未だアナログ放送が主流な地域も多く、アナログ放送の需要は依然として衰えていない。しかし、テレビジョン信号受信装置が備えるオートチューニング機能(自動チャンネルスキャン制御)によっては、上記複数のテレビシステムを正確に判別できず、テレビジョン信号を受信したとき、映像に色が付かない、音が鳴らない、などの問題が発生する場合があった。このように、デジタル放送未普及のアナログ放送地域では、ストレスなくテレビジョン信号を受信できる機能を有する装置が求められている。
In an area where analog broadcasting is broadcast (particularly in the vicinity of the border), as described above, there is a possibility that the television signal receiving apparatus receives the signal while the television signals transmitted from a plurality of broadcasting stations are mixed. . In developing countries, there are many areas where analog broadcasting is still mainstream, and the demand for analog broadcasting has not declined. However, depending on the auto-tuning function (automatic channel scan control) provided in the television signal receiving device, the plurality of television systems cannot be accurately identified, and when the television signal is received, the video is not colored, and there is no sound. There were cases where problems such as not sounding occurred. As described above, in an analog broadcasting area where digital broadcasting is not widely used, a device having a function capable of receiving a television signal without stress is required.
本発明は、上記の問題点に鑑みてなされたものであって、その目的は、アナログ放送における放送方式の検出精度を向上させることが可能な放送受信装置等を提供することにある。

チューナ3は、受信したテレビジョン信号に基づく映像信号(CVBS、コンポジット信号)および音声信号を生成し、これらの信号を映像・音声処理回路4に送信する。チューナ3は、当該処理を行うために、IF変換処理回路31、フィルタ設定回路32およびアナログ復調処理回路(復調回路)33を備えている。
The tuner 3 generates a video signal (CVBS, composite signal) and an audio signal based on the received television signal, and transmits these signals to the video / audio processing circuit 4. The tuner 3 includes an IF conversion processing circuit 31, a filter setting circuit 32, and an analog demodulation processing circuit (demodulation circuit) 33 in order to perform the processing.
IF変換処理回路31は、受信したテレビジョン信号であるRF(無線周波数)信号を、IF(中間周波数)信号に変換し、当該IF信号をフィルタ設定回路32に送信する。
The IF conversion processing circuit 31 converts an RF (radio frequency) signal that is a received television signal into an IF (intermediate frequency) signal, and transmits the IF signal to the filter setting circuit 32.
フィルタ設定回路32は、受信したIF信号に対する処理を後段のアナログ復調処理回路33が行うことが可能なように、IFフィルタを用いて、当該IF信号のうち特定の周波数帯域内のIF信号のみを通過させるものである。このIFフィルタを通過したIF信号が、アナログ復調処理回路33に送信される。
The filter setting circuit 32 uses an IF filter so that only the IF signal within a specific frequency band of the IF signal is used so that the subsequent analog demodulation processing circuit 33 can process the received IF signal. It is to pass through. The IF signal that has passed through the IF filter is transmitted to the analog demodulation processing circuit 33.
アナログ復調処理回路33は、受信したIF信号に対して復調処理を行うことにより、上述の映像信号および音声信号(これらを総称して復調信号とする)を生成し、当該復調信号を映像・音声処理回路4に送信する。すなわち、アナログ復調処理回路33は、IF信号から復調信号への信号変換処理を行う部材である。
The analog demodulation processing circuit 33 performs demodulation processing on the received IF signal to generate the above-described video signal and audio signal (collectively referred to as a demodulated signal), and uses the demodulated signal as video / audio. Transmit to the processing circuit 4. That is, the analog demodulation processing circuit 33 is a member that performs signal conversion processing from an IF signal to a demodulated signal.
また、チューナ3は、チャンネルサーチ時に、アンテナ2を介して、複数のチャンネルのそれぞれに対応するテレビジョン信号を受信する。すなわち、チューナ3は、複数の局のそれぞれが有する周波数帯域をテレビジョン信号として検出している。
The tuner 3 receives a television signal corresponding to each of a plurality of channels via the antenna 2 at the time of channel search. That is, the tuner 3 detects a frequency band possessed by each of the plurality of stations as a television signal.
ここで、異なる放送方式(カラーシステムおよびサウンドシステム)で規定されたテレビジョン信号が混在している環境においては、各放送方式に適した周波数帯域を有するフィルタ(チューナフィルタ)をアナログ復調処理回路33に設定した上で、後段のカラー・サウンド判別処理回路41において当該信号の放送方式の判別を行う必要がある。
Here, in an environment where television signals defined by different broadcasting systems (color system and sound system) are mixed, a filter (tuner filter) having a frequency band suitable for each broadcasting system is connected to the analog demodulation processing circuit 33. After that, it is necessary to determine the broadcasting system of the signal in the color / sound discrimination processing circuit 41 in the subsequent stage.
上述したように、各放送方式と上記フィルタが有する周波数帯域との対応関係は予め決められている。そのため、ある放送方式で規定されたテレビジョン信号に対して、当該放送方式と対応していない周波数帯域を有するフィルタを作用させた場合、すなわち不適切なフィルタ設定が行われた場合には、テレビジョン信号の受信状況によっては、その後の放送方式の判別結果として所望の判別結果が得られない(テレビジョン信号に規定された放送方式と一致しない)可能性がある。
As described above, the correspondence between each broadcasting system and the frequency band of the filter is determined in advance. Therefore, when a filter having a frequency band not corresponding to the broadcasting system is applied to a television signal defined by a certain broadcasting system, that is, when an inappropriate filter setting is performed, Depending on the reception status of the television signal, there is a possibility that a desired discrimination result cannot be obtained as a subsequent broadcast format discrimination result (does not match the broadcast format specified in the television signal).
一方で、チャンネルサーチ時に、対象周波数帯域(その帯域に含まれる復調信号)に対して、各放送方式に対応したフィルタ(例えば、6MHz、7MHz、8MHzのフィルタの全て)を順次作用させた後に当該対象周波数帯域に対する放送方式の判別を行うとなると、正常な局登録が可能な判別結果を得るまでに時間を要する可能性がある。また、誤ったテレビシステムにて局登録がなされてしまう可能性もある。
On the other hand, after channel filters (for example, all filters of 6 MHz, 7 MHz, and 8 MHz) are sequentially applied to the target frequency band (the demodulated signal included in the band) during channel search, When determining the broadcasting system for the target frequency band, it may take time to obtain a determination result that allows normal station registration. There is also a possibility that the station registration is made by an incorrect television system.
本実施形態においては、アナログ復調処理回路33は、局を有する周波数帯域(チャンネル)の検出が全て行われた後に、(1)上記検出されたテレビジョン信号が有する周波数帯域のそれぞれの中心周波数を確認し、(2)チャンネルサーチの対象(放送方式の判別を行う対象)となる対象周波数帯域の中心周波数と、対象周波数帯域に隣接する周波数帯域の中心周波数との間隔を算出し、(3)当該間隔に応じて、上記復調信号に対して作用させるフィルタを選択および設定している。これにより、各チャンネルに対して、放送方式に対応したフィルタを適切に選択することができるので、テレビジョン信号が混線している状況化であっても、放送方式の正確な判別を行うことが可能となる。すなわち、アナログ放送における放送方式の検出精度を向上させることができる。これらの具体的な処理については〔放送受信装置1の詳細構成〕以降において説明する。
In the present embodiment, the analog demodulation processing circuit 33, after all the frequency bands (channels) having the stations are detected, (1) the center frequencies of the frequency bands of the detected television signal are determined. (2) calculating the interval between the center frequency of the target frequency band that is the target of channel search (target for determining the broadcasting system) and the center frequency of the frequency band adjacent to the target frequency band, and (3) A filter that acts on the demodulated signal is selected and set according to the interval. As a result, a filter corresponding to the broadcasting system can be appropriately selected for each channel, so that the broadcasting system can be accurately determined even in a situation where the television signal is mixed. It becomes possible. That is, it is possible to improve the detection accuracy of the broadcasting system in analog broadcasting. These specific processes will be described in the following [Detailed configuration of broadcast receiving apparatus 1].
なお、本実施形態では、IF信号から変換された復調信号に対して、選択されたフィルタを作用させるものとして説明するが、IF信号に対して当該フィルタを作用させてもよい。
In the present embodiment, the selected filter is described as being applied to the demodulated signal converted from the IF signal, but the filter may be applied to the IF signal.
