Description
发明领域
本发明一般涉及信息播放系统,更具体地,本发明涉及媒体节目安排的时移。
发明背景
通过许多类型媒体可获得的许多形式的信息可用于延迟播放。例如,盒式录象机(VCR)、激光盘、及数字通用盘(DVD)允许音/象(A/V)节目安排的时移。音频播放系统包含诸如盒式带播放机与紧致盘(CD)播放机等设备。用这些设备存储与播放的音频内容通常包含音乐、音频书籍、无线电节目或讲座的记录等。其它媒体也可用于或将可用于各种类型的节目安排的时移。
这些先有技术播放设备的一个缺点通常是不灵活性。例如,存在着分布在若干存储部件上的选择的可能性。单一音频书籍或讲座系列可能需要多个盒式带或CD的完整的音频范围。诸如电影等音/象节目安排也可能需要多个存储部件。另一缺点在于盒式带(视频或音频)与光学媒体(CD、DVD等)在用户结束原始内容时通常不能用新内容重写,这导致用户必须处置或存放迅速扩大的存储介质。虽然存在着改写原始资料的技术,但很少有机会获得与记录新内容来改写用户购买的原始内容。
先有技术还包含将音频内容存储在诸如闪速存储器等可重写的存储器中的数字播放设备。这些设备可有利地用来获取与使用节目安排内容,然而,这些设备对于存储与使用内容通常是不灵活的。例如,播放设备可存储特定音频内容的受时间限制的部分。在存储该音频内容的后面部分或不同的选择之前可能要求用户收听完整的部分。先有技术数字播放设备通常并不提供存储多个节目安排选择及在不同比率上使用这些选择的能力。因此,所需要的是提供个人化的时移节目安排的改进的播放设备。
发明概述
描述了个人化时移节目安排的方法与装置。从库中检索数字内容并进行存储用于随后的播放。将内容的子集存储在播放设备中并按照用户的预定的说明自动选择它们来更新消费了的内容。
附图简述
附图中用示例方式而非限定方式说明本发明,其中相同的参照数字指称相似的元件。
图1为用于提供个人化时移节目安排的部件的框图的一个实施例。
图2为可用作库访问设备的计算机系统的一个实施例。
图3为播放设备的一个实施例。
图4为可提供的音频内容的播放时间分配的一个实施例。
图5为自动提供最新音频内容的流程图的一个实施例。
图6为自动提供一系列片断中的一个片断的流程图的一个实施例。
图7为自动提供直到音频内容完成为止的无缝更新的流程图的一个实施例。
详细描述
描述了个人化时移音频节目安排的方法与装置。在下面的描述中,为了说明的目的,陈述了许多专门细节以便提供对本发明的彻底理解。然而,对于本领域的熟练技术人员显而易见可以实践本发明而无须这些专门细节。在其它实例中,为了避免对本发明模糊不清,用框图形式示出众所周知的结构与设备。
虽然一般是对数字音频节目安排描述的,本发明不限于音频内容的个人化与时移。本发明同样适用于其它媒体,诸如视频、视频/音频(A/V)、及其它媒体或媒体组合。本发明用于具有诸如固定量的机载存储器的有限存储器资源的设备。本发明允许用户“消费”(通过收听音频内容,收看视频内容等)节目安排内容并以与用户的内容消费一致的形式自动更新内容。本发明还允许用户在单一存储器设备中保持多个节目安排选择并在不同程度上消费这多个选择。还可根据内容的类型、用户的偏爱等以不同方式更新该多个节目选择。
简言之,关于音频内容,本发明提供用于检索音频内容以及时移与个人化播放的方法与装置。在一个实施例中,例如从数字音频库中检索数字音频内容。一旦检索到,便将音频内容存储在诸如个人计算机或其它存储器设备上。全部或部分地将存储的音频内容传送给播放设备,允许用户在播放设备上收听音频内容。
在一个实施例中,用户可指定播放设备提供的对各种音频选择的播放时间部分。例如,对于提供两小时音频内容的播放设备,用户可能希望收听半小时今日新闻、半小时喜剧系列及一小时音频书籍。从而,用户可将四分之一播放时间划分给新闻与喜剧系列中每一个及一半播放时间给音频书籍。
在一个实施例中,本发明为播放设备提供用户可根据如何使用音频内容选择的不同自动更新技术。例如,新闻部分可以是从特定来源可获得的最新新闻的半小时。喜剧系列可以是该系列中最老的未消费的片断。音频书籍部分可在每一次将播放设备耦合到库检索设备上时提供从最近停止处开始的一小时音频书籍。当然也可以实现其它组合与方案。
提供个人化节目安排内容的装置的概述
图1为用于提供个人化时移音频节目安排的部件的框图的第一实施例。虽然图1的实施例是对于个人计算机、因特网与网络服务器描述的,也能用代替的部分来设置图1的装置。也可修改图1的部件来为音频以外的媒体提供个人化时移节目安排。
库110提供对通称音频内容的多个音频产品的询问,其中包含下述一或多种:音频书籍、录制的无线电节目、录制的讲座、音频通信稿与其它期刊、电视节目安排的音频部分、来自个人的报文或其它通信等。当然也可以提供其它类型的音频内容。库110可以是包含视频、正文及未相对本发明进行描述的其它信息的更大的数字库的一部分。
