Description

用于位置移动播放系统的个人视频记录器功能性
相关申请交叉参考案
此申请案是2005年6月7日提出申请的序列号为11/147,664的美国专利申请案的部分接续申请案，所述申请案的全文以引用的方式并入本文中。
技术领域
本发明通常涉及媒体应用，且特定而言涉及使用位置移动播放系统中的个人视频记录器(PVR)功能性记录媒体节目。
背景技术
电视和其它视频内容逐渐地在移动装置上寻找到归宿，例如移动电话、个人数字助理(PDA)和个人视频播放器(PVP)。例如，不再仅在电视上寻找得到电视节目编排。通过计算机网络，以及其它传送机制，电视和其它媒体内容正逐渐地变得可在所述移动装置上获得。
随着用户变得更适应于移动装置上的视频经历，且随着移动存储装置解决方案(例如，可装卸快闪媒体和小的硬盘驱动)变得更强大且便宜，出现对将个人视频记录器(PVR)功能性添加到所述装置的需要。具有个人视频记录器功能性的装置可将数字格式的视频数据记录在数字存储装置(例如，计算机存储器、硬盘驱动)上。具有个人视频记录器功能性的装置可还提供其它控制特征，例如，回放、快进、倒回和暂停，加上跳跃到节目的任一部分而不必倒回或快进数据流的能力。
传统地，在例如机顶盒的装置中实施个人视频记录器功能性，所述装置物理地连接到媒体源(例如，电视电缆、卫星碟)、存储电视节目且将所存储的节目传输到输出装置，例如电视机。然而，现有个人视频记录器装置通常是固定的，且即使可将个人视频记录器装置运输到另一位置，却不能运输连接到所述个人视频记录器装置的媒体源。例如，一个人不能在旅途中获得家庭有线电视预订，即使理论上一个人可携带个人视频记录器装置。因为个人视频记录器装置在没有提供待记录的媒体的媒体源的情况下不能记录节目，因此传统的方法不能在移动装置中充分地提供个人视频记录器功能性。
因此，需要移动装置或在远离媒体源的位置处的装置上的个人视频记录器功能性以允许用户将媒体节目记录在所述装置上。
发明内容
本发明实施例提供与位置移动播放系统组合的个人视频记录器功能性以允许用户从远离媒体源的位置记录媒体节目。在一个实施例中，具有个人视频记录器功能性的位置移动播放系统的媒体播放器接收媒体节目调度信息并呈现给其用户。基于用户输入(或命令)，所述媒体播放器识别媒体节目和相关联的调度信息。当调度播放所述媒体节目时，所述媒体播放器请求媒体广播装置接收所述媒体节目，对所述媒体节目进行数字化、变码及/或变码流(如果需要)，且将其传输到所述媒体播放器。所述媒体播放器将所述媒体节目记录在本地存储装置中且在准备播放所述媒体节目时呈现通知。
在一个实施例中，所述媒体播放器从所述媒体节目的传输中断恢复且重新开始所述媒体节目的传输和记录。在另一实施例中，所述媒体播放器调节所述媒体节目的传输和记录以减少对所述媒体播放器执行的其它任务的影响。

处理器210可以是任何通用或专用处理器。在一个实施例中，存储装置260是硬盘驱动或能够存储数据的任何其它装置，例如固态存储器装置(例如，快闪存储器)。存储器250可以是(例如)固件、只读存储器(ROM)、非易失性随机存取存储器(NVRAM)及/或RAM，且保持处理器210使用的指令和数据。网络接口240将远程装置200耦合到网络140。总线220是用作电路径的电导体，信号从连接到所述总线的组件沿着电路径发送。显示器270是输出屏幕，其上显示可视信息。显示器270可以是触敏屏幕，用户可通过触摸显示器270与媒体播放器130互动。键盘230可以是按键电话的标准键板、QWERTY键盘或任何其它类型的输入装置。在许多实例中，远程装置200缺少图2中所示元件中的一者或一者以上，例如键盘230。
如所述技术中所已知，远程装置200适合执行计算机程序模块(若干个程序)。如本文所使用，术语“模块”是指用于提供规定的功能性的计算机程序逻辑及/或数据。模块可实施于硬体、固件及/或软体中。在一个实施例中，所述模块被存储在存储装置260上、被加载到存储器250中且由处理器210执行。
媒体播放器模块
