Abstract

The transmission system allows additional digital information for teleshopping or telebanking services to be transmitted to customers together with a radio service. The digital information for the teleshopping or telebanking services is provided at a studio, with structured combining of the information for a number of services in dependence on logical and physical criteria, before transmission to the customers. The received information is temporarily stored upon reception after initial filtering for extracting the required service information, for subsequent customer selection.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur digitalen Informationsdienstleistung der im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 näher definierten Art, wie es beispielsweise für "teleshopping" und "telebanking" allgemein bekannt ist.The invention relates to a method for digital information service of the type defined in more detail in the preamble of claim 1, as is well known, for example, for "teleshopping" and "telebanking".

Unter Informationsdienstleistung ist jede Art von Dienstleistung zu verstehen, für deren Zustandekommen bzw. Durchführung ein erfaßbarer Informationsaustausch zwischen Anbietern (nachfolgend als Auftraggeber bezeichnet) und den Kunden wesentlich ist.The term "information service" is understood to mean any type of service for the creation or implementation of which a material exchange of information between providers (hereinafter referred to as client) and the customer is essential.

Die Übertragung, die unter Rundfunk zu verstehen ist, kann drahtlos bzw. über bestehende Kommunikationsnetze, wie z.B. Kabel erfolgen, ohne definierte Verbindungen zu bestimmten Kunden herzustellen. Digitale Zusatzinformationen sind als zusätzliche Modulation von Haupt- bzw. Hilfsträgern neben der Modulation mit dem eigentlichen Rundfunkprogramm bekannt. Sie werden für spezielle Informationen, z.B. über die Verkehrssituation, genutzt.The transmission to be understood by broadcasting may be wirelessly transmitted over existing communication networks, such as e.g. Cables are made without establishing defined connections to specific customers. Digital additional information is known as additional modulation of main or auxiliary carriers in addition to the modulation with the actual broadcast program. They are used for special information, e.g. about the traffic situation, used.

Andere spezielle Informationen werden bei "teleshopping" und "telebanking" übertragen, wie z.B. in "Das Telekom-Buch" '93/94, wo Tele Cash, S. 116 und Tele Banking, S. 56 + 212 beschrieben sind.Other special information is transmitted in "teleshopping" and "telebanking", e.g. in "The Telecom Book" '93 / 94, where Tele Cash, p. 116 and Tele Banking, pp. 56 + 212 are described.

Die WO 91/06912 A1 offenbart die Übertragung von Fernsehsignalen mit zusätzlichen digitalen Datensignalen, die im Empfangssystem gespeichert und später vom Benutzer abgerufen und an einem Bildschirm angezeigt werden können. Welche Daten gespeichert oder angezeigt werden, wird vom Benutzer mittels einer Fernbedienung bestimmt.The WO 91/06912 A1 discloses the transmission of television signals with additional digital data signals which may be stored in the receiving system and later retrieved by the user and displayed on a screen. The data stored or displayed is determined by the user using a remote control.

Die US 4,616,263 offenbart ein Bildschirmtextübertragungssystem (BTX), das ein Kabelfemsehnetz benutzt.The US 4,616,263 discloses a videotex transmission system (BTX) using a cable television network.

Die DE 43 22 288 A1 offenbart ein Verfahren zur Auswertung von Verkehrsmeldungen über eine Verkehrsmeldungenselektiereinrichtung. Die in der DE 43 22 288 A1 beschriebene Selektion von Verkehrsmitteilungen wird dort ausdrücklich auf Fahrtrouten bezogen. Bei dem in der DE 43 22 288 A1 offenbarten Verfahren erfolgt keine Zuordnung von Positionsdaten zu ziffernmäßig - und damit ohne Ortsbezug - klassifizierten Streckenabschnitten. Auch das in der DE 43 22 288 A1 näher beschriebene Routingprogramm beinhaltet diese Möglichkeit nicht. Ein solches Programm bildet lediglich das Streckenabschnittsnetz im Sinne eines Vektordiagramms ab und enthält somit keinen geographischen Bezug, der eine Zuordnung zu Positionsdaten erlauben würde.The DE 43 22 288 A1 discloses a method for the evaluation of traffic reports via a traffic message selection device. The in the DE 43 22 288 A1 described selection of traffic messages is there expressly related to routes. In the in the DE 43 22 288 A1 In the disclosed method, there is no assignment of position data to numerically-and thus without location reference-classified route sections. Also in the DE 43 22 288 A1 The described routing program does not include this option. Such a program merely depicts the link network in the sense of a vector diagram and thus does not contain any geographical reference that would permit an assignment to position data.

