內容導向控制 Content-oriented control

如同此處所述,內容導向控制(CBC)可包含根據通道上傳播的內容之決定以控制配置100中的裝置的操作。如同此處所述,通道定義為與內容提供方相關連的進入內容的串流。與通道相關連的內容提供方的實例可包含但不限於電視節目廣播方、有線電視操作方、衛星電視節目提供方、以網際網路為基礎的節目提供方、等等。 As described herein, content-directed control (CBC) can include decisions based on content propagated on the channel to control the operation of the devices in configuration 100. As described herein, a channel is defined as a stream of incoming content associated with a content provider. Examples of content providers associated with a channel may include, but are not limited to, a television program broadcaster, a cable television operator, a satellite television program provider, an internet based program provider, and the like.

很多內容提供方在它們的通道上播放廣告。雖然廣告對於使用者是不方便及/或擾人的,但是,內容提供方可從包含廣告而獲得收入。因此,內容提供方沒有動機消除或甚至限制通道上的廣告量。假使使用者對廣告沒興趣,則當廣告在通道上傳播時,使用者可以觀視其它內容、漫遊網際網路、等等。在一個實施例中,偵測及監視廣告,當廣告在通道上傳播時,允許使用者進行其它活動,並且,當廣告完成時,告知使用者,使得在通道上的內容觀視可以繼續。 Many content providers play advertisements on their channels. While advertising is inconvenient and/or confusing to the user, the content provider can earn revenue from the inclusion of the advertisement. Therefore, the content provider has no incentive to eliminate or even limit the amount of advertising on the channel. If the user is not interested in the advertisement, the user can view other content, roam the Internet, etc. as the advertisement spreads on the channel. In one embodiment, the advertisement is detected and monitored, allowing the user to perform other activities as the advertisement propagates over the channel, and, when the advertisement is completed, notifying the user that content viewing on the channel can continue.

圖10顯示根據至少一實施例的內容導向控制(CBC)的實例。PD 112可被配置成經由例如無線耦合 146(顯示於圖1中,為簡明起見,在圖10中省略)而與SVD 102中的內容辨識模組1000互動。內容辨識模組1000也可被配置成經由存取點110及網際網路122(顯示於圖1中,為簡明起見,在圖10中省略)而與雲端計算/網路服務132。在PD 112中可自動地或手動地致動CBC。舉例而言,當PD 112感測到SVD 102上被觀視的通道改變時,自動致動可被作動。舉例而言,藉由受PD功能之控制216(舉例而言,如圖2所示),執行感測通道改變。手動致動可包含PD 112中實體介面的配置(例如,按下按鍵)或是以碼為基礎的鍵、開關、等等。手動致動也可包含臉部/姿勢辨識服務218(例如,如圖2中所示),以辨識使用者所作之特定的臉部表情、手勢、等等是與PD 112中CBC的致動相關連。 FIG. 10 shows an example of Content Oriented Control (CBC) in accordance with at least one embodiment. The PD 112 can be configured to communicate via, for example, wireless 146 (shown in FIG. 1, omitted for simplicity in FIG. 10) interacts with the content recognition module 1000 in the SVD 102. The content recognition module 1000 can also be configured to communicate with the cloud computing/network service 132 via the access point 110 and the Internet 122 (shown in FIG. 1, omitted for simplicity in FIG. 10). The CBC can be actuated automatically or manually in the PD 112. For example, when the PD 112 senses that the channel being viewed on the SVD 102 changes, the automatic actuation can be actuated. For example, sensing channel changes are performed by control of the PD function 216 (as shown, for example, in Figure 2). Manual actuation may include configuration of a physical interface in the PD 112 (eg, pressing a button) or code based keys, switches, and the like. Manual actuation may also include a face/posture recognition service 218 (eg, as shown in FIG. 2) to identify that a particular facial expression, gesture, etc. made by the user is related to actuation of the CBC in the PD 112. even.