图3是根据本发明实施例图解说明媒体播放器130模块的方框图。其它实施例具有额外的及/或不同于图式中显示的模块的模块。另外，功能性可以不同于此处所述的方式分布在模块中。此外，某些功能可由实体而非媒体播放器130提供。如图3中所图解说明，媒体播放器130包含个人视频记录器模块(还可称为远程客户端应用)310、输入/输出模块320和播放器模块330。
个人视频记录器模块310经设计以向媒体播放器130提供个人视频记录器功能性。个人视频记录器模块310包含调度程序模块312、连接管理器模块314、记录器模块316和通知程序模块318。个人视频记录器模块310的全部或若干部分可驻存在广播器120、远程装置200及/或中间装置上。例如，调度程序模块312、连接管理器模块314和通知程序模块318可驻存在远程装置200上，而记录器模块316可位于广播器120上。
调度程序模块312经配置以向媒体播放器130的用户提供源广播器待广播或在媒体源110处可用的媒体节目的调度信息。例如，调度程序模块312可显示来自媒体源110的一个或多个电视台及/或有线电视提供商的可用电视节目清单。调度程序模块312可检索来自EPG服务提供商的调度信息。另一选择是，调度程序模块312可检索来自外部源(例如，媒体源110及/或广播器120)或本地存储装置(例如，存储装置260)的调度信息。在一个实施例中，调度程序模块312可使用户能够执行搜索媒体节目的调度信息。
调度程序模块312还经配置以检索识别用于记录的媒体节目的用户输入。用户可选择调度信息中呈现的媒体节目中的一个、一系列或一部分。用户可通过输入/输出模块320作出选择。在一个实施例中，调度程序模块312可在不呈现调度信息的情况下接受识别媒体节目的用户输入。例如，用户可从朋友或TV指南杂志知晓媒体节目的调度并向调度程序模块312输入调度信息以识别所述媒体节目。用户也可输入与媒体记录相关联的其它信息。例如，如果用户期望在电视节目一播放时就可观看所述电视节目，那么用户可选择记录所述节目并给其指派高的优先级。作为另一个实例，用户可设置调度程序模块312以记录另一装置(例如，广播器120)上的媒体节目。
调度程序模块312将用户输入变换成可在广播器120中执行的命令集合。例如，用户输入可包含电视节目的经调度开始日期和时间、持续时间、信道编号、优选格式和优选的传输机制。对应的命令集合包含用于切换信道的命令、用于设置开始时间的命令、用于将电视节目转换成优选格式的命令和用于使用优选的传输机制将经转换的电视节目传输到媒体播放器130的命令。
调度程序模块312将命令集合传输到广播器120。在一个实施例中，调度程序模块312维持包含经选择以记录的所有媒体节目的调度日程。当选定的媒体节目经调度以进行播放时，调度程序模块312将对应的命令集合传输到广播器120以使得广播器120将所述媒体节目传输到媒体播放器130(或某些其它装置)或在本地记录所述媒体节目。另一选择是，程序调度模块312可在相关联媒体节目的经调度时间之前将命令集合传输到广播器120。广播器120可根据所述命令调度相关联媒体节目到媒体播放器130的传输。
连接管理器模块314经配置以使用网络接口240与广播器120建立连接。可通过连接管理器模块314或广播器120起始连接建立。在一个实施例中，连接管理器模块314可检测网络接口240所支持的网络协议(或通信协议)且使用所支持的网络协议来建立与广播器120的连接。连接管理器模块314可参与关于广播器120的授权过程以获得向广播器120传输命令及/或接受来自广播器120的媒体节目的许可。
记录器模块316经配置以将媒体节目记录在本地存储装置中。取决于记录器模块316的位置，其可将媒体节目记录在远程装置200、广播器120或中间装置的存储装置中。如以上参照图1中的广播器120所述，广播器120可将媒体节目作为一系列小的包中的媒体串流来传输。记录器模块316可在这些包到达时记录所述媒体节目。
