CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0001831, filed on Jan. 7, 2014 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

Field

Apparatuses and methods consistent with exemplary embodiments relate to an audio/video (AV) device and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to an AV device, which outputs a video signal and an audio signal, and a control method thereof.

Description of the Related Art

An A/V device, such as a home theater system, an AV receiver, etc., receives a video signal and an audio signal from a source device, processes the received video and audio signals, and outputs the processed video signal to a display device and the audio signal to a sound output device. The display device receives and processes the output video signal and displays the process video signal as an image. The sound output device outputs a sound based on the audio signal.

However, the video signal is processed in the display device, and the audio signal is separately processed in the AV device and output to the sound output device. Therefore, synchronization is very important between the video signal and the audio signal. If time taken to process and output the audio signal in the AV device is longer than time taken to process the video signal in the display device, the image displayed on the display device is not synchronized with the sound output from the sound output device and displayed later than the sound.

To solve such asynchronism and a delay between the image and the sound, a compensation process for the delay may be applied to the AV device, the display device, etc. For example, a user may manually set the delay while viewing and listening to the image and the sound, to such an extent that the image and the sound are synchronized with each other based on the user's own determination. In this case, the extent of the compensation for the delay depends on a user's subjective determination, and it is thus difficult to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of the compensation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

Below, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail. FIG. 1 illustrates an audio/video (AV) device according to an exemplary embodiment. The AV device 11 according to an exemplary embodiment may be achieved by a home theater system, an AV receiver, or the like device. The AV device 11 processes a video signal and an audio signal, and outputs the processed video signal to a display device 12 and the processed audio signal to a sound output device 13. The display device 12 may be, as a non-limiting example, a television (TV) or the like, and the sound output device 13 may, as a non-limiting example, by a loudspeaker system. The AV device 11 may receive the video signal and the audio signal from a source device 14. The source device 14 may be, as non-limiting examples, a digital versatile disc (DVD) player, a Blu-ray disc (BD) player, a personal computer (PC), a smart phone, a smart pad, a game console, etc. The source device 14 can transmit the video signal and the audio signal of multimedia contents (hereinafter, also referred to as a ‘content’) to the AV device 11. The display device 12 receives and processes the video signal from the AV device 11 and displays it as an image. The sound output device 13 receives the audio signal from the AV device 11 and outputs sound based on the audio signal.

The display device 12 may perform image processing, e.g., image-quality enhancement with regard to the video signal received from the AV device 11. The AV device 11 compensates for a delay that may occur due to the image processing with regard to the video signal of the display device 12. The AV device 11 determines a processing delay time due to the image processing of the display device 12, and delays the audio signal output to the sound output device 13, in comparison to the video signal output to the display device 12, based on the determined processing delay time, thereby outputting the delayed audio signal. Through the delay compensation in the AV device 11, the image displayed on the display device 12 and the sound output from the sound output device 13 can be synchronized with each other.

Specifically, the AV device 11 transmits a first signal to the display device 12, and receives a feedback signal of the first audio signal from the display device 12, thereby determining the processing delay time due to the image processing of the display device 12 based on the received feedback signal. The first signal may include an audio signal (hereinafter, also referred to as a ‘first audio signal’) for determining the delay, together with a video signal, and the feedback signal may be a feedback signal of the first audio signal. Thus, the AV device 11 according to an exemplary embodiment employs the first audio signal and its feedback signal to determine the processing delay time, thereby performing the delay compensation with accuracy and reliability higher than those of the delay compensation based on a user's subjective determination. Also, the AV device 11 according to an exemplary embodiment determines the processing delay time in real time whenever contents are reproduced, thereby effectively compensating the delay even when a delayed degree is varied depending on the types of contents to be reproduced, resolution, characteristics of the display device 12, etc.

