本發明係指一種多媒體系統之控制方法及其多媒體系統，尤指一種可顯示多媒體系統中各裝置之功能，以供使用者選擇之控制方法及其多媒體系統。The present invention relates to a multimedia system control method and a multimedia system thereof, and more particularly to a control method capable of displaying functions of various devices in a multimedia system for user selection and a multimedia system thereof.
隨著科技的發展，除了傳統的電視機外，家用多媒體系統包含越來越多的影音裝置，例如電視機上盒(television Set Top Box，STB)、數位多功能光碟播放器(DVD player)、數位音響等。對於一個多媒體系統而言，其下之影音裝置之功能設定須根據使用者之不同的需求做最佳化，以發揮完整的影音功能。With the development of technology, in addition to traditional TV sets, home multimedia systems contain more and more audio and video devices, such as television set top box (STB), digital versatile disc player (DVD player), Digital audio and so on. For a multimedia system, the function settings of the audio and video devices under it must be optimized according to the different needs of users to achieve full audio and video functions.
舉例來說，若電視機及影音裝置符合一高解析多媒體介面暨消費性電子控制標準(HDMI-CEC)，當影音裝置連接至電視機時，影音裝置及電視機透過一交換(handshaking)訊號，以得知彼此的功能。然而，隨著影音裝置的數目越來越多，大多數的使用者並不清楚每一影音裝置的細部功能，造成使用上的障礙。即使知道每一影音裝置的細部功能，使用者亦須透過每一影音裝置專屬的遙控器或功能按鍵，逐一地對每一影音裝置作設定，明顯地不易於操作。For example, if the television and the audio-visual device comply with a high-resolution multimedia interface and consumer electronic control standard (HDMI-CEC), when the audio-visual device is connected to the television, the audio-visual device and the television pass a handshake signal. To know each other's functions. However, as the number of audio-visual devices increases, most users are not aware of the detailed functions of each audio-visual device, causing obstacles in use. Even if you know the detailed functions of each audio-visual device, the user must set each audio-visual device one by one through the remote control or function buttons of each audio-visual device, which is obviously not easy to operate.
因此，如何整合各影音裝置之功能設定操控流程，已成為業界的努力目標之一。Therefore, how to integrate the function setting control flow of each audio-visual device has become one of the efforts of the industry.
因此，本發明之主要目的即在於提供一種多媒體系統之控制方法及其多媒體系統。Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a method of controlling a multimedia system and a multimedia system therefor.

請參考第1圖，第1圖為本發明實施例一多媒體系統10之示意圖。多媒體系統10符合一高解析多媒體介面暨消費性電子控制標準(HDMI-CEC)，且包含有一下游(Sink)裝置100、一上游(Source)裝置110、一第一處理裝置112、一第二處理裝置102及一更新裝置104。第一處理裝置112設置於來源裝置110中，用來於來源裝置110連接至終端裝置100時，提供一功能清單LIS至終端裝置100。第二處理裝置102設置於終端裝置100中，用來根據功能清單LIS，顯示一功能選單MNU，以表列來源裝置110之功能清單LIS。更新裝置104亦設於終端裝置100中，用來根據一控制訊號CON，產生對應於功能清單LIS之一設定資料CFG于來源裝置110，以更新來源裝置110之可用功能。Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a multimedia system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The multimedia system 10 conforms to a high resolution multimedia interface and consumer electronic control standard (HDMI-CEC), and includes a sink device 100, a source device 110, a first processing device 112, and a second processing. Device 102 and an update device 104. The first processing device 112 is disposed in the source device 110 for providing a function list LIS to the terminal device 100 when the source device 110 is connected to the terminal device 100. The second processing device 102 is disposed in the terminal device 100 for displaying a function menu MNU according to the function list LIS to list the function list LIS of the source device 110. The update device 104 is also disposed in the terminal device 100 for generating a function CFG corresponding to the function list LIS to the source device 110 according to a control signal CON to update the available functions of the source device 110.
簡單來說，多媒體系統10將來源裝置110支援之功能顯示於終端裝置100，供使用者選擇，使得使用者可得知來源裝置110的功能。如此一來，使用者可根據終端裝置100顯示之功能選單MNU，選擇是否啟動來源裝置110支援之功能。Briefly, the multimedia system 10 displays the functions supported by the source device 110 on the terminal device 100 for the user to select so that the user can know the function of the source device 110. In this way, the user can select whether to activate the function supported by the source device 110 according to the function menu MNU displayed by the terminal device 100.
