Description

互動式媒體播放系統及其即時播放媒體專屬資訊之方法Interactive media player system and method for instantly playing media exclusive information

本發明係關於一種播放系統及其播放方法,尤指一種互動式媒體播放系統及其即時播放媒體所對應專屬資訊之方法。 The invention relates to a playing system and a playing method thereof, in particular to an interactive media playing system and a method for playing the exclusive information corresponding to the instant playing media.

受限於廣播電視法之規定「電視節目中不被允許有廣告行為」,因此電視節目內容之人、事、物、地等內容資訊皆不得於播出時詳細透露。若觀眾(使用者)對電視節目中所出現的商品、美食或風景名勝感興趣時,通常只能透過自行上網搜尋或詢問他人等方式來獲得想要的內容資訊。然而搜尋的過程往往相當費時,而且也不一定能找到想要的資訊,於是近年來逐漸有業者提供互動服務以提升觀眾獲得資訊的便利性,但現有技術中仍然存在諸多限制及無法解決的問題。 Subject to the provisions of the Broadcasting and Television Law, "Advertising is not allowed in TV programs." Therefore, content information such as people, events, objects, and places of TV program content may not be disclosed in detail when broadcasting. If the viewer (user) is interested in the products, food or scenic spots appearing on the TV program, they can usually obtain the desired content information by searching or asking others on the Internet. However, the search process is often time consuming and does not necessarily find the information you want. In recent years, there have been more and more providers providing interactive services to enhance the convenience of the audience to obtain information. However, there are still many limitations and problems that cannot be solved in the prior art. .

如我國新型專利權第M395875號「電視購物系統」(以下簡稱前案一),其使用具有螢幕的特製遙控器搭配連接網路的電腦,並將有線電視購物頻道或有線電視廣告中所販售的商品資訊顯示在遙控器上以供觀眾參考或購買,但是前案一並無法即時提供觀眾於不同頻道中各節目內出現的人、事、物、地等內容資訊,而且其主要技術也不適用於無線電視與網路電視(MOD);此外,目前的數位有線電視業者多採用混合光纖同軸(Hybrid Fiber Coaxial,HFC)纜線連接至一電子裝置的架構,並直接透過此纜線來傳送電視與網路訊號。然而在前案一中,觀眾還需額外添購一台電腦與一個特製遙控器才能應用前案一的技術,對於觀眾而言需付出的成本勢必非常高昂。 For example, China's new patent right M395875 "Television Shopping System" (hereinafter referred to as the previous case 1), which uses a special remote control with a screen to connect to a computer connected to the Internet, and will be sold in cable TV shopping channels or cable TV advertisements. The product information is displayed on the remote control for the viewer to refer to or purchase, but the previous case cannot provide the content information of people, things, things, land, etc. appearing in the programs of different channels, and the main technology is not Applicable to wireless TV and Internet TV (MOD); in addition, current digital cable operators use Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) cables to connect to an electronic device architecture and transmit directly through this cable. TV and internet signal. However, in the first case, the audience also needs to purchase an additional computer and a special remote control to apply the technology of the previous case. The cost to the audience is bound to be very high.

又如我國發明公開第201322740號「數位化電視廣告產品資訊顯示系統、方法及其記錄媒體」(以下簡稱前案二)、我國發明公開第 201319981號「電視廣告產品資訊顯示系統、方法及其記錄媒體」(以下簡稱前案三),前案二、前案三皆提出一種能夠取得播放媒體所屬產品之產品說明的技術,並將此產品說明呈現於播放裝置中。根據前案二、前案三的技術內容,其使用的伺服器於最初的時候會儲存有複數個播放媒體所對應的播放時間表以及其所對應的產品說明資料,其中播放時間表與產品說明資料具有無法同步的問題。該伺服器會根據前述幾項資料建立一種頻道廣告播放資料,該頻道廣告播放資料主要紀錄頻道媒體與產品說明資料之間的對應關係,然而該產品說明資料在前案二、前案三的技術中並不具備更新機制,因此頻道廣告播放資料內所記錄的對應關係會導致前案二、前案三無法正確提供不同電視節目中人、事、物、地等內容資訊;換言之,前案二、前案三的技術僅能提供電視廣告中的產品說明資料,卻無法正確提供任意電視節目的內容資訊。必須進一步說明的是,電視廣告的特性是播出內容不變,但是播出的頻道與時間會改變;而電視節目的特性正好與電視廣告相反,電視節目的播出內容每集皆會改變,但是播出的頻道與時間通常不會改變。因此如果只有更新播放時間表,伺服器仍會持續提供過時的產品說明資料至同一播放媒體(電視節目),導致觀眾會接收到錯誤或過時的節目內容資訊。 Another example is China's invention and publication No. 201322740 "Digital TV advertising product information display system, method and recording media" (hereinafter referred to as the previous case 2), China's invention disclosure 201319981 "Television Advertising Product Information Display System, Method and Recording Media" (hereinafter referred to as the previous case 3), the former case 2 and the former case 3 all propose a technology capable of obtaining the product description of the product to which the media belongs, and this product is The description is presented in the playback device. According to the technical content of the previous case 2 and the previous case 3, the server used by the server initially stores the play schedule corresponding to the plurality of play media and the corresponding product description data, wherein the play schedule and product description The data has an issue that cannot be synchronized. The server will establish a channel advertisement playing data according to the foregoing several items, and the channel advertisement playing data mainly records the correspondence between the channel media and the product description data, but the product description data is in the technology of the previous case 2 and the previous case 3. There is no update mechanism in it, so the corresponding relationship recorded in the channel advertisement play data will lead to the fact that the previous case 2 and the previous case 3 cannot correctly provide the content information of people, things, things, land, etc. in different TV programs; in other words, the previous case 2 The technology of the previous case 3 can only provide the product description information in the TV advertisement, but cannot correctly provide the content information of any TV program. It must be further explained that the characteristics of TV commercials are that the broadcast content remains the same, but the broadcasted channels and time will change; while the characteristics of TV programs are exactly the opposite of TV advertisements, the broadcast content of TV programs will change every episode. But the channel and time of the broadcast usually do not change. Therefore, if only the update schedule is updated, the server will continue to provide outdated product description data to the same broadcast media (television program), causing the viewer to receive incorrect or outdated program content information.

