Mode for Invention
[14] FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram for illustrating a process of transmitting and receiving a digital broadcast. In general, referring to FIG. 1, in digital broadcasting, video information 110, audio information 120, and other information 130 that specifies channel numbers, reproduction time, etc., are multiplexed into a packet, which is a transport stream (TS), by a multiplexer 140, and the packet is transmitted to a digital
broadcast receiver via a channel. Here, the TS is obtained by multiplexing several packets, which are comprised of a video bit stream and an audio bit stream, into a bit stream. With use of the TS, it is possible to multiplex a plurality of programs into a bit stream. The digital broadcast receiver receives the TS, extracts video information 160, audio information 170, and other information 180 from the TS by a demultiplexer 150, decodes them, and provides a user with the decoded result. As described above, the other information 130 may include various types of information according to the digital broadcast standard. In particular, according to an embodiment of the present invention, information regarding time when a broadcast is transmitted must be included in the other information 130 so that the information regarding the time is extracted from the TS to set the time of a real-time clock (RTC).
[15] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of setting the time of an RTC in a digital broadcast receiver, according to a non-limiting embodiment of the present invention. First, the digital broadcast receiver receives a TS from an apparatus that transmits a digital broadcast (hereinafter referred to as a 'transmitter') via a wireless channel (210), and determines whether the received TS contains time information (220). Time information may not be contained in the TS according to the digital broadcast standard. If time information is not contained in the TS, a received broadcast is reproduced (250). If time information is contained in the TS, the time information is extracted from the TS (230), the time of the RTC is corrected based on the extracted time information (240), and the received broadcast is reproduced (250). Accordingly, in the above non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, the digital broadcast receiver is capable of synchronizing the time of the RTC included therein with a reference time based on the time information contained in the TS transmitted by the transmitter.
[16] It is crucial that the digital broadcast receiver sets the time of the RTC based on the time information contained in the TS transmitted by the transmitter especially when the digital broadcast receiver needs to execute an application program for scheduled recording at a specific instant of time. This case will now be described in greater detail.
[17] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of setting the time of a real-time clock
(RTC) before an application program, which is scheduled to operate at a specific instant of time, operates, according to a non-limiting embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, a scheduled-recording program will be instanced.
[18] First, a user sets a scheduled recording by selecting a specific time and a specific channel, using a scheduled-recording program stored in a digital broadcast receiver (310). Then, when recognizing that the specific time is approaching after a predetermined amount of time (320), the digital broadcast receiver requests a transmitter to provide time information (330). Since the digital broadcast receiver determines
whether it is the specific time based on the time of the RTC, the digital broadcast receiver requests the time information to set the time of the RTC before the specific time set in the RTC, considering the difference between the time of the RTC and the time information transmitted from the transmitter. Then, as per the request, the transmitter transmits a TS containing the time information to the digital broadcast receiver (340). Here, the TS is needed to correct the time of the RTC, and thus may not contain video or audio broadcast data. When receiving the TS containing the time information from the transmitter, the digital broadcast receiver extracts the time information from the TS and corrects the time of the RTC based on the extracted time information (350). Of course, when there is no difference between the time of the RTC and a reference time based on the time information, the time of the RTC need not be amended. Also, in operation 350, the digital broadcast receiver executes the scheduled- recording program at the specific time with reference to the time of the RTC synchronized with the reference time, receives a TS of a desired broadcast, and records the broadcast.
[19] In the present embodiment, the digital broadcast receiver requests the transmitter to provide time information a predetermined amount of time before the specific time, and updates the time of the RTC based on the provided time information. However, in general, since various TSs, including a TS containing time information, are transmitted via many channels, the digital broadcast receiver may be set to detect a channel which carries the TS containing the time information from among the TSs at a predetermined instant of time without requesting the transmitter to provide the time information.
[20] Also, without respect to a time-dependent application program in the present embodiment, the digital broadcast receiver may periodically receive a TS containing time information to correct the time of the RTC, thereby maintaining a minimum difference between the time of the RTC and a reference time based on the time information. However, this is possible when the transmitter periodically transmits a TS containing time information.
[21] FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a digital broadcast receiver 400 according to a non- limiting embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the digital broadcast receiver 400 includes a transceiver 410, an information extractor 420, a time setter 430, a RTC 440, a controller 450, a storage unit 460, an MPEG decoder 470, and a time- information requesting unit 480. For the complete operation of the digital broadcast receiver 400, additional constituent elements are further included therein, but are not included in the block diagram of FIG. 4 in order to clarify the claimed gist of the present invention.
[22] The transceiver 410 transmits or receives a digital broadcast signal, i.e., a TS, and the information extractor 420 extracts time information and broadcast data from the TS
received from the transceiver 410. The MPEG decoder 470 decodes audio/video data extracted by the information extractor 420 and transmits the decoding result to a user via an output unit (not shown). The time setter 430 corrects the time of the RTC 440 based on the time information extracted by the information extractor 420. The time- information requesting unit 480 requests a transmitter (not shown) to provide a TS containing time information via the transceiver 410, when the time of the RTC 440 has not been corrected for a predetermined amount of time or when the time of the RTC 440 needs to be corrected. The storage unit 460 stores various application programs. In the case of a time-dependent application program, such as a scheduled-recording program, which is operated by the controller 450 based on the RTC 440, the controller 450 checks the time of the RTC 440, and controls the time-information requesting unit 480 to request the transmitter to provide time information for correcting the time of the RTC 440 a predetermined amount of time before a specific time set by the user. Also, the controller 450 can detect a channel which carries broadcast data containing the time information and tunes to the channel to receive or request the time information.
[23] The above non-limiting embodiments of the present invention may be embodied as computer readable programs, and performed in a general digital computer that can execute the programs, using a computer readable medium.
[24] The computer readable medium may be any recording apparatus capable of storing data that is read by a computer system, e.g., a magnetic recording medium (a ROM, a RAM, a floppy disk, a hard disc, etc.), an optical recording medium (a CD-ROM, a DVD, etc.), and a carrier wave that transmits data via the Internet, for example.
