DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In methods for transmitting and receiving audio data according to the invention, the audio data are superimposed in video blanking intervals of video data to thereby transmit and receive the audio signal, thus the audio and video data can be transmitted over the same cable.

The methods for transmitting and receiving audio data according to the invention will be described below in further details with reference to the drawings, and of course, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the invention but not intended to limit the invention thereto.

A first embodiment of the invention provides a method for transmitting audio data, and FIG. 1 illustrates a flow in which the method is performed.

Operation S101 is to sample and quantize an analog audio signal and to determine audio sampling values corresponding to the audio data to be transmitted.

Particularly in the embodiment of the invention, the analog audio signal output by an audio signal source is sampled in a uniform sampling manner that the analog audio signal is sampled at a uniform interval of time, and the sampling value corresponding to each sampling point is in proportion to the amplitude value of the signal, that is, the audio sampling values corresponding to the audio data to be transmitted are determined in a baseband modulation manner.

Furthermore since the audio signal source outputs the analog audio signal, and a data signal transmitted over a cable is generally a digital signal, analog to digital conversion is performed on the audio data to be transmitted after the audio signal is sampled and quantized.

Operation S102 is to buffer the audio sampling values corresponding to the audio data to be transmitted into a buffer area.

Here in the embodiment of the invention, the audio sampling values corresponding to the audio data to be transmitted are buffered into the buffer area in a First Input First Output (FIFO) method so that the audio data can be subsequently derived without changing the order in which the audio data are arranged, thereby improving the accuracy of transmission.

Preferably in the embodiment of the invention, since the audio data are superimposed in the video blanking intervals of the video data, and the audio data only need to be superimposed in some rows (a row in which the audio data are superimposed will be referred hereinafter to as an active row), the audio data need to be buffered by calculating an audio duration corresponding to the audio data to be superimposed in each active row as follows:t_Au−L=t_F×AL÷TL

Here t_Au−L represents the audio duration corresponding to the audio data to be superimposed in each active row, t_F represents a frame periodicity, AL represents the number of active rows in which the audio data can be superimposed, and TL represents the total number of rows in each frame.

After the audio duration corresponding to the audio data to be superimposed in each active row is calculated as above, the audio sampling values corresponding to the audio data to be transmitted can be stored into the buffer area in the form of audio segments according to the calculated audio duration, and the audio data can be superimposed by superimposing the audio sampling values corresponding to the audio segments directly in the video blanking intervals of the corresponding active rows.

Operation S103 is to detect a color synchronization signal of an analog video signal, and to judge whether the audio sampling values can be superimposed in the current row, and if so, then the flow goes to the operation S104; otherwise, the flow goes to the operation S107.

Here the color synchronization signal is a precondition for transmitting the audio signal and the video signal, that is, the audio sampling values can be superimposed only if there is a color synchronization signal in the current row, so in the embodiment of the invention, it is judged whether the audio sampling values can be superimposed in the current row by detecting whether there is a color synchronization signal.

Operation S104 is to output an audio flag after the color synchronization signal of the analog video signal is detected in predetermined active rows of the audio signal.

Here in the embodiment of the invention, the active rows in which the audio sampling values are superimposed are predetermined according to real conditions, and when the judgment result in the operation S103 is that the audio sampling values can be superimposed in the current row, then whether to superimpose the audio sampling values in the current row in which the audio sampling values can be superimposed, can be decided according to real conditions.

Furthermore when the current row is a predetermined active row in which the audio sampling values can be superimposed, after the color synchronization signal of the analog video signal is detected, an audio flag can be output to characterize the current row as an active row in which the audio sampling values are superimposed.

Preferably in order to enable a receiver to accurately parse for the superimposed audio sampling values, in the embodiment of the invention, after the color synchronization signal of the analog video signal is detected, an audio flag reference level is output to identify the row as an active row in which the audio data are superimposed.

