术语“数字产品”应理解为意味着以下一种或多种:媒体内容、多媒体内容、娱乐内容、视频、点播视频、付费视频、音频、音乐、电视演出、电视节目、电影、计算机游戏、网络计算机游戏、视频游戏、互联网游戏、网络游戏、锦标赛、游戏机游戏、虚拟现实内容、虚拟现实游戏、电子图书、以及电子杂志。根据本公开的实施例,数字产品可以只用于购买。术语“数字内容”和“数字产品”可以互换使用。术语“计算机游戏”和“数字游戏”的含义相同。
术语“用户界面”可以指本公开实施例提供的软件、显示屏幕和/或功能,其至少有助于用户访问、查看、下载或购买数字产品。因此,术语“用户界面”可指使用户能够与系统交互的图形用户界面,或指建立用户设备和服务器之间的数据通信的计算机编程界面(API)。
术语“数字产品事件”应意味着针对某一用户或一组用户(客户或潜在客户)并与某一日期和时间相关的特定数字产品的行为。数字产品事件的一个示例是指某个数字产品的发布日期。数字产品事件的另一个示例是指已安排的网络游戏锦标赛。术语“数字产品事件数据”应意味着将特定数字产品(或特定数字产品的相应标识符)与数字产品事件链接起来的数字数据。例如,数字产品事件数据可以提供特定的计算机游戏在特定的日期发布给特定的用户、用户组或公众。
本公开的实施例为一个或多个在线商店或在线数字内容平台的特定用户提供个性化的数字产品事件的单一和交互式日历。在日历中,每个日期都可以与特定的数字产品事件相关联,这些事件可以以图形方式为用户标识。日历还为用户提供了交互能力,以便用户可以查看、访问、下载、记录或购买一些数字产品。例如,本公开的个性化和交互式日历可以在PlayStationTM在线平台中提供,以显示与其他不同的在线平台、界面、商店等相关联的多个数字产品事件。因此,本公开使得用户能够使用日历来检查某些计算机游戏何时发布、锦标赛游戏何时安排、一些电影、电视(TV)节目或多媒体内容何时对用户变为可用等。用户可以直接从日历上下订单、预订单或购买数字产品。用户还可以设置通知、共享和喜欢数字产品。用户还可以从日历中启动某些数字产品。从这个意义上说,本公开的日历提供了与数字产品的过去、现在和未来进行交互的能力。因此,本公开的实施例有助于通过集成来自多个来源的数字产品事件数据来解决个性化交互式日历的技术问题,其还可以通过允许用户更快速地浏览具有不同来源的日历事件来改进计算机(例如游戏设备)的操作。
现在参考附图来描述示例实施例。这些附图是理想化示例实施例的示意图。因此,本文所讨论的实施例不应解释为仅限于本文所示的特定附图,而这些实施例可以包括差异,并且与本文所示的附图不同。
图1和图24示出了说明具有多个在线服务或应用程序的在线游戏平台中个性化日历的交互方案100的框图。这里,个性化日历可以通过“PlayStation甲骨文(Oracle)”平台105对用户可用,该平台提供了一个用户图形界面,用于显示日历并使用户能够与日历交互通信。PlayStation甲骨文(Oracle)平台105可以与多个软件应用程序、在线商店、Web服务、在线多媒体内容平台、在线游戏平台等进行可操作地连接或关联。例如,如图1所示,PlayStation甲骨文(Oracle)平台105可以链接到以下Web服务:“PlayStation视图(Vue)”在线平台105A、“PlayStation加(Plus)”在线平台105B、“PlayStation视频(Video)”在线平台105C、“PlayStation音乐(Music)”在线平台105D、“PlayStation现在(Now)”在线平台105E、“PlayStation锦标赛(Tournaments)”在线平台105F、娱乐设备105G(例如,PlayStation虚拟现实(Virtual Reality,VR)在线平台、VR设备、游戏机等)、“PlayStation信息”在线平台105H、“PlayStation商店”在线平台105I、“PlayStation博客”在线平台105J等。因此,用户无需分别和单独访问这些在线平台105A-105J来了解一些数字产品事件,因为用户可以只访问PlayStation甲骨文(Oracle)平台105来访问从所有在线平台105A-105J获得并以有组织的信息式的方式呈现的数字产品事件的信息。
