Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of a broadcast receiving apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Here, an RDS receiver that receives FM multiplex broadcasting widely used in Europe is exemplified as the broadcast receiver.

  The broadcast receiving apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention detects a receiving means 1 for receiving and demodulating a broadcast program, and the received electric field strength of the demodulated broadcast program, and the detected received electric field strength has a predetermined value. When it exceeds, it is determined whether or not the broadcast genre identification information (hereinafter referred to as PTY code) included in the broadcast program matches the broadcast genre desired to be viewed (hereinafter referred to as priority PTY). The broadcast station data is stored in the preset memory 2 preferentially, and when the search based on all frequencies in the receivable frequency band is completed, the broadcast station data stored in the preset memory 2 has a high electric field strength. The control means 3 for performing the channel selection in accordance with the broadcast station data stored in the updated preset memory 2 and the priority P selected and input by the user. Supplied to the control unit 3 by captures and Y codes, constituted by an input means 4 for starting the execution of the auto store function, a display unit 5 for displaying the broadcast station data stored in the preset memory 2.

The receiving means 1 described above includes an antenna 11, a broadcast receiving unit 12, and a broadcast station data demodulating unit 13.
The broadcast receiving unit 12 selectively receives broadcast waves from a plurality of broadcast stations via the antenna 11, and the broadcast station data demodulating unit 13 receives the broadcast station data when the broadcast receiving unit 12 receives the broadcast waves. Demodulate and output to the control means 3.

The preset memory 2 includes an intermediate memory 21 and a final memory 22. The memory area A (211: first memory area) and the memory area B (212: second memory area) are allocated to the intermediate memory 21, and the broadcast genre identification information detected by the control means 3 is When it is determined that it matches the priority PTY code, the broadcast station data is preferentially stored in the memory area A (211), and when it is determined that they do not match, the broadcast data is stored in the memory area B (212). .
In the final memory 22, under the control of the control means 3, the broadcast station data read from the memory area A (211) of the intermediate memory 21 is rearranged in order of increasing received electric field strength (ascending order). Sequentially, identification information (auto store number) is assigned, and the contents are transferred and stored. When the final memory 22 is empty, the broadcast station data read from the memory area B (212) in the intermediate memory 21 is rearranged in ascending order of the received electric field strength, and an auto store number is sequentially assigned to each. The contents are transferred and stored.

  The control means 3 includes a reception frequency setting unit 31, an electric field strength detection unit 32, a broadcast genre identification information detection unit 33 (referred to as PTY code detection unit 33), a memory control unit 34, and a user interface unit 35 (hereinafter referred to as UI). Part 35) and a main control part 36.

The reception frequency setting unit 31 controls the broadcast reception unit 12 of the reception unit 1 by sequentially changing the reception frequency in the frequency band. The electric field strength detection unit 32 detects the reception electric field strength for each reception frequency, activates the PTY code detection unit 33, and outputs the PTY code detection unit 33 to the memory control unit 34.
The PTY code detector 33 also includes PTY included in the broadcast station data demodulated by the broadcast data demodulator 13 of the receiving means 1 when the received electric field intensity detected by the electric field intensity detector 32 exceeds a predetermined value. The code is detected and output to the memory control unit 34.

  The memory control unit 34 determines whether or not the PTY code detected by the PTY code detection unit 33 matches the priority PTY code input by the input unit 4, and when it matches, the broadcast station data is stored in the preset memory. 2 is preferentially stored, and when the search based on all frequencies in the receivable frequency band is completed, the broadcast station data stored in the preset memory 2 is rearranged in ascending order of the received electric field strength, and updated. It outputs to the main control part 36 and the display means 5.