CBC的致動可促使PD 112傳送CBC指令1002(例如,CBC指令1、CBC指令2...CBC指令n),以指令內容在通道上被取樣(例如,以便決定何時某內容在通道上完成)。CBC指令1002可由PD 112依例如每十秒之間隔1004而被傳送。間隔1004可以是預定的、可以是自動地配置(例如,根據裝置處理容量及/或通訊頻寬的可用度)、由PD 112或SVD 102中的使用者所手動地配置、等等。在一個實施例中,CBC指令1002可辨識要取樣的通道(例如,當CBC被致動時在SVD 102上正被觀視的通道)。在相同的或另一實施例中,CBC指令1002又可辨識某內容(例如,控制根據的內容)、等等。替代地, 某內容可以在內容辨識模組1000中被界定(舉例而言,假使控制總是根據廣告)、可以由PD 112或SVD 102中的使用者配置、等等。內容辨識模組1000可接收CBC指令1002、從被辨識的通道取樣內容、及傳送內容取樣1006給雲端計算/網路伺服器132(例如,取樣1、取樣2...取樣n)。內容取樣及傳送可由例如SVD視頻/影像/資料服務234(例如,如圖2所示)所執行。 Actuation of the CBC may cause the PD 112 to transmit a CBC command 1002 (eg, CBC command 1, CBC command 2 ... CBC command n) to instruct the content to be sampled on the channel (eg, to determine when something is completed on the channel) ). The CBC command 1002 can be transmitted by the PD 112 at intervals of, for example, 1004 every ten seconds. Interval 1004 may be predetermined, may be automatically configured (eg, based on device processing capacity and/or availability of communication bandwidth), manually configured by a user in PD 112 or SVD 102, and the like. In one embodiment, the CBC command 1002 can identify the channel to be sampled (eg, the channel being viewed on the SVD 102 when the CBC is actuated). In the same or another embodiment, the CBC instruction 1002 can in turn identify certain content (eg, content under control), and the like. Alternatively, Some content may be defined in the content recognition module 1000 (for example, if the control is always based on the advertisement), may be configured by the user in the PD 112 or SVD 102, and the like. The content recognition module 1000 can receive the CBC command 1002, sample content from the identified channel, and transmit the content sample 1006 to the cloud computing/network server 132 (eg, sample 1, sample 2, sample n). Content sampling and transmission can be performed by, for example, an SVD video/image/data service 234 (e.g., as shown in FIG. 2).

如同與圖2中的視頻/影像/資料服務214相關的說明所述般,雲端計算/網路伺服器132可包含配置成辨識內容及/或取得與內容相關連的元資料之搜尋服務。在從內容辨識模組1000可接收內容取樣1006時,雲端計算/網路伺服器132可辨識內容取樣1006從其中被取樣的內容、以及傳送資訊1008(例如,資訊1、資訊2...資訊n)給內容辨識模組1000,其中,資訊1008可辨識及/或提供關於內容取樣1006之元資料。內容辨識模組1000接著可被配置成根據雲端計算/網路伺服器132提供的資訊1008以決定某內容(例如,廣告)是否已在通道上結束。舉例而言,內容辨識模組接收資訊1008,允許其決定節目內容在通道上恢復。內容辨識模組1000接著可傳送內容完成訊息1010給PD 112。 As described with respect to the video/image/data service 214 in FIG. 2, the cloud computing/web server 132 can include a search service configured to identify content and/or obtain metadata associated with the content. Upon receiving the content sample 1006 from the content recognition module 1000, the cloud computing/network server 132 can identify the content from which the content sample 1006 was sampled, and transmit the information 1008 (eg, information 1, information 2... information) n) to the content recognition module 1000, wherein the information 1008 can identify and/or provide metadata about the content sample 1006. The content recognition module 1000 can then be configured to determine whether a content (eg, an advertisement) has ended on the channel based on the information 1008 provided by the cloud computing/web server 132. For example, the content recognition module receives the information 1008, allowing it to determine that the program content is restored on the channel. The content recognition module 1000 can then transmit a content completion message 1010 to the PD 112.

