Description
- Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft allgemein ein System und Verfahren, bei dem Fernsehzusatzdaten in eine Fernsehsendung eingebettet sind und die der Zuschauer bei Aufruf speichern kann. Derartige Zusatzdaten können Listeninformation enthalten, wie beispielsweise Zeit, Kanal, Programmname und Programmtyp. Die gespeicherten Daten werden verwendet, um einen VCR für das automatische Aufzeichnen eines zusätzlichen Fernsehprogramms gemäß der Listeninformation zu programmieren.
- Das sich auf Vorstehendes beziehende Patent beschreibt ein System und ein Verfahren, das dem Benutzer die Wahl von Sendungsprogrammen aus einer Listeninformation zum Präsentieren an einem Fernsehgerät und/oder Aufzeichnen durch einen VCR ermöglicht. Der in diesem Patent diskutierte und in seiner Anwendung verzeichnete Stand der Technik zeigt eine Vielzahl von Systemen und Verfahren zum Erhöhen der Funktionalität eines Fernsehgerätes und/oder eines VCR. Während eine Anzahl derartiger Systeme und Verfahren allgemein bekannt sind, siehe beispielsweise die WO-A-8804507 und GB-A-2207314, zeigt keines dieser Systeme und Verfahren einen Weg zur Schaffung einer Zusatzinformation über Material, das einem Zuschauer gesendet worden ist. Ein Beispiel solcher Zusatzinformation, die für gewisse Zuschauer von grundlegendem Interesse wäre, ist weitere Information über ein Produkt, für das während einer regulären Sendung geworben wird. Solche Werbezeit ist sehr teuer, insbesondere während der Hauptsendezeit oder während der Übertragung von Sportereignissen mit sehr großer Zuschauerzahl, so daß die Werbesendung eine typische Länge von 30 sec bis eine Minute haben. Für viele annoncierte Produkte benötigen die Fernsehzuschauer mehr Information, als während der Werbesendungen gegeben werden kann, beispielsweise über Merkmale, Preise und lokale Verfügbarkeit, um eine Entscheidung bezüglich des Erwerbs dieses Produktes fällen zu können. Die Möglichkeit, eine derartige Zusatzinformation selektiv denjenigen Zuschauern zur Verfügung stellen zu können, die es möchten, wäre für Werber und andere Anbieter von Fernsehinformation von wesentlichem Wert.
- Demgemäß ist es eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein System und ein Verfahren zu schaffen, das es dem Zuschauer ermöglicht, interaktiv empfangene Zusatzinformation bezüglich des Materials einer Fernsehsendung wählen zu können.
- Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein derartiges System und Verfahren zu schaffen, das die Zusatzinformation zum Aufzeichnen schafft, wenn Sendezeit billig ist.
- Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein derartiges System und Verfahren zu schaffen, das es dem Zuschauer erlaubt, Zusatzinformation aus einem Menü zu wählen.
- Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine VCR-Listensteuerung zu schaffen, die einen verbesserten Index des auf einem Band aufgezeichneten Materials schafft.
- Die Lösung dieser und zugehöriger Aufgaben kann durch die Verwendung des neuen Systems und Verfahrens gemäß den Ansprüchen 1, 10 und 18 erzielt werden. Ein System und Verfahren für die VCR-Planung gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung hat eine Aufzeichnungsvorrichtung, einen Sendungsempfänger und einen Datenprozessor, der an die Aufzeichnungsvorrichtung und den Sendungsempfänger angeschlossen ist. Der Datenprozessor weist Mittel zur Präsentation eines Hinweiszeichens am Fernsehempfänger während der Sendung auf. An den Datenprozessor sind Mittel zum Empfangen einer Benutzerantwort auf das Hinweiszeichen angeschlossen. Mittel, die auf die Antwort des Benutzers auf das Hinweiszeichen ansprechen, steuern die Aufzeichnungsvorrichtung, um die Zusatzinformation aufzuzeichnen.