Further, when the memory control unit 34 determines that the PTY code detected by the PTY code detection unit 33 matches the priority PTY code, it stores the broadcast station data in the intermediate memory 21 memory area A (211) and determines that there is a mismatch. The broadcast station data is stored in the memory area B (212) of the intermediate memory 21. Further, when the accumulated capacity of the broadcast station data stored in the intermediate memory 21 exceeds the memory capacity of the intermediate memory 21, the broadcast data having the minimum received electric field strength among the already stored broadcast data and the new stored data are stored. The received field strength of the broadcast station data to be compared is compared, one is discarded and the other is stored.
The memory control unit 34 further rearranges the broadcast station data read from the memory area A (211) in the intermediate memory 21 in ascending order of the received electric field strength, assigns a preset number to each, and transfers the data to the final memory 22. When the memory 22 has a free space, the broadcast station data read from the memory area B (212) in the intermediate memory 21 is rearranged in ascending order of the received electric field strength, and a preset number is sequentially assigned to each of the broadcast station data and transferred to the final memory 22. .

The UI unit 35 reads out broadcast station data stored in the preset memory 2 (final memory 22), displays it on the externally connected display means 5, prompts the user to select a channel, and inputs the user externally connected. 4 is output to the main control unit 36.
Further, the main control unit 36 performs channel selection by controlling the reception frequency setting unit 31 based on the updated broadcast station data output from the memory control unit 34. Specifically, the main control unit 36 sets, in the reception frequency setting unit 31, a reception frequency corresponding to the preset number located at the highest level read from the preset memory 2 (final memory 22) via the memory control unit 34. . The main control unit 36 also outputs the largest number of PTY codes among the PTY codes included in the broadcast station data transferred to the preset memory 2 (final memory 22) to the memory control unit 34 as the priority PTY.

  Further, each time a channel is selected, the main control unit 36 stores the PTY code included in the broadcast station data used for channel selection as a history in a built-in history memory (not shown), and refers to the stored history. In addition, it has a function of outputting a frequently used PTY code to the memory control unit 34 as a priority PTY.

  The input means 4 selects a preset key for selecting and receiving a broadcast program corresponding to broadcast station data (reception frequency) stored in the preset memory 2 by one touch and a PTY code desired to be viewed from a plurality of PTYs. It is assumed that a PTY selection key is arranged.

In the above configuration, the reception frequency setting unit 31 of the control unit 3 sets the reception frequency for the broadcast reception unit 12 of the reception unit 1 under the control of the main control unit 36, and thereby the broadcast reception unit 12. Receives the broadcast wave of the set reception frequency.
Subsequently, when the user selects a desired broadcast station by operating a preset key assigned to the input unit 4, the frequency related to the desired broadcast station is set by the main control unit 36 of the control unit 3 to the reception frequency setting unit 31. The reception frequency setting unit 31 sets the reception frequency in the broadcast reception unit 12.

On the other hand, the field strength detection unit 32 detects the reception field strength of the reception frequency, and outputs the reception field strength to the memory control unit 34 when the reception field strength exceeds a predetermined value. The PTY code detector 33 detects the PTY code in the broadcast station data output by the broadcast station data demodulator 13 of the receiving means 1 and outputs this PTY code to the memory controller 34.
When the user operates the auto store key assigned to the input unit 4 and the memory control unit 34 receives the auto store command generated by the UI unit 35 and is generated by the main control unit 36, the memory control unit 34 will be described later. As described above, once the broadcast station data is stored in the intermediate memory 21 of the preset memory 2, the broadcast station data stored in the intermediate memory 21 is rearranged, transferred to the final memory 22 as autostore data, and stored. The broadcast station data stored in the final memory 22 is read out by the memory control unit 34 and displayed on the display means 5, and the main control unit 36 performs channel selection thereafter.

  Here, the intermediate memory 21 is divided into areas (memory area A and memory area B), but is not essential and may exist independently. Although the intermediate memory 21 and the final memory 22 have been described separately, the area may be divided into one memory chip, and there is no limitation on mounting.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart cited for explaining the operation of the broadcast receiving apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 also shows the procedure of the auto store control method in the broadcast receiving apparatus of the present invention.
Hereinafter, the operation of the broadcast receiving apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 will be described in detail with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG.