在接收到內容完成訊息1010時,PD 112可致動通知1012。通知1012向PD 112的使用者可標示某內容在通道上完成(例如,廣告結束及/或節目內容在通道上恢復)。可經由PD 112中的使用者介面來提供通知1012。 使用者介面可包含典型上與智慧型手機、行動電話、等等相關連的元件,包括例如顯示器、LED等等視覺元件、例如揚聲器等聽覺元件、及/或例如配置成促使PD 112振動之機電組件等觸覺元件。通知1012可包含視覺、聽覺或觸覺警告的其中至少之一,舉例而言,包含照明的及/或閃光標示器、噪音、警報、振動、等等。在一個實施例中,以碼為基礎的標示器可以顯示在使用者介面上,標示某內容(例如,廣告)在通道上完成、以及藉由觸碰以碼為基礎的標示器而使通道顯示在SVD 102中。假使使用者繼續進行以觸碰以碼為基礎的標示器,則受PD功能的控制216(例如,如圖2所示)接著促使SVD 102顯示通道。在另一實施例中,PD 112除了提供通知給使用者之外,也可自動地促使SVD 102顯示通道。 Upon receiving the content completion message 1010, the PD 112 can actuate the notification 1012. The notification 1012 to the user of the PD 112 can indicate that the content is completed on the channel (eg, the end of the advertisement and/or the content of the program is restored on the channel). Notification 1012 can be provided via a user interface in PD 112. The user interface may include elements typically associated with smart phones, mobile phones, and the like, including visual elements such as displays, LEDs, etc., auditory elements such as speakers, and/or electromechanical devices configured to cause vibration of the PD 112, for example. A tactile component such as a component. The notification 1012 can include at least one of a visual, audible, or tactile warning, for example, including illuminated and/or flashing markers, noise, alarms, vibrations, and the like. In one embodiment, the code-based marker can be displayed on the user interface, indicating that a content (eg, an advertisement) is completed on the channel, and that the channel is displayed by touching the code-based marker. In the SVD 102. If the user continues to touch the code-based marker, the PD-enabled control 216 (e.g., as shown in FIG. 2) then causes the SVD 102 to display the channel. In another embodiment, the PD 112 may automatically cause the SVD 102 to display channels in addition to providing notifications to the user.

雖然內容辨識模組1000被揭示為完全設於SVD 102中,但是,各式各樣的實施例不限於此配置。取決於例如各裝置的能力,由內容辨識模組1000執行的功能也可在PD 112與SVD 102之間被分割。舉例而言,假使SVD 102未具有處理容量以取樣內容及/或傳送內容取樣給雲端計算/網路伺服器132時,這些操作的其中之一或二者可由PD 112所執行(舉例而言,如圖2中所示,由PD視頻/影像/資料服務214執行)。假使PD 112可被配置成至少執行內容取樣操作,則額外的功能也提供給使用者以觀視及/或標註內容取樣。舉例而言,使用者觀視內容取樣、辨識取樣與某內容相關連的取樣(例如,辨識為廣 告)、然後在傳送至雲端計算/網路服務器132之前將取樣註解以標示取樣與廣告、廣告有關的產品/服務等等相關連。提供使用者遞交輸入(例如,也稱為「聚集源(crowd sourcing)」)的能力增加雲端計算/網路伺服器132中可取得的知識、並因而增加CBC的準確度及/或速度。此外,由PD 112單獨地或部份地處理某內容在通道上是否完成之最終決定。 Although the content recognition module 1000 is disclosed as being completely disposed in the SVD 102, various embodiments are not limited to this configuration. The functions performed by the content recognition module 1000 may also be split between the PD 112 and the SVD 102 depending on, for example, the capabilities of the various devices. For example, if SVD 102 does not have processing capacity to sample content and/or transmit content samples to cloud computing/network server 132, one or both of these operations may be performed by PD 112 (for example, As shown in FIG. 2, executed by PD video/image/data service 214). In case the PD 112 can be configured to perform at least a content sampling operation, additional functionality is also provided to the user to view and/or annotate the content samples. For example, the user views the content, and samples the samples associated with the content (for example, the identification is wide). The report is then annotated to indicate that the sample is related to the advertisement, the product/service associated with the advertisement, etc., prior to transmission to the cloud computing/web server 132. Providing the ability for the user to submit input (e.g., also referred to as "crowd sourcing") increases the knowledge available in the cloud computing/network server 132 and thus increases the accuracy and/or speed of the CBC. In addition, the PD 112 individually or partially processes the final decision as to whether a content is completed on the channel.