- Ein Verfahren zum Präsentieren von Zusatzinformation über eine Sendung gemäß der Erfindung erzeugt ein Hinweiszeichen während einer Sendung, das die Verfügbarkeit von Zusatzinformation bezüglich der Sendung anzeigt. Eine Antwort auf das Hinweiszeichen wird vom Benutzer empfangen. Die Zusatzinformation wird dem Benutzer nach Empfang der Hinweiszeichenantwort vom Benutzer zugeführt. Vorzugsweise wird die Zusatzinformation zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt gesendet. Die Listeninformation für die Zusatzinformation wird mit der Sendung gegeben. Die Listeninformation wird nach der Antwort des Benutzers auf das Hinweiszeichen gespeichert und dazu verwendet, die Zusatzinformation mit einer Aufzeichnungsvorrichtung aufzuzeichnen, wenn die Zusatzinformation gesendet wird.
- Dieser Apparat ermöglicht es, dem Zuschauer die Zusatzinformation selektiv zu liefern, und zwar zu einem Zeitpunkt, der für den Sender günstig und zweckmäßig ist, und vom Zuschauer prompt und zweckmäßig wieder aufgefunden werden kann. Ein Verfahren zum Senden von Zusatzdaten verwendet das Videoaustastintervall- (VBI) -Segment des Videosignals, um die Teletext-formatierten Daten zu tragen. Ein auf einem Teletextempfänger basierender Apparat wird zum Dekodieren der Zusatzdaten verwendet.
- Das Hinweiszeichen kann eine Kopfzeile auf dem Bildschirm, ein Audiosignal oder eine Mitteilung, eine Anzeige am Gerät oder irgendetwas anderes, das den Zuschauer alarmiert, sein. Das Hinweiszeichen kann selektiv durch den Apparat, basierend auf dem Inhalt der empfangenen Zusatzdaten erzeugt werden, oder das Hinweiszeichen kann in dem normalen Fernsehvideobild oder -ton enthalten sein. Der Zuschauer spricht auf das Hinweiszeichen an, indem der eine Taste an der Fernbedienung drückt, einen Schalter am Gerät betätigt, einen lauten Ton erzeugt oder durch irgendein anderes Mittel, das das System aktiviert, um die Zusatzdaten im Speicher zu speichern.
- Wenn der Zuschauer die Daten bei Hinweis erfolgreich speichert, kann das System eine Bestätigung ausgeben. Diese kann eine weitere Kopfzeile, ein Audiosignal oder eine Mitteilung oder irgendetwas anderes zur Information des Zuschauers sein, daß die Antwort auf den Hinweis eingegeben worden ist. Das System wird dann automatisch den VCR auf den geplanten Kanal und die geplante Zeit, die durch die Zusatzdaten definiert sind, abstimmen.
- Das Erreichen des Vorstehenden und der zugehörigen Aufgaben, Vorteile und Merkmale der vorliegenden Erfindung sollte für den Fachmann klarer werden, nachdem er die folgende detaillierte Beschreibung der Erfindung anhand der Figuren zur Kenntnis genommen hat, in welchen zeigt:
- Fig. 1 ein Blockschaltbild eines Systems für VCR-Planung in Übereinstimmung mit der Erfindung;
- Fig. 2 ein Blockschaltbild eines weiteren Systems für VCR- Planung gemäß der Erfindung.
- Es wird nun auf die Figuren, insbesondere auf die Fig. 1 Bezug genommen, in der ein Blockschaltbild einer integrierten VCR-Listensteuerung in Übereinstimmung mit der Erfindung gezeigt ist. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist die Steuerung in einen VCR eingebaut vorgesehen, kann jedoch auch separat zum VCR vorgesehen sein, wie beispielsweise durch Verwendung von Fernbedienung des VCR, um an dem VCR Eingaben zu machen.
- Die Sendungsdaten werden über Antenne 1 oder Kabel 2 durch einen programmierbaren Tuner 3 empfangen, der mit einem Ausgang an den Eingang 14 eines Teletext-Empfängers 4 angeschlossen ist. Der Teletext-Empfänger kann ein Sears Caption Dekoder sein. Der Ausgang des Teletext-Empfängers 4 ist an einen Mikroprozessor 5 angeschlossen. Der Ausgang 11 des Mikroprozessors ist an einen Videoanzeigegenerator 10 angeschlossen, der dazu verwendet wird, Text für den Fernsehempfänger 60 zu erzeugen. Der Videoschalter 15 verbindet den Ausgang 17 des Anzeigegenerators 10 mit dem TV-Empfänger 60, um eine Mitteilung vom Mikroprozessor 5 anzuzeigen.