Die DE 44 21 508 A1 offenbart ein Notrufsystem, bei dem die Position eines Mobiltelefons mittels eines verbundenen GPS-Empfängers übertragen werden kann.The DE 44 21 508 A1 discloses an emergency call system in which the position of a mobile phone can be transmitted by means of a connected GPS receiver.

In den Specifications of the radio data system RDS for VHF/FM sound broadcasting, Tech. 3244-E, European Broadcasting Union, March 1984, ist ein RDS-System beschrieben, in dem digitale Zusatzinformationen über Rundfunkdienste an Kunden geleitet werden, die auf der Empfängerseite zur entsprechenden Weiterverarbeitung der Daten detektiert werden. Es ist nicht in der Lage, mehrere Auftraggeber zu realisieren und die Zusatzinformationen auf der Seite des Empfängers nach verbrauchsdefinierten Kriterien auszuwerten.In the Specifications of the radio data system RDS for VHF / FM sound broadcasting, Tech. 3244-E, European Broadcasting Union, March 1984, describes an RDS system in which additional digital information is routed via broadcast services to customers, which are detected on the receiver side for further processing of the data. It is not able to realize several clients and to evaluate the additional information on the side of the receiver according to consumption-defined criteria.

Das RDS-System überträgt Daten, die als Inhalte (zum Beispiel Suchkennung, Radiotext usw.) lediglich angezeigt werden. Daneben werden keine Steuerinformationen für das Rundfunkgerät gesendet, die nach vordefinierten Kriterien verarbeitet werden (Sendetabelle). Rechnerprogramme werden im RDS nicht übertragen.The RDS system transmits data that is merely displayed as contents (for example, search identifier, radio text, etc.). In addition, no control information for the radio is transmitted, which are processed according to predefined criteria (transmission table). Computer programs are not transferred in the RDS.

Außerdem ist durch NTZ Nachrichten Technische Zeitschrift 42 (1989) November, Nr. 11, Berlin, De "TOP macht Fernsehtext benutzerfreundlich" bekannt, daß PTY ausschließlich den Zugriff auf Rundfunkprogramme steuert und eine Auswahl aus sendeseitig vordefinierten Kriterien ermöglicht. Die TOP-Tabellen des Teletextes enthalten vordefinierte Kriterien zur Auswertung nach einem festen Schema; sie steuern den Decoder unabhängig vom Nutzungsverhalten und insbesondere unabhängig von den übertragenen Inhalten. Das Selektieren nach vordefinierten Kategorien ermöglicht keine inhaltsbezogene Auswertung. Das TOP-Verfahren verzichtet auf inhaltsbezogene Auswertung expressis verbis und steuert lediglich einen neuen Decodertyp, der statt einer Ziffernangabe das Drucken von farblich markierten Texten ermögleicht, also auch hier nur eine Auswahl nach sendeseitig vordefinierten Kriterien stattfindet.In addition, by NTZ News Technical Magazine 42 (1989) November, No. 11, Berlin, De "TOP makes TV text user-friendly" that PTY controls only access to broadcast programs and a selection of transmit side predefined criteria allows. The TOP tables of teletext contain predefined criteria for evaluation according to a fixed scheme; They control the decoder independently of the user behavior and in particular independently of the transmitted content. Selecting according to predefined categories does not allow a content-related evaluation. The TOP method dispenses with content-related evaluation expressis verbis and controls only a new one Decoder type, which allows the printing of color-coded texts instead of a numerical value, so that here too only a selection according to transmission-side predefined criteria takes place.

