Description

（関連出願との相互参照）
本願は２０００年２月１日に出願された米国仮出願第６０／１７９，５５１号の利益を主張する。同文献全体を本明細書において参考として援用する。
（発明の背景）
本発明はテレビ広告に関する。具体的には、本発明は、強制型広告（ｆｏｒｃｅｄ ａｄｖｅｒｔｉｓｅｍｅｎｔ）を視聴者に提供する方法およびシステムに関する。
テレビの視聴者は現在、ほとんどの有料でない（ｎｏｎ−ｐｒｅｍｉｕｍ）テレビチャンネルを見る場合、種々の広告を見ることになる。この広告は通常、提供されて広告をする側の製品およびサービスを宣伝するのと同時に、テレビ番組内容を提供するコストを後援するかまたは援助する。このようにテレビ広告を行うことは通常、製品およびサービスを宣伝する非常に効果的な手段として考えられるが、非常に高価だとも認識されている。
テレビ広告の１つの問題は、テレビ広告が始まるとすぐにテレビの視聴者がチャンネルを変えることが多いという点である。この行為は口語的には「チャンネルサーフィン」として知られている。最近の技術はさらに、ディスクドライブに番組をデジタル的に保存するパーソナルビデオレコーダによって番組がバッファリングされたり保存された場合、広告を飛ばす機能も有する。例えば、番組がパーソナルビデオレコーダのディスクドライブ上に保存された場合、テレビの視聴者はボタンを押して、記録した番組を３０秒ごとにジャンプさせ、そしてこれにより、通常３０秒のコマーシャルを飛ばし得る。
テレビ広告の別の問題は、テレビの放送局は通常、テレビの視聴者によって視聴される対応するチャンネル上で映される広告を独占的に制御する点である。これにより、テレビの配信者（例えば、ケーブルテレビ会社および衛星テレビ会社）が別の広告をテレビの視聴者に提供することが防止される。
したがって、広告を視聴者に強制的に見せる方法およびシステムを提供することが望ましい。このような方法およびシステムは好適には、視聴者がテレビ広告からチャンネルを変えたり、または飛ばしたりすることを防止することを促進する。これらの方法およびシステムはさらに好適には、テレビ放送局によってテレビの視聴者に提供される広告とは異なる広告を提供することを促進する。
（発明の要旨）
本発明のこれらおよび他の目的は、本発明の原理に従い、強制型広告の方法およびシステムを提供することによって達成される。
本発明によれば、これらの方法およびシステムは、強制型広告が提示されるときを決定することによって、どの強制型広告が提供されるかを決定することによって、そして強制型広告がいかに提供されるかを制御することによって、強制型広告を提供する。強制型広告は強制型広告が提供される前に受信され得る。あるいは、強制型広告は必要なときに受信され得る。強制型広告は、特定の放送広告が、日に特定の回数、または番組中に特定の回数、放送される場合に提供され得る。強制型広告は、取り替えられた放送広告のコンテンツ、近くの番組のコンテンツに基づいて、または任意の放送関連の要素とは無関係に選択され得る。最後に、強制型広告は、テレビの視聴者がチャンネルを変えたり、またはテレビを消すことによって広告を視聴することを逃れることが出来ないように提供され得る。
図１は、本発明の種々の実施形態に用いられ得るハードウェアを例示するブロック図である。 図２は、本発明の一実施形態によるプロセスのフローチャートであり、強制型広告はユーザ機器内に含まれた記憶装置デバイス内に保持されている。 図３は、本発明の一実施形態によるプロセスのフローチャートであり、強制型広告は強制型広告制作設備から伝送される。 図４は、本発明の一実施形態によるプロセスのフローチャートであり、入ってくる広告は強制型広告として指定されている。
（好適な実施形態の詳細な説明）
本発明のこれらおよび他の目的ならびに利点は、以下の詳細な説明を読み、そして図面を参照すると明らかになる。
