Abstract
An electronic device may include an interface unit, and a processor for storing information related to a plurality of broadcast channels that can be received through the interface unit, receiving a user input for selecting a channel number, identifying, on the basis of the stored information related to the plurality of broadcast channels, a broadcast standard corresponding to the selected channel number if a broadcast signal of a channel corresponding to the channel number selected according to the user input is not received, processing the frequency band of the broadcast signal corresponding to the selected channel number according to the identified broadcast standard, and controlling so that the stored information related to the plurality of broadcast channels is updated according to a processing result.
Claims15
An electronic device comprising:
- interface circuitry;
- at least one processor;
- memory storing instructions, that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
- store information on a plurality of broadcast channels receivable through the interface circuitry;
- receive a user input for selecting a channel number, identify from the stored information a broadcast signal of the broadcast channel corresponding to the selected channel number, and attempt to detect and receive a broadcast signal of the broadcast channel corresponding to the selected channel number;
- in response to determining, based on the stored information, that the broadcast signal of the broadcast channel corresponding to the selected channel number is not received, identify a broadcast standard corresponding to the selected channel number and process a frequency band of the broadcast signal corresponding to the selected channel number according to the identified broadcast standard;
- and
- control the stored information on the plurality of broadcast channels to be updated based on a result of processing the frequency band of the broadcast signal corresponding to the selected channel number according to the identified broadcast standard.
A method of controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
- storing information on a plurality of broadcast channels;
- receiving a user input for selecting a channel number;
- identify from the stored information a broadcast signal of the broadcast channel corresponding to the selected channel number, and attempt to detect;
- receive a broadcast signal of the broadcast channel corresponding to the selected channel number;
- in response to determining, based on the stored information, that the broadcast signal of the broadcast channel corresponding to the selected channel number is not received, identifying a broadcast standard corresponding to the selected channel number;
- processing a frequency band of the broadcast signal corresponding to the selected channel number based on the identified broadcast standard;
- and
- controlling the stored information on the plurality of broadcast channels to be updated based on a result of the processing the frequency band of the broadcast signal corresponding to the selected channel number according to the identified broadcast standard.
A non-transitory, computer-readable recording medium storing a computer program including a computer-readable code, which when executed causes data processing circuitry to perform a method of controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
- storing information on a plurality of broadcast channels;
- receiving a user input for selecting a channel number;
- identify from the stored information a broadcast signal of the broadcast channel corresponding to the selected channel number, and attempt to detect;
- receive a broadcast signal of the broadcast channel corresponding to the selected channel number;
- in response to determining, based on the stored information, that the broadcast signal of the broadcast channel corresponding to the selected channel number is not received, identifying a broadcast standard corresponding to the selected channel number;
- processing a frequency band of the broadcast signal corresponding to the selected channel number based on the identified broadcast standard;
- and
- controlling the stored information on the plurality of broadcast channels to be updated based on a result of the processing the frequency band of the broadcast signal corresponding to the selected channel number according to the identified broadcast standard.