Also, the delay compensation of the AV device 11 according to an exemplary embodiment can be performed independently of the characteristic of the display device 12, and thus may be more universally compatible with various display devices 12 manufactured by various manufacturers than if getting information about the processing delay time determined by the display device 12 from the display device 12.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the AV device 11 according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the AV device 11 may include a first signal transmitter 22, i.e., a first signal output, a first signal receiver 24, a signal processor 26, a second signal transmitter 27, i.e., a second signal output, and a controller 23. The AV device 11 may further include a second signal receiver 21 to receive the video signal and the audio signal from the source device 14. The first signal transmitter 22 outputs the video signal and the first audio signal to the display device 12. The first signal transmitter 22 outputs the video signal received from the second signal receiver 21 to the display device 12. The first signal transmitter 22 outputs the first audio signal obtained from the audio signal received from the second signal receiver 21 to the display device 12. The first audio signal is synchronized with the video signal output together.

The first signal receiver 24 receives the feedback signal of the first audio signal from the display device 12. The feedback signal received in the first signal receiver 24 refers to a signal obtained by making the first audio signal output to the display device 12 pass through the display device 12. The first signal receiver 24 may receive the feedback signal of the first audio signal in accordance with standards of Sony/Philips Digital Interface (S/PDIF), as a non-limiting example. The S/PDIF standard is one of the standards for the digital terminal, and makes it possible to transmit sound data of multi-channels through one cable.

The signal processor 26 processes the video signal or the audio signal. Specifically, the signal processor 26 performs sound processing with regard to the audio signal received from the source device 14. The sound processing may for example include sound-quality enhancement processing, equalizing processing, sound effect processing, etc. Also, the signal processor 26 may perform image processing with regard to the video signal.

The second signal transmitter 27 outputs the audio signal received from the source device 14 to the sound output device 13. Specifically, the second signal transmitter 27 may output an audio signal, which is acquired by compensating for the delay under control of the controller 23 (hereinafter, also referred to as a ‘second audio signal’), to the sound output device 13. According to another exemplary embodiment, the AV device 11 may not include the second signal transmitter 27, or may further include a loudspeaker for outputting sound based on the delay-compensated second audio signal, together with the second signal transmitter 27.

The controller 23 compares the first audio signal output to the display device 12 with the feedback signal received from the display device 12 to determine the processing delay time of the display device 12, and controls the second audio signal to be output as being delayed, in comparison to the video signal, based on the determined processing delay time. The controller 23 may include a control program for performing the foregoing control. The controller 23 may include a control program for performing such control, nonvolatile and volatile memories for storing the entire or a part of the control program, and a microprocessor for executing the control program.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing operations of the AV device 11 according to an exemplary embodiment. First, at operation S31, the AV device 11 outputs the video signal and the first audio signal to the display device 12. Next, at operation S32, the AV device 11 receives the feedback signal of the first audio signal from the display device 12. Next, at operation S33, the AV device 11 compares the first audio signal output to the display device 12 with the feedback signal received from the display device 12 and therefore determines the processing delay time of the display device 12. Next, at operation S34, the AV device 11 outputs the second audio signal delayed, in comparison to the video signal, based on the determined processing delay time.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a display device 12 according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the display device 12 may include a signal receiver 41, a video signal processor 44, a display 42, an audio signal processor 46, a signal transmitter 43, i.e., a signal output, and a controller 45. The signal receiver 41 may receive the video signal and the first audio signal from the AV device 11.

The video signal processor 44 performs the image processing with regard to the video signal received by the signal receiver 41. The image processing performed in the video signal processor 44 may, for example, include modulation, demodulation, multiplexing, demultiplexing, analog-to-digital conversion, digital-to-analog conversion, decoding, encoding, scaling, etc. The video signal processor 44 performs the image processing for frames included in the video signal. The video signal processor 44 may further include a frame buffer 441 that stores the frames of the video signal. The video signal processor 44 temporarily stores the respective frames in receiving order in the frame buffer 441 and sequentially applies predetermined image processing with regard to the respective frames in such a manner that, if the image processing is completed with regard to the stored frame, the image processing is performed with regard to the next frame. In this case, it may take more time to process the video signal than time to process the first audio signal.