图2示出了根据一个示例实施例说明用于提供个性化日历的系统200的框图。系统200包括包含了至少一个处理器的服务器205、用于存储数据库220和计算机可实现指令的计算机可读介质、以及使服务器205能够与系统200的其他元素通信的网络接口。服务器205维护并提供在线商店或在线游戏平台,诸如PlayStationTM在线游戏平台或PlayStationTM商店,用于向用户销售数字产品。
服务器205可以经由一个或多个通信网络215与一个或多个用户设备210进行操作通信。如上所述,用户设备210由用户操作,并且可以指个人电脑、游戏机、移动设备等。通信网络215可以指任何有线、无线或光网络,包括例如互联网、内部网、局域网(local areanetwork,LAN)、个人局域网(Personal Area Network,PAN)、广域网(Wide Area Network,WAN)、虚拟专用网(Virtual Private Network,VPN)、蜂窝电话网络(例如包交换通信网、电路交换通信网)、蓝牙无线电、以太网、基于IEEE 802.11的射频网络、因特网协议(IP)通信网络或任何其他利用物理层、链路层能力或网络层传输数据包的数据通信网络,或以上列出的数据网络的任何组合。
系统200还包括一个或多个内容提供者225,诸如存储数字产品的服务器计算机。可以基于从服务器205收到的指令将数字产品传输或广播到选定的用户设备210。例如,当用户设备210中的一个的用户访问由服务器205维护的在线商店并购买某个数字产品时,可以从内容提供商225中的一个下载到相应的用户设备210;或者,用户设备210可以被授予访问内容提供商225以访问所购买的数字产品。
数据库220可以维护用户帐户、用户设置、用户偏好、用户个人信息、用户支付信息、可选的一些数字产品和数字产品事件数据。数据库220可以是存储与数字产品事件日期、用户标识符和用户帐户相关联的数字产品的标识符或索引的关系数据库。
如本文所述,用户设备210的用户可以访问由服务器205维护的在线平台,以访问个性化日历并与之交互。用户可以查看日历中的一个或多个数字产品和数字产品事件。
用户设备210和服务器205的示例实施方式在图13中进一步说明并解释如下。以下的图3至图11说明了在线数字平台的各种图形用户界面(显示屏),并用来解释个性化日历的生成和交互过程。图3至图11的图形用户界面可以显示在用户设备210的显示器上。
图3示出了根据一个实施例显示个性化日历的日历微件的在线平台的图形用户界面300的示例部分。在线平台可以由服务器205维护或承载,以便对多个用户可用。在线平台的一个示例是PlayStation甲骨文(Oracle)。可替换地,在线平台可以是从数字产品的多个在线商店聚合数据的网站。
图形用户界面300包括多个日期微件305(例如,图标),每个微件代表个性化日历中的特定日期。在所示示例中,显示了关于一整月(例如,2016年7月)的日期微件305。显示元素310可以指示用户当前查看的月份。日期微件305可以以任何有组织的方式排列,例如,以传统日历中常用的阵列。
图形用户界面300还包括一个或多个超链接或其他可点击的按钮或软按钮,诸如可点击按钮315,被配置为使得(当用户启动时)感兴趣的月份和感兴趣的年份的切换、更改或选择。可替换地,当启动可点击按钮315时,可以使得切换、更改或选择一周或一天。在一些实施例中,日历微件可以显示多于一个月,例如12个月。
在图形用户界面300中,一个或多个日期微件305可以包括与特定数字产品事件相关联的一个或多个图形元素或图标,诸如基于用户的偏好、预定规则或用户帐户对用户感兴趣的特定计算机游戏的发布。
