Abstract

PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for providing pay contents for a lodging house using an MPEG player and a contents paying device are provided to enjoy specific TV broadcasting programs without a receiver in the lodging house. CONSTITUTION: An MPEG encoder(100) stores, edits, and encodes a manufactured broadcasting program for transmitting video and audio. An MPEG player(120) decodes the received data and modulates channels, and distributes the video and audio to a plurality of TV sets through a video distributer(130) of a lodging house to show contents. A contents paying device(140) controls to show the contents to specific persons, and displays control and figures of a view time to provide the contents in a payment type.

Description

A providing method and device of comtents charged type for motel using MPEG player and contents paying device.}

The present invention belongs to the field of broadcasting technology, conventionally TV broadcasting is to transmit the content by using the RF radio wave transmission method, cable TV method or satellite broadcasting method. Cable TV and satellite broadcasting need to install a separate dedicated device such as a converter or set-tip box for each personal TV receiver. On the other hand, this method saves cost because only a common MPEG decoder and video distribution device is required for each restaurant. In addition, unlike conventional over-the-air TV broadcasting, the Internet dedicated line is used, so the equipment for the transmission towers, relay stations, and broadcasting stations is equipped with only inexpensive digital editing and transmission equipment, thereby further reducing costs.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for providing a content program at a low cost. In order to transmit a broadcast wave to a large area from a conventional broadcast wave, a transmission apparatus and a transmission tower repeater have a large scale and a high cost for transmitting a broadcast wave. Etc. Since this method uses the Internet, there is no need for expensive RF equipment and facilities for transmission, and there is no need to install a new cable network like a cable network. In the case of a broadcast service, satellite fees are expensive and a satellite stub box is required. have.

Therefore, since the present invention is directly transmitted through the Internet dedicated line 110 from the MPEG encoding apparatus 100, which is a broadcasting transmission system, which is a device for editing, storing, and transmitting video images to a broadcasting station, as shown in FIG. Can be sent to

Next, the occasional side locally stores the video / audio on the hard disk, decodes the MPEG format file, and distributes the channel modulation 120 and the broadcast program 140 so that the viewer can watch the broadcast program. Particularly important technical problem in this method is the TV in the MPEG player 120 to transmit the video and audio encoded in the digital video editing / transmission device 100 through the Internet dedicated line 110 and to perform MPEG decoding and channel conversion Receiving equipment that converts as a signal that can be received by the receiver is an important factor, and is a method that can receive a TV broadcast without the need for a special receiving converter by connecting to a video distributor in a property.

1 is a block diagram of a system as the name of the invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure in which a user receives a video / audio on a TV.

150. Payment system for paying contents by payment method

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing a TV broadcast program using the MPEG method as shown in FIG. 1, and stores, edits, and encodes a broadcast program produced by the broadcast encoding system 100 to transmit video / audio. The MPEG player 120 decodes the received data and modulates the channel, thereby distributing the video / audio to the viewer's TV receiver through the video distributor 130 of the lodging facility so as to view contents such as a movie. In this case, the content payment device 140 may control the content to be viewed only by a specific person who wants to view the content, and display the control and the coefficient of the viewing time to provide the content in a paid manner. Alternatively, by connecting the content-payment device 150 by billing method to each TV, only a specific person who pays for the content pays the content. Fig. 2 shows the procedure from video / audio data to editing, storage and transmission until the user can receive it on TV.

In the case of over-the-air waves, expensive transmission and reception equipment is required. In the case of cable TV, the cable must be installed to the viewer's home, and in the case of satellite broadcasting, expensive satellite fees must be paid. In addition, in the case of cable TV or satellite broadcasting, a receiver such as a converter or a set-top box is required. However, this method does not require expensive transmission equipment because it uses an Internet dedicated line, and there is no problem such as allocating wireless channels like airwaves, and it is necessary to connect an mpeg player in a lodging facility without installing cables. And a TV broadcast program can be enjoyed on a predetermined channel without a receiver such as a set-top box. In addition, by providing a device that can view the advanced content, such as a specific movie for a fee, it is a way to monetize the content service of the accommodation.

As shown in FIG. 1, the video / audio program is stored, edited, and encoded (100), and the video / audio is transmitted through the dedicated Internet line 110, and the received data is decoded and channel modulated ( And distributing the video / audio to the television receiver of the viewer in the apartment complex via the apartment TV receiving common terminal. Paid content payment method of the property through MPEG player, video distributor, central content payment device 140 and individual payment method content payment device 150 connected to video line in each room
