摘要： A viewer viewing audio-visual content on an audio-visual display (12) advantageously can receive information as to potential sources of alternative audio (241-24n) via a set-top box (14). The set-top-box collects metadata identifying the audio-visual content viewed by the viewer and provides that metadata to a database (26) that searches for and identifies to the set-top-box the source(s) of alternative audio-if any. The set-top box will alert the viewer who can then select one of the identified sources of alternative audio in place of the audio embedded in the currently viewed audio-visual content

摘要： A television apparatus having digital serial bus ports allows a user to select a user-designated digital video content source input such as a digital tuner of the television apparatus and digital serial bus compliant components connected to the television apparatus via the digital serial bus ports of the television apparatus, and to cause digital content from the user-designated digital content source device to be recorded onto a digital recording device connected to the television apparatus via the digital serial bus ports. The present invention allows a user to continuously record digital content onto a digital recording device (e.g. an AVHDD), whether from the TV's digital tuner or from another digital serial bus compliant device in a peer to peer arrangement. The connection is always recording, but allows the user to select or designate a digital (i.e. MPEG2) source (i.e. the TV tuner or another digital serial bus compliant device), in addition to displaying the selected content.
摘要翻译：具有数字串行总线端口的电视设备允许用户经由数字串行总线端口的数字串行总线端口选择用户指定的数字视频内容源输入，例如电视设备的数字调谐器和连接到电视设备的数字串行总线兼容部件电视设备，并且使来自用户指定的数字内容源设备的数字内容经由数字串行总线端口被记录到连接到电视设备的数字记录设备上。本发明允许用户连续将数字内容记录到数字记录装置（例如，AVHDD）上，无论是从电视数字调谐器还是与另一数字串行总线兼容装置进行对等排列。连接总是记录，但是除了显示所选择的内容之外，允许用户选择或指定数字（即MPEG2）源（即，TV调谐器或另一数字串行总线兼容设备）。

摘要： A television apparatus is operable to display table of content information from one or more peripheral devices interconnected to the television apparatus via a digital serial bus regardless of whether the television apparatus is currently tuned to the peripheral device. Particularly, table of content information is provided on a per peripheral device basis upon user request. The present invention allows the user to move through tracks of the displayed table of contents and play them, delete them, etc. The user will also be able to cycle through serial bus peripheral devices through the use of an input key on the remote, offering him easy access to multiple tables of contents, and giving the user an easy way to find a desired track. If the user has reached the last serial bus peripheral device in the serial bus list and attempts to input again, the display is wrapped back around to the first serial bus peripheral device. This is useful for allowing the user to start in the middle of the serial bus peripheral device list, as is the case when the user opens the menu when the television apparatus is already using the digital serial bus peripheral device as a current source input.
摘要翻译：电视设备可操作以经由数字串行总线来显示来自与电视设备互连的一个或多个外围设备的内容信息表，而不管电视设备当前是否被调谐到外围设备。特别地，根据用户请求在每个外围设备上提供内容信息表。本发明允许用户通过显示的内容表的轨迹移动并播放它们，删除它们等。用户还可以通过使用遥控器上的输入键来循环串行总线外围设备，提供他可以轻松访问多个内容表，并给用户一个简单的方法来找到所需的轨道。如果用户已经到达串行总线列表中的最后一个串行总线外围设备，并尝试重新输入，则显示器将被包装回第一个串行总线外围设备。这对于允许用户在串行总线外围设备列表的中间开始是有用的，如当用户在电视机已经使用数字串行总线外围设备作为电流源输入时打开菜单的情况。

摘要： An apparatus and a method for selecting one of a plurality of digital video channels and analog video channels in response to user selection, in particular, when operating in a digital recording mode. The user may select the channel using either a channel scan mode, in which the user selection causes the selection of the next channel in a channel sequence, or a direct channel mode, in which the user enters a specific channel number to be selected. When operating in the recording mode, and the apparatus receives a channel selection in the channel scan mode, the apparatus selects the next digital channel in the sequence and skips any intervening analog channels. When the operating in the recording mode, and the apparatus receives a channel selection in the direct channel selection mode, the apparatus selects the channels and terminates the recording mode if the selected channel is an analog channel and maintains the recording mode if the selected channel is a digital channel. The invention also provides a method for controlling the content in the buffer of a storage device as the user scans through major and minor television channels.
摘要翻译：一种用于响应于用户选择而选择多个数字视频频道和模拟视频频道中的一个的装置和方法，具体地，当在数字记录模式下操作时。用户可以使用频道扫描模式来选择频道，其中用户选择导致选择频道序列中的下一个频道，或者使用用户输入要选择的特定频道号码的直接频道模式。当在记录模式下操作时，并且该设备在频道扫描模式中接收频道选择时，该设备选择序列中的下一个数字频道并跳过任何中间模拟频道。当在记录模式下操作，并且设备在直接频道选择模式下接收到频道选择时，如果所选频道是模拟频道，则设备选择频道并终止记录模式，并且如果所选频道是数字频道。本发明还提供了一种用于在用户扫描主要和次要电视频道时控制存储设备的缓冲器中的内容的方法。

摘要： An apparatus (20) such as a television signal receiver controls an external device (40) such as a digital recording/reproduction device via a digital data bus (30) by remapping keys on a user input device (10). According to an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus includes an input/output terminal (13) operative to enable signal transfer between the television signal receiver (20) and an external device (40) via a digital data bus (30). A processor (14) is operative to detect a first command signal of a first control protocol from a user input device (10), and to detect one of first and second modes of the television signal receiver (20). The processor (14) detects the first mode in response to making a connection between the television signal receiver (20) and the external device (40) via the digital data bus (30), and detects the second mode in response to terminating the connection between the television signal receiver (20) and the external device (40) via the digital data bus (30). The processor (14) enables the input/output terminal (13) to output a second command signal of a second control protocol to the external device (40) via the digital data bus (30) responsive to the first command signal if the first mode is detected. The processor (14) enables a function of the television signal receiver (20) responsive to the first command signal without enabling output of the second command signal to the external device (40) if the second mode is detected.
