In step S105, the set top box receives a personalization code that includes identification information for the user. The personalization code may be set in advance for each personalization setting button of the remote control terminal.

For example, when the remote control terminal includes four personalization setting buttons of the first personalization setting button to the fourth personalization setting button, a personalization code unique to each of the first personalization setting button and the fourth personalization setting button is previously displayed. Is set.

Since a unique user is determined for each personalization setting button, the personalization code generated and transmitted by the selection of the personalization setting button may include identification information for the user.

In step S110, it is determined whether personalization data corresponding to the identification information included in the personalization code received in step S105 exists in the database. That is, it is determined whether the setting for the user corresponding to the personalization code has been previously stored in the database as personalization data.

The personalization data may include not only personal information of the user, but also information about a favorite channel, a viewing history, a personalization platform, and the like.

In step S115, when it is determined that no personalization data exists in step S110, personalization data corresponding to the personalization code received in step S105 is generated, and the generated personalization data is stored.

In this case, information about a user's personal information may be received or input through a remote control terminal.

In step S120, the personalization data determined in step S110 or the personalization data generated in step S115 is loaded.

In step S125, before receiving the personalization code in step S105, it is determined whether there is a personalization environment provided by the set-top box via the remote control terminal.

That is, before receiving the personalization code in step S105, the set-top box receives the personalization code, and determines whether the personalization data is loaded by the received personalization code and thus personalization environment, that is, personalization content is provided to the user. .

In step S130, when it is determined that the personalization environment previously provided in step S125 exists, the personalization data corresponding to the personalization environment previously provided and the personalization data loaded in step S120 are merged and merged. Load personalization data.

That is, the old personalized data and the newly loaded personalized data may be merged to generate personalized data including only information that matches each other among the information set in each personalized data.

A detailed description of how a plurality of personalization data is merged will be described later.

In step S135, the personalization environment set in the personalization data, that is, personalization content, is provided using the personalization data loaded in step S120 or step S130.

For example, the control signal generated by the numeric input button may basically include a control code indicating a number corresponding to the numeric input button.

In step S150, a personalization control signal corresponding to the control signal received in step S145 is generated using the service key code set in step S135. The personalization control signal may include a personalization control code, and the personalization control code may be generated using the control code included in the control signal received in step S145 and the service key code set in step S140.

The personalization control code may be generated by combining the control code and the service key code, and the personalization control code may represent a control function different from the control function by the included control code.

For example, the personalization control code including the control code and the service key code generated by the numeric input button of "0" of the remote control terminal may indicate a control value corresponding to "00" rather than "0".

The set-top box may control the provided personalization environment using the generated personalization control signal and control a display device such as a television displaying IPTV content.

In step S155, the set-top box collects a usage history of a personalization environment, that is, a channel, a VOD, or other IPTV interactive service, etc. selected by the user after the personalization content is provided in step S135, and the collected usage history. Is stored in the personalization data. Such usage history may be collected for each user and stored in personalization data corresponding to each user.

When personalization data is merged in step S130, the usage history may be stored in all personalization data that is the basis of the merging.

In addition, if the user interface (UI) of the menu provided to the user is changed after being set after the personalization environment is provided, the changed setting information of the UI may also be stored in the personalization data.

As described above, the usage history or UI setting information stored in the personalized data may be reflected in the personalized environment provided by using the personalized data, thereby providing a service specialized for each user.

For example, the user may analyze the user's favorite channel or the favorite program using the watched channel history or the watched program history among the stored usage histories, and provide the channel or program to the user based on the analysis result.

In addition, by analyzing the menu mainly used by the user, it is possible to provide a recommended menu in the user's UI configuration.

Hereinafter, a method of merging a plurality of personalization data will be described as an example.

For example, the configuration information VOD_COM, CHNL_COM, and DATA_COM of VOD, channel, and bidirectional services available through the common menu button are as follows.

VOD_COM = {Category a,… , Category i}

CHNL_COM = {channel a,…. , Channel j}

DATA_COM = {service a,… , Service}

In addition, preferred service configuration information and personal service configuration information VOD_A, CHNL_A, DATA_A, VOD_Ap, CHNL_Ap, and DATA_Ap set for user A and personal service configuration information VOD_B, CHNL_B, DATA_B, VOD_Bp set for user B , CHNL_Bp and DATA_Bp are as follows.

VOD_A = {Categoryb, Categoryd, Categoryf}, VOD_Ap = {Categoryf}

CHNL_A = {channel c, channel e, channel h}, CHNL_Ap = {channel h}

DATA_A = {service a, serviced, service i}, DATA_Ap = {serviced}

VOD_B = {Category c, Category f, Category h}, VOD_Bp = {Category h}

CHNL_B = {channel e, channel h, channel i}, CHNL_Bp = {}

DATA_B = {servicec, serviceback, service}, DATA_Bp = {serviceback}

On the other hand, preferred service configuration information VOD_AB, CHNL_AB, and DATA_AB by merging user A's personalized data and user B's personalized data may be set as follows.

VOD_AB = {VOD_A ∪ VOD_B}? {VOD_Ap ∪ VOD_Bp}

             = {CATEGORY B, CATEGORY C, CATEGORY}

CHNL_AB = {CHNL_B ∪ CHNL_B}? {CHNL_Ap ∪ CHNL_Bp}

        = {Channel c, channel e, channel i}

DATA_AB = {DATA_A ∪ DATA_B}? {DATA_Ap ∪ DATA_Bp}

        = {Service a, service c, service k}

As described above, personalization data including personalized service information, among the preferred service information set in the personalization data for users A and B, may be generated by merging personalization data, and a personalization environment reflecting the personalization data may be provided to the user.
