The in-facility composite terminal device 1 basically includes a television broadcast receiving device 2 and a computer 3. And are configured integrally.

  The television broadcast receiver 2 receives BS / 110 ° CS digital broadcast intermediate frequency signals, terrestrial digital broadcast reception signals, and commercial broadcasts as independent broadcasts from the coaxial transmission line 10. 2 is sent to the BS · 110 ° CS digital tuner or terrestrial tuner, and the channel selection operation corresponding to the instruction operation from the remote controller 5 is executed, and the transport stream (TS) of the channel is demodulated, if necessary. Similarly, video and audio information is obtained by descrambling and decoding in accordance with information stored in a B-CAS card mounted in the television broadcast receiver 2, and this is also obtained by an AV decoder in the television broadcast receiver 2. A temporally continuous video signal and stereo audio signal are generated.

  The video signal and the stereo audio signal generated in this way are connected to the liquid crystal monitor device 4 installed together with the in-facility composite terminal device 1 via the video and audio cable 11 and output. Audio is reproduced and output together.

  On the other hand, the computer 3 uses the television broadcast receiving device 2 to view a television broadcast, view a video on demand such as a movie by streaming data input via the LAN line 12, and use the above-described personal computer application software. Similarly, this is realized according to the operation of the remote controller 5.

  An infrared modulation signal transmitted by operating a key of the remote controller 5 is received by a light receiving sensor in the television broadcast receiver 2, and the demodulated signal is input to a control unit in the computer 3 via the remote control signal cable 13. The

  The TV broadcast receiving apparatus 2 and the computer 3 are connected to each other by a serial communication line 14 and a video / audio cable 15. The TV broadcast receiving apparatus 2 appropriately controls necessary data via the computer 3 and the serial communication line 14. The video and audio signals sent from the computer 3 via the video and audio cable 15 are output to the liquid crystal monitor device 4 via the video and audio cable 11 to be reproduced and output.

  FIG. 2 exemplifies a specific key top configuration of the remote controller 5. Here, only the keys used in the present embodiment will be mainly described, and the power key 31 for turning on / off the composite terminal device 1 in the facility and the numerical value for selecting a desired channel are selected. A channel key 32 composed of keys, a direction instruction key 33 for instructing movement of the cursor displayed in the screen in the up, down, left, and right directions, and a “paid movie” key 34 for displaying a pay movie list screen as a pay service. A trackball 35 that functions as a pointing device at the center of the direction instruction key 33, a free channel (CH) up / down key 36 for instructing up / down of a free broadcast channel, and a determination from a selected state. A “decision” key 38 and a “return” key 39 for returning to the previous state are provided.

  Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 3 shows the “paid movie” key 34 of the remote controller 5 that is executed by the control unit in the computer 3 in accordance with an operation program stored in advance in a state where the power of the in-facility composite terminal device 1 is turned on. The processing contents associated with the operation are shown. At the beginning of the processing, the image signals of the pay movie list screen prepared in advance are read out and output and displayed on the liquid crystal monitor device 4 (step S01).

FIG. 4 exemplifies a pay movie list screen displayed on the liquid crystal monitor device 4. Here,
"1. CS broadcast movie A"
"2. CS broadcast movie B"
"3. On-demand movie 1"
"4. On-demand movie 2"
"5. On-demand movie 3"
A state where a total of five pay movies are displayed as a list.

  Whether or not the “return” key 39 of the remote controller 5 has been operated in a state where such a list of pay movies is displayed (step S02), and any program is selected by the direction instruction key 33 or the trackball 35. By repeatedly determining whether or not an operation has been performed (step S03), these operations are waited.

  If it is determined that the direction instruction key 33 or the trackball 35 has been operated, this is determined in step S03, and the displayed pay movie is selected and displayed according to the operation content (step S04).

  Specifically, for example, every time a down key or right direction key in the direction instruction key 33 or a similar rotation operation of the trackball 35 is performed, the cursor is highlighted by a cursor in a pay movie displayed in a list. Let's move one of them down the screen.

  On the other hand, every time the up key or the left key in the direction instruction key 33 or the similar operation of the trackball 35 is rotated, one of the pay movies displayed in a list is highlighted by the cursor on the screen. It shall be moved upward.

  In addition, “1. CS broadcast movie A” at the top and “5. On-demand movie 3” at the bottom are assumed to be cyclically continuous in terms of the operation system. In the state of “5. On-demand movie 3” at the lowest position, when the down key or the right direction key in the direction instruction key 33 or the similar rotation operation of the trackball 35 is performed, It is assumed that the cursor “1. CS broadcast movie A” at the top position is displayed in reverse video.