從PD 112的觀點之CBC操作實例的流程圖係顯示於圖11中。在操作1100中,可致動CBC。如上所述般,CBC致動可自動地或手動地發生。然後,在操作1102中,PD 112可傳送CBC指令訊息。然後,在操作1104中,可決定在PD 112中是否接收到標示某內容(例如,廣告)在通道上完成之訊息。假使在操作1104中判定尚未接收到訊息,則PD 112可在操作1106中延遲一間隔,所述間隔係設定成用於CBC指令傳送。跟隨在間隔之後,在操作1102中可傳送另一CBC指令。替代地,假使在操作1104中,可判定在PD 112中接收到標示某內容在通道上完成的訊息,則在操作1108中致動通知,可通知向使用者標示某內容完成。伴隨著顯示通道的選項,可提供通知,自動地顯示通道、等等。 A flow chart of the CBC operation example from the viewpoint of the PD 112 is shown in FIG. In operation 1100, the CBC can be actuated. As described above, CBC actuation can occur automatically or manually. Then, in operation 1102, the PD 112 can transmit a CBC command message. Then, in operation 1104, it may be determined whether a message indicating that the content (eg, an advertisement) is completed on the channel is received in the PD 112. In the event that it is determined in operation 1104 that the message has not been received, the PD 112 may delay an interval in operation 1106 that is set for CBC command transmission. Following the interval, another CBC command can be transmitted in operation 1102. Alternatively, if, in operation 1104, it may be determined that a message indicating completion of the content on the channel is received in the PD 112, then the notification is actuated in operation 1108 to notify the user that the content is complete. Along with the options for displaying channels, notifications can be provided, channels can be automatically displayed, and so on.

SVD 102的觀點之CBC操作實例的流程圖係顯示於圖12中。在操作1200中,在SVD 102中可接收CBC指令。在操作1202中,來自通道的內容(例如,標示在接收到的CBC指令中的通道)被取樣,以及內容取樣被傳 送(例如,傳送至雲端計算/網路伺服器132)。然後,在操作1204中,SVD 102可接收與先前傳送的內容取樣有關的資訊(例如來自雲端計算/網路伺服器132)。在操作1206中,接著可根據某內容(例如廣告)是否在通道上完成的接收到資訊,作出決定。假使在操作1206判定某內容在通道上未完成(例如,廣告仍然在通道中傳播),則處理回至操作1200,準備接收進一步的CBC指令。假使在操作1206中決定某內容在通道上完成時,則在操作1208中,可傳送內容完成訊息。 A flow chart of the CBC operation example of the viewpoint of the SVD 102 is shown in FIG. In operation 1200, a CBC command can be received in the SVD 102. In operation 1202, the content from the channel (eg, the channel indicated in the received CBC command) is sampled, and the content sample is transmitted. Sent (eg, to the cloud computing/web server 132). Then, in operation 1204, the SVD 102 can receive information related to previously transmitted content samples (eg, from the cloud computing/web server 132). In operation 1206, a decision can then be made based on whether a piece of content (eg, an advertisement) has received information on the channel. If at operation 1206 it is determined that something is not complete on the channel (eg, the advertisement is still propagating in the channel), then processing returns to operation 1200 to prepare to receive further CBC instructions. In the event that it is determined in operation 1206 that a certain content is completed on the channel, then in operation 1208, a content completion message may be transmitted.
