Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a system for set-top box activity recording and a method for activity recording generation, and more particularly, to an analysis system and an activity recording method for generating/collecting an activity record of a set-top box user of a set-top box application operating in the set-top box.
Background
Typical computer-centric applications have different forms of record generation/collection/analysis systems. In addition to the computer aspect, the Set Top Box (STB) hardware part consists of a limited throughput component part. In contrast, the set-top box applications are extremely limited in recording generation, and therefore early set-top boxes were equipped with a small-capacity memory chip and had to be extremely limited in recording storage area in hardware.
Undoubtedly, the record of the activities of the user of the set-top box can be stored in the memory, but in this case, the confusion caused by the cost of the set-top box also increases. For this reason, the system in the set-top box contains little activity record of the generating/collecting/analyzing client.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing a conventional software configuration for storing set-top box records. Referring to fig. 1, the set-top box software is mainly divided into an operating system, a device driver 10, middleware 20, and an application 30. The device driver is selected primarily based on the chip used, the operating system is selected based on set-top box manufacturer preferences, and the middleware 20 and the application 30 are selected based on cable services.
In the set-top box, the recording method and interface of the device driver follow the format designed by the chip manufacturer, the recording method and interface of the operating system follow the format designed by the selected operating system, and the recording and interface of the middleware 20 and the application 30 follow the format designed by the middleware 20.
In contrast, each software module is designed to provide a logging data connection interface to the software module thereon. That is, the upper level software module contains more records to link.
U.S. registration patent No. 5964839 relates to a data auditing and collecting system, which comprises a computer including more than a minimum device and communication peripheral devices connected to data in the computer; and executable files related to a set of desktop operations, and modem connectivity for data collection and storage and for monitoring operating systems; and monitoring the desktop activities and connections in the desktop application including the virtual device.
Meanwhile, korean laid-open patent No. 10-2004-37490 relates to all systems that individually provide an event logging API (application program interface) to a set-top box, and the event logging engine respectively includes logging events generated in the event logging API.
However, when the conventional set-top box described above has a very limited hardware composition, the composition of the call-back event that is originally made by the event logging engine may cause a problem in the throughput of the set-top box. Meanwhile, there is a problem that a method of storing a real activity record of a set-top box user is not proposed. There is no proposed method for storing a record of the actual activities of the user of the set-top box, the problems associated with the recording occurring at the set-top box and the problems associated with not considering the inherent characteristics of the application program of the set-top box, each API of the respective application programs developed differently should be continuously developed and completed in the inherent environment of the set-top box. As a result, there is a problem in that continuous development of digital television services is not considered.

Detailed Description
The details of the above-described objects, technical embodiments, and effects of the present invention can be more clearly understood by referring to the drawings showing desirable examples of the present invention and the following detailed description.
Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a set-top box activity recording system according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the set-top box activity recording system mainly comprises a set-top box 100, a set-top box activity record collecting server 110 for collecting the activity record of the user, a database 120 for storing the collected data, and a set-top box control device 130.
The set-top box 100 is used to provide a set-top application 140 and generate a set-top activity record 150, and the set-top box 100 includes a set-top plug-in 145 attached to the set-top application 140 and a set-top activity record 150 generated by the set-top plug-in 145 and stored in the set-top box 100.
In this case, the stb plug-in 145 generates the stb activity record 150, and the user of the stb 100 can operate the stb control device 130 through the stb operating device 190. The set-top box activity record privacy policy setting means 165 and the set-top box activity record policy means 160 are configured to provide confirmation of the privacy policy data 170 having policies permitted for the set-top box activity record 150 and to generate the set-top box activity record 150 only in the set-top box application 140 defined in the record generation and transmission policy data 175. By way of illustration, the set-top box activity recording policy mechanism 160 may be designed to be included as part of the set-top box application 140 in forming the set-top box application 140. Meanwhile, the set-top box activity record 150 generated by the set-top box plug-in program 145 is transmitted to the set-top box activity record collection server 110 by the set-top box activity record transmission device 155. The set-top box activity record collecting server 110 comprises a set-top box activity record receiving device 180 for storing the set-top box activity record 150 transmitted from the set-top box 100 into the database 120. Meanwhile, the set-top box activity record collecting server 110 also comprises a set-top box activity record policy setting device 185 for setting the data of the set-top box activity record policy device 160 of the set-top box 100.
Fig. 3 is a flow chart showing a set-top box activity record generation method. Referring to fig. 3, a set-top box user operates a set-top box control device 130 through a set-top box operating device 190 (S100), and in the set-top box 100, the set-top box application 140 must be executed in response to the control device 130 (S110). Thereafter, the corresponding set-top box application 140 calls the set-top box plug-in 145 (S120).
In the event that set-top application 140 attempts to call set-top plug-in 145, the data necessary for execution of set-top activity record 150 will be transferred. The table shows the data format that is passed from the set-top application 140 to the set-top plug-in 145, and this data format is augmented as needed for a particular application.

The items shown in table four above are items that would normally be generated in the situation where set-top box plug-in 145 generates set-top box activity record 150, including call items for set-top box application 140.
The corresponding items can be changed according to the change of the stb plug-in program 145, but the basic items all include the items in table four above.
After storing the data, the stb plug-in 145 ends the call (S190), the stb application 140 ends the operation (S200), and the stb 100 waits for the operation of the user (S210).
Fig. 4 is a flowchart showing privacy policy data setting according to the present invention. Referring to fig. 4, the set-top box user operates the set-top box 100 through the set-top box control device 130 (S300). At this time, the set-top box application 140 operates in response to the user request (S310), and the set-top box application 140 confirms whether the menu requested by the set-top box user corresponds to the set-top box record collection certification information screen (S320).
If the menu requested by the set-top box user does not correspond to the set-top box record collection certification information screen, the operation is terminated, and in the case where the menu requested by the set-top box user corresponds to the set-top box record collection certification information screen, the set-top box activity record privacy policy setting device 165 receives an input from the set-top box user, and corresponds to the contents in the second table, that is, the privacy policy data 170 (S330).
When the input is completed, the set-top box active record privacy policy setting device 165 confirms whether the privacy policy data 170 setting is changed (S340). If the privacy policy data 170 setting is not changed, the setting is ended without data change, and if the privacy policy data 170 setting is changed, the setting is ended after the set-top box record generation and transmission policy data 175 is changed (S350).
FIG. 5 is a flow chart illustrating record generation and transfer policy transfer according to the present invention. Referring to fig. 5, the set-top box activity recording policy setting device is connected to the set-top box activity recording policy device S400 in units of a day or a specially set period to detect whether the connection is normal S410, and if the connection is not normal, the connection is terminated, and if the connection is normal, whether the policy is changed is confirmed S420. If the policy is changed, the set-top box record generation/transmission policy is changed S430, and if the policy is not changed, the set-top box record generation/transmission policy is not changed.
Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing the transfer of a record according to the present invention. Referring to fig. 6, the set-top box activity record transmission means 155 confirms whether a set-top box activity record 150 exists (S500). If the set-top box activity record 150 does not exist, the set-top box activity record transmitting means 155 is ended, and if the set-top box activity record 150 exists, a connection to the set-top box activity record receiving means 180 is attempted (S510).
