Description

IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE WITH AUTOMATIC SEARCH QUERY UPDATE FUNCTION
The present invention relates to an image display device having an automatic alternative broadcast program offering function such that the users are offered a certain number of alternative programs.
Digital and interactive TV systems provide a significant amount of TV channels and programs leading to the general outcome that conventional methods for reaching a program content corresponding to the personal viewing preferences of a user from among a plurality of alternatives may become inefficient to the extent it is unperformable in a time-saving manner. Assuming that a TV service may have hundreds of channels, channel surfing might take one hour before every single channel is glanced at least once. It is to be noted that a plurality of channels from different countries may be broadcasted in a multitude of categories and an electronic program guide, although proving in this respect more efficient, still involves the evident disadvantage of processing time inefficiency for a user in order for examining all the electronic program guide pages.
Accordingly, individual viewing preferences of users can be better processed and more relevant program content can be offered to the user without losing the processing time spent in hunting preferable program contents.
Among others, one of the prior art disclosures in the technical field of the present invention can be referred to as WO2009145507, which relates to a method for outputting an EPG and a broadcasting receiver employing the method. More particularly, a method for outputting an EPG and a broadcasting receiver employing the method are disclosed, in which the EPG output from the broadcasting receiver includes RSS information to allow a user to easily identify the RSS information from the EPG.
The present invention, on the other hand, provides a system and a method by which an image display device is operated such that users are offered an alternative list of program contents.
The present invention therefore provides a system and method by which an image display device is operable to offer alternative program contents as provided by the characterizing features defined in Claim 1 and subsequent Clams.
Primary object of the present invention is to provide a system and method by which an image display device automatically proposes a certain number of program contents.
The present invention proposes an image display device which automatically monitors users’ viewing activity and prioritizes search results on a real-time basis such that an automatic list of alternative programs is generated. This is accomplished by way of obtaining information tags via the electronic program guide. The full content of the information tags directly provided by the service provider in relation with each program content is stored in association with total watching durations so that a look-up table in the form of information tags and total watching durations is obtained. Information tags can be program categories, actor names or any other information as provided by the broadcast service provider.
When the user submits a specific search query, the image display device analyzes current and upcoming program contents and if a program content having information tags matching with the queried search term is detected, the programs in the result list is arranged such that programs matching with the available information tags saved in the user profile are given higher priority.
Accompanying drawings are given solely for the purpose of exemplifying a system and method by which an image display device is operable, whose advantages over prior art were outlined above and will be explained hereinafter in brief.
The drawings are not meant to delimit the scope of protection as identified in the claims nor should they be referred to alone in an effort to interpret the scope identified in said claims without recourse to the technical disclosure in the description of the present invention.
Fig. 1 demonstrates a general diagram according to which the image display device of the invention executes the program prioritizing function according to the present invention.
According to the present invention, a result list is generated based on earlier viewing history so that the user can reach alternative channels/programs in a facilitated manner.
The present invention proposes an image display device enabling a user to reach a TV program according to his personal preferences without having to manually process a significant amount of channel and program type information. It is known that digital broadcasting services provide information in regards to the genre of the programs being watched. The genre information may typically define a certain number of categories characterizing the content of a program. A content identifier therefore describes the contextual category of the digital program so as to let the users obtain information as to the classification of an event or a program.
A significant amount of data in the form of metadata information containing a multitude of attribute names, types and parameter descriptions is also receivable from the broadcast service provider by way of using the electronic program guide. These information tags comprise a plurality of titles directly obtainable from the broadcaster. Information tags obtained by means of the electronic program guide in association with a given program content are processed in a dynamic manner.
Therefore, a plurality of programs are assigned to various program genres and the image display device stores a database of various programs categorized in the form of a plurality of program genres indicative of the contextual character of the given program. Additional information provided by the electronic program guide in the form of information tags along with the program category information is processed as explained below.
The image display device of the present invention is fitted with an internal memory so as to store the information tags of viewed programs, including total watching time of each program for a respective category and information tag. More precisely, total watching time is known for each information tag including the genre information.
According to the present invention, when the user enters a search query, the user’s viewing experience is improved by providing more preferable results based on earlier viewing habits as delineated below. The present invention proposes an image display device enabling a user to reach preferred program contents according to his personal preferences in a more practical and accurate manner.
In a more specific manner, in a documentary program presenting architectural background of a city in a certain geographic region of a country, the name of the city and the genre of the program can be retrieved from the electronic program guide as the available information tags to be associated with the user’s profile, corresponding to the specific interests of the user. It is to be noted that information tags are added to the user profile only for the programs being watched during at least a predetermined time duration. These information tags being added to the user profile, when the user enters a search query, information tags of programs being currently not viewed are analyzed to identify matching titles. In case a matching title is identified between the queried search terms and the information tags of the current or upcoming programs, the suggested programs are automatically added to the result list in a hierarchical order based on information tags in the user profile. The information tags may include all information as provided by the electronic program guide pages, such as for instance actor names along with movie categories.
Therefore, the present invention provides that information tags associated with earlier viewing statistics are used as an input to prioritize suggested program contents.
In a nutshell, the present invention proposes an image display device receiving a plurality of broadcasting services and comprising a control unit effecting operation of said image display device.
In one embodiment of the present invention, said control unit is configured to receive at least one information tag from a broadcasting service provider to be associated with a program content being viewed.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, said control unit is further configured to generate a list of user profile information tags in the manner that information tags of all programs being viewed are associated with a user profile.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, said control unit is further configured to generate a result list in response to a search query submitted by a user, said result list being configured such that said control unit analyzes current and upcoming program contents and if a current or upcoming program content having information tags matching with the queried search term is detected, the programs in said result list is arranged such that programs matching with the available information tags saved in the user profile are given higher priority.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, said control unit is further configured to automatically and periodically search a previously queried search term and update said result list. This step is crucial in that the user is provided with an automatic update of possibly interesting content based on earlier viewing history, on a real-time basis and in dependence with the queried search term so that content both currently desired and having relevance due to past viewing statistics is reached. Therefore, timely communication of the information is ensured.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, said control unit is further configured to generate a visual or audio indication each time a new program content is added to said result list.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, said control unit is further configured to preview program contents in said result list in a hierarchical manner.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, visual or audio indication being generated is in the form of a flashing geometrical shape generated on the screen of the image display device.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, visual or audio indication being generated is a flashing or illuminated button on the remote control.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, flashing or illuminated button on the remote control is a button dedicated for automatic previewing of program contents in said result list.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, program contents in the result list are viewable in a separate window on the actual program content being viewed.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, a method for operating an image display device is proposed, said method comprising the steps of (a) determining at least one information tag from a broadcasting service provider to be associated with a program content being viewed, (b) generating a list of user profile information tags in the manner that information tags of all programs being viewed are associated with a user profile, (c) generating a result list in response to a search query submitted by a user, said result list being configured such that said control unit analyzes current and upcoming program contents and if a current or upcoming program content having information tags matching with the queried search term is detected, the programs in said result list is arranged such that programs matching with the available information tags saved in the user profile are given higher priority and (d) automatically and periodically searching a previously queried search term and updating said result list.
Therefore, user-interaction is improved in the sense that the viewing records serve as a direct source of information for automatically prioritizing list of alternative program contents to be delivered to the users. Assuming that a TV service may have hundreds of channels, there might be many occasions where a user may be interested in watching a broadcast program relating to his interests but he is only able to use conventional methods to directly manually review presented contents on each channel. Accurately prioritized and notified alternative programs provide an advantageous aspect that allows timely communication of the information to the user.