The display 42 displays an image based on the video signal processed by the video signal processor 44. The display 42 may display the image by various types such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display panel (PDP), an organic light emitting diode (OLED), etc. The audio signal processor 46 performs the sound processing with regard to the first audio signal received by the signal receiver 41. The signal transmitter 43 transmits the feedback signal of the first audio signal processed by the audio signal processor 46 to the AV device 11. The signal transmitter 43 may transmit the feedback signal of the first audio signal to the AV device in accordance with various standards, such as, as a non-limiting example, Sony/Philips Digital Interface (S/PDIF).

The controller 45 controls the feedback signal of the first audio signal output through the signal transmitter 43 to be output as being synchronized with the video signal processed by the video signal processor 44. For example, the controller 45 may delay the feedback signal of the first audio signal to be synchronized with the video signal in accordance with the time taken to perform the image processing of the video signal in the video signal processor 44. Specifically, the controller 45 may synchronize and match the frame of the video signal with a corresponding sound portion of the first audio signal. The controller 45 may use predetermined index information included in the video signal and first audio signal to synchronize the frame with its corresponding sound portion of the first audio signal.

FIG. 5 illustrates operations between the AV device and the display device 12 according to an exemplary embodiment. First, at operation S51, the AV device 11 transmits the video signal and the first audio signal to the display device 12. Next, at operation S52, the display device 12 applies the image processing to the video signal to display an image based on the video signal, and processes the first audio signal to be synchronized with the video signal. Next, at operation S53, the display device 12 transmits the feedback signal of the synchronized first audio signal to the AV device 11. Next, at operation S54, the AV device 11 determines the processing delay time of the display device 12, based on the first audio signal output from the display device 12 and the feedback signal of the first audio signal received from the display device 12. Next, the AV device 11 transmits the video signal to the display device 12 at operation S55, and transmits the second audio signal, which is obtained by compensating for the delay based on the determined processing delay time, to the sound output device 13 at operation S56.

FIG. 6 illustrates an example of the AV device 11 compensating for a delay according to an exemplary embodiment. In this exemplary embodiment, a processing delay time Δt1 refers to time taken by the AV device 11 to output the first audio signal to the display device 12 and receive the feedback signal of the first audio signal from the display device 12. That is, the processing delay time Δt1 corresponds to time taken by the display device 12 to perform the image processing with regard to the video signal. The processing delay time Δt1 may be determined by measuring a difference in time between a certain point of the first audio signal output from the AV device 11 to the display device 12 and a corresponding point of the feedback signal of the first audio signal received from the display device 12 by the AV device 11. The processing delay time Δt1 may vary depending on the content type, resolution of an image based on the video signal, the kinds or methods of the image processing, the characteristics or performance of the display devices 12, etc. For example, the processing delay time Δt1 may range from several tens to hundreds of milliseconds (msec). If the processing delay time Δt1 is determined, the AV device 11 outputs the second audio signal, which is obtained by compensating for the delay based on the processing delay time Δt1, to the sound output device 13. For example, if the processing delay time Δt1 is 100 msec, the AV device 11 outputs the second audio signal to the sound output device 13 delayed by as much as 100 msec in comparison to the video signal output to the display device 12.

According to an additional exemplary embodiment, the AV device 11 may apply sound processing to the second audio signal. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, a processing delay time Δt2 may be taken in the sound processing of the second audio signal. The AV device 11 may perform delay compensation ΔT with regard to the second audio signal by subtracting the processing delay time Δt2 of the second audio signal from the processing delay time Δt1 of the display device 121. For example, if the processing delay time Δt1 is 100 msec and the processing delay time Δt2 is 10 msec, the AV device 11 outputs the second audio signal to the sound output device 13 delayed by as much as 90 msec in comparison to the video signal output to the display device 12.

