Abstract

A control signal is transmitted over an analog or digital telephone connection to the user, where it generates an output signal for blanking-out/signalling of the image sequence. Typically, the control signal consists of an identification number, which is transmitted to the user via the telephone line together with dialing the user. Pref. the telephone connection is of mobile radio type. The output signal may be used to control the operational functions of a video recorder, or may be used for imitation of a VPS signal for such purpose.

Description

Es ist bekannt (PN 94 11 999) Webesequenzen während Fernsehsendungen aus dem laufenden Programm auszublenden.It is known (PN 94 11 999) weaving sequences during television programs from the Hide the current program.

Diese Vorrichtung ermöglicht das automatische Ausblenden von Werbung aus einem laufenden Fernsehprogramm oder einer Videoaufzeichnung durch das manuelle erkennen der Werbesequenzen durch "Personal" per Augenschein. Durch die fortlaufende Beobachtung des Programmes wird vom "Beobachter" manuell per Tastendruck ein elektronisches Steuerungssignal ausgelöst, welches per Funk, vorzugsweise mittels eines Langwellensenders oder aber auch über einen UKW bzw. Fernsehsenders mittels RDS bzw. VPS zum Benutzer übertragen wird.This device enables the automatic hiding of advertisements from a current television program or video recording by manual Recognize the advertising sequences by "personnel" by eye. Through the Continuous observation of the program is carried out manually by the "observer" Pressing a button triggers an electronic control signal which is transmitted by radio, preferably by means of a long-wave transmitter or also via an FM or TV station is transmitted to the user using RDS or VPS.

Nachteilig hierbei sind zum einen die sehr hohen Kosten für den Betrieb eines Rundfunk- bzw. Fernsehsenders, zum anderen sind die Betreiber von Rundfunk und Fernsehsendestationen kaum dazu bereit, zum Umgehen Ihrer eigenen Programmteile ihre Sendeeinrichtungen zur Verfügung zu stellen.One disadvantage here is the very high cost of operating a Radio and television stations, on the other hand, the operators of radio and TV broadcasting stations hardly ready to bypass your own program parts to make their transmission facilities available.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsmäßige Vorrichtung derart auszubilden, daß für die Übertragung der Steuerungssignale eine einfachere und kostengünstigere Variante vorgesehen wird, welche unabhängig der Verfügbarkeit von Fernseh- od. Rundfunksendern anwendbar ist.The invention has for its object a generic device such train that for the transmission of the control signals a simpler and less expensive variant is provided, which is independent of the availability of TV or radio stations is applicable.

Diese Aufgabe ist mit den im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst.This object is with the in the characterizing part of claim 1 specified features solved.

Die erfindungsgemäße Erweiterung sieht die Übertragung der Steuerungssignale vom Beobachter zum Benutzer mittels einer herkömmlichen Telefonleitung und einer bestimmten Identifikationsnummer, eines kurzen Datentelegramms, oder einer eMail, vor.The extension according to the invention provides for the transmission of the control signals from Observer to the user using a conventional telephone line and a certain identification number, a short data telegram, or an email, in front.

Dabei wird über eine analoge oder digitale Telefonleitung eine Identifikationsnummer (Call-ID) übertragen, wie dies im ISDN über den sog. D-Kanal heute schon üblich ist, meist die Telefonnummer der anrufenden Station, welche beim Benutzer ausgewertet wird, und dadurch, je nach empfangener Identifikationsnummer, erkannt werden kann, was von diesem Steuerungssignal ausgehend ausgelöst werden soll. Dies kann z. B. bedeuten, beim Empfang einer definierten Identifikationsnummer, beginnt in diesem Moment auf einem bestimmten Programm ein Werbeblock; analog geschieht dies am Ende der Werbeeinblendung.An identification number is sent via an analog or digital telephone line (Call-ID) transmitted, as is already common in ISDN via the so-called D channel today usually the telephone number of the calling station, which is evaluated by the user and can be recognized, depending on the identification number received, what should be triggered based on this control signal. This can e.g. B. mean, upon receipt of a defined identification number, begins in this Moment an advertising block on a certain program; this happens analogously on End of advertising.

Ausgehend von diesem Ausgangssignal können diverse Peripheriegeräte der Unterhaltungselektronik gesteuert werden, so ist es z. B. möglich bei Beginn einer Werbeeinblendung während einer Fernsehsendung die Aufnahme eines Videorecorders zu unterbrechen.Based on this output signal, various peripheral devices of the Consumer electronics are controlled, so it is e.g. B. possible at the beginning of a Advertising during a television broadcast the recording of a video recorder to interrupt.

Dieses Verfahren kann gleichermaßen für Fernseh- oder Rundfunksendungen eingesetzt werden.This procedure can be used equally for television or radio broadcasts be used.

Auch ist es möglich dieses Steuerungssignal mittels des Internets per eMail an den Benutzer zu übermitteln. Die Identifikationsnummer ist in diesem Fall Inhalt der eMail, oder die Absenderadresse der eMail.It is also possible to send this control signal via email to the Internet Submit users. In this case, the identification number is the content of the email, or the sender address of the email.

Weiterhin besteht die Möglichkeit diese spezielle Identifikationsnummer mittels eines Funkrufempfängers (Pagers) zum Benutzer zu übertragen. There is also the option of using this special identification number To transmit the pager to the user.  

Vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen und Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Advantageous and expedient further developments and refinements of the invention are described in the subclaims.

Mit der Ausführungsform gemäß Schutzanspruch 1 ist es möglich von nahezu jedem Punkt aus, den Benutzer über die Telefonleitung zu erreichen und diesem die Steuerungssignale zu übertragen.With the embodiment according to claim 1, it is possible for almost everyone Point out to reach the user via the telephone line and the user Transfer control signals.

Der Vorteil der Übertragung einer Identifikationsnummer liegt darin, daß keinerlei Telefongebühren entstehen, da keine Verbindung zustande kommt und lediglich die Identifikationsnummer, welche noch vor Beginn der Verbindung übermittelt wird, übertragen wird, dieser Vorgang dauert meist weniger als eine Sekunde, dadurch ist es möglich mit einer Leitung und nur einer geringen Verzögerung mehrere Benutzer kurz nacheinander zu erreichen.The advantage of transferring an identification number is that none Telephone charges arise because there is no connection and only the Identification number, which is transmitted before the connection begins, is transmitted, this process usually takes less than a second, that's why it is possible with one line and only a short delay for several users to achieve successively.