舉例來說，請參考第2圖，第2圖為功能選單MNU之一實施例示意圖。在第2圖中，終端裝置100為一電視機，來源裝置110為一電視機上盒(television Set Top Box，STB)，功能選單MNU顯示電視機上盒支援之一單鍵撥放(one touch play)功能、一遙控通過(remote control pass through)功能及一系統待機(System Standby)功能。若使用者選擇啟動單鍵撥放功能，當電視機上盒之電源被開啟時，電視機之電源亦同時開啟。若使用者選擇啟動遙控忽略功能，電視機上盒不處理遙控器傳送之訊號。若使用者選擇啟動系統待機功能，當電視機關機時，同時關閉電視機上盒。For example, please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a function menu MNU. In FIG. 2, the terminal device 100 is a television set, the source device 110 is a television set top box (STB), and the function menu MNU displays one of the TV set-top box support one-touch dialing (one touch) Play) function, remote control pass through function and system standby function. If the user chooses to activate the one-touch dial function, when the power of the box on the TV is turned on, the power of the TV is also turned on at the same time. If the user chooses to activate the remote control ignore function, the set-top box of the TV does not process the signal transmitted by the remote controller. If the user chooses to activate the system standby function, when the TV is turned off, the TV box is turned off at the same time.
須注意的是，使用者可透過一遙控裝置130，產生控制訊號CON，如第1圖所示。當然，使用者另可透過不同的方法，產生控制訊號CON，例如透過按壓來源裝置110或終端裝置100之功能按鍵100_k、110_k，而不限於此。一旦接收到控制訊號CON，更新裝置104產生對應設定資料CFG，以根據使用者之指示啟動或關係來源裝置110之功能。It should be noted that the user can generate the control signal CON through a remote control device 130, as shown in FIG. Of course, the user can generate the control signal CON by different methods, for example, by pressing the function buttons 100_k, 110_k of the source device 110 or the terminal device 100, without being limited thereto. Upon receiving the control signal CON, the updating device 104 generates a corresponding setting data CFG to activate or correlate the functions of the source device 110 in accordance with the user's instructions.
另外，來源裝置110僅用來代表說明來源裝置與終端裝置100之運作情形。也就是說，多媒體系統10可同時包含複數個來源裝置，例如電視機上盒、數位多功能光碟播放器(DVD player)或揚聲器等。In addition, the source device 110 is only used to represent the operation of the source device and the terminal device 100. That is to say, the multimedia system 10 can simultaneously include a plurality of source devices, such as a television set box, a digital versatile disc player (DVD player) or a speaker.
多媒體系統10之操作可歸納為一控制流程30，如第3圖所示。控制流程30包含有下列步驟：步驟300：開始。The operation of the multimedia system 10 can be summarized as a control flow 30, as shown in FIG. Control flow 30 includes the following steps: Step 300: Start.
步驟302：當複數個來源裝置之一來源裝置連接至終端裝置100時，該來源裝置提供功能清單LIS至終端裝置100。Step 302: When one of the plurality of source devices is connected to the terminal device 100, the source device provides the function list LIS to the terminal device 100.
步驟304：根據功能清單LIS，終端裝置100顯示功能選單MNU，以表列該來源裝置之功能。Step 304: According to the function list LIS, the terminal device 100 displays the function menu MNU to list the functions of the source device.
步驟306：根據控制訊號CON，終端裝置100產生對應於功能清單LIS之設定資料CFG于該來源裝置，以更新該來源裝置之可用功能。Step 306: According to the control signal CON, the terminal device 100 generates a setting data CFG corresponding to the function list LIS to the source device to update the available functions of the source device.
步驟308：結束。Step 308: End.
控制流程30之詳細說明可參考前述，在此不贅述。For a detailed description of the control flow 30, reference may be made to the foregoing, and details are not described herein.
在先前技術中，隨著影音裝置的數目越來越多，大多數的使用者並不清楚個別裝置的細部功能，造成使用上的障礙。除此之外，使用者須透過每一影音裝置專屬之遙控器或功能按鍵，啟動或關閉每一影音裝置之特別功能，明顯地不易於操作。相較之下，本發明統一於終端裝置100，顯示來源裝置支援的功能，使得使用者可輕鬆的設定所有來源裝置，進而提升使用上的方便性。In the prior art, as the number of audio-visual devices has increased, most users are not aware of the detailed functions of individual devices, causing obstacles in use. In addition, the user must activate or deactivate the special functions of each audio-visual device through the remote control or function buttons of each audio-visual device, which is obviously not easy to operate. In contrast, the present invention is unified in the terminal device 100, and displays the functions supported by the source device, so that the user can easily set all the source devices, thereby improving the convenience of use.
綜上所述，本發明統一於多媒體系統之終端裝置，提供所有來源裝置支援的功能，供使用者設定，進而提升使用上的方便性。In summary, the present invention is unified in the terminal device of the multimedia system, and provides functions supported by all source devices for the user to set, thereby improving the convenience of use.