- Der Mikroprozessor 5 hat einen Direktzugriffsspeicher 9 und einen Systemtakt/Kalender 6. Nach der Bearbeitung der eingebetteten Daten erzeugt der Mikroprozessor 5 einen Hinweis durch Ausgeben eines Symbols cder einer Mitteilung an den Anzeigegenerator 10 zur Anzeige am TV-Bmpfänger 60. Der Fernbedienungssteuerungsempfänger 20 empfängt einen Befehl von einer Fernbedienungssteuerung 22 von einer Zuschauereingabe in Abhängigkeit vom Hinweiszeichen. Der Fernbedienungssteuerungsempfänger 20 ist an eine Eingangsleitung 21 angeschlossen und liefert mit einem Steuersignal, um zu bewirken, daß der Mikroprozessor die eingebetteten Daten in einem Speicher 9 speichert. Der Mikroprozessor gibt dann eine Mitteilung an den Anzeigegenerator 10 als Bestätigung der Eingabe des Zuschauers aus.
- Der Hinweis kann auf viele Arten anders als durch den Mikroprozessor 5 implementiert sein. Die einfachste ist ein Audio- oder visueller Reiz, der Teil des Ton- oder Video- Teils der Sendung ist. In diesem Fall sind sowohl der Anzeigegenerator 10 als auch der Videoschalter 15 unnötig. Das Vorsehen des Hinweises separat zum Ton- oder Videoteil der Sendung wie dies bei dem VBI der Fall ist, der dann dem Ton- oder Video-Teil des Signais, welches dem TV-Empfänger 60 durch den Mikroprozessor zugeführt wird, addiert ist, ist für Zuschauer ohne das System gemäß der Erfindung nicht störend.
- Der Mikroprozessor 5 überwacht den Systemtakt 6 und vergleicht ihn mit den aus den eingegebetteten Zusatzdaten erhaltenen, gespeicherten Listen. Wenn die Systemzeit einem der aufgelisteten Zeitpunkte entspricht, stellt der Mikroprozessor 5 den programmierbaren Tuner 3 auf den gespeicherten Kanal ein und löst das Aufzeichnen auf VCR 30 durch ein Steuersignal auf der Leitung 32 aus. Der VCR empfängt sein Signal über die Antenne 35 oder Kabel 36.
- Um zusätzlich Listeninformation als Teil einer Sendung zu erhalten, kann in einem System 90, wie in der Fig. 2 gezeigt, die Listeninformation durch einen Computer 5 unter Verwendung eines Modems 94 empfangen und durch den Computer 5 verarbeitet werden. Basierend auf der Wahl des Benutzers werden eine oder mehrere Programmauflistungen im Computerspeicher gespeichert. Zum Zeitpunkt der Sendung aktiviert der Computer 5 einen VCR 30 zum Aufzeichnen der gewählten Programme. Der serielle Ausgangsanschluß 32 des Computers 5 ist an einen Steuerbus des VCR 30 angeschlossen, um den VCR einzuschalten, die Kanalwahl zu steuern und das Aufzeichnen des Programms zu ermöglichen.
- Das System 90 hat ein Merkmal zum automatischen Umwandeln der Fernsehführungsstationauflistungen in Kanalwahlen für Kabelbenutzer eingebaut. Um die Notwendigkeit, jedesmal dann, wenn der VCR 30 für Aufzeichnen ohne Bedienung programmiert ist Stationsauflistungen in lokale Kanalnummern umzuwandeln, zu beseitigen, ist ein Speicher vorgesehen, so daß der Benutzer die Umwandlung nur einmal eingeben muß. Danach wird die Umwandlung vom Computer 5 gehandhabt. Eine Eingabetabelle ist auf dem Bildschirm vorgesehen und fordert den Benutzer auf, eine Kabelkanalnummer entsprechend jedem Stationsnamen oder jeder Stationsnummer einzugeben. Alternativ können sowohl der Stationsname als auch die Stationsnummer und die Kabelnummer aus einem Strichcode-Umwandlungsführer unter Verwendung eines Strichcode-Lesegerätes gelesen werden. Bei jedem Verfahren werden die Umwandlungdaten im Speicher in einer Tabelle gespeichert. Während dem Aufzeichnen ohne Bedienung wird die Kanalnummer entsprechend dem Stationsnamen vom Computer 5 verwendet, um die Kanalwahl am VCR 30 zu steuern. Mit einer solchen lokal im System 90 gespeicherten Umwandlung kann Kabellisteninformation unter Kabelkanalnamen (beispielsweise ESPN) auf einer regionalen oder nationalen Basis zugeführt werden und die Wahl der geeigneten lokalen Kanalnummer für diesen Kabelservice wird durch die Steuerung 90 durchgeführt.