また、上記放送方式と、フィルタが有する所定の周波数帯域との間には、現在以下のような対応関係が規定されている。すなわち、7MHzまたは8MHzのフィルタ設定が必要な放送方式(カラーシステム/サウンドシステム)としては、例えば、PAL/BG、PAL/DK、PAL/I、SECAM/BG、SECAL/DK、SECAM/I、NTSC4.43/BG、NTSC4.43/DK、NTSC4.43/I、SECAM/L、SECAM/L’が挙げられる。この例において、サウンドシステム「BG」のみが7MHzのフィルタ設定が必要であり、その他のカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムは8MHzのフィルタ設定が必要となる。一方、6MHzのフィルタ設定が必要な放送方式(カラーシステム/サウンドシステム)としては、例えば、NTSC3.58/MN、PAL/MNが挙げられる。
In addition, the following correspondence is currently defined between the broadcasting system and a predetermined frequency band of the filter. That is, as a broadcasting system (color system / sound system) that requires 7 MHz or 8 MHz filter setting, for example, PAL / BG, PAL / DK, PAL / I, SECAM / BG, SECAL / DK, SECAM / I, NTSC4 .43 / BG, NTSC 4.43 / DK, NTSC 4.43 / I, SECAM / L, SECAM / L ′. In this example, only the sound system “BG” requires a 7 MHz filter setting, and the other color and sound systems require an 8 MHz filter setting. On the other hand, examples of broadcast systems (color system / sound system) that require 6 MHz filter settings include NTSC 3.58 / MN and PAL / MN.
なお、本実施形態では、チューナ3が上記のIF変換処理回路31、フィルタ設定回路32およびアナログ復調処理回路33をそれぞれ備えるものとして説明するが、これに限らず、上記3つの処理回路の機能を有していればよい。すなわち、チューナ3がこれらの処理回路を別々に備えた構成ではなく、例えば、これらの回路が有する機能を備えた1つのICチップから構成されていてもよい。また、IF変換処理回路31、フィルタ設定回路32およびアナログ復調処理回路33のうちの2つの回路が同一のICチップから構成されていてもよい。この場合例えば、(1)IF変換処理回路31およびフィルタ設定回路32が1つの回路(チューナ部)からなり、チューナ3が当該チューナ部とアナログ復調処理回路33とを備えた構成であってもよいし、(2)フィルタ設定回路32およびアナログ復調処理回路33が1つの回路(アナログ復調部)からなり、チューナ3が当該アナログ復調部とIF変換処理回路31とを備えた構成であってもよい。
In the present embodiment, the tuner 3 is described as including the IF conversion processing circuit 31, the filter setting circuit 32, and the analog demodulation processing circuit 33. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the functions of the three processing circuits are described. It only has to have. In other words, the tuner 3 may not be configured to include these processing circuits separately, but may be configured from, for example, one IC chip having the functions of these circuits. Further, two of the IF conversion processing circuit 31, the filter setting circuit 32, and the analog demodulation processing circuit 33 may be composed of the same IC chip. In this case, for example, (1) the IF conversion processing circuit 31 and the filter setting circuit 32 may be configured by one circuit (tuner unit), and the tuner 3 may include the tuner unit and the analog demodulation processing circuit 33. (2) The filter setting circuit 32 and the analog demodulation processing circuit 33 may be configured by one circuit (analog demodulation unit), and the tuner 3 may include the analog demodulation unit and the IF conversion processing circuit 31. .
次に、映像・音声処理回路4は、チューナ3のアナログ復調処理回路33から送信された復調信号に対する各種処理を行うものである。映像・音声処理回路4は、当該処理を行うために、カラー・サウンド判別処理回路41、ビデオエンコーダ42、オーディオエンコーダ43および信号出力回路44を備えている。
Next, the video / audio processing circuit 4 performs various processes on the demodulated signal transmitted from the analog demodulation processing circuit 33 of the tuner 3. The video / audio processing circuit 4 includes a color / sound discrimination processing circuit 41, a video encoder 42, an audio encoder 43, and a signal output circuit 44 in order to perform the processing.
カラー・サウンド判別処理回路41は、復調信号の放送方式であるカラーシステムおよびサウンドシステムを判別し、局登録を行うものである。カラー・サウンド判別処理回路41は、局登録後の映像信号をビデオエンコーダ42に送信し、音声信号をオーディオエンコーダ43に送信する。
The color / sound discrimination processing circuit 41 discriminates a color system and a sound system which are broadcast systems of demodulated signals, and performs station registration.

次に、図1に基づいて、放送受信装置1の詳細構成、特に制御部5の詳細構成について説明する。図1は、本実施形態に係る放送受信装置1の一例を示す機能ブロック図である。以降では、特に断りがない限り、チャンネルサーチ処理(テレビジョン信号をスキャンするときの局発周波数判別処理および放送方式の判別処理)に特化して、その説明を行う。 [Detailed Configuration of Broadcast Receiver 1]
Next, based on FIG. 1, the detailed structure of the
制御部5は、主として、チューナ制御部50および映像・音声処理回路制御部60を備えている。
The control unit 5 mainly includes a tuner control unit 50 and a video / audio processing circuit control unit 60.
チューナ制御部50は、チューナ3が備える各回路に指令を与えて、各回路の処理を制御するものである。本実施形態では特に、チューナ3が備えるフィルタ設定回路32およびアナログ復調処理回路33に対する制御について具体的に説明する。チューナ制御部50は、主として、局部発振周波数検出部(局部発振周波数検出手段)51、局設定部52、周波数間隔算出部53、フィルタ選択部(フィルタ選択手段)54およびフィルタ設定部55を備えている。
The tuner control unit 50 gives a command to each circuit included in the tuner 3 to control processing of each circuit. In the present embodiment, the control for the filter setting circuit 32 and the analog demodulation processing circuit 33 provided in the tuner 3 will be specifically described. The tuner control unit 50 mainly includes a local oscillation frequency detection unit (local oscillation frequency detection unit) 51, a station setting unit 52, a frequency interval calculation unit 53, a filter selection unit (filter selection unit) 54, and a filter setting unit 55. Yes.
局部発振周波数検出部51は、複数の局のそれぞれが有する周波数を検出する。具体的には、局部発振周波数検出部51は、AFCまたはAFTを用いて、テレビジョン信号が存在する可能性がある全周波数範囲において、チューナ3に設定する可能性がある周波数帯域を検出する。そして、局部発振周波数検出部51は、チューナ3に設定した周波数の前後一定周波数範囲内に局が存在しているかを確認する。この局の存在の確認は、チューナ3に設定した周波数の前後一定周波数範囲内のテレビジョン信号が、所定の放送方式で規定されたATV(Analog Television)信号を有しているか否かについて確認し、ATV信号が存在する場合にはチューナ3に設定した周波数と局部発振周波数(局発周波数)とがどの程度離れているかを検出することにより行われる。そして、ATV信号を有している場合には、局部発振周波数との周波数差を補正し、本来の局部発振周波数にチューナ3を再設定し、再度ATV信号の有無を判別することにより、検出した周波数帯域が局を有すると判定し、当該周波数帯域を局と対応づけて記憶部6に記憶する。
The local oscillation frequency detector 51 detects the frequency of each of the plurality of stations. Specifically, the local oscillation frequency detector 51 uses AFC or AFT to detect a frequency band that may be set in the tuner 3 in the entire frequency range in which a television signal may exist. Then, the local oscillation frequency detection unit 51 confirms whether the station exists within a certain frequency range before and after the frequency set in the tuner 3. The existence of this station is confirmed by checking whether or not the television signal within a certain frequency range before and after the frequency set in the tuner 3 has an ATV (Analog Television) signal defined by a predetermined broadcasting system. When the ATV signal is present, this is performed by detecting how far the frequency set in the tuner 3 and the local oscillation frequency (local oscillation frequency) are separated. If the ATV signal is present, the frequency difference from the local oscillation frequency is corrected, the tuner 3 is reset to the original local oscillation frequency, and the presence or absence of the ATV signal is determined again. It is determined that the frequency band has a station, and the frequency band is associated with the station and stored in the storage unit 6.
局設定部52は、チューナ3に対して、局を有する周波数帯域を対象周波数帯域として設定するものである。具体的には、局設定部52は、記憶部6に記憶されている各周波数帯域を順に読み出して、対象周波数帯域として設定する。
The station setting unit 52 sets a frequency band having a station as a target frequency band for the tuner 3. Specifically, the station setting unit 52 sequentially reads out each frequency band stored in the storage unit 6 and sets it as a target frequency band.
周波数間隔算出部53は、記憶部6に記憶された、局を有する周波数帯域の中心周波数を全て検出し、(1)隣接する中心周波数どうしの間隔、(2)上記全周波数範囲の最低周波数と、当該最低周波数(例えば45MHz)と隣接する中心周波数との間隔、(3)上記全周波数範囲の最高周波数(例えば860MHz)と、当該最高周波数と隣接する中心周波数との間隔、を算出する。そして、この算出結果を記憶部6に記憶する。
The frequency interval calculation unit 53 detects all the center frequencies of the frequency band having the stations stored in the storage unit 6, and (1) the interval between adjacent center frequencies, and (2) the lowest frequency in the entire frequency range. , The interval between the lowest frequency (for example, 45 MHz) and the adjacent center frequency, and (3) the highest frequency (for example, 860 MHz) in the entire frequency range and the interval between the highest frequency and the adjacent center frequency. Then, the calculation result is stored in the storage unit 6.