本発明による例示的なシステム１０を図１に示す。例示するように、システム１０は、映像ストリーム生成設備１１、強制型広告制作設備１２、通信リンク１３および１４、ユーザ機器１５、およびユーザディスプレイ１６を含む。映像ストリーム生成設備１１を用いて映像ストリームを提供し得る。映像ストリームは、テレビ、ケーブル、インターネット、または映像、音声、データなどを備えた他の適切な媒体信号を含み得、映像ストリームがユーザ機器によって受信された場合、コンポーネントを用いて、ユーザディスプレイ上に適切なディスプレイを提供し得る。映像ストリーム生成設備１１は、テレビ放送機器、ビデオテーププレーヤ、ビデオおよびデータサーバなどを含み得る。
強制型広告制作設備１２を用いて、強制型広告を提供し得る。映像ストリームと同様、強制型広告は、テレビ、ケーブル、インターネット、または映像、音声、データなどを備えた他の適切な媒体信号を含み得、強制型広告がユーザ機器によって受信された場合、コンポーネントを用いて、ユーザディスプレイ上に適切なディスプレイを提供し得る。強制型広告制作設備１２は、テレビ放送機器、ビデオテーププレーヤ、ビデオおよびデータサーバなどを含み得る。
システム１０は、複数の映像ストリーム生成設備１１および複数の強制型広告制作設備１２を含み得るが、図面を過度に複雑にすることを避けるためそれぞれ１つのみを示す。さらに、映像ストリーム生成設備１１および強制型広告制作設備１２は、ケーブルのヘッドエンドなど、同じ場所にあってもよいし、および／または組み合わされてもよい。
通信リンク１３および１４を用いて、映像ストリームおよび強制型広告をユーザ機器に伝送し得る。そして通信リンク１３および１４は、例えば、衛星リンク、電話ネットワークリンク、ケーブルリンクまたは光ファイバリンク、マイクロ波リンク、インターネットリンク、データ−オーバー−ケーブルサービスインターフェース仕様リンク（ｄａｔａ−ｏｖｅｒ−ｃａｂｌｅ ｓｅｒｖｉｃｅ ｉｎｔｅｒｆａｃｅ ｓｐｅｃｉｆｉｃａｔｉｏｎ ｌｉｎｋ）、このようなリンクの組み合わせ、または任意の他の適切な通信リンクを含み得る。
映像ストリームおよび強制型広告が、リンク１３および１４を通して伝送された後、ユーザ機器１５によって受信され得る。ユーザ機器１５は、セットトップボックス、パーソナルコンピュータ、セットトップボックス、パーソナルビデオレコーダ、またはプロセッサ（単数または複数）を含む任意の他の適切な機器を用いて実現され得る。所望の場合、このような構成の組み合わせが用いられ得る。映像ストリームおよび強制型広告の両方をユーザのユーザディスプレイ１６上に示し得る。ユーザディスプレイ１６は、ユーザ機器１５と同じエンクロージャ（ｅｎｃｌｏｓｕｒｅ）内に統合されてもよい。
ユーザ機器１５はさらに、記憶装置デバイス１７も含み得る。記憶装置デバイス１７は、任意の適切な記憶装置デバイス（例えば、ハードディスクドライブ、ビデオテープドライブ、書換可能なコンパクトディスク、または強制型広告を保存することに適したこのようなデバイスの組み合わせ）であり得る。記憶装置デバイス１７は、数時間の映像ストリーム（例えば、映画、テレビショー、スポーツイベントなど）、および強制型広告（例えば、映像および音声、バーカー（ｂａｒｋｅｒ）チャンネルの宣伝、テキスト、グラフィックなどを含むテレビコマーシャル）を保存することが可能であり得る。
システム１０を用いてインプリメントすることが可能な強制型広告を行うプロセス２０の一実施形態を図２に示す。図示のように、工程２１において、強制型広告を強制型広告生成設備１２からユーザ機器１５中の格納デバイス１７に通信することができる。このような通信は、ユーザ機器１５を初期設定する際、ユーザ機器１５がオンになった際、設定された時間間隔で行われる。その後、工程２２において、強制型広告を後で再生するために格納デバイス１７に格納することができる。次いで、工程２３において、ユーザ機器１５は、映像ストリームがテレビ視聴者に提示されるのを待機することができる。映像ストリームがテレビ視聴者に提示可能となるのは、視聴者が例えば所望のテレビチャンネルをオンした時である。映像ストリームが提示されると、プロセス２０の工程２４において、強制型広告を提示すべきか否かを判定することができる。
