Receiver control circuit for a television for controlling programs to be supplied for viewing

Claim 2

A receiver control circuit for a television, comprising: main receiving means for receiving broadcast television signals of predetermined channel bands; a first receiving circuit for receiving said broadcast television signals from said predetermined channel bands and for generating driving adjusting signals, wherein said first receiving circuit includes means for activating a key code to ensure reception of said broadcast television signals; a comparing circuit for controlling operation of said first receiving circuit by comparing frequency bands of said broadcast television signals received by said main receiving means with frequency bands of said broadcast television signals received by said first receiving circuit; and driving control means for selecting said comparing circuit based upon said driving adjusting signals received from said first receiving circuit.

Claim 3

The receiver control circuit as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first receiving circuit comprises: at least one receiving means for receiving said broadcast television signals; and at least one input means for adjusting said frequency bands received by said at least one receiving means and for outputting driving adjusting signals to said driving control means.

Claim 4

The receiver control circuit as claimed in claim 1, wherein said comparing circuit comprises: at least one comparing means driven by said driving control means for generating operation control signals by comparing the frequency bands of said broadcast television signals received by said main receiving means and those received by said first receiving circuit; and at least one power source control means for controlling a power source coupled to said receiving circuit according to said operation control signals received from said comparing circuit.

Claim 5

A receiver control circuit for a television, comprising: transmitting means for transmitting television signals, wherein said transmitting means includes means for synthesizing pilot signals with selected modulated video signals and for synthesizing both of these signals together with modulated audio signals to include pilot signals in the television signals which require monitored viewing; a first receiving circuit for receiving said television signals for particular channels; a second receiving circuit including at least one tuner for receiving said television signals for particular channels; driving control means for providing driving signals; a control circuit driven according to the driving signals from said driving control means and for controlling an output of a television signal containing a pilot signal received from said at least one tuner; and synthesizing means for synthesizing the television signals received from said control circuit and for supplying a synthesized signal to said first receiving circuit.

Claim 6

A receiver control circuit for a television, comprising: transmitting means for transmitting television signals, wherein said transmitting means includes means for synthesizing pilot signals with selected modulated video signals and for synthesizing both of these signals together with modulated audio signals to include pilot signals in the television signals which require monitored viewing; a first receiving circuit for receiving said television signals for particular channels; a second receiving circuit including at least one tuner for receiving said television signals for particular channels; driving control means for providing driving signals; a control circuit driven according to the driving signals from said driving control means and for controlling an output of a television signal containing a pilot signal received from said at least one tuner; and synthesizing means for synthesizing the television signals received from said control circuit and for supplying a synthesized signal to said first receiving circuit.

Claim 7

The receiver control circuit as claimed in claim 4, wherein said control circuit comprises: at least one detecting means driven according to the driving signals from said driving control means to provide switching signals based upon detection of pilot signals in said television signals received by said at least one tuner; and at least one switch controlled by the switching signals received from said at least one detecting means to apply said television signals, which are received by said at least one tuner, to said synthesizing means.
