摘要： A method and apparatus for information labeling and control includes central station equipment which combines a program signal with content labels which separately and continuously identify the audio, video, and data content of the program signal, and user station equipment which generates a local content label identifying program material which is acceptable to the user. By comparing the two labels the user station equipment can block or substitute alternative audio, video, or data for offensive portions of a program signal received through a transmission or stored for playback on various media such as video tapes, audio tapes, CDs, computer disks, optical storage media, and video game cartridges. Exemplary embodiments of the invention also relate to a method and apparatus for creating the local content label.

摘要： A fast Fourier transform (FFT) window position recovery apparatus in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receiver is provided. This apparatus, in an OFDM system receiver which receives an OFDM symbol comprised of a useful data interval and a guard interval and recovers a FFT window position, includes: an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for converting a received OFDM signal into a digital complex sample; a symbol start detector for detecting a power difference between the digital complex samples output by the ADC and detecting a position having a minimum absolute value of the power difference between the samples, as a symbol starting position; and a FFT window controller for activating FFT by moving the FFT window position using symbol start information detected by the symbol start detector. The influence of frequency and phase offsets is reduced by using the power difference between adjacent samples delayed by the useful data interval, thus improving the reliability of a system.

摘要： A reprogrammable subscriber terminal of a subscription television service which can have the control program code of its control processor modified by downloading new program code from the headend. The control processor stores a boot program in an internal read only memory. Upon start up and resets, the boot program determines whether the control program should be changed from a command sent from the headend. The command, termed a parameters transactions, includes the number of expected download program code transactions required to complete the control code modification, the memory space areas where the code is to be loaded, and the channel over which the download program code transactions are to be transmitted. The channel is tuned and when the boot program receives all the download program code transactions accurately and stores them, the boot program will cause the control program to be restarted at a selected address of the new or modified control program code which has been downloaded. The boot program may download code to different configurations of subscriber terminals including those with Flash EPROM or extended memories from plug-in expansion modules.

摘要： A system and method are disclosed for performing digital multi-channel decoding of a BTSC composite audio signal. Each subsequent stage of the digital multi-channel decoding process is performed at the lowest sampling rate that yields acceptable performance for that stage. Analog-to-digital conversion of the composite audio signal is performed first to generate a composite digital audio signal. After analog-to-digital conversion, all signal processing may be performed in the digital domain. The composite digital audio signal is digitally filtered to frequency compensate for variations caused by previous stages of processing, including IF demodulation. Digital channel demodulation and filtering are performed to isolate single channels of the composite digital audio signal such as SAP, LnullR, and LnullR channels. SAP and LnullR channels are DBX decoded resulting in corresponding decoded signals using a unique combination of digital filters that are an efficient translation of a corresponding combination of analog filters. The decoded LnullR channel and the LnullR channel are re-matrixed to form left and right stereo signals. Any of the SAP signal, left and right stereo signals, and LnullR channel signal may be sample rate converted and output at a standard audio output rate.

摘要： An apparatus for generating a broadcast television stereo signal has a left channel and a right channel. An analog-to-digital converter converts the right-channel signal to a right digital signal and the left-channel to a left digital signal. A circuit, which could include a digital signal processing chip, generates a first signal that includes the right digital signal added to the left digital signal and generates a second signal that includes the right digital signal subtracted from the left digital signal. The circuit also generates a digitally pre-emphasized first signal, which includes digital pre-emphasis, and a digitally pre-emphasized second signal, which also includes digital pre-emphasis. The circuit transforms the pre-emphasized first signal to a digital BTSC L+R signal and transforms the pre-emphasized second signal to a digital BTSC L-R signal. A digital-to-analog converter converts the digital BTSC L+R signal to an analog BTSC L+R signal and the digital BTSC L-R signal to an analog BTSC L-+R signal. The analog BTSC L+R and L-R signals are then modulated onto a carrier wave.

摘要： The present invention provides an apparatus that transmits the stereo and the surround sound information of the L-R signal without excessive attenuation at the higher frequencies in order to allow transmission of surround sound through a noisy medium. The apparatus includes a surround sound conditioner coupled to receive a L-R signal portion of the television signal for pre-emphasizing and companding the L-R signal to produce a conditioned L-R signal; a mixer coupled to the surround sound conditioner for switching the conditioned L-R signal at a predetermined value to produce an amplitude modulated L-R signal; and a synchronizing circuitry coupled to the mixer for maintaining the predetermined value in step with the reference value, wherein the mixed L-R signal is combined with a L+R signal portion of the television signal to produce a composite output signal. Furthermore, a method of transmitting stereo and surround sound in accordance with multichannel television sound protocol includes the steps of preconditioning a L-R signal; synchronizing the preconditioned L-R signal to a reference value to produce a synchronized L-R signal; and mixing the synchronized L-R signal with a L+R signal to produce a composite output signal.