图形用户界面300也使得用户选择至少一个日期微件305,并从一个日期微件305转到他感兴趣的另一个日期微件305。例如,图4示出了显示与图3中的个性化日历的相同的日历微件的在线平台的图形用户界面400的一部分,但其中一个日期微件305被用户选中。在该图中,图形用户界面400将所选日期微件405显示为放大的界面元素。选定的日期微件405可以包括一个或多个图形元素或图标410,这些图形元素或图标与某数字产品事件相关联,诸如基于用户的偏好、预定规则或用户帐户对用户感兴趣的特定计算机游戏的发布。在所示示例中,图标410象征着新电影的发布、新计算机游戏的发布以及新音乐专辑(或电视节目)的发布。
在某些实施例中,用户可以编程图形用户界面400,以在日期微件中显示所有数字产品或仅显示所选择类型的数字产品。在图4中,界面元素320提供“一切”意味着所有可能类型的数字产品都显示在日历中。然而,用户可以用超链接或其他可点击按钮或软按钮(诸如可点击按钮325)进行操作,以使图形用户界面400中显示的数字产品类型发生切换、更改或选择(当用户启动时)。
图5示出了根据一个实施例的调整到只显示与“新游戏”相关联的数字产品事件的显示个性化日历的在线平台的图形用户界面500的另一示例。图形用户界面500包括左侧的日历微件,该微件具有多个日期微件305。日期微件305以有组织的阵列显示以便来显示给定月份中的所有天。一个或多个日期微件305可以包含一个或多个图形元素或图标410,这些图形元素或图标410与某数字产品事件相关联,诸如基于用户的偏好、预定规则或用户帐户对用户感兴趣的特定计算机游戏的发布。图形用户界面500的右侧包括用于显示一个或多个放大图形元素或放大图标515的用户界面元素505,每个元素都与给定或所选日期的某数字产品事件关联。所选日期显示在用户界面元素510中。用户可以通过操作用户设备210来选择日期。例如,用户可以启动或点击超链接或可点击按钮315以使日历的月份和年份的切换、更改或选择。用户还可以浏览日期微件305并选择其中任何一个,以使用户界面元素505显示与所选日期相关联的某数字产品事件的放大图形元素或放大图标515。默认情况下,用户界面元素505显示所有类型的数字产品或数字产品事件。但是,用户可以启动或点击超链接或可点击按钮325,以使用户界面元素505中显示的数字产品类型的切换、更改或选择。例如,如图5所示,用户可以选择“新游戏”,以便用户界面元素505仅显示计算机游戏的发布或其他事件。
图6示出了根据一个实施例的显示调整到只显示与“新视频”相关联的数字产品事件的个性化日历的在线平台的图形用户界面600的另一示例。因此,图6与图5基本相同,但在图6中,用户用超链接或可点击按钮325操作以选择要在用户界面元素505中显示“新视频”类型的数字产品。因此,如图6所示,用户界面元素505包括描绘新视频或电影的多个放大的图形元素或放大的图标515,这些新视频或电影在所选日期(即2016年7月19日)对用户可用。
图7示出了根据一个实施例的显示调整到显示所选日期的所有数字产品事件的个性化日历的在线平台的图形用户界面700的又一示例。换言之,图形用户界面700与图5或图6所示的基本相同,但是图形用户界面700包括用户界面元素505,其中显示了所选日期的所有类型的数字产品事件。例如,用户界面元素505可以显示说明新的计算机游戏的放大的图标705以及说明将在选定日期发布或已发布的新电影的放大的图标710。放大的图标515、705和710的每一个都可以用作可点击的按钮或超链接,当用户启用时,这些按钮或超链接使得切换屏幕以显示相应数字产品的预定细节,或激活相应数字产品的回放或启动。
图8示出了根据一个实施例的显示调整到显示所选日期的所有数字产品事件的个性化日历的在线平台的图形用户界面800的又一示例。与上述界面类似,图形用户界面800包括日历微件805,以显示具有以阵列组织的多个日期微件的日历的一部分。每个日期微件都可以是可点击的按钮。用户可以选择某个日期进行查看,使得图形用户界面800的右侧将显示一个或多个放大的图标810,每个图标都表征某个数字产品或数字产品事件的特征。例如,每个放大的图标810可以包括数字产品的代表性图像、数字产品的标题、数字产品的类型(例如,“完整游戏”或“电影”)、价格等。每个放大的图标810都可以是可点击的按钮,当用户启动该按钮时,会显示相应产品或数字产品事件的详细信息。