Preferably in order to enable the receiver to well determine from the audio flag reference level whether the current row is an active row, the level value of the output audio flag reference level can be set to a predetermined level value higher than the level value of a blanking level of the analog video signal, and the receiver can determine an active row by comparing the detected audio flag reference level with the blanking level of the analog video signal and determining that the current row is an active row in which the sample values of the audio data are superimposed when the audio flag reference level is higher than the level value of the blanking level.

Operation S105 is to derive the audio sampling values buffered in the buffer area.

Here after the color synchronization signal of the analog video signal is detected, the audio sampling values buffered in the buffer area can be derived, and then the flow goes to the operation S106 where the audio sampling values are being superimposed in video blanking intervals of the analog video signal.

Operation S106 is to superimpose the audio sampling values, corresponding to the audio data, derived from the buffer area, following the audio flag in the video blanking interval of the active row.

Here the audio sampling values are superimposed by determining the level value of the output audio flag reference level as the zero level of the audio sampling values in an superimposed audio carrier and then superimposing the audio sampling values in the video blanking intervals of the analog video signal in accordance with the ratio of the audio sampling values to the value of zero level in the original analog video signal.

Preferably since there may be a phenomenon of tailing for the color synchronization signal, if the derived audio sampling values are superimposed directly, then the transmitted signal may be degraded in quality, so in the embodiment of the invention, a predetermined period of time as a start interval of time for the audio signal can be waited for, and then the audio data to be transmitted are superimposed at predetermined positions of the video blanking intervals of the video data, where a period of time t_Au−D corresponding to the start interval of time of the audio signal needs to be waited for, and the size of the period of time for the start interval of time is determined by a tailing period of time for the color synchronization signal.

Here after the audio data are superimposed at the predetermined positions of the video blanking intervals of the corresponding active rows, the analog video signal on which the audio data are superimposed at the predetermined positions of the video blanking intervals of the video data can be transmitted to the receiver, and FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic diagram of superimposing audio data according to an embodiment of the invention.

FIG. 3 illustrates a timing diagram of transmitting video data on which audio data are superimposed.

As can be apparent from FIG. 3, the first level signal, after the period of time t_Au−D corresponding to the start interval of time of the audio signal after the color synchronization signal h, is the audio flag reference level lasting for a period of time t_Au−M, and the audio flag reference level is followed by an audio carrier sampled signal which can include a plurality of, preferably two, consecutive audio sampling points, as illustrated in FIG. 3 where an audio sampling point lasts for a period of time t_Au, and when there are two audio sampling points, the audio carrier sampled signal lasts for a period of time 2^tAu. If i represents a period of time between the end of the color synchronization signal h and the end of the row blanking interval, then clock cycles and level values of the respective levels above can be depicted in Table 1 and Table 2:

TABLE 1
Symbol	Parameter	Duration
tAu-D	Start interval of time of audio signal	i/4
tAu-M	Duration of audio flag	i/4
tAu	Duration of single sampling point of	i/4

	Symbol	Parameter	Voltage, V
	ΔVAu-REF	Difference between predetermined	0.35

	VAu-M	Audio flag reference level	0.65
	VAu-Sample	Maximum value of audio sampling level	1
		Zero value of audio sampling level	0.65
		Minimum value of audio sampling level	0.3

Further preferably in the embodiment of the invention, the audio data are superimposed in the unit of a frame, and after all the audio data are superimposed for the current active row, the flow goes to the operation S107.

Operation S107 is to judge whether the current frame ends, and if so, then the flow goes to the operation S108; otherwise, the operation S103 to the operation S106 are repeated to derive the audio sampling values corresponding to the audio segments to be superimposed in each active row from the buffer area and to superimpose the audio sampling values at predetermined position of the video blanking interval of the corresponding active row, so as to superimpose the audio data respectively in each active row in the frame until the current frame ends.

Operation S108 is to judge whether all the audio data to be transmitted have been transmitted, and if not, then the operation S101 to the operation S107 are repeated to superimpose the audio data in each active row in the next frame until all the audio data to be transmitted are transmitted; otherwise, the flow ends.