なお、上記では、各周波数帯域の中心周波数を用いて上記間隔を算出しているが、これに限らず、各周波数帯域において同じ位置に存在する周波数を用いて上記間隔の算出を行ってもよい。ただし、中心周波数の検出は、10~25kHz程度の精度で容易に検出可能であるため、中心周波数を用いて上記算出を行った方が処理効率がよい。
In the above description, the interval is calculated using the center frequency of each frequency band. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the interval may be calculated using frequencies that exist at the same position in each frequency band. . However, since the center frequency can be easily detected with an accuracy of about 10 to 25 kHz, it is more efficient to perform the above calculation using the center frequency.
フィルタ選択部54は、局部発振周波数検出部51が検出した周波数のうちの検出した局を有する周波数帯域である対象周波数帯域と、周波数間隔算出部53が算出した対象周波数帯域に隣接する周波数帯域との間隔に応じて、対象周波数帯域に作用させる所定の周波数帯域を有するフィルタ(フィルタ帯域幅)を選択するものである。
The filter selection unit 54 includes a target frequency band that is a frequency band having the detected station among the frequencies detected by the local oscillation frequency detection unit 51, and a frequency band adjacent to the target frequency band calculated by the frequency interval calculation unit 53. In accordance with the interval, a filter (filter bandwidth) having a predetermined frequency band to be applied to the target frequency band is selected.
具体的には、アナログ復調処理回路33に設定される可能性がある複数のフィルタが有する所定の周波数帯域は、(1)対象周波数帯域の中心周波数と、対象周波数帯域に隣接する、対象周波数帯域よりも低い周波数帯域である低隣接周波数帯域の中心周波数(または最低周波数)との第1間隔と、(2)対象周波数帯域の中心周波数と、対象周波数帯域に隣接する、対象周波数帯域よりも高い周波数帯域である高隣接周波数帯域の中心周波数(または最高周波数)との第2間隔と、に対応付けて記憶部6に記憶されている。そのため、フィルタ選択部54は、周波数間隔算出部53が算出した各周波数の間隔のうち、上記第1間隔および第2間隔となる間隔を示すデータを読み出した後、当該第1間隔および第2間隔に対応する周波数帯域を有するフィルタを、アナログ復調処理回路33に設定するフィルタとして決定する。
Specifically, the predetermined frequency band included in the plurality of filters that may be set in the analog demodulation processing circuit 33 is (1) the center frequency of the target frequency band and the target frequency band adjacent to the target frequency band. A first interval with a center frequency (or lowest frequency) of a low adjacent frequency band, which is a lower frequency band, and (2) a center frequency of the target frequency band and higher than the target frequency band adjacent to the target frequency band It is stored in the storage unit 6 in association with the second interval from the center frequency (or highest frequency) of the high adjacent frequency band that is the frequency band. Therefore, the filter selection unit 54 reads the data indicating the first interval and the second interval among the intervals of the frequencies calculated by the frequency interval calculation unit 53, and then reads the first interval and the second interval. Is determined as a filter to be set in the analog demodulation processing circuit 33.
また、フィルタ選択部54は、選択したフィルタが複数存在する場合には、予め地域別に設定されている周波数帯域と一致する周波数帯域を有するフィルタを、対象周波数帯域に作用させるフィルタとして選択してもよい。
In addition, when there are a plurality of selected filters, the filter selection unit 54 may select a filter having a frequency band that matches a frequency band set in advance for each region as a filter that acts on the target frequency band. Good.
上述したように、放送方式は地域別に予め設定されている。放送受信装置1の設置位置において、ユーザがその地域別の放送方式(標準放送方式)を予め設定しておくことで、フィルタ選択部54は、選択したフィルタの中に、標準放送方式に対応づけられたフィルタの周波数帯域と一致するものがあるか否かを判定することができる。そのため、複数のフィルタを選択した場合であっても、その後一意的にフィルタを選択することができる。
As described above, the broadcasting system is preset for each region. The filter selection unit 54 associates the selected filter with the standard broadcast method by setting the broadcast method (standard broadcast method) for each region in advance at the installation position of the broadcast receiving device 1. It is possible to determine whether there is a match with the frequency band of the selected filter. Therefore, even when a plurality of filters are selected, the filters can be uniquely selected thereafter.
なお、フィルタが有する所定の周波数帯域と、各地域(国)の標準放送方式との間には、現在以下のような対応関係が規定されている。

映像・音声処理回路制御部60は、映像・音声処理回路4が備える各回路に指令を与えて、各回路の処理を制御するものである。本実施形態では特に、映像・音声処理回路4が備えるカラー・サウンド判別処理回路41に対する制御について具体的に説明する。映像・音声処理回路制御部60は、主として、システム判別部61および局登録処理部62を備えている。
The video / audio processing circuit control unit 60 gives a command to each circuit included in the video / audio processing circuit 4 and controls processing of each circuit. In the present embodiment, the control of the color / sound discrimination processing circuit 41 included in the video / audio processing circuit 4 will be specifically described. The video / audio processing circuit control unit 60 mainly includes a system discrimination unit 61 and a station registration processing unit 62.
システム判別部61は、アナログ復調処理回路33へのフィルタ設定完了の通知を受けると、カラー・サウンド判別処理回路41が、アナログ復調処理回路33から復調信号を受信していることを確認する。システム判別部61は、その確認ができた場合に、カラー・サウンド判別処理回路41が受信した復調信号の放送方式を判別し、その判別結果を局登録処理部62に送信する。
When the system discriminating unit 61 receives the notification of the completion of the filter setting to the analog demodulation processing circuit 33, it confirms that the color / sound discrimination processing circuit 41 has received the demodulated signal from the analog demodulation processing circuit 33. When the confirmation is made, the system discriminating unit 61 discriminates the broadcast system of the demodulated signal received by the color / sound discrimination processing circuit 41 and transmits the discrimination result to the station registration processing unit 62.
具体的には、システム判別部61は、アナログ復調処理回路33から受信したテレビジョン信号(アナログ信号)が有効なカラーシステム(PAL/SECAM/NTSC)であるか、有効なサウンドシステム(BG/DK/I/MN/L/L’)であるか、を判別し、カラーシステム・サウンドシステム共に有効なシステムが取得できた場合、その判別結果を局登録処理部62に送信する。
Specifically, the system determination unit 61 determines whether the television signal (analog signal) received from the analog demodulation processing circuit 33 is an effective color system (PAL / SECAM / NTSC) or an effective sound system (BG / DK). / I / MN / L / L ′), and if a valid system can be obtained for both the color system and the sound system, the determination result is transmitted to the station registration processing unit 62.
局登録処理部62は、上記判別結果が有効な放送方式が取得できたことを示す場合には、放送方式の判別が行われた周波数帯域(対象周波数帯域)の局登録を行う。一方、局登録処理部62は、上記判別結果が有効な放送方式が取得できなかったことを示す場合には、放送方式の判別が行われた周波数帯域の局登録を行わない。
If the determination result indicates that an effective broadcasting system has been acquired, the station registration processing unit 62 performs station registration of the frequency band (target frequency band) where the broadcasting system is determined. On the other hand, the station registration processing unit 62 does not perform station registration of the frequency band for which the broadcasting method is determined when the determination result indicates that an effective broadcasting method has not been acquired.
〔フィルタテーブル〕
上述のように、フィルタ選択部54は、対象周波数帯域に作用させるフィルタは、上記第1間隔および第2間隔に基づいて選択される。そのフィルタが有する周波数帯域と、第1間隔および第2間隔との対応関係の一例を、図3を用いて説明する。図3は、この対応関係の一例を示す図であり、(a)がフィルタテーブルT1の一例を示し、(b)がフィルタテーブルT2の一例を示すものである。なお、フィルタテーブルT1およびT2の「6M」、「7M」および「8M」は、「6MHzのフィルタ」、「7MHzのフィルタ」および「8MHzのフィルタ」を指す。 [Filter table]
As described above, thefilter selection unit 54 selects a filter to be applied to the target frequency band based on the first interval and the second interval. An example of the correspondence between the frequency band of the filter and the first and second intervals will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of this correspondence relationship, where (a) shows an example of the filter table T1, and (b) shows an example of the filter table T2. Note that “6M”, “7M”, and “8M” in the filter tables T1 and T2 indicate “6 MHz filter”, “7 MHz filter”, and “8 MHz filter”.