图9示出了根据一个实施例的显示个性化日历在所选日期没有数字产品事件的在线平台的图形用户界面900的又一示例。在这种情况下,图形用户界面900的右侧部分包括一个用户界面元素910,该元素显示书面的语句“无事件”以向用户发出信号,表示没有为给定日期安排数字产品事件。
图10示出了根据一个实施例的调整到显示所选日期的所有数字产品事件的显示个性化日历的在线平台的图形用户界面1000的又一示例。图形用户界面1000与图形用户界面800基本相同,但图形用户元素的布局不同。具体来说,图形用户界面1000包括界面左侧部分的日历微件和界面右侧部分的多个图形用户界面元素1005-1020。图形用户界面元素1005可以显示选定日期(例如,2016年7月16日,如图10所示)的特写的(featured)数字产品事件,诸如计算机游戏锦标赛。图形用户界面元素1010显示与所选日期的电视节目相关的所有或特写的数字产品事件。图形用户界面元素1015显示与所选日期的电影相关的所有或特写的数字产品事件。图形用户界面元素1020显示与选定日期的计算机游戏相关的所有或特写的数字产品事件。
图11示出了根据一个实施例的显示调整到显示所选日期的一些数字产品事件的个性化日历的在线平台的图形用户界面1100的又一示例。图形用户界面1100与图形用户界面1000基本相似。具体地,图形用户界面1100包括界面左侧部分的日历微件1105和界面右侧部分的多个图形用户界面元素1110。每个图形用户界面元素1110都可以显示数字产品事件,比如用户选择的日期的计算机游戏。具体地,每个图形用户界面元素1110都可以包括表示数字产品(例如,计算机游戏)的图像、数字产品的标题(例如,“使命召唤”)、数字产品的描述、数字产品价格、数字产品的状态(例如,可购买或已购买)、以及一个或多个超链接或可点击(软)按钮。例如,每个图形用户界面元素1110都可以有超链接或可点击(软)按钮1115,用于使得所选数字产品的购买、订购或预订购。每个图形用户界面元素1110还可以包括超链接或可点击按钮1120,当用户启用时,会使得启动与图形用户界面元素1110各个数字产品相对应的软件应用程序。例如,通过点击按钮1120,可以打开用于购买相应数字产品的在线商店,或者可以开始计算机游戏软件应用程序,从而启动相应的数字产品。每个图形用户界面元素1110还可以包含超链接或可点击按钮1125,当用户启用时,它使得用户对各个数字产品喜欢或特写(featuring)。例如,如果用户点击按钮1125,则相应的数字产品将被标记为“心形”符号,或者可以放置在用户的“我的材料(My Stuff)”文件夹中。每个图形用户界面元素1110还可以包含超链接或可点击按钮1130,当用户启用时,它使得用户创建与各个数字产品相关联的通知规则。通知规则可能使得向用户的用户设备210发送警告或消息,以提醒或通知他某些数字产品事件。例如,当某个数字产品发布时,用户可以收到提醒。
图14至图23示出了图形用户界面的示例,其与图3至图11中所示的图形用户界面类似,并且有助于理解本文所述的技术。图14至图23的图形用户界面可以显示在用户设备210的显示器上。图14至图23的图形用户界面的用户交互与上述关于图3至图11的图形用户界面的用户交互类似。
图12是示出根据示例实施例的用于提供个性化日历的方法1200的流程图。方法1200可通过处理逻辑来执行,所述处理逻辑可包括硬件(例如,决策逻辑、专用逻辑、可编程逻辑、专用集成电路)、软件(诸如在通用计算机系统或专用机器上运行的软件)或两者的组合。在一个实施例中,处理逻辑是指图2的服务器205。下面列举的方法1200的操作可以按照与图中描述和显示不同的顺序执行。此外,方法1200可能具有本文未显示的附加操作,但对于本领域技术人员来说,从本公开中可以明显看出。方法1200也可能具有比下面概括的和图12中所示的更少的操作。