The AV device 11 may pattern the first audio signal to be output to the display device 12, thereby more effectively performing the comparison between the first audio signal and the feedback signal. That is, the first audio signal output from the AV device 11 to the display device 12 may include at least one discrimination section for discriminating a certain point of the first audio signal. The discrimination section may have a periodic pattern. The AV device 11 may determine the processing delay time based on difference in phase between the first audio signal and its feedback signal with respect to the discrimination section. FIG. 7 illustrates waveforms of the first audio signal output from the AV device 11 according to an exemplary embodiment and its feedback signal. As shown in FIG. 7, the AV device 11 may output a first audio signal 71 having the discrimination section M to the display device 12. Signs L and R indicate left sound and right sound of the stereo-type first audio signal 71, respectively. The discrimination section M of the first audio signal 71 may refer to a section from which sound is eliminated. The AV device 11 may generate the first audio signal 71 having the discrimination section M by eliminating the sound from the audio signal received from the source device 14 in a predetermined period. Although only sound channels, L and R, are illustrated, this is merely an example and exemplary embodiments may use a single channel or three or more sound channels.

As shown in FIG. 7, the AV device 11 may receive a feedback signal 72 of the first audio signal 71 from the display device 12. Likewise, the feedback signal 72 of the first audio signal 71 has the discrimination section M like the first audio signal 71. The AV device 11 can determine the processing delay time Δt1 of the display device 12 by measuring difference in phase between a certain discrimination section M of the first audio signal 71 and the corresponding discrimination section M in the feedback signal 72 of the first audio signal 71. While measuring the difference in phase between the first audio signal 71 and the feedback signal 72, certain corresponding points may be selected within the discrimination sections M of both signals. For example, a starting point, an ending point and a middle point, etc. of the discrimination section M may be used as the certain corresponding point.

Thus, in the AV device 11 according to an exemplary embodiment, the discrimination section M is used to compare the first audio signal 71 with its feedback signal 72, thereby more effectively measuring the difference in phase between the first audio signal 71 and its feedback signal 72. Also, the discrimination section M may be periodically provided, so that the difference in phase between the first audio signal 71 and its feedback signal 72 can be measured with higher reliability even though the characteristics of the display device 12 causes the feedback signal 72 to have an irregular output pattern.

According to another exemplary embodiment, the AV device 11 may measure the difference in phase between the first audio signal 71 and its feedback signal 72 multiple times, and employ an average value of the values obtained by measuring the difference multiple times, thereby improving the reliability of the measurement. Also, as the difference in phase between the first audio signal 71 and its feedback signal 72 is measured multiple times, it is possible to more clearly discriminate between a section where the sound is not originally presented and a section from which the sound is eliminated.

The AV device 11 outputs the first audio signal to the display device 12 when an audio change occurs, and receives its feedback signal to thereby determine the processing delay time. For example, when a user requests for reproduction of contents, the AV device 11 determines that the audio change occurs. Referring back to FIG. 2, the AV device 11 may further include a user input receiver 25 to receive a user's input. The AV device 11 may receive a request for reproducing contents from a user through the user input receiver 25. According to another exemplary embodiment, the AV device 11 may determine that audio change occurs when there is a change in the video signal or audio signal received from the source device 14. For example, if a user's request for reproducing contents is input in the source device 14, the corresponding video signal or audio signal is also changed. Thus, the AV device 11 detects this change and determines that the audio change occurs. Thus, the AV device 11 determines the processing delay time in real time when an audio change occurs, and performs the delay compensation for the audio signal, thereby improving a user' convenience.

In addition, the AV device 11 may determine a processing delay in response to a user's request to perform the delay compensation. The request may be received through the user input 25.

As described above, according to an exemplary embodiment, the delay compensation is performed with higher accuracy and reliability when the video signal and the audio signal are output.

Also, according to an exemplary embodiment, the delay is effectively compensated even though it is varied depending on types of contents to be reproduced, resolution, and characteristics of devices, when the video signal and the audio signal are output.

Also, an apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment, one or more of the components may be provided as software, hardware, or a combination of software and hardware. The software components may be executed on a general processor or a specialized processor.

Also, a non-transitory computer readable medium may have stored thereon instructions for executing a method according to an exemplary embodiment.

Although a few exemplary embodiments have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these exemplary embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the inventive concept. Therefore, the foregoing has to be considered as illustrative only. The scope of the invention is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents. Accordingly, all suitable modification and equivalents may fall within the scope of the invention.
