Figure 1 shows that according to the prompting program information device of one embodiment of the invention and the schematic diagram of coupling mode thereof.In this figure, indicate 100 and be described prompting program information device, indicate 200 and then be TV.Following elder generation is simply introduced at the member of prompting program information device 100.
Prompting program information device 100 includes user's identification unit 110, storage element 120 and control unit 130.User's identification unit 110 is in order to differentiate the user, and it can utilize fingerprint identifier, biological identification device, pupil identifier or the automatic construct system of three-dimensional environment to realize.About the automatic construct system of three-dimensional environment, the Prime Sense company of Israel has had correlation technique.Storage element 120 is in order to storing individualized program database 122 (appearance aftermentioned), and stored electrons listing (electronicprogram guide is called for short EPG) 124 or similar electronic type listing.As for control unit 130, it is recorded in individualized program database 122 in order to the watching habit with the user, differentiates user's program preferences according to this, and according to user's program preferences and on the screen 210 of TV 200 the relevant program message of prompting.
Figure 2 shows that an execution mode of individualized program database 122.Please according to the explanation needs and with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.In this example, the mode of control unit 130 record users' watching habit is the channel and the period of adopting the record user to watch at ordinary times.For instance, when a boy in 9 o'clock to 10 o'clock certain Monday morning in summer vacation and 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock morning priority watch the program that the 70th channel (CH 70) and the 72nd channel (CH 72) are broadcasted, and this boy is after the process identification, and 130 judgements of Be Controlled unit are the user A in the individualized program database 122.So control unit 130 just can be recorded in the period that the 70th channel, the 72nd channel and this two channels that this boy watched are watched in the individualized program database 122.
When this boy 14 o'clock to 16 o'clock afternoon of this day, and 19 o'clock to 20 o'clock evening is when opening the program that TV watching the 70th channel (CH 70) and the 54th channel (CH 54) broadcasted again respectively, equally must be through the differentiation of identity, and control unit 130 still can and watch that the period of these two channels is recorded in the individualized program database 122 with the 70th channel, the 54th channel that this boy watched.
Suppose that above-mentioned boy is seeing TV every day, so in Fig. 2, also can be more and more complete about this boy's (user A just) rating record, in figure, shown in the channel and period that user A watched Monday to Sunday.Because electric program guide 124 can provide multiple TV program information, the programm name of the program that in recent weeks, will play of each channel for example, program category, broadcast slot, the film outline is introduced, featured performer is introduced, the grade of TV programme under classifying system etc., therefore as long as the channel that control unit 130 is watched this boy at ordinary times and the TV program information of period and electric program guide 124 are compared, just can for example differentiate his program preferences according to a specific reductive analysis rule according to the rating time length of program or the frequency of watching of program.
In Fig. 2, give an example about this boy's rating record.Know clearly and see Fig. 2, can find that in the time on Monday to Sunday, this boy often watches the program that the 70th channel is broadcasted.And if this boy was watched in the period and electric program guide 124 of the 70th channel, broadcast slot about each program of this channel is compared, just can obtain at least one programm name, for example " U.S.'s duty rod broadcast program ", and in order to the program preferences as this boy.Even, can again other pertinent program information of same class programm name be compared, for example compare the programme content that title is similarly " U.S.'s duty rod broadcast program ", to obtain more to advance any program preferences information of rank, what for example obtain " relaying live of baseballer's Wang Jianmin " this class advances rank program preferences information.
Referring again to Fig. 1.Therefore, after control unit 130 determines this boy's program preferences, just can according to he program preferences and on the screen 210 of TV 200 the relevant program message of prompting, for example on screen 210, show " the 70th channel will be 9 o'clock sharps of morning; broadcast U.S. duty rod Major Leagues, the Wang Jianmin player relays live ".Thus,, also can lose no time to switch to the 70th channel and watch by the prompting on the screen 210 even this boy was not to be program seeing that the 70th channel is broadcasted at that time, can be because of not seeing that other program is too fascinated, and miss this wonderful ball match.
Certainly, be not to have only programm name just can be used as user's program preferences, so long as the TV program information that electric program guide 124 is provided, can be used as user's program preferences, for example can be used as user's program preferences with the film of teaching level.In addition, though in the above-described embodiments, control unit 130 is collected the program preferences that just begins to differentiate the user after the rating of user in one week writes down earlier, yet the decision operation of program preferences also can be to carry out every day, also or carried out in every month, there is no particular determination, and its frequency of judging also visible electronic listing 124 renewal frequency and adjust.What deserves to be mentioned is that except electric program guide 124 can regularly upgrade, individualized program database 122 equally also can regularly be upgraded.Rating record with Monday of user A, it can write down the channel and the period of being watched continuous fortnight one of user A earlier, and then sort according to specific ranking method, to obtain this fortnight one the most normal channel of watching and period of watching, remaining channel and the corresponding period of watching are then deleted.
Though in the foregoing embodiments, the mode of control unit 130 record users' watching habit is the channel and the period of adopting the record user to watch at ordinary times, yet it also is can adopt by the user to set up the channel of hobby and the period of watching on their own.The benefit of so doing is that control unit 130 can directly conclude and analyze according to user's setting, can obtain user's program preferences quickly, does not need to pass through long data collection again.
Although Fig. 2 has described a kind of execution mode of individualized program database 122, so this field has and knows that usually the knowledgeable should be known in that individualized program database 122 is when changing its execution mode according to the practical design demand.Even it also can be to adopt each user all to have exclusive program database to present.Certainly, along with the difference of the execution mode of individualized program database 122, the mode of control unit 130 record users' watching habit, and the reductive analysis mode of program preferences also should change accordingly.
In Fig. 1, user's identification unit 110 can also adopt other mode to realize, as shown in Figure 3 except utilizing fingerprint identifier, biological identification device, pupil identifier or the automatic construct system of three-dimensional environment realize certainly.Figure 3 shows that according to the prompting program information device of another embodiment of the present invention and the schematic diagram of coupling mode thereof.Please after relatively, can find that the difference of device shown in Figure 3 is that user's identification unit 110 is made up of camera unit 112 and image identification unit 114 simultaneously with reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 1.Camera unit 112 can utilize camera in order to obtain user's image, or utilizes the video information camera (video camera) of network camera (webcam) and so on to wait and realize.Image identification unit 114 is then in order to coming identification user's identity according to this image, and sends identification result to control unit 130, with allow control unit 130 identification result can be come with individualized program database 122 in each user's data compare.In addition, when having a plurality of portrait in the image that camera unit 112 is obtained, one of them object as identification of these portraits is just selected in image identification unit 114.