方法1200从操作1205开始,其中服务器205维护用户帐户。在某些实施例中,用户帐户可以包括用户名、用户标识符、用户证书(例如,登录和密码)、关于数字产品的用户偏好、用户设置、通知、购买或订购的数字产品(例如,数字产品的标识符)、与特写的数字产品相关的数据、与平台的其他用户链接的数据等。
服务器205还维护至少一个数据库,诸如数据库220,用于存储数字产品事件数据。数字产品事件数据可以将多个数字产品与各个数字产品事件日期关联或链接。换句话说,数字产品事件数据可以提供某个数字产品将在何时发布给公众或某些用户或在何时已经发布给公众或某些用户。数字产品可以用数字产品标识符来表征。因此,数字产品标识符可以与关系数据库中的用户标识符和数字产品事件数据相关联。
在操作1210处,服务器205重复更新至少一个数据库(诸如数据库220)中的数字产品事件数据。例如,当新的数字产品投放到市场或即将投放到市场时,可以更新数据库以包括某些数字产品的新发布日期。可以基于从多个远程服务器或Web服务(诸如,内容提供者225)获取的信息更新数字产品事件数据。
在操作1215处,服务器205为用户帐户的用户提供用户界面。用户简况(profile)的示例在上面参考图3至图11进行了描述。相应地,用户界面可显示在用户的用户设备210上。用户界面可以包括基于用户帐户为用户个性化的至少一个日历微件。日历微件包括多个日期微件,其中每个日期微件都可以与特定日期相关联。例如,可以基于用户设置、偏好、订阅等个性化日历微件,使得日历微件仅显示用户感兴趣(或可用或相关)的数字产品的事件数据。例如,日历微件仅显示与用户来自同一国家或地区的电影或电视节目的事件数据。可替换地,可以通过日历微件提供所有数字产品的事件数据。
在操作1220处,服务器205转换数字产品事件数据的至少一部分以通过日历微件显示数字产品事件数据的至少一部分。例如,数字产品事件数据被转换使得其可以被呈现为用户界面元素或微件,并显示在用户界面中。也允许其他转换处理。
用户界面还可以使得用户从远程用户设备查看、购买和访问一个或多个数字产品。例如,与数字产品事件数据相关的用户界面元素或微件可以是可执行的(actionable),使得当用户点击这些用户界面元素或微件时,服务器205或用户设备210使得购买所选的数字产品或重定向到相应的在线商店以购买选定的数字产品。
在操作1225处,服务器205修改日历微件,以基于数字产品事件数据显示所选日期微件(例如,如元素410所示)内的一个或多个数字产品图标,其中每个图标与数字产品和该数字产品的发布日期中的一个相关联。在一些实施例中,每个图标都可以与特写的数字产品关联。
在操作1225处,服务器205接收用户的输入,该输入指示日历微件中的特定日期。例如,用户可以使用游戏控制器或轨迹球来选择或点击一个日期微件(例如,日期微件305)。
在操作1225处,响应于用户的输入,服务器205基于存储在数据库中的数字产品事件数据,识别与输入的特定日期相关联的至少一个数字产品。换句话说,当用户选择日历微件中的某一天时,服务器205确定或标识在该日期即将发布或已经发布的某些数字产品。
在操作1230处,响应于用户的输入,服务器205修改用户界面,以便显示除日历微件外的至少一个数字产品微件(例如,诸如图5至图8、图10和图11所示),其中至少一个数字产品微件与至少一个识别的的数字产品相关联。如上文参考图11所述,至少一个数字产品微件可以包括:(a)用于识别各个数字产品的图形元素;(b)第一可执行的(actionable)按钮,当用户启用时,该按钮使得启动对应于各个数字产品的软件应用程序;(c)第二可执行的(actionable)按钮,当用户启用时,会使得喜欢或特写各个数字产品;(d)以及第三可执行的(actionable)按钮,当用户启用时,会使得创建与各个数字产品关联的通知规则。在一些实施例中,服务器205可以基于通知规则经由用户界面向用户提供一个或多个通知消息。