In the embodiment of the invention, the audio sampling values are superimposed in the video blanking intervals of the analog video signal, and the audio data are transmitted together with the video data without any additional cable over which the audio data are transmitted, to thereby lower the connection structural complexity of the analog audio and video transmission system; and moreover in the embodiment of the invention, the analog audio signal output by the audio signal source is sampled in a uniform sampling manner, that is, in the embodiment of the invention, the audio data superimposed in the blanking intervals of the video data are baseband modulated, and the receiver can determine an active row from the level signal upon reception of the transmitted data to thereby simplify deriving and parsing for the audio signal by the receiver.

A second embodiment of the invention provides a method for receiving the audio data transmitted through the method for transmitting audio data according to the first embodiment of the invention, and FIG. 4 illustrates a flow chart of a method for receiving audio data according to an embodiment of the invention.

Operation S201 is to receive an analog video signal including an audio carrier sampled signal.

Here the receiver receives the analog video signal which is the analog video signal on which the audio sampling values are superimposed at predetermined positions of the video blanking intervals of the analog video signal in the method according to the first embodiment of the invention.

Operation S202 is to detect a color synchronization signal of the analog video signal, and the flow goes to the operation S203 after the color synchronization signal of the analog video signal is detected.

Operation S203 is to detect an audio flag reference level.

Preferably since the audio flag reference level is output after a predetermined period of time, after the color synchronization signal is detected and before the audio data are superimposed in the first embodiment of the invention, the receiver can determine the first detected level after a predetermined period of time as the audio flag reference level, upon detection of the color synchronization signal of the analog video signal in the embodiment of the invention.

Operation S204 is to judge whether each row is an active row in which audio sampling values are superimposed.

Here in the embodiment of the invention, an active row can be determined from the detected audio flag reference level, i.e., the first level detected after the period of time corresponding to the start interval of time of the audio signal after the color synchronization signal of the analog video signal is detected.

Here an active row can be determined preferably as follows in the embodiment of the invention:

The detected audio flag reference level is compared with a blanking level of the analog video signal, and if the detected audio flag reference level is higher than the blanking level of the analog video signal, the current row is determined as an active row; otherwise, the current row is determined as an inactive row.

If the current row is determined as an active row in which the audio data are superimposed, then the flow goes to the operation S205; otherwise, the flow goes to the operation S207.

Operation S205 is to derive the audio sampling values from the analog video signal in video blanking intervals.

Here in the embodiment of the invention, when an active row is detected, it indicates that the audio sampling values corresponding to the audio data are superimposed in the current row, so in order to finally output the audio and the video separately, the audio data superimposed on the video data need to be derived in this operation so that the resulting separate audio data and video data are output separately. FIG. 5 illustrates a schematic diagram of a process of deriving audio data according to an embodiment of the invention.

Here after the color synchronization signal of the analog video signal is detected, the audio flag reference level is detected, and when the current row is determined as an active row in which the audio sampling values are superimposed, the audio sampling values are derived from the video blanking interval of the determined active row in accordance with the same ratio of the audio sampling values to the zero level as the transmitter.

Operation S206 is to buffer the derived audio sampling values into a buffer area in a First Input First Output (FIFO) method, and the flow goes to the operation S207.

Operation S207 is to judge whether the current frame ends.

In the embodiment of the invention, the audio data are derived from the video data in the unit of a frame, and when the current frame does not end, the operation S202 to the operation S206 are repeated to judge whether each row in the frame is an active row, to derive the audio data from the video data in each active row in the frame and to buffer the audio data, and then the flow goes to the operation S208.

Operation S208 is to compose a consecutive audio data stream from the audio data buffered in the buffer area and to output an audio signal.

In the method for receiving audio data according to the embodiment of the invention, it is judged whether the current row is an active row in which the audio sampling values are superimposed by judging whether the level signal is high or low, and the audio sampling values are derived from the current active row and then output separately, thus simplifying the process of deriving the audio signal and also outputting both the audio and the video concurrently.