上述のように、フィルタ選択部54は、対象周波数帯域に作用させるフィルタは、上記第1間隔および第2間隔に基づいて選択される。そのフィルタが有する周波数帯域と、第1間隔および第2間隔との対応関係の一例を、図3を用いて説明する。図3は、この対応関係の一例を示す図であり、(a)がフィルタテーブルT1の一例を示し、(b)がフィルタテーブルT2の一例を示すものである。なお、フィルタテーブルT1およびT2の「6M」、「7M」および「8M」は、「6MHzのフィルタ」、「7MHzのフィルタ」および「8MHzのフィルタ」を指す。 [Filter table]
As described above, the
図3の(a)に示すフィルタテーブルT1は、現在のVHF(Very High Frequency)方式における上記の対応関係を示すテーブルである。図3の(b)に示すフィルタテーブルT2は、現在のUHF(Ultra High Frequency)方式における上記の対応関係を示すテーブルである。また、図3の(a)および(b)において、縦軸を第1間隔(Lower-Target)、横軸を第2間隔(Target-Upper)としている。
The filter table T1 shown in FIG. 3A is a table showing the above-described correspondence in the current VHF (Very High Frequency) method. A filter table T2 shown in (b) of FIG. 3 is a table showing the correspondence relationship in the current UHF (Ultra High Frequency) system. In FIGS. 3A and 3B, the vertical axis is the first interval (Lower-Target), and the horizontal axis is the second interval (Target-Upper).
フィルタテーブルT1およびT2では、選択されたフィルタが、隣接する周波数帯域に含まれるテレビジョン信号の一部をフィルタリングしないように、フィルタの周波数帯域が設定されている。
In the filter tables T1 and T2, the frequency band of the filter is set so that the selected filter does not filter a part of the television signal included in the adjacent frequency band.
また、フィルタテーブルT1およびT2は記憶部6に記憶されている。そのため、フィルタ選択部54は、上記第1間隔および第2間隔となる2つの間隔を示すデータを読み出すと、アンテナ2が受信したテレビジョン信号の周波数に応じてVHF方式かUHF方式かを判断し、フィルタテーブルT1またはT2を参照することにより、当該第1間隔および第2間隔に対応する6MHz、7MHzおよび8MHzのフィルタのいずれかを選択することができる。
The filter tables T1 and T2 are stored in the storage unit 6. Therefore, when the filter selection unit 54 reads the data indicating the two intervals that are the first interval and the second interval, the filter selection unit 54 determines whether the antenna 2 is the VHF method or the UHF method according to the frequency of the television signal received. By referring to the filter table T1 or T2, it is possible to select any of 6 MHz, 7 MHz, and 8 MHz filters corresponding to the first interval and the second interval.
また、例えばフィルタテーブルT1において、第1間隔が「6.5以上7未満」、第2間隔が「7以上7.5未満」に対応するフィルタとして、「6MHzのフィルタまたは7MHzのフィルタ(6M/7M)」と設定されている。すなわち、フィルタテーブルT1およびT2では、選択可能なフィルタとして、複数のフィルタ(「6MHzのフィルタまたは7MHzのフィルタ(6M/7M)」、「6MHzのフィルタ、7MHzのフィルタまたは8MHzのフィルタ(6M/7M/8M)」、「6MHzのフィルタまたは8MHzのフィルタ(6M/8M)」)が設定されている箇所がある(図3の(a)および(b)の網掛け部分)。すなわち、第1間隔および第2間隔の当該網掛け部分に対応する値となった場合には、対象周波数帯域に作用させることが可能なフィルタが複数存在することになる。
Further, for example, in the filter table T1, as a filter corresponding to the first interval of “6.5 or more and less than 7” and the second interval of “7 or more and less than 7.5”, “6 MHz filter or 7 MHz filter (6M / 7M) ”. That is, in the filter tables T1 and T2, a plurality of filters (“6 MHz filter or 7 MHz filter (6M / 7M)”, “6 MHz filter, 7 MHz filter, or 8 MHz filter (6M / 7M) are selectable filters. / 8M) ”and“ 6 MHz filter or 8 MHz filter (6M / 8M) ”) are set (shaded portions in FIGS. 3A and 3B). That is, when a value corresponding to the shaded portion of the first interval and the second interval is reached, there are a plurality of filters that can be applied to the target frequency band.
この場合には、上述のように、フィルタ選択部54が地域別に設定されている周波数帯域と一致する周波数帯域を有するフィルタを、対象周波数帯域に作用させるフィルタとして選択する。これにより、適切である可能性の高いフィルタを選択することができる。なお、各フィルタをそれぞれ対象周波数帯域に作用させて放送方式の判別を行ってもよいが、上記のように地域別の周波数帯域を用いたフィルタ選択を行うことで、チャンネルサーチ処理時間の短縮を図ることが可能となる。
In this case, as described above, the filter selection unit 54 selects a filter having a frequency band that matches the frequency band set for each region as a filter that acts on the target frequency band. Thereby, a filter with high possibility of being appropriate can be selected. Note that the broadcasting method may be determined by applying each filter to the target frequency band, but the channel search processing time can be shortened by selecting the filter using the frequency band for each region as described above. It becomes possible to plan.
〔フィルタ適用例〕
次に、図4に基づいて、フィルタの具体的な適用例について説明する。図4は、チャンネル毎の周波数帯域の一例を示す図である。 [Filter application example]
Next, a specific application example of the filter will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a frequency band for each channel.
次に、図4に基づいて、フィルタの具体的な適用例について説明する。図4は、チャンネル毎の周波数帯域の一例を示す図である。 [Filter application example]
Next, a specific application example of the filter will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a frequency band for each channel.
図4に示す例では、局部発振周波数検出部51によって記憶部6に記憶された、局を有する周波数帯域が3つである場合を示している。また、同図では、対象周波数帯域(Target Channel)をチャンネルB1とし、その両隣りに存在する周波数帯域のうち、低い方の周波数帯域(低隣接周波数帯域、Lower Channel)をチャンネルA1、高い方の周波数帯域(高隣接周波数帯域、Upper Channel)をチャンネルC1とする。さらに、受信するテレビジョン信号A11、B11、C11がUHF方式であるとして説明する。
The example shown in FIG. 4 shows a case where there are three frequency bands having a station, which are stored in the storage unit 6 by the local oscillation frequency detection unit 51. Further, in the figure, the target frequency band (Target Channel) is channel B1, and of the frequency bands existing on both sides thereof, the lower frequency band (low adjacent frequency band, Lower Channel) is channel A1, and the higher frequency band. The frequency band (high adjacent frequency band, UpperUpChannel) is defined as channel C1. Further, description will be made assuming that the received television signals A11, B11, and C11 are UHF.
すなわち、複数の局を有する周波数帯域のうち、放送方式の判別を行う対象となる周波数帯域を対象周波数帯域とした場合、その対象周波数帯域に隣接する低い側の周波数帯域が低隣接周波数帯域となり、その対象周波数帯域に隣接する高い側の周波数帯域が高隣接周波数帯域となる。また、上記対象周波数帯域としては、上記複数の局を有する周波数帯域の全てが順次選択される。
That is, out of the frequency bands having a plurality of stations, when the frequency band that is a target for determining the broadcasting method is the target frequency band, the lower frequency band adjacent to the target frequency band becomes the low adjacent frequency band, The higher frequency band adjacent to the target frequency band is the high adjacent frequency band. Further, all the frequency bands having the plurality of stations are sequentially selected as the target frequency band.
図4に示す例の場合、周波数間隔算出部53は、チャンネルA1、チャンネルB1、チャンネルC1のそれぞれの中心周波数Ac、Bc、Ccを検出する。そして、最低周波数と中心周波数Acとの間隔α0、中心周波数AcとBcとの間隔α1、中心周波数BcとCcとの間隔α2、中心周波数Ccと最高周波数との間隔α3、をそれぞれ算出する。
In the example shown in FIG. 4, the frequency interval calculation unit 53 detects the center frequencies Ac, Bc, and Cc of the channels A1, B1, and C1, respectively. Then, an interval α0 between the lowest frequency and the center frequency Ac, an interval α1 between the center frequencies Ac and Bc, an interval α2 between the center frequencies Bc and Cc, and an interval α3 between the center frequency Cc and the highest frequency are calculated.
また、この例では、チャンネルB1を対象周波数帯域としているので、フィルタ選択部54は、上記第1間隔として間隔α1(=6.5MHz)、上記第2間隔として間隔α2(=7MHz)を示す2つのデータを読み出すとともに、図3の(b)に示すフィルタテーブルT2を読み出す。そのため、フィルタ選択部54は、フィルタテーブルT2を参照して、第1間隔(縦軸)が「6.5以上7未満」、第2間隔(横軸)が「7以上7.5未満」に対応する部分(図3の(b)に示す太枠部分)の「6MHzのフィルタ」を、選択するフィルタとして決定する。
In this example, since the channel B1 is the target frequency band, the filter selection unit 54 indicates the interval α1 (= 6.5 MHz) as the first interval and 2 indicating the interval α2 (= 7 MHz) as the second interval. While reading out two pieces of data, the filter table T2 shown in FIG. 3B is read out. Therefore, the filter selection unit 54 refers to the filter table T2 so that the first interval (vertical axis) is “6.5 or more and less than 7” and the second interval (horizontal axis) is “7 or more and less than 7.5”. The “6 MHz filter” of the corresponding part (the thick frame part shown in FIG. 3B) is determined as the filter to be selected.
