Device and method for limiting TV-set watch time

Abstract

The apparatus thereof comprises: real time clock; memory; MCU; and remote controller. The remote controller has a real-time clock and 24 hours turnover tag, and can also has a time limiting key; the TV menu comprises: a normal / time limiting optional item for setting TV in normal mode or in time limiting mode, and a password is used to control the switch from time limiting mode to the normal mode. When TV opens, the MCU compares the real time clock of TV with the real time clock of the remote controller to correct the real time clock parameter of TV and to read out its time limiting information; according to the time limiting information, controlling the display of TV program. By the invention, the parent can set a longest TV watching time in one day for their children.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a TV control playback device and method, in particular to a TV playback time control device and method. The device realizes the purpose of watching TV reasonably and preventing children from using it too much by controlling the limited time. Background technique [0002] The development of TV technology and the diversification of TV program content have indeed brought more entertainment and enjoyment to consumers, from radio equipment that can only listen to sound to TV equipment that can enjoy images and sounds at the same time, from black and white image TV sets From analog TV to digital TV, each technological advancement has brought substantial benefits to consumers. Similarly, the diversification of TV program content brings more information to consumers and uses They get more recreation and pleasure. However, these advances have also brought some annoying problems. As TV programs become more and more diverse and attract...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Parents generally believe that children should be restricted in watching TV. On the one hand, children can learn a lot of knowledge from TV, so children need to have a certain amount of time to watch TV every day. On the other hand, they should not watch TV too long. Too long time can easily damage children's eyesight and take up the time they should have used for studying or other activities. However, children have poor self-control ability, and it is difficult to consciously act according to their parents' regulations during winter and summer vacations or when their parents are not around. The time of watching TV exceeds the time stipulated by the parents. In this way, it becomes a problem to be solved to design corresponding technical solutions so that the time of children watching TV can be controlled by parents (even when the parents are not at home).

[0004] There are also multiple solutions in the prior art to solve the problem of controlling the time for children to watch TV, but most of these technical solutions have unsatisfactory places. For example, most of the technical solutions use hardware in the power cord of the TV Before setting a "lock" to control the power of the TV, the problem with this method is that the cost increases more, especially when there are multiple TVs in a family. Another problem is that children can disconnect the TV from the TV by themselves. Control the connection between the "lock" and directly plug the TV into the power jack. For this reason, some inventions use various mechanical devices to fix the connection between the TV and the control "lock", such as using one-way screws Fixing, non-removable slots, and mechanical locks to secure the TV plug and control "lock" have obvious disadvantages

[0005] There is also an unresolved problem in the prior art that every time the parents give children the time limit for watching TV, the time limit needs to be reset by the parents. If software control is adopted, the set time limit will be automatically set every week or every day. To refresh once, you need to use an external power supply or a built-in battery to maintain the real-time display and monitor the calendar, so that the time limit will be refreshed at the critical point of the set refresh cycle. It is not an economical solution
