无线传输的频道控管方法Channel control method for wireless transmission

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种频道的控管方法，且特别是涉及一种利用无线传输的频道控管方法。The present invention relates to a channel control method, and in particular to a channel control method utilizing wireless transmission.

背景技术Background technique

由于有线电视的日益普及，使其电视频道的数目亦随之增加，如同电影针对各年龄层制定的分级制度，电视针对各收视对象亦需根据节目内容制定适合的频道目录。习知技术是藉由一些锁码的功能提供频道分级的保护措施，较常见的是使用定址锁码，即利用信号处理技术，将特定频道的影像及声音数位化，收视户必须使用由有线电视业者所提供的数位电视接收机来解码，才能将信号还原。如此一来，家长便可在家中的数位电视接收机内设定密码，每当在观赏节目前须先输入该密码，否则就无法观赏该节目。另外，某些电视本身亦包含有频道锁码的功能以提供类似的保护措施。Due to the increasing popularity of cable TV, the number of TV channels has also increased. Just like the rating system for movies for each age group, TV also needs to formulate a suitable channel list for each audience according to the program content. The known technology is to provide protection measures for channel classification through some code locking functions. The more common one is to use address lock code, that is, to use signal processing technology to digitize the image and sound of a specific channel. Viewers must use cable TV The digital TV receiver provided by the industry must be decoded to restore the signal. In this way, parents can set a password in the digital television receiver at home, and the password must be input before watching a program, otherwise the program cannot be watched. In addition, some TVs also include a channel lock function to provide similar protection measures.

然而，上述的锁码手段都只能设定一组锁码频道，并无法根据各人喜好的不同来设定频道的组合，而且在看特定锁码节目时还需要另外输入密码，较不具便利性。However, the above-mentioned code-locking means can only set a group of code-locked channels, and the combination of channels cannot be set according to different preferences of each person, and another password needs to be input when watching a specific code-locked program, which is not convenient. sex.