Nachteilig ist bei den bekannten Arten der Übertragung von Zusatzinformationen die spezielle Nutzung für jeweils nur eine Informationsart. Die mögliche Übertragungskapazität wird meistens nur unzureichend ausgenutzt. Für kleinere Auftraggeber verbietet sich die Nutzung eines solchen Dienstes aus Rentabilitätsgründen.A disadvantage is the special use for only one type of information in the known types of transmission of additional information. The possible transmission capacity is usually insufficiently utilized. For smaller clients, the use of such a service prohibits profitability reasons.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese Dienstleistungsart vielseitiger zu nutzen, auch kleinen Auftraggebern zugänglich zu machen sowie derart weiterzubilden, daß sich verbesserte Anwendungsmöglichkeiten erschließen.The invention has for its object to use this type of service more versatile to make accessible to small clients and further develop such that open up improved applications.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe gelöst durch ein Verfahren nach Patentanspruch 1.According to the invention this object is achieved by a method according to claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sind Gegenstand der Ansprüche 2 und 3.Advantageous developments of the method according to the invention are the subject matter of claims 2 and 3.

  2. 2. from a service center of order processing.

Die Ein-/Ausgabe-Schnittstelle der Auftragsannahme stellt den Zugang für datenanbietenden Kunden zum Datenstudio über bestehende Datennetze dar. Über diese Schnittstelle oder die manuelle Eingabe ins Studio gelangte Daten werden im Datenstudio in einen Datenbus eingespeist. Anbieter, die ihre Informationen datentechnisch nicht aufbereitet haben, erhalten einen Telefon oder Fax-Zugang zum Datenstudio.The job acceptance input / output interface provides access for data-providing customers to the data studio via existing data networks. Data entered into the studio via this interface or the manual input is fed into a data bus in the data studio. Providers who have not processed their information for technical reasons will receive a telephone or fax access to the data studio.

Sämtliche Anbieterdaten werden zur weiteren Bearbeitung im Datenstudio in einem Zwischenspeicher (Massenspeicher) abgelegt.All provider data is stored in a buffer (mass storage) for further processing in the data studio.

Ein Redaktionsplatz greift mittels Bedienkonsole auf die zwischengespeicherten Kundendaten zu und leitet den kundenspezifischen Auftrag zur Sendeabwicklung. Der Redaktionsplatz ergänzt die Kundenaufträge im Bedarfsfall um Bild- und Audio-Daten, die von Kunden datentechnisch nicht über die Schnittstelle zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Der Redaktionsplatz nimmt eine Trennung der Kundendaten vor:

  • in die Tarifierung der Studioleistung/Statistik sowie ,
  • in die Sendeabwicklung.
An editing station accesses the cached customer data via the operator console and forwards the customer-specific order for the transmission processing. If necessary, the editorial office supplements the customer orders with image and audio data that are not provided by customers via the interface for data processing purposes. The editorial office makes a separation of the customer data:
  • in the classification of the studio performance / statistics as well as,
  • in the broadcast.

Der Redaktionsplatz veranlaßt vor der Verbreitung der Daten neuer Anbieter, falls erforderlich, das Aussenden eines Software-Update für die Endgeräte.The editorial office will cause the distribution of data from new providers, if necessary, sending a software update for the terminals.

Die zur Sendeabwicklung aufbereiteten Daten werden auf einen Massenspeicher gegeben und von dort aus in den Datenstudio-Ausgangsdatenstrom integriert.The processed data for transmission processing are placed on a mass storage and integrated from there into the data studio output data stream.