通知程序模块318经配置以发出指示媒体节目被记录且准备好供用户欣赏的通知。例如，通知程序模块318可在媒体播放器130的显示器270上显示陈述电视节目准备好供观看的消息。通知程序模块318还可在完全记录媒体节目之前呈现通知。例如，如果用户为经调度的无线电节目指示高的优先级，那么通知程序模块318可在广播器120一开始向媒体播放器130传输所述无线电节目时就向用户呈现通知。此允许用户实时(或接近实时)地收听无线电节目。
输入/输出模块320经配置以接收用户输入并在媒体播放器130上呈现输出信息(例如，媒体节目、调度信息和通知)。输入/输出模块320可经由输入装置(例如键盘230、触敏屏幕、麦克风和摄像机)接收用户输入。输入/输出模块320可经由输出装置(例如显示器270)输出信息。在一个实施例中，输入/输出模块320可向外部装置(例如，扬声器、监视器和投影机)输出媒体节目。
播放器模块330经配置以播放从广播器120接收的媒体节目或本地记录的媒体节目。播放器模块330还可经配置以提供其它控制特征，例如回放、快进、倒回和暂停，加上跳跃到所记录的媒体节目的任一部分而不必在媒体播放器130上倒回或快进数据串流的能力。在一个实施例中，播放器模块330可播放媒体节目同时记录器模块316正记录所述媒体节目或其它媒体节目。
方法概述
图4是根据本发明的一个实施例用于在位置移动播放系统中记录媒体节目的示意性过程的流程图。可在软件、硬件或软件与硬件的组合中来实施此过程。
图4中所图解说明的过程以媒体播放器130接收410记录媒体节目的用户命令开始。在一个实施例中，媒体播放器130呈现媒体节目的调度信息以供用户进行选择。媒体播放器130可接收来自EPG服务提供商的调度信息。所显示的调度信息可包含媒体节目的题目、信道、风格、等级(例如，美国电影协会电影评级)和广播时间。用户可检查调度信息、执行搜索且对待记录在媒体播放器130上的媒体节目作出选择。
另一选择是，用户可将媒体节目的调度信息(例如时间和信道)输入到媒体播放器130中。用户还可提供其它信息，例如记录的优先级和视频质量。例如，用户可指示媒体播放器130在所识别的媒体节目一准备好可观看时就通知所述用户。作为另一个实例，用户可指示媒体播放器130以高质量记录所识别的视频节目以使得用户可在HDTV中播放所述视频节目。用户可作出选择及/或使用例如键盘和媒体播放器130的触敏屏幕的输入装置进行输入。
在另一个实施例中，用户可经由不同的界面(例如在不同装置(例如连接到网络的计算机)上的网页)输入用户命令。代管网页的网络服务器可通过网络140将用户命令传输到媒体播放器130。
媒体播放器130向广播器120请求420所识别的媒体节目。媒体播放器130基于所识别媒体节目的调度信息和用户的输入产生命令集合。所述命令集合指示广播器120接收(或检索)所识别的媒体节目、将所述媒体节目转换成媒体播放器130(或用户识别的其它装置)可接受的格式且将经转换的节目传输到媒体播放器130。在一个实施例中，当所识别的媒体节目经调度以通过媒体源110传输时，媒体播放器130向广播器120传输命令集合，所述命令集合请求广播器120开始接收来自媒体源的媒体节目，对所述媒体节目进行数字化、变码及/或变码流(如果需要)，且以数据串流方式将所述媒体节目的内容传输到媒体播放器130。在另一实施例中，所述命令集合可请求广播器120请求媒体源110切换到右信道以使得媒体源110接收所识别的媒体节目并将其传输到广播器120。
广播器120以数据串流方式向媒体播放器130传输430所识别的媒体节目。媒体播放器130接收数据串流并将所述媒体节目记录440在本地存储装置(例如，存储装置260)中。取决于个人视频记录器模块310如何分布(例如，在广播器120与媒体播放器130之间)和配置，媒体节目可被记录在广播器120、媒体播放器130或通过网络140可接入的某些其它装置中。
如以下更详细地描述，广播器120可在其接收到来自媒体源110的媒体节目时将所述媒体节目传输到媒体播放器130。另一选择是，广播器120可随时传输媒体节目，借此最小化对媒体播放器130的其它操作的影响。例如，远程装置200可以是智能电话，且用户可在驻存在所述电话上的媒体播放器正在后台接收并记录媒体节目的同时使用所述电话打电话。当媒体节目的传输中存在中断时(例如，失去蜂窝式网络连接)，广播器120可随后从先前被中断的传输停止的地方重新开始传输。在一个实施例中，媒体播放器可从中间装置(例如，网络上存储装置)而非位置移动播放装置接收数据串流。