When the user operates the input unit 4 (PTY selection key) to select a certain PTY code (for example, popular) as the priority PTY code and further presses the auto store key assigned to the input unit 4, the control unit 3 Starts an auto store operation for taking a popular as a priority genre.
As a result, the main control unit 36 outputs an auto store command including the priority PTY to the memory control unit 34 and controls the reception frequency setting unit 31 to sequentially change the reception frequency of the broadcast reception unit 12 and receive it. Change the frequency.

On the other hand, the electric field strength detection unit 32 detects the electric field strength for each reception frequency and compares it with a predetermined value (threshold value) in order to determine whether or not it is a receivable broadcasting station (step ST21). Here, when the received electric field strength exceeds a predetermined value, the electric field strength detector 32 activates the PTY code detector 33 and outputs the electric field strength to the memory controller 34.
The activated PTY code detection unit 33 detects the PTY code from the broadcast station data output from the broadcast station data modulation unit 13 of the receiving means 1 and outputs the PTY code to the memory control unit 34 (step ST22). Thus, the memory control unit 34 is controlled by the main control unit 36, the frequency set by the reception frequency setting unit 31, the electric field strength detected by the electric field strength detection unit 32, and the PTY code detection unit 33. Three parameters of the detected PTY code will be supplied.

Accordingly, the memory control unit 34 determines whether or not the PTY code included in the broadcast station data is a priority PTY code (step ST23), and when it is determined that the PTY code is a priority PTY code (step ST23 " YES "), the received broadcast station data is stored in the memory area A (211) of the intermediate memory 21 allocated to the preset memory 2 (step ST24).
On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not the priority PTY code (step ST23 “NO”), the memory control unit 34 stores the received broadcast station data in the memory area B (212) in the intermediate memory 21 (step ST25). If a PTY code cannot be detected in step ST22 (step ST22 “NO”), only the frequency and the electric field strength are stored in the memory area B (212) of the intermediate memory 21 as broadcast station data.

  Note that, since the memory capacity is usually finite, if the memory capacity is full, the minimum field strength value among the already stored broadcasting station data and the field strength of the broadcasting station data to be newly stored The broadcast station data having a small electric field strength value is erased and the broadcast station data having a large electric field strength value is stored.

Then, the main control unit 36 controls the reception frequency setting unit 31 to sequentially change the reception frequency of the broadcast reception unit 12 of the reception unit 1 and determines whether or not the search has been completed for all frequencies (step ST26). When the search is completed (step ST26 “YES”), the fact is notified to the memory control unit 34.
When the search based on all frequencies in the receivable frequency band is completed, the memory control unit 34 transfers the broadcast station data stored in the intermediate memory 21 to the final memory 22 and stores it (step ST27). .

FIG. 3 is a flowchart cited for explaining the detailed procedure of step ST27 (transfer to the final memory) shown in FIG.
Hereinafter, the broadcast data transfer process from the intermediate memory 21 to the final memory 22 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

The memory control unit 34 reads out the broadcast station data stored in the memory area A (211) of the intermediate memory 21, that is, the data of the broadcast station whose PTY code is a popular PTY (step ST271), and these broadcast station data. Are sorted in ascending order of received electric field strength (step ST272), and autostore numbers “1”, “2”,... Are assigned in descending order of electric field strength (step ST273).
If the number of broadcasting stations to be registered in the final memory 22 of the preset memory 2 is not filled at this time (step ST274 “NO”), then the broadcasting station data stored in the memory area B (212) of the intermediate memory 21, that is, Data of a broadcasting station that does not have a priority PTY code is read (step ST275). These broadcast station data are rearranged in ascending order of electric field strength (step ST272), an auto store number is assigned (step ST273), the broadcast station data table (a set of broadcast station data) is updated, and the final memory 22 is stored. It ends when the number of registered broadcast stations becomes full.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the broadcast station data table stored in the final memory of the broadcast receiving apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
In the broadcast station data table, an auto store number, an electric field strength, and a PTY code are assigned as data items, and the auto store number is associated with a broadcast station frequency. In the example shown in FIG. 4, auto store numbers “1” to “7” are broadcast station data stored in the memory area A (211) of the intermediate memory 21, and auto store numbers “8” to “10”. Is the broadcast station data stored in the memory area B (212).