The data relevant for administrative processing is sent via a studio-internal interface to a service and billing center.

Die Dienstleistungszentrale, (s. Fig. 3), nimmt die Kundendaten über die interne Schnittstelle aus der Redaktion/Sendeabwicklung entgegen. Weiterhin werden Daten aus dem Rückkanal, der vom Endverbraucher zum Datenstudio gerichtet ist, der Dienstleistungszentrale zugeführt.The service center, (s. Fig. 3 ), accepts the customer data via the internal interface from the editorial / broadcasting department. Furthermore, data from the return channel, which is directed by the end user to the data studio, fed to the service center.

Die Dienstleistungszentrale trennt die administrativ relevanten Daten ab. Alle administrativen Daten werden von einem Abrechnungsplatz zur Tarifierung weiterbearbeitet.The service center separates the administratively relevant data. All administrative data is processed by a billing center for classification.

Die Dienstleistungszentrale gibt die Datensätze, welche Bestellungen und Buchungen (aus dem Rückkanal) auslösen, an entsprechende Dienstleister weiter. Der Zugang zu den Dienstleistern erfolgt entweder über die Schnittstelle zur datentechnischen Weitergabe oder per Bestelliste Hand.The service center forwards the data records which trigger orders and postings (from the return channel) to corresponding service providers. Access to the service providers takes place either via the interface for data transmission or via the order hand.

Die Auftragsannahme besteht aus einer Schnittstelle und aus einem Handeingabeplatz. Als Schnittstelle werden Modems als technische Schnittstellen zu Datennetzen benutzt.The order acceptance consists of an interface and a manual entry point. As an interface modems are used as technical interfaces to data networks.

Die Technik des Handeingabeplatzes besteht aus Telefon/Fax-Anschlüssen und Eingabeterminals. Die Eingabeterminals erzeugen aus den handeingegebenen Daten einen Datenstrom zur Übergabe über den Datenbaus in den Zwischensspeicherbereich des Massenspeichers des Datenstudios.The technique of the hand entry place consists of telephone / fax connections and input terminals. The input terminals generate from the hand-entered data a data stream for transfer via the data construction in the intermediate storage area of the mass storage of the data studio.

Der Massenspeicher und die Steuereinheit sind vorteilhaft mittels Rechner mit groß bemessenem dynamischen und festen Speicherbereich realisierbar.The mass storage and the control unit are advantageously realized by means of computers with large-sized dynamic and fixed memory area.

Die Eingangsdaten werden im Datenstudio in dem dynamischen Speicher gehalten, die für die Sehdeabwicklung aufbereiteten Ausgangsdaten werden im Festspeicherbereich gehalten und dort datentechnisch verwaltet.The input data is kept in the data studio in the dynamic memory, the processed for the Sehdeabwicklung output data are held in the memory area and there managed data.

Die für den Datenrundfunk-Empfang geeigneten Endgeräte bestehen aus mehreren Empfangsmodulen für verschiedene Übertragungskanäle. Diese Module sind alternativ wählbar und können auch mehrfach vorhandensein. Die Bedienung erfolgt über das Displaymenü in einem Zweig mit gerätespezifischer Software. Dabei werden die Daten aller aktivierten Empfangsmodule durch Schnittstellenmultiplex von einem PC-Modul aufgenommen und einer benutzerdefinierten Filterung zugeführt.The terminals suitable for the data broadcast reception consist of several receiving modules for different transmission channels. These modules are alternatively selectable and can also be present several times. The operation takes place via the display menu in a branch with device-specific software. The data of all activated receiving modules are recorded by interface multiplexing from a PC module and fed to a user-defined filtering.