強制型広告を提示すべきか否かの決定は、任意の適切なファクター（単数または複数）に基づいて行われる。例えば、映像ストリーム中に特定の広告が含まれている場合はいつも（例えば、Ｐｅｐｓｉの広告が検出された場合はいつも）強制型広告を提示することができる。広告の検出は、プログラミングタグもしくはプログラミングデータ、クローズキャプションデータ、または任意の他の適切な方法を用いて行うことができる。別の例として、強制型広告は、放送枠内において特定の時期または回数（例えば、１つの番組についておよそ１５分間または１つの番組の３回目のコマーシャル時間枠に）提示することが可能である。さらに別の例として、強制型広告を一日のうち特定の時刻（単数または複数）（例えば、各時間の最初）に提示することもできる。どの広告をいつ提示するのかを選択するための他の任意の適切な方法を用いることも可能である。
別の実施形態において、当該広告の代わりに提示される強制型広告は、当該広告と同じ広告であるかまたは当該広告をわずかに改変したものであり得る。例えば、強制型広告は、オリジナルの広告と同じ広告主のものであってもよいし、あるいは、特定の視聴者または世帯による関心が高いことが分かっているあるバージョンの広告であってもよい。
工程２４において強制型広告の提示が決定されると、その後、プロセス２０の工程２５において、提示すべき強制型広告を選択する。提示すべき強制型広告を選択するための任意の適切な方法を用いることが可能である。例えば、特定の広告が検出されると、同業他社の広告を強制型広告として提示することを選択することができる。このようして、Ｐｅｐｓｉの広告が検出されると、Ｃｏｃａ Ｃｏｌａの広告を強制型広告することができる。別の例として、強制型広告の選択を、当該強制型広告に近い時期に放送される番組の内容に基づいて行うことが可能である。このようにして、ある強制型広告を各テレビ番組の３番目の広告として提示する場合において、その強制型広告がサッカーの試合の間に提示される場合はその強制型広告の内容をビールに関するものにし、その強制型広告がゴルフトーナメントの間に提示される場合はその強制型広告の内容をゴルフクラブに関するものにすることが可能である。番組内容は、番組タグもしくはガイドデータ、クローズドキャプションのデータ、または他の任意の適切な方法を用いて判定することができる。
最後に、工程２５において強制型広告が選択されると、その強制型広告を工程２６において提示することができる。工程２６において強制型広告を再生する工程は、チャンネルを切り換えるかまたはさらにはユーザ機器をオフにすることによってテレビ視聴者が広告から逃れることを防ぐ工程を含み得る。例えば、強制型広告が流れている間に視聴者が別の映像ストリームチャンネルに切り換えようとする（例えば、チャンネルサーフィング）と、ユーザ機器はその新規のチャンネルに切り換わるが、強制型広告は最後まで再生され続け得るか、または、強制型広告が再生され終えるまでチャンネル切り換えは不可能となり得る。別の例として、強制型広告が表示されている間にユーザがユーザ機器１５をオフにした場合において、ユーザがユーザ機器１５を再度オンにすると、当該強制型広告は再度最後まで表示される得るか、または、最初からもう一度再生され得る。
強制型広告を提示するタイミングは、別の広告が放送されているいないに関わらずテレビ番組中の任意の時点とすることが可能である。そのため、近隣のテレビ番組を格納デバイス１７中にバッファリングする。例えば、強制型広告をあるテレビ番組の間に７：１５ｐｍに提示する場合でかつその時間に放送される広告が他に無い場合、本発明では、強制型広告が提示されている間に当該番組をバッファリングし、その後、放送広告を除去して、当該番組のバッファリングを解除して、バッファリングによって消費された時間を埋め合わせることができる。