〔放送受信装置1におけるチャンネルサーチ処理〕
次に、図5および図6に基づいて、放送受信装置1におけるチャンネルサーチ処理の一例について説明する。図5は、放送受信装置1におけるチャンネルサーチ処理の一例を示す図である。 [Channel Search Processing in Broadcast Receiver 1]
Next, an example of channel search processing in thebroadcast receiving apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of channel search processing in the broadcast receiving apparatus 1.
次に、図5および図6に基づいて、放送受信装置1におけるチャンネルサーチ処理の一例について説明する。図5は、放送受信装置1におけるチャンネルサーチ処理の一例を示す図である。 [Channel Search Processing in Broadcast Receiver 1]
Next, an example of channel search processing in the
図5に示すように、局部発振周波数検出部51は、AFCまたはAFTを用いて、テレビジョン信号が存在する可能性がある全周波数範囲において、チューナ3に設定した周波数と局部発振周波数との差を検出し、検出した局部発振周波数をチューナ3に再設定する、という制御を繰り返すことで、正確な局部発振周波数を取得し、局を有する周波数帯域が存在しているか否かを判別する(S1~S5:局部発振周波数検出ステップ)。
As shown in FIG. 5, the local oscillation frequency detection unit 51 uses the AFC or AFT, and the difference between the frequency set in the tuner 3 and the local oscillation frequency in the entire frequency range where the television signal may exist. Is repeated, and the control to reset the detected local oscillation frequency to the tuner 3 is repeated, so that an accurate local oscillation frequency is obtained and it is determined whether or not a frequency band having a station exists (S1). ~ S5: Local oscillation frequency detection step).
具体的には、局部発振周波数検出部51は、チューナ3に周波数を設定し(S1)、当該設定した周波数(チューナ設定周波数)から一定範囲内に局が存在しているかを確認する(S2)。そして、一定範囲内に局が存在すると判断した場合には(S2でYES)、局部発振周波数(局発周波数)を取得し(S3)、チューナ3を当該局部発振周波数に設定する(S4)。そして、再度ATV信号の有無を判別することにより、局を有する周波数帯域(局有り周波数)が存在しているか否かを判別する(S5)。
Specifically, the local oscillation frequency detector 51 sets a frequency in the tuner 3 (S1), and confirms whether a station exists within a certain range from the set frequency (tuner set frequency) (S2). . If it is determined that a station exists within a certain range (YES in S2), a local oscillation frequency (local oscillation frequency) is acquired (S3), and the tuner 3 is set to the local oscillation frequency (S4). Then, the presence / absence of the ATV signal is determined again to determine whether or not a frequency band (station frequency) having a station exists (S5).
局部発振周波数検出部51は、局を有する周波数帯域が存在していると判別した場合には、その周波数帯域(局有り周波数)を記憶部6に保存する(S6)。その後、上記全周波数範囲の最高周波数まで(すなわち全周波数範囲において)、当該周波数帯域の検出を行ったか否かを判定し(S7)、当該検出が完了していれば、局部発振周波数検出部51による処理を終了する。このとき、局部発振周波数検出部51は、自身の処理が完了した旨を局設定部52に通知する。
If the local oscillation frequency detection unit 51 determines that there is a frequency band having a station, the local oscillation frequency detection unit 51 stores the frequency band (local frequency) in the storage unit 6 (S6). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the frequency band has been detected up to the highest frequency in the entire frequency range (that is, in the entire frequency range) (S7). If the detection is completed, the local oscillation frequency detection unit 51 is detected. The process by is terminated. At this time, the local oscillation frequency detection unit 51 notifies the station setting unit 52 that its own processing has been completed.
一方、S2でNOの場合(S1でチューナ3に設定した周波数の一定範囲内に局が存在しない場合)、S5でNOの場合(局を有する周波数帯域が存在しない場合)、および、S7でNOの場合(最高周波数まで周波数帯域の検出が完了していない場合)には、S1に戻り局を有する周波数帯域の検出処理を開始する。
On the other hand, if NO in S2 (when there is no station within a certain range of the frequency set in tuner 3 in S1), if NO in S5 (when there is no frequency band having stations), and NO in S7 In the case of (when the detection of the frequency band up to the maximum frequency is not completed), the process returns to S1 and the detection process of the frequency band having the station is started.
このように、放送受信装置1においては、フィルタ設定および放送方式の判別を行う前に、局を有する周波数帯域の全ての検出を完了している。
As described above, in the broadcast receiving apparatus 1, the detection of all the frequency bands having the station is completed before the filter setting and the broadcasting method are determined.
局設定部52は、局部発振周波数検出部51から上記完了通知を受けると、図6に示すように、検出された局を有する周波数帯域のうちの1つを対象周波数帯域としてチューナ3に設定し(S11)、その旨を周波数間隔算出部53に通知する。
Upon receiving the completion notification from the local oscillation frequency detection unit 51, the station setting unit 52 sets one of the detected frequency bands having the station as a target frequency band in the tuner 3 as shown in FIG. (S11), to that effect is notified to the frequency interval calculation unit 53.
周波数間隔算出部53は、局設定部52から上記通知を受けると、上述した各中心周波数の間隔等を算出する(S12)。そして、その算出結果を記憶部6に記憶するとともに、上記間隔の算出が完了した旨を、フィルタ選択部54に通知する。なお、S11の処理とS12の処理との順序は問わない。
When the frequency interval calculation unit 53 receives the notification from the station setting unit 52, the frequency interval calculation unit 53 calculates the interval between the center frequencies described above (S12). Then, the calculation result is stored in the storage unit 6 and the filter selection unit 54 is notified that the calculation of the interval is completed. In addition, the order of the process of S11 and the process of S12 is not ask | required.
フィルタ選択部54は、周波数間隔算出部53から上記通知を受けると、記憶部6から、第1間隔および第2間隔となる間隔を示すデータを読み出し、フィルタテーブルT1またはT2を参照することにより、当該第1間隔および第2間隔に対応する周波数帯域を有するフィルタ(適用するフィルタ)を選択する(S13:フィルタ選択ステップ)。
When the filter selection unit 54 receives the above notification from the frequency interval calculation unit 53, the filter selection unit 54 reads data indicating the first interval and the second interval from the storage unit 6, and refers to the filter table T1 or T2. A filter (filter to be applied) having a frequency band corresponding to the first interval and the second interval is selected (S13: filter selection step).
その後、フィルタ選択部54は、選択されたフィルタが1種類であるか否かを判定し(S14)、1種類であった場合には(S14でYES)、その旨をフィルタ設定部55に通知する。フィルタ設定部55は、この通知を受けると、フィルタ選択部54によって選択されたフィルタを、アナログ復調処理回路33にて用いられるフィルタとして設定する(S16)。
Thereafter, the filter selection unit 54 determines whether or not there is one type of selected filter (S14), and if it is one type (YES in S14), notifies the filter setting unit 55 to that effect. To do. Upon receiving this notification, the filter setting unit 55 sets the filter selected by the filter selection unit 54 as a filter used in the analog demodulation processing circuit 33 (S16).
一方、複数種類であった場合には(S14でNO)、S14において選択されたフィルタの中から、例えば地域(国)ごとに予め設定されている標準放送方式に対する周波数帯域と一致する周波数帯域を有するフィルタを選択し(S15)、その旨をフィルタ設定部55に通知する。フィルタ設定部55は、この通知を受けると、フィルタ選択部54によって選択されたフィルタをアナログ復調処理回路33に設定する(S16)。
On the other hand, if there are a plurality of types (NO in S14), a frequency band that matches the frequency band for the standard broadcasting system set in advance for each region (country) is selected from the filters selected in S14. The filter is selected (S15), and a notification to that effect is sent to the filter setting unit 55. Upon receiving this notification, the filter setting unit 55 sets the filter selected by the filter selection unit 54 in the analog demodulation processing circuit 33 (S16).
その後、システム判別部61は、フィルタ設定部55から設定完了の通知を受けると、アナログ復調処理回路33からカラー・サウンド判別処理回路41が受信した復調信号の放送方式を判別する(S17)。そして、その判別結果と、選択されたフィルタが有する周波数帯域との対応関係が、規定された対応関係と一致すると判別された場合、すなわち放送方式(カラーシステムおよびサウンドシステム)が有効であると判定された場合には(S17でYES)、その旨を局登録処理部62に通知する。局登録処理部62は、この通知を受けると、対象周波数帯域の局登録を行う(S18)。
After that, upon receiving notification of setting completion from the filter setting unit 55, the system discrimination unit 61 discriminates the broadcast system of the demodulated signal received by the color / sound discrimination processing circuit 41 from the analog demodulation processing circuit 33 (S17). If it is determined that the correspondence between the determination result and the frequency band of the selected filter matches the specified correspondence, that is, it is determined that the broadcasting system (color system and sound system) is effective. If so (YES in S17), the station registration processing unit 62 is notified of this. Upon receiving this notification, the station registration processing unit 62 performs station registration in the target frequency band (S18).