Diese Filterung dient der Mengenreduktion vor der Speicherung, um die naturgemäß begrenzten Speichermöglichkeiten optimal zu nutzen. Filterung und Sortierung nach Benutzeranweisungen durch Bedienung der Menüführung und Darstellung der so selektierten Informationen präsentieren dem Nutzer die spezifischen Ergebnisse. Die Menüführung erlaubt nun eine Standardauswahl an weiteren Verarbeitungsoptionen. Wichtigste Option ist die Erzeugung einer Dateiübersicht aus der Angebotsbearbeitung zum Absenden über den Rückkanal.This filtering serves to reduce the quantity before storage in order to optimally use the naturally limited storage possibilities. Filtering and sorting according to user instructions by operating the menu navigation and displaying the information thus selected present the user with the specific results. The menu navigation now allows a standard selection of additional processing options. The most important option is to create a file overview from the quotation processing for sending via the return channel.

Durch Software, vorteilhaft mit Betätigen von Markierungen, sogenannten Softkeys, wird die gesamte Benutzerführung selbsterklärend. Aufträge des Nutzers gelangen ebenfalls über diese Art der Benutzerführung via Rückkanal, der durch ein integriertes Mobilfunkendgerät oder Modem realisiert ist, zurück zum Datenstudio. Die Endgerätesoftware wird nahezu ausschließlich über die Übertragungskanäle bereitgestellt und im Datenrundfunkstudio aktualisiert.Through software, advantageously with the use of markings, so-called softkeys, the entire user guidance becomes self-explanatory. Orders of the user also get back to the data studio via this type of user guidance via return channel, which is realized by an integrated mobile radio terminal or modem. The terminal software is provided almost exclusively via the transmission channels and updated in the data broadcast studio.

Die Bedienfunktionen des Empfängers (Übertragungskanal-Auswahl und Kanaleinstellung) und die Ansteuerung des integrierten Mobilfunkgerätes/Modems sind Bestandteil der unveränderlichen Endgerätesoftware.The operating functions of the receiver (transmission channel selection and channel setting) and the control of the integrated mobile device / modem are part of the invariable terminal software.

Die Hauptmenüführung und die Optionsstruktur, um an anbieterspezifische Daten zu gelangen, stellt das Studio als Grundsoftware über den Übertragungskanal zur Verfügung.The main menu guide and the option structure for providing vendor-specific data is provided by the studio as a basic software over the transmission channel.

Die Untermenüführungen werden vom Datenanbieter in ihrer Grundstruktur vorgegeben und vom Datenstudio als Subroutinen zur Hauptmenüapplikation aufbereitet und so gesendet, daß sie getrennt updatefähige Softwaremodule sind.The submenu guides are predetermined by the data provider in their basic structure and processed by the data studio as subroutines for the main menu application and sent so that they are separately updatable software modules.

Die interne Schnittstelle zum Rückkanalmodul sind temporäre ASCII-Files.The internal interface to the return channel module is temporary ASCII files.

Die Fig. 4 zeigt den prinzipiellen Aufbau des Empfängers. Für mobile Anwendungen ist zusätzlich ein GPS-Empfänger (Positionsbestimmungssystem) vorgesehen, der im Zusammenwirken mit dem über den Übertragungskanal übertragenen DGPS-Signal präzisionsnavigatorische Anwendungen ermöglicht. Damit wird der mobile Empfänger durch die implementierte Rückkanaltechnik gleichzeitig auch zu einem individuellen Notrufsystem.The Fig. 4 shows the basic structure of the receiver. For mobile applications, a GPS receiver (positioning system) is additionally provided, which enables precision navigation applications in conjunction with the DGPS signal transmitted via the transmission channel. At the same time, the implemented reverse channel technology makes the mobile receiver an individual emergency call system.

In den Empfangsteil implementiert sind die nach dem jeweiligen technologischen Stand verfügbaren HF-Komponenten mit Decoder und externer Funktiönssteuerung. Schnittstelle ist beispielsweise eine unter der Bezeichnung RS 232 bekannte, mit transparenter Übertragung.Implemented in the receiver part are the RF components with decoder and external function control available according to the respective technological state. Interface is for example a known under the name RS 232, with transparent transmission.