  Here, the final memory 22 has a capacity capable of storing broadcast station data for 10 stations, and the number of broadcast stations stored in the memory area A (211) of the intermediate memory 21 is 10 or more. Thus, 10 pieces of broadcast station data whose popular PTY code is popular are stored in the final memory 22. On the other hand, when the number of broadcasting stations stored in the memory area A (211) of the intermediate memory 21 is nine or less, broadcasting station data in which the PTY code is popular is sequentially stored in the final memory 22 in descending order of electric field strength. After that, the broadcasting station data in which the PTY code stored in the memory area B (212) of the intermediate memory 21 is not popular is stored in descending order of electric field strength until the number of all broadcasting station data in the final memory 22 reaches ten. Will be. Thus, the final memory 22 always stores 10 pieces of broadcast station data or the number of broadcast stations that can be received.

On the other hand, when the memory control unit 34 informs the display means 5 that the above-described auto store has been completed, the display means 5 transmits the broadcast station data table stored in the final memory 22 of the preset memory 2 via the memory control unit 34. Is read and displayed.
At this time, on the display screen, for example, a broadcast station name is displayed in association with the auto store number. Then, when the user selects a channel by operating the input unit 4 (channel selection key) with reference to the broadcast station data displayed on the display unit 5, that is, in the order of setting the broadcast data (from the top). When the auto store number is input to the main control unit 36, the main control unit 36 controls the reception frequency setting unit 31 using the broadcast station frequency corresponding to the auto store number as the reception frequency via the memory control unit 34 to control the broadcast receiving unit of the receiving means 1 Set to 12. Thus, the broadcast receiving unit 12 receives the broadcast program wave of the broadcast station having the auto store number input from the input unit 4. After the auto store is completed, the main control unit 36 sets the broadcast station frequency corresponding to the auto store number 1 through the memory control unit 34 as the reception frequency to the broadcast reception unit 12 through the reception frequency setting unit 31. You may do it.

In addition, according to the first embodiment of the present invention described above, the RDS receiver widely used in Europe has been exemplified. However, the US RBDS, DAB, etc. having a code that can identify the genre of the broadcast program on the subcarrier. The same applies to.
In addition, the example in which the user sets the priority PTY code by operating the PTY selection key from the input unit 4 has been described. However, among the broadcasting stations stored in the preset station, the most PTY code may be set as the priority PTY. The priority PTY may be determined from the history of past PTY searches. In this way, any other information can be used as long as the information can be obtained indirectly without any special awareness of the user, so the auto store function can be implemented without requiring any special operation. The burden on the user can be reduced and convenience can be provided. Furthermore, although only an example in which only one priority PTY is set has been described, a plurality of priority PTYs may be set, or a priority order may be set between a plurality of priority PTYs. .

Further, according to the first embodiment of the present invention described above, the PTY code is used for determining whether or not the broadcast genre is desired by the user, but the traffic information reception setting is provided to the user by the input means 4. Alternatively, the identification code (TP) of the traffic information broadcasting station and the identification code (TA) during traffic information broadcasting may be used for the determination.
FIG. 5 shows an example of a broadcast station data table generated by the control means 3 in this case. Here, an example is shown in which autostore is preferentially executed by combining traffic information based on a TA code and a pobbler based on a PTY code.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the auto store process can be performed by giving priority to the broadcast station of the broadcast genre desired by the user. As a result, the preset memory 2 preferentially stores the broadcast stations of the broadcast genre desired by the user, not the broadcast stations of the broadcast genre not desired. Further, even when the number of broadcast genres desired by the user is small, the number of broadcast stations that can be received is not excluded, so that broadcast data corresponding to the number of broadcast stations corresponding to the memory capacity of the preset memory 2 can be stored. . Furthermore, when the user has set the traffic information reception setting, it is possible to preferentially store the broadcasting station that is receiving the traffic information, and the convenience can be increased.