一方、システム判別部61は、放送方式が有効ではないと判定された場合(S17でNO)、その旨を局登録処理部62に通知する。局登録処理部62は、この通知を受けた場合には、対象周波数帯域の局登録を行わない(S19)。
On the other hand, when it is determined that the broadcasting system is not valid (NO in S17), the system determination unit 61 notifies the station registration processing unit 62 to that effect. When receiving this notification, the station registration processing unit 62 does not register the target frequency band (S19).
局登録処理部62は、対象周波数帯域に対する局登録処理(S18またはS19の処理)を完了すると、全ての局登録処理が完了したか否かを確認する(S20)。例えば、局登録処理部62は、記憶部6に記憶された、局を有する周波数帯域のうち、上記全周波数範囲の最高周波数に最も近い周波数帯域が対象周波数帯域であったか否かを判定することにより、全ての局登録処理が完了したか否かを確認する。
When the station registration processing unit 62 completes the station registration processing (S18 or S19) for the target frequency band, the station registration processing unit 62 checks whether all the station registration processing is completed (S20). For example, the station registration processing unit 62 determines whether or not the frequency band stored in the storage unit 6 and having the station closest to the highest frequency in the entire frequency range is the target frequency band. Confirm whether all the station registration processes are completed.
全ての局登録処理が完了している場合には(S20でYES)、チャンネルサーチ処理を終了する。一方、まだ対象周波数帯域として設定されていない周波数帯域が存在する場合には(S20でNO)、S11の処理に戻り、その周波数帯域の1つを対象周波数帯域としてチューナ3に設定する。
If all the station registration processes have been completed (YES in S20), the channel search process is terminated. On the other hand, if there is a frequency band that has not yet been set as the target frequency band (NO in S20), the process returns to S11, and one of the frequency bands is set in the tuner 3 as the target frequency band.

(比較例におけるチャンネルサーチ処理)
図7に示すように、比較例としての放送受信装置では、まず、AFCまたはAFTを用いて、テレビジョン信号が存在する可能性がある全周波数範囲において、チューナに設定する可能性がある局部発振周波数を1つ検出し、局部発振周波数を中心としたテレビジョン信号の局を有する周波数帯域を対象周波数帯域としてチューナに設定し(S101:チューナ周波数帯域設定)、ATV信号の存在を確認することにより、その周波数帯域に局が存在するか否かを判定する(S102)。局が存在しない場合には(S102でNO)、S101の処理に戻る。 (Channel search process in comparative example)
As shown in FIG. 7, in the broadcast receiving apparatus as a comparative example, first, local oscillation that may be set in the tuner in the entire frequency range in which a television signal may exist using AFC or AFT. By detecting one frequency, setting the frequency band having the station of the television signal centered on the local oscillation frequency as the target frequency band (S101: Tuner frequency band setting), and confirming the presence of the ATV signal Then, it is determined whether or not a station exists in the frequency band (S102). If there is no station (NO in S102), the process returns to S101.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the broadcast receiving apparatus as a comparative example, first, local oscillation that may be set in the tuner in the entire frequency range in which a television signal may exist using AFC or AFT. By detecting one frequency, setting the frequency band having the station of the television signal centered on the local oscillation frequency as the target frequency band (S101: Tuner frequency band setting), and confirming the presence of the ATV signal Then, it is determined whether or not a station exists in the frequency band (S102). If there is no station (NO in S102), the process returns to S101.
局の存在が確認できた場合には(S102でYES)、まず6MHzのフィルタをアナログ復調処理回路に設定し(S103)、アナログ復調処理回路から出力された復調信号の放送方式(カラーシステムおよびサウンドシステム)が有効であるか否かを確認する(S104)。
If the presence of the station can be confirmed (YES in S102), a 6 MHz filter is first set in the analog demodulation processing circuit (S103), and the broadcast system (color system and sound) of the demodulated signal output from the analog demodulation processing circuit is set. It is confirmed whether or not (system) is valid (S104).
放送方式が有効であると判定された場合(S104でYES)、上記設定された周波数帯域に含まれるテレビジョン信号が有効な信号であると確認できるため(S105)、当該周波数帯域の局登録を行う(S106)。
If it is determined that the broadcasting system is valid (YES in S104), it can be confirmed that the television signal included in the set frequency band is a valid signal (S105). Perform (S106).
一方、放送方式が有効でないと判定された場合(S104でNO)、上記設定された周波数帯域に含まれるテレビジョン信号が有効な信号でないと確認できる(S108)。この場合、次に8MHzのフィルタをアナログ復調処理回路に設定し(S109)、アナログ復調処理回路から出力された復調信号の放送方式(カラーシステムおよびサウンドシステム)が有効であるか否かを確認する(S110)。
On the other hand, if it is determined that the broadcasting system is not valid (NO in S104), it can be confirmed that the television signal included in the set frequency band is not a valid signal (S108). In this case, an 8 MHz filter is then set in the analog demodulation processing circuit (S109), and it is confirmed whether the broadcast system (color system and sound system) of the demodulated signal output from the analog demodulation processing circuit is valid. (S110).
放送方式が有効であると判定された場合(S110でYES)、上記設定された周波数帯域を有するテレビジョン信号が有効な信号であると確認できるため(S111)、当該周波数帯域の局登録を行う(S106)。一方、放送方式が有効でないと判定された場合(S110でNO)、設定可能なフィルタが存在しないため、検出された周波数帯域の局登録を行わない(S112)。
If it is determined that the broadcasting system is valid (YES in S110), the television signal having the set frequency band can be confirmed to be a valid signal (S111), and station registration for the frequency band is performed. (S106). On the other hand, when it is determined that the broadcasting system is not valid (NO in S110), there is no settable filter, and station registration of the detected frequency band is not performed (S112).
そして、上記局登録処理(S106またはS112の処理)が上記全周波数範囲の最高周波数に最も近い周波数帯域に対する局登録処理であったか否かを判定する(S107)。当該周波数帯域に対する局登録処理であった場合には(S107でYES)、これ以上設定可能な周波数帯域が存在しないので、チャンネルサーチ処理を終了する。一方、上記周波数帯域に対する局登録処理でなかった場合には(S107でNO)、まだ設定可能な周波数帯域が存在するため、S101の処理に戻り、次の局部発振周波数を1つ検出して、S102以降の処理を行う。
Then, it is determined whether or not the station registration process (S106 or S112 process) is a station registration process for a frequency band closest to the highest frequency in the entire frequency range (S107). If it is the station registration process for the frequency band (YES in S107), there is no more frequency band that can be set, and the channel search process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is not the station registration process for the frequency band (NO in S107), since there is still a settable frequency band, the process returns to the process of S101 to detect one next local oscillation frequency, The process after S102 is performed.

次に、放送受信装置1と、比較例としての放送受信装置とにおけるチャンネルサーチ処理の違いについて、図8に基づいて説明する。図8では、AAA MHz、BBB MHz、CCC MHzの各周波数帯域に対して放送方式の判別処理を行う場合について説明する。 (Comparison)
Next, a difference in channel search processing between thebroadcast receiving apparatus 1 and a broadcast receiving apparatus as a comparative example will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 8, a case will be described in which a broadcast system discrimination process is performed for each frequency band of AAA MHz, BBB MHz, and CCC MHz.
次に、放送受信装置1と、比較例としての放送受信装置とにおけるチャンネルサーチ処理の違いについて、図8に基づいて説明する。図8では、AAA MHz、BBB MHz、CCC MHzの各周波数帯域に対して放送方式の判別処理を行う場合について説明する。 (Comparison)
Next, a difference in channel search processing between the
すなわち、図8の(a)は、図7の処理をAAA MHz、BBB MHz、CCC MHzの周波数帯域順に行った場合の処理シーケンス110を示すものであり、図8の(b)は、図5および図6の処理をAAA MHz、BBB MHz、CCC MHzの周波数帯域に対して行った場合の処理シーケンス11を示すものである。
8A shows a processing sequence 110 when the processing of FIG. 7 is performed in the order of the frequency bands of AAA MHz, BBB MHz, and CCC MHz, and FIG. 8B shows FIG. 7 shows a processing sequence 11 when the processing of FIG. 6 is performed for the frequency bands of AAA MHz, BBB MHz, and CCC MHz.