強制型広告は、放送されるテレビ番組の映像および／または音声に統合してもよいし、または、別個のウィンドウ中に提示してもよい。例えば、強制型広告を通常のコマーシャル枠において提示して、提示されているのは強制型広告であることをテレビ視聴者に気づかせないようにすることができる。あるいは、別の例として、放送されるテレビ番組の全体または一部上にオーバーレイされたウィンドウとして強制型広告を提示することも可能である。
図３を参照して、本発明の一実施形態に従ってユーザ機器１５を用いてインプリメントすることが可能な強制型広告の別のプロセス３０が図示されている。図示のように、工程３１において、プロセス３０は、映像ストリームが受信されるのを待機することができる。工程３１は、上述した工程２３と実質的に同じ工程であってもよい。次いで、プロセス３０は、工程３２において、強制型広告を提示する時期を決定することができる。工程３２は、上述した工程２４と実質的に同じ工程であってもよい。その後、プロセス３０は、工程３３において、強制型広告を提供すべき旨を要求する信号を強制型広告生成設備１２に送る。すると、設備１２は、任意の適切な様式（例えば、上記の工程２５に関連して説明したような様式）で提示される広告を選択することができる。その後、工程３４において、強制型広告生成設備１２は、強制型広告をユーザ機器１５に送信することができる。最後に、工程３５においてこの強制型広告を提示することができる。工程３５では、強制型広告の提示を工程２６と関連して上述したような方法と実質的に同じ方法で行うことが可能である。
図４を参照して、本発明の一実施形態にしたがって再生またはリプレイされる入来映像ストリーム中の強制型広告を検出する別のプロセス４０が図示されている。図示のように、工程４１において、プロセス４０では、映像ストリームが受信されるのを待機することができる。その後、工程４２において、強制型広告として指定された入来広告の受信および識別を行うことができる。この識別工程は、強制型広告中の指定情報（例えば、プログラミングタグもしくはプログラミングデータまたはクローズキャプションデータ）を検出することに基づき、プログラミングデータ中に情報を格納することに基づき、広告が受信された時刻に基づき、広告が受信されるチャンネルに基づき、またはこれらの任意の組み合わせに基づき得る。その後、工程４３において強制型広告を再生することができる。工程４３において強制型広告を再生する工程は、強制型広告が再生されている間にテレビ視聴者がチャンネルを切り換えることをできなくする工程を含み得る。さらに、所望であれば、工程４３において、ユーザ機器１５の格納デバイス１７に強制型広告を格納することが可能である。その後、強制型広告の提示を工程２６と実質的に同じ様式（すなわち、チャンネルが切り換えられたときまたはユーザ機器１５がオンまたはオフになった時に強制型広告の再生を再開またはもう一度最初から行う様式）で行うことが可能となる。
ユーザ機器１５を用いると、強制型広告の提供に加えて、電子番組ガイドを提示することも可能となる。一実施形態において、電子番組ガイドは、視聴対象番組の選択を容易化するための双方向テレビ番組ガイドであり得る。例示的な双方向テレビ番組ガイドについては、例えば、１９９６年１２月３１日に発行されたＫｎｅｅらによる米国特許第５，５８９，８９２号と、１９９９年７月１６日に出願されたＫｎｕｄｓｏｎらによる米国特許出願シリアル番号第０９／３５７，９４１号とに記載がある。本明細書中、同文献を参考として援用する。
従って、本発明に従えば、上記の目的、趣旨および利点を十分に満たす強制型広告システムが得られることは明らかである。本発明についてその特定の実施形態と共に説明してきたが、本明細書中の特許請求の範囲内に収まる多くの改変、変更およびおよび変種が明らかである。