当选定的媒体节目被记录及/或准备好供观看时媒体播放器130可向用户呈现通知。例如，媒体播放器可产生并显示识别所述媒体节目和指示其状态的消息(例如，刚刚已接收到最后24个片断并准备好观看)。此后，用户可决定离线播放媒体节目。作为另一实例，媒体播放器130可向用户供应经记录可播放媒体节目清单，借此允许用户浏览所记录节目的清单并选择一者以欣赏。
媒体播放器130接收450播放所记录的媒体节目的用户命令并播放460所记录的媒体节目。在一个实施例中，用户从所记录节目的清单中选择媒体节目。在另一实施例中，用户可选择当媒体节目正被媒体播放器130记录时播放所述媒体节目。
媒体内容的传输
可使用不同的通信协议(或网络协议)及/或网络来传输媒体节目。广播器120和媒体播放器130可支持多个通信协议(例如，以太网、WiMAX、WAN、Wi-Fi和蓝牙)且可通过多个网络进行通信。广播器120可使用一个或一个以上通信协议及/或网络传输媒体节目。
在一个实施例中，媒体播放器130可向广播器120发送命令，所述命令指示广播器120使用特定通信协议及/或网络。因此，媒体播放器130的用户可设置指示各种通信协议及/或网络中用户的优选的规则。例如，用户可设置当以太网和Wi-Fi两个通信协议都可用时指示广播器120使用以太网而非Wi-Fi来传输媒体节目的规则。用户还可设置通信协议及/或网络的约束条件。例如，用户可禁止广播器120在6AM与9PM之间使用蜂窝式网络传输媒体节目。用户还可规定传输的特定通信协议。例如，用户可为媒体节目设置低优先级，从而需要广播器120在整夜里在非高峰时间期间将所述媒体节目传输到蜂窝式电话以使得第二天用户可在所述蜂窝式电话上离线观看所述媒体节目。
媒体播放器130可在幕后(即，在主动地执行其它操作或任务时)接收并记录媒体节目。例如，取决于远程装置200执行媒体播放器130的能力，用户可在媒体播放器130正接收并记录来自广播器120的媒体节目时使用远程装置200来打电话、发送及/或接收电子邮件或短消息、浏览因特网或收听音乐。在一个实施例中，连接管理器模块314调节媒体节目的传输以使得所述传输和记录不影响(或最小程度地影响)其它任务。例如，当检测到用户正起始电话呼叫时，连接管理器模块314可暂时地停止(或中止)所述传输，将所述传输从使用蜂窝式网络切换成使用另一网络或降低传输速率。因此，可随时实现媒体节目传输和记录且不干涉远程装置200及/或媒体播放器130的其它操作。
在一个实施例中，在媒体节目的传输被中断之后，广播器120可将所述媒体节目(或其一部分)暂时地记录(或高速缓冲存储)在本地(内置或可拆卸)存储装置中。传输可被中断(例如，网络140可变得暂时不可用)或变慢(例如，媒体播放器130及/或执行媒体播放器130的装置200可能忙于执行其它任务)。因此，广播器120可将从媒体源110接收的媒体节目(或其一部分)记录在本地存储装置中以防止其丢失。一旦重新建立广播器120与媒体播放器130之间的连接，就可考虑先前被中断的传输停止的点重新开始媒体节目的传输。
如以上关于图3和4所解释，取决于个人视频记录器模块310如何分布和配置，广播器120可将媒体节目记录在本地存储装置或中间装置(例如，网络上存储装置(例如个人计算机)、网络接入服务器或存储区域网络)中。中间装置可向媒体播放器130提供个人视频记录器功能性。当用户希望从媒体播放器130接入媒体节目时，广播器120可通过在再打包并使来自中间装置的媒体节目流到媒体播放器130之前检索所述来自中间装置的媒体节目且对内容进行变码及/或变码流(如果需要)来担当媒体播放器130与中间装置之间的仲裁器。另一选择是，媒体播放器130可直接接入中间装置。例如，可指示广播器120将媒体节目传输到膝上型计算机(中间装置)。媒体播放器130可随后(或同时地)通过本地网络(例如，蓝牙)从膝上型计算机检索媒体节目。