図8の(a)に示すように、比較例の処理シーケンス110においては、まず、AAA MHzのチャンネルサーチを開始する(処理シーケンス110の「チャンネルサーチ AAA MHz」)。すなわち、AAA MHzの周波数帯域に局が存在することを確認すると、6MHzのフィルタをアナログ復調処理回路に設定した後(処理シーケンス110の「6MHz帯域フィルタ設定」)、放送方式(カラーシステムおよびサウンドシステム)が有効であるか否かを確認する(処理シーケンス110の「カラー判別・サウンド判別」)。そして、放送方式が有効でないと判定された場合には、次に8MHzのフィルタをアナログ復調処理回路に設定した後(処理シーケンス110の「8MHz帯域フィルタ設定」)、再度放送方式(カラーシステムおよびサウンドシステム)が有効であるか否かを確認する。
As shown in FIG. 8A, in the processing sequence 110 of the comparative example, first, the AAA チ ャ ン ネ ル MHz channel search is started (“channel search AAA MHz” in the processing sequence 110). That is, when it is confirmed that a station exists in the AAA MHz frequency band, a 6 MHz filter is set in the analog demodulation processing circuit ("6 MHz band filter setting" in the processing sequence 110), and then a broadcasting system (color system and sound system). ) Is valid (“color discrimination / sound discrimination” in the processing sequence 110). If it is determined that the broadcasting system is not valid, the 8 MHz filter is set in the analog demodulation processing circuit (“8 MHz band filter setting” in the processing sequence 110), and then the broadcasting system (color system and sound is set again). Check whether the system is valid.
そして、上記の処理が、BBB MHzの周波数帯域、CCC MHzの周波数帯域の順に行われる。すなわち、比較例においては、周波数帯域ごとに、6MHzのフィルタおよび8Mhzのフィルタの両方を適用して、それぞれのフィルタに対する放送方式の判別を行う可能性がある。
The above processing is performed in the order of the BBBBMHz frequency band and the CCC MHz frequency band. That is, in the comparative example, there is a possibility that both the 6 MHz filter and the 8 MHz filter are applied for each frequency band, and the broadcasting system for each filter is determined.
一方、図8の(b)に示すように、本実施形態の放送受信装置1における処理シーケンス11は、チャンネルサーチ処理を開始すると、まず、局の存在する可能性のある最低周波数から最高周波数までの間で、どの周波数に局部発振周波数が存在するかを検出し、AAA MHz、BBB MHz、CCC MHzのそれぞれの局部発振周波数を取得する(処理シーケンス11の「チャンネルサーチ AAA MHz」、「チャンネルサーチ BBB MHz」、「チャンネルサーチ CCC MHz」)。
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8B, in the processing sequence 11 in the broadcast receiving apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, when the channel search process is started, first, from the lowest frequency where the station may exist to the highest frequency. Between the local oscillation frequencies of AAA MHz, BBB MHz, and CCC MHz, and the local oscillation frequencies of AAA (MHz, CCC MHz are acquired ("channel search AAA MHz" and "channel search of processing sequence 11"). BBB MHz "," Channel search CCC MHz ").
その後、まずAAA MHzの周波数帯域に作用させるフィルタを、隣接する周波数帯域との間隔に基づいて選択する。具体的には、最低周波数、最高周波数、AAA MHz~CCC MHzの各周波数帯域の中心周波数とのそれぞれ間隔を算出する。そして、その間隔のうち、AAA MHzの中心周波数と最低周波数との間隔を第1間隔とし、AAA MHzの中心周波数とBBB MHzの中心周波数との間隔を第2間隔として、フィルタテーブルT1またはT2を参照することにより、AAA MHzの周波数帯域に作用させるフィルとして適した6MHzのフィルタを選択する(処理シーケンス11の「フィルタ選択(6MHzフィルタ選択)」)。そして、6MHzのフィルタをアナログ復調処理回路33に設定した後(処理シーケンス11の「6MHz帯域フィルタ設定」)、放送方式(カラーシステムおよびサウンドシステム)が有効であるか否かを確認する(処理シーケンス11の「カラー判別・サウンド判別」)。
Then, first, a filter to be applied to the AAA MHz frequency band is selected based on the interval between adjacent frequency bands. Specifically, the minimum frequency, the maximum frequency, and the interval with the center frequency of each frequency band of AAA MHz to CCC MHz are calculated. Of the intervals, the filter table T1 or T2 is defined by setting the interval between the center frequency of AAA と MHz and the lowest frequency as the first interval, and the interval between the center frequency of AAA MHz and the center frequency of BBB MHz as the second interval. By referring to this, a 6 MHz filter suitable as a fill to be applied to the AAA MHz frequency band is selected ("filter selection (6 MHz filter selection) in processing sequence 11"). Then, after setting the 6 MHz filter in the analog demodulation processing circuit 33 (“6 MHz band filter setting” in the processing sequence 11), it is confirmed whether or not the broadcasting system (color system and sound system) is valid (processing sequence). 11 “Color discrimination / Sound discrimination”).
次に、BBB MHzの周波数帯域に作用させるフィルタを、隣接する周波数帯域との間隔に基づいて、BBB MHzの周波数帯域に適したフィルタとして8MHzのフィルタを選択し(処理シーケンス11の「フィルタ選択(8MHzフィルタ選択)」)、当該フィルタを設定する(処理シーケンス11の「8MHz帯域フィルタ設定」)。そして、放送方式(カラーシステムおよびサウンドシステム)が有効であるか否かを確認する(処理シーケンス11の「カラー判別・サウンド判別」)。
Next, an 8 MHz filter is selected as a filter suitable for the BBB MHz frequency band based on the interval between the adjacent frequency bands and the filter that acts on the BBB MHz frequency band ("Filter selection ( 8 MHz filter selection))), and the filter is set ("8 MHz band filter setting" in the processing sequence 11). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the broadcasting system (color system and sound system) is valid ("color discrimination / sound discrimination" in the processing sequence 11).
その次に、CCC MHzの周波数帯域に作用させるフィルタを、隣接する周波数帯域との間隔に基づいて、CCC MHzの周波数帯域に適したフィルタとして6MHzおよび8MHzのフィルタを選択する(処理シーケンス11の「フィルタ選択(6MHzと8MHzフィルタ選択)」)。この場合、処理シーケンス11では、まず6MHzのフィルタを設定し(処理シーケンス11の「6MHz帯域フィルタ設定」)、放送方式(カラーシステムおよびサウンドシステム)が有効であるか否かを確認する(処理シーケンス11の「カラー判別・サウンド判別」)。その後、放送方式が有効でないと判定された場合には、8MHzのフィルタを設定し(処理シーケンス11の「8MHz帯域フィルタ設定」)、放送方式(カラーシステムおよびサウンドシステム)が有効であるか否かを確認する(処理シーケンス11の「カラー判別・サウンド判別」)。
Next, a filter of 6 MHz and 8 MHz is selected as a filter suitable for the frequency band of CCC MHz based on the interval between the adjacent frequency bands for the filter that operates on the frequency band of CCC MHz ("processing sequence 11" Filter selection (6 MHz and 8 MHz filter selection) "). In this case, in the processing sequence 11, a 6 MHz filter is first set ("6 MHz band filter setting" in the processing sequence 11), and it is confirmed whether or not the broadcasting system (color system and sound system) is valid (processing sequence). 11 “Color discrimination / Sound discrimination”). Thereafter, when it is determined that the broadcasting system is not valid, an 8 MHz filter is set (“8 MHz band filter setting” in the processing sequence 11), and whether the broadcasting system (color system and sound system) is valid. Is confirmed ("color discrimination / sound discrimination" in the processing sequence 11).
なお、図6に示すように、CCC MHzの周波数帯域に作用させるフィルタとしては、地域別に設定された周波数帯域を用いて、6MHzおよび8MHzのフィルタのいずれかを選択して、その選択したフィルタの設定および放送方式の判別を行う構成であってもよい。
As shown in FIG. 6, as a filter that acts on the frequency band of CCC MHz, one of 6 MHz and 8 MHz filters is selected using the frequency band set for each region, and the filter of the selected filter is selected. It may be configured to determine the setting and the broadcasting system.
このように、放送受信装置1では、比較例とは異なり、全周波数範囲に存在する局を有する周波数帯域の全てを検出した後に、それぞれの周波数帯域に対してフィルタを作用させる。また、各周波数帯域に作用させるフィルタは、放送方式の判別を行う周波数帯域(対象周波数帯域)に隣接する周波数帯域との間隔に基づいて選択される。すなわち、比較例とは異なり、チャンネルサーチ時の全ての周波数帯域に対する局判別処理を行った後に、各周波数帯域に対する放送方式判別処理を行うというように、局判別処理と放送方式判別処理とを別々のタイミングで実施している。
Thus, unlike the comparative example, in the broadcast receiving apparatus 1, after detecting all the frequency bands having stations existing in the entire frequency range, the filter is applied to each frequency band. Further, the filter to be applied to each frequency band is selected based on the interval between the frequency band adjacent to the frequency band (target frequency band) for determining the broadcasting system. That is, unlike the comparative example, the station discrimination process and the broadcast system discrimination process are performed separately, such as performing the broadcast system discrimination process for each frequency band after performing the station discrimination process for all frequency bands at the time of channel search. It is carried out at the timing.
