Abstract

Patente de Invenção: <B>"MéTODO E APARELHO PARA DESENHAR O PERFIL DE PREFERêNCIAS DO USUáRIO POR UM OPERADOR DE REDE"<D>. Um sistema de televisão digital interativo configurado para acumular informação sobre padrões de observação por rastrear as transações do espectador e construir preferências do espectador para personalizar o conteúdo do programa. A informação rastreada por estações de recepção individuais (13) é armazenada em uma caixa decodificadora e periodicamente transmitida para uma estação de difusão (12). A informação rastreada pela estação de difusão (12) é acumulada e combinada com a informação recebida a partir das estações de recepção (13). A informação é utilizada para construir preferências do espectador, que por sua vez são utilizadas para filtrar o conteúdo de um sinal de programa antes e/ou depois do sinal ser transmitido a partir da estação de difusão para as estações de recepção a fim de direcionar para espectadores particulares os programas nos quais eles estão mais provavelmente interessados.Invention Patent: <B> "METHOD AND APPARATUS TO DESIGN USER PREFERENCE PROFILE FOR A NETWORK OPERATOR" <D>. An interactive digital television system configured to accumulate information on observation patterns by tracking the viewer's transactions and building viewer's preferences to personalize the program's content. The information tracked by individual receiving stations (13) is stored in a decoder box and periodically transmitted to a broadcasting station (12). The information tracked by the broadcasting station (12) is accumulated and combined with the information received from the receiving stations (13). The information is used to build viewer preferences, which in turn are used to filter the content of a program signal before and / or after the signal is transmitted from the broadcasting station to the receiving stations in order to direct to private viewers the programs they are most likely interested in.