  Similarly, in the state where the highlighted cursor is at “1. CS broadcast movie A”, the upward key or the left key in the direction instruction key 33 or the similar operation of the trackball 35 is performed. Then, the cursor “5. On-demand movie 3” at the lowest position is displayed in reverse video.

  In this way, the position of the selected pay movie is sequentially moved according to the operation of the user (guest) of the in-facility composite terminal device 1.

  However, if the “decision” key 38 is operated in a state where the user has selected an arbitrary pay movie, this is determined in step S02, and then whether the “decision” key 38 is operated for the first time. No, that is, use of paid movie viewing which is one of the paid services in the cycle of the day from the check-in time to the check-out time, which is the use environment of the guest room where the in-facility composite terminal device 1 is installed It is determined, for example, by data communication with the front computer of this hotel (step S05).

  Here, when it is determined that the “determine” key 38 is operated for the first time, the telop (A) limited to the first use of the pay movie is used as a character guide message to the user for a certain time, for example, on the liquid crystal monitor device 4. Display is made for about 2 to 3 [seconds] (step S06), and at the same time, for example, the billing process for the guest room user is executed by data communication with the front computer or a prepaid card (step S07).

FIG. 5A illustrates the contents of the telop (A) by the character guide message displayed on the liquid crystal monitor device 4 at this time. Here, FIG.
“The fee for watching paid movies is
It is 1,000 yen in a lump.
Enjoy other movies freely
Can be "
A character string such as is displayed.

  If it is determined in step S05 that the “determine” key 38 is operated not for the first time but for the second time or later, it is assumed that the billing process for the guest room user has already been performed, and the telop (B) Is displayed as a character guide message to the user on the liquid crystal monitor device 4 for a predetermined time, for example, about 2 to 3 [seconds] (step S08).

FIG. 5B illustrates the contents of the telop (B) by the character guide message displayed on the liquid crystal monitor device 4 at this time. Here, FIG.
“The viewing fee has already been charged.
is. Enjoy freely
Please. "
A character string such as is displayed.

  In this way, the telop corresponding to the number of times of use of the pay movie is displayed, and after the charging process is executed only for the first time, the reproduction of the selected pay movie is started (step S09), and the processing of FIG. , Transition to paid movie playback operation.

  In this case, if the selected pay movie is a CS broadcast, the channel is selected by the television broadcast receiving device 2, while if the selected pay movie is on demand, the movie data of the movie is distributed. When a request signal is transmitted to the server apparatus that does not, and the corresponding moving image data is sent in the form of streaming data in response to the request signal, the computer 3 receives the video data and reproduces it.

  In this way, the in-facility composite terminal device 1 that combines the use of television broadcasting and video-on-demand (two-way video delivery service) with different delivery formats, and a plurality of pay movies that are paid delivery services. Titles etc. are displayed centrally for the user, and by selecting one of them, it is possible to receive the desired delivery service at any time. You can use the service.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3 above, the titles of a plurality of pay movies, which are pay services, are displayed on the list screen, and one of them is selected, so that it is very easy for the user to understand. You can select the desired service.

  In addition, the above-mentioned paid service is set as a lump sum, and in the case of a predetermined usage environment, for example, a hotel, the time zone corresponding to the check-out time from the check-in time is a lump sum for 1 day (1 night 2 days) By presenting it to the user, the fee structure of the paid service was made simple and easy for the user to understand.

  As a result, it is possible to more reliably anticipate an increase in the total number of users by stimulating the user's sense of cheapness and more easily using paid services.

  In FIGS. 5A and 5B, the information about the viewing fee is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal monitor device 4 as a telop by the character guide message. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, If an indicator unit for displaying some functions using LEDs (light emitting diodes) or the like is provided on the outer surface of the in-facility composite terminal device 1 and the indicator corresponding to the paid service is lit in red, it is still before the billing process On the other hand, the apparatus configuration may be such that when the indicator is lit and lit in green, the charging process has already been completed.

  However, as shown in FIGS. 5 (A) and 5 (B), the charging status is displayed as an image using the screen of the liquid crystal monitor device 4, so that the dedicated terminal as described above is displayed on the in-facility composite terminal device 1 side. Since there is no need to provide an indicator unit or the like and it can be realized without dealing with hardware, the burden on the side providing the in-facility composite terminal device 1 can be reduced.