- Das System 90 verwendet eine elektronische Indizierung für das automatische Wiederauffinden von Programmen. Während dem Aufzeichnen wird die Anordnung des Programms durch einen Kopfzeilenzähler mit digitalem Herauslesen identifiziert. Diese Indexinformation identifiziert, wo ein aufzuzeichnendes Programm in einem Protokoll zusammen mit dem Namen des Programms zu speichern ist. Während des Abspielens wird der VCR 30 automatisch zum indizierten Ort gehen und das Abspielen starten.
- Die Leitung 101 vom VCR 30 ist ein serieller Bus, der die Indexdaten enthält. Er ist mit einem seriellen Eingangsanschluß des Computers 5 verbunden. Die Suche erfolgt durch Vergleichen des gegenwärtigen Indexwertes mit dem gespeicherten Indexwert. Die Suche ist beendet, wenn der Indexwert vom VCR 30 mit dem gespeicherten Indexwert übereinstimmt.
- Das System 90 schafft auch seibstindizierte Kassettenaufzeichnungen. Am Start jedes Kassettenbandes ist zusammen mit den Programmnamen eine komplette Beschreibung der Start- und Endpositionen jedes auf der Kassette aufgezeichneten Programms gespeichert. Während des Abspielens wird diese Information durch den Teletext-Dekoder des VCR 30 gelesen und auf dem Bildschirm präsentiert, wodurch es dem Benutzer möglich wird, schnell zu identifizieren, was aufgezeichnet ist und auf das gewünschte Programm automatisch zuzugreifen. Der Zugriff erfolgt durch die Namenswahl vom Protokoll.
- Während des Aufzeichnens wird ein komplettes Protokoll für jedes Band erzeugt, wie dies vorstehend beschrieben ist. Bevor das Band aus dem VCR 30 entfernt wird, wird das Band zum Start zurückgewickelt und die Protokollinformation wird auf den Videoaustastintervall-(VBI)-Spuren des Bandes unter Verwendung eines VBI-Datencodierers 110 von dem Typ, wie er in dem vorstehend genannten veröffentichten Patent beschrieben ist, aufgezeichnet. Die Leitung 102 ist ein serieller Ausgang vom Computer 5 an den VBI-Codierer 110 und die Leitung 103 ist das Videosignal mit der eingebetteten Protokollinformation, das an den Videoeingangsanschluß des VCR 30 angeschlossen ist. Während die Protokollinformation aufgezeichnet wird, empfängt der VCR 30 seine Signale von dem Antenneneingang 35 am Videoeingang.
- Während des Abspielens empfängt ein VBI-Teletext-Dekoder 108 Daten vom VCR über die Leitung 107, die der Videoausgangsanschluß des VCR 30 ist. Nach dem Dekodieren werden die Daten über die Leitung 106 vom Computer 5 an einem zweiten Eingangsanschluß empfangen. Außer wie gezeigt und beschrieben ist die Konstruktion und Funktionsweise der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 2 der Erfindung die gleiche wie die der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1.
- Weitere Details bei der Implementierung von Systemen gemäß dieser Erfindung sind dem vorstehend genannten veröffentlichten Patent zu entnehmen (US-4706121)
- Für den Fachmann ist nun ersichtlich, daß ein neues VCR-Listensystem und -Verfahren, das die genannten Aufgaben der Erfindung lösen kann, geschaffen worden ist. Das System und das Verfahren erlauben einem Zuschauer eine interaktive Wahl von weiterer Information, die auf die gesendete Information bezogen ist, welche durch eine Menüwahl erfolgen kann. Die weitere Information kann zum Aufzeichnen durch einen Zuschauer zu einer anderen Zeit gesendet werden, wenn die Sendezeit weniger teuer und/oder unterbelegt ist.
- Für den Fachmann sollte weiterhin ersichtlich sein, daß zahlreiche Veränderungen bezüglich der Form und Details der Erfindung, wie sie gezeigt und beschrieben ist, innerhalb des Schutzumfanges der Patentansprüche denkbar sind.