再如我國發明公開第201308985號「即時播送內容的網路商業互動系統與方法」(以下簡稱前案四),其提出一種即時播送內容的網路商業互動系統與方法,主要係將一應用程式安裝於一通訊裝置中(如智慧型手機或電腦),且經由該通訊裝置建立一介面以顯示關於廣播內容的商業訊息。但是當觀眾看電視時係無法直接透過電視畫面與其中的內容進行互動,而且觀眾所得到的商業訊息僅包含節目名稱、播送時間、分段時間播送之廣告或購物資訊,並非是精準的節目內容資訊。此外,前案四無法自動提供使用者當下所收看電視節目的內容資訊,需要事先由觀眾自行上網搜尋並加入與節目名稱對應的社 群群組,才能獲得前述的商業訊息,仍需自行搜尋的方式對於觀眾而言係相當不便利。 Another example is China's invention No. 201308985, "Internet commercial interaction system and method for instant broadcast content" (hereinafter referred to as the previous case four), which proposes an online commercial interaction system and method for instantly broadcasting content, mainly for an application. It is installed in a communication device (such as a smart phone or a computer), and an interface is established via the communication device to display a commercial message about the broadcast content. However, when viewers watch TV, they cannot directly interact with the content through the TV screen, and the commercial information obtained by the viewer only includes the program name, broadcast time, time-scheduled advertisement or shopping information, not accurate program content. News. In addition, the former case 4 cannot automatically provide the content information of the TV program currently watched by the user, and it is necessary for the viewer to search for the Internet and join the company corresponding to the program name in advance. In order to obtain the aforementioned commercial information, the group group still needs to search for itself, which is quite inconvenient for the audience.

由上述現有技術可知,若觀眾對電視節目中出現的商品、美食或風景名勝感興趣時,只能透過自行上網搜尋、詢問他人等方式來獲得想要的資訊。即使前案一可在遙控器上顯示資訊,但是仍無法即時提供觀眾於不同頻道中各節目內出現的人、事、物、地等內容資訊;而前案二、前案三雖然可呈現一種廣告產品說明,卻無法正確提供所有不同電視節目之內容資訊。而且電視節目的特性與電視廣告又完全不同,由於電視節目的播出內容每集皆會改變,因此產品說明資料若不具備更新機制,會導致觀眾持續接收到錯誤或過時的節目內容資訊;前案四不僅無法提供觀眾與正在收看的電視畫面進行互動,還需由觀眾事先自行上網搜尋並加入與節目名稱對應的社群群組,才能獲得與節目相關的商業訊息;綜上所述,習知的技術確實有待提出更佳解決方案的必要性。 It can be seen from the above prior art that if a viewer is interested in goods, food, or scenic spots appearing in a television program, he or she can only obtain the desired information by searching and asking others on the Internet. Even if the previous case can display information on the remote control, it is still unable to provide the content information of people, things, objects, and places appearing in the programs of different channels in real time; while the former case 2 and the former case 3 can present a kind of information. The advertising product description does not provide the content information of all the different TV programs correctly. Moreover, the characteristics of TV programs are completely different from those of TV commercials. Since the broadcast content of TV programs will change every episode, if the product description data does not have an update mechanism, the viewer will continue to receive incorrect or outdated program content information. Case 4 not only fails to provide viewers with the TV screens they are watching, but also requires the audience to search the Internet and join the community group corresponding to the program name in advance to obtain the business information related to the program. In summary, Known technology does have to be a necessity for a better solution.

有鑑於上述現有技術之問題,本發明主要目的係提供一種互動式媒體播放系統及其即時播放媒體專屬資訊之方法,可提供使用者所觀看媒體的專屬內容資訊(以下簡稱媒體專屬資訊),實現供使用者於隨選不同媒體時皆可自主接收與該媒體相對應之內容資訊,讓使用者無須另外費時地搜尋資料,而能夠於觀賞媒體時同步獲得想知道的內容資訊,並且以可更新的機制確保媒體專屬資訊的正確性。 In view of the above problems of the prior art, the main object of the present invention is to provide an interactive media playing system and a method for playing the media exclusive information in real time, which can provide exclusive content information (hereinafter referred to as media exclusive information) of the media viewed by the user, and realize The user can independently receive the content information corresponding to the media when the different media are selected, so that the user can search for the content without knowing time, and can obtain the content information that is desired to be known while viewing the media, and can be updated.