それゆえ、放送受信装置1では、対象周波数帯域に作用させるフィルタが、隣接する周波数帯域に含まれるテレビジョン信号の一部にまで作用してしまうことを防止することができる。すなわち、対象周波数帯域に対応した適切なフィルタを選択して作用させることができる。
Therefore, in the broadcast receiving apparatus 1, it is possible to prevent the filter that acts on the target frequency band from acting on a part of the television signal included in the adjacent frequency band. That is, an appropriate filter corresponding to the target frequency band can be selected and operated.
また、放送受信装置1においては、不適切なフィルタを対象周波数帯域に作用させることを防ぐことができるので、比較例において生じる可能性がある放送方式の誤判別を防ぐことができる。すなわち、放送受信装置1では、比較例に比べて、より精度の高い放送方式の判別を行うことができる。また、放送受信装置1では、不適切なフィルタを作用させた場合に生じる処理時間分を短縮することも可能である。
Also, in the broadcast receiving apparatus 1, it is possible to prevent an inappropriate filter from acting on the target frequency band, and thus it is possible to prevent erroneous determination of the broadcast system that may occur in the comparative example. That is, the broadcast receiving apparatus 1 can determine the broadcast method with higher accuracy than the comparative example. In the broadcast receiving apparatus 1, it is also possible to reduce the processing time that occurs when an inappropriate filter is applied.
したがって、放送受信装置1では、複数の放送方式が混在したアナログ放送環境において、従来のように一意的なフィルタ制御による放送方式の誤判別を行うことなく、精度の高い放送方式の判別を行うことができる。
Therefore, in the broadcast receiving apparatus 1, in an analog broadcasting environment in which a plurality of broadcasting systems are mixed, it is possible to determine the broadcasting system with high accuracy without performing erroneous determination of the broadcasting system by unique filter control as in the past. Can do.

(1) About 200 ms for tuner frequency band setting and station discrimination processing;
(2) About 300 ms until a filter is set and a stable signal is extracted,
(3) About 200 ms for broadcasting system discrimination
It takes a long processing time.

この場合、比較例においては、周波数帯域ごとに上記(1)~(3)の処理が行われるので、比較例におけるチャンネルサーチ処理時間は、
{(1)+(2;6MHzのフィルタ設定)+(3)
+(2;8MHzのフィルタ設定)+(3)}×4 = 4800ms
となる。すなわち、最大およそ4.8秒で、全ての周波数帯域の放送方式の判別が完了する。 In this case, in the comparative example, since the processes (1) to (3) are performed for each frequency band, the channel search processing time in the comparative example is
{(1) + (2; 6 MHz filter setting) + (3)
+ (2; 8 MHz filter setting) + (3)} × 4 = 4800 ms
It becomes. That is, the determination of the broadcasting system for all frequency bands is completed in a maximum of about 4.8 seconds.
{(1)+(2;6MHzのフィルタ設定)+(3)
+(2;8MHzのフィルタ設定)+(3)}×4 = 4800ms
となる。すなわち、最大およそ4.8秒で、全ての周波数帯域の放送方式の判別が完了する。 In this case, in the comparative example, since the processes (1) to (3) are performed for each frequency band, the channel search processing time in the comparative example is
{(1) + (2; 6 MHz filter setting) + (3)
+ (2; 8 MHz filter setting) + (3)} × 4 = 4800 ms
It becomes. That is, the determination of the broadcasting system for all frequency bands is completed in a maximum of about 4.8 seconds.
一方、放送受信装置1においては、局を有する周波数帯域を全て検出した後に、上記(1)~(3)の処理が行われるので、フィルタ選択処理の時間を加えると、放送受信装置1におけるチャンネルサーチ処理時間は、
{(1)×4}+{(1)
+フィルタ選択(およそ100ms)+(2)+(3)}×4 = 4000ms
となり、およそ4.0秒で、全ての周波数帯域の放送方式の判別が完了する。すなわち、放送受信装置1では、比較例に比べて最大でおよそ0.8秒、処理時間を短縮することができる。 On the other hand, in thebroadcast receiving apparatus 1, the processing of (1) to (3) is performed after all the frequency bands having stations are detected. Therefore, if the time for filter selection processing is added, the channel in the broadcast receiving apparatus 1 The search processing time is
{(1) × 4} + {(1)
+ Filter selection (approximately 100 ms) + (2) + (3)} × 4 = 4000 ms
Thus, in about 4.0 seconds, the determination of the broadcasting system for all frequency bands is completed. That is, in thebroadcast receiving apparatus 1, the processing time can be shortened by about 0.8 seconds at the maximum as compared with the comparative example.

また、本発明の態様6に係る放送受信装置(1)の制御方法は、
アナログ放送波を受信可能な放送受信装置の制御方法であって、
複数の局のそれぞれが有する周波数を検出する局部発振周波数検出ステップ(S1~S5)と、
上記局部発振周波数検出ステップにおいて検出した上記周波数のうちの検出した局を有する周波数帯域である対象周波数帯域と、当該対象周波数帯域に隣接する周波数帯域との間隔に応じて、当該対象周波数帯域に作用させる、所定の周波数帯域を有するフィルタを選択するフィルタ選択ステップ(S13)と、を含んでいる。 Moreover, the control method of the broadcast receiver (1) according to theaspect 6 of the present invention is as follows:

アナログ放送波を受信可能な放送受信装置の制御方法であって、
複数の局のそれぞれが有する周波数を検出する局部発振周波数検出ステップ(S1~S5)と、
上記局部発振周波数検出ステップにおいて検出した上記周波数のうちの検出した局を有する周波数帯域である対象周波数帯域と、当該対象周波数帯域に隣接する周波数帯域との間隔に応じて、当該対象周波数帯域に作用させる、所定の周波数帯域を有するフィルタを選択するフィルタ選択ステップ(S13)と、を含んでいる。 Moreover, the control method of the broadcast receiver (1) according to the
A control method for a broadcast receiving apparatus capable of receiving an analog broadcast wave,
A local oscillation frequency detecting step (S1 to S5) for detecting a frequency of each of the plurality of stations;
Acts on the target frequency band according to the interval between the target frequency band that is the frequency band having the detected station and the frequency band adjacent to the target frequency band among the frequencies detected in the local oscillation frequency detection step. And a filter selection step (S13) for selecting a filter having a predetermined frequency band.
上記の構成によれば、検出された複数の局のそれぞれが有する周波数のうちの検出した局を有する周波数帯域である対象周波数帯域と、当該対象周波数帯域に隣接する周波数帯域との間隔に応じて、所定の周波数帯域を有するフィルタを選択する。そのため、対象周波数帯域に作用させるフィルタが、隣接する周波数帯域に含まれるアナログ放送波の一部にまで作用してしまうことを防止することができる。すなわち、対象周波数帯域に対応した適切なフィルタを選択して作用させることができる。
According to said structure, according to the space | interval of the target frequency band which is a frequency band which has the detected station among the frequencies which each of the detected some station has, and the frequency band adjacent to the said target frequency band A filter having a predetermined frequency band is selected. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the filter that acts on the target frequency band from acting on a part of the analog broadcast wave included in the adjacent frequency band. That is, an appropriate filter corresponding to the target frequency band can be selected and operated.
一般に、アナログ放送においては、受信するアナログ放送波に対応した適切なフィルタを作用させないと、放送方式(カラーシステムおよびサウンドシステム)の正確な判別を行うことができず、結果として正確な局登録を行うことができない。そして、このような状況は、異なる放送方式で規定されたアナログ放送波が混信している状態において特に起こり得る。
In general, in an analog broadcast, unless an appropriate filter corresponding to the received analog broadcast wave is applied, an accurate determination of the broadcast system (color system and sound system) cannot be made, and as a result, an accurate station registration is performed. I can't do it. Such a situation can occur particularly in a state where analog broadcast waves defined by different broadcasting systems are interfering.
本発明の一態様に係る放送受信装置およびその制御方法によれば、上述のように、対象周波数帯域に対応した適切なフィルタを選択できるので、放送方式の正確な判別を行うことが可能となる。すなわち、アナログ放送における放送方式の検出精度を向上させることができる。
According to the broadcast receiving apparatus and the control method thereof according to one aspect of the present invention, as described above, an appropriate filter corresponding to the target frequency band can be selected, so that it is possible to accurately determine the broadcast system. . That is, it is possible to improve the detection accuracy of the broadcasting system in analog broadcasting.
また、対象周波数帯域に対応した適切なフィルタを選択できるので、不適切なフィルタの選択によって、再度適切なフィルタ選択を行うといった処理の発生を防ぐことができる。それゆえ、チャンネルサーチにおける処理時間の短縮を図ることも可能となる。
Also, since an appropriate filter corresponding to the target frequency band can be selected, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of processing such as selecting an appropriate filter again by selecting an inappropriate filter. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the processing time in the channel search.
さらに、本発明の態様2に係る放送受信装置では、上記態様1において、