网络100提供对库110的访问。在一个实施例中,网络100为因特网。在这一实施例中,可用全球网(WWW或Web)页的形式将库110提交给用户。作为替代,库100可以是通过网络100访问的不同类型的资源,诸如公告牌服务(BBS)、文件服务器等。当然,网络100可以是因特网以外的网络,诸如局域网(LAN)、广域网(WAW)、无线网、或其它类型的网络。
作为替代,库110可以是诸如DVD、CD-ROM等本机存储器设备。在这种实施例中,不通过网络100访问库110。当然,库访问设备可检索音频内容以外的节目安排内容。
可将诸如库访问设备120与150等多个库访问设备耦合在网络100上以访问库110。库访问设备可以是个人计算机、专用库访问设备或通过网络100提供对库110访问的任何其它类型的设备。
耦合在各库访问设备上的有诸如播放设备125与155等播放设备。播放设备存储从库110访问的全部或一部分音频内容用于播放。在一实施例中,播放设备为可由其用户从关联的库访问设备上卸下的便携式设备。作为替代,播放设备可以是相关库访问设备的部件而不能容易地与其分开的。
作为替代,播放设备可包含库访问功能。例如,个人数字助手(PDA)可包含播放功能以及库访问功能。在这一实施例中,对音频内容的更新可由PDA按照下述方法之一自动执行。
图2为可用作库访问设备的计算机系统的一个实施例。计算机系统200包括总线201或用于传递信息的其它通信设备、及与总线201耦合用于处理信息的处理器202。计算机系统200还包括用于存储信息与由处理器202执行的指令的耦合在总线201上的随机存取存储器(RAM)其它动态存储器设备204(称作主存储器)。主存储器204还可用于存储临时变量或在处理器202的指令执行期间的其它中间信息。计算机系统200还包括耦合在总线201上的用于存储静态信息及处理器202的指令的只读存储器(ROM)与/或其它静态存储器设备206。数据存储器设备207耦合在总线201上用于存储信息与指令。可将诸如磁盘或光盘等数据存储器设备207与对应的驱动器耦合在计算机系统200上。
计算机系统200也可通过总线201耦合在诸如阴极射线管(CRT)或液晶显示器(LCD)等用于显示信息给计算机用户的显示设备221上。包含字母数字与其它键的字母数字输入设备222通常耦合在总线201上用于传递信息与命令选择给处理器202。另一种用户输入设备为诸如鼠标器、跟踪球或光标方向键等用于传递方向信息及命令选择给处理器202及用于控制光标在显示器221上的运动的光标控制223。
计算机系统200可通过网络接口、调制解调器或其它设备(图2中未示出)耦合在诸如网络100等网络上。通过该网络接口,计算机系统200可用于从诸如数字音频库110等库中检索数字音频信息。可将检索到的音频内容存储在主存储器204与/或数据存储器设备207中。
播放设备接口225提供计算机系统200与下面更详细描述的移动播放设备(图2中未示出)之间的接口。播放设备接口225用于从计算机系统200传送音频内容给播放设备及从播放设备接收关于音频内容的信息。当然,播放设备接口225可用于传送其它数据与/或监视音频内容。
作为替代,可直接对播放存储器设备(图2中未示出)更新节目安排内容,而无须直接将播放设备耦合在库访问设备上。在这种实施例中,将可拆卸的存储器设备耦合在播放设备接口225上来接收更新的节目内容。从而,用户可拥有多个存储器设备与播放设备一起使用。这便允许用户连续使用播放设备而无须暂停来更新节目安排内容。
本发明已按照从库中将内容“拉”到播放设备或存储器设备加以描述。然而,本发明的概念同样适用于从库中将内容“推”到播放设备或存储器设备。可根据特定用户关于想要哪些内容及应如何存储与更新内容的说明来执行内容的推。作为替代,可随机地将内容推给用户,或可根据透露或观察到的偏爱将哪些内容推给用户。可通过注册或向用户提出一系列问题的其它过程,或者从用户生成的应答获得信息的另一种方式获得透露的偏爱。可通过观察用户所选择的内容的类型获得观察的偏爱。例如,可将体育运动内容推给此前已消费了其它体育运动内容的用户。
图3为播放设备的一个实施例。播放机300为能例如通过播放设备接口225下载数字化音频内容及稍后进行播放的移动播放设备。用户能利用播放机300上的按钮航行通过存储的数据来重放想要的音频内容。
播放机300包含按钮305、310、315、320与325以及音量转盘330。播放机300的进一步细节可在1996年9月12日提交的美国专利申请序号08/710,114中找到。
简要地说,播放机300包含拥有内部随机存取存储器(RAM)的处理器。在处理器外部有传统的只读存储器(ROM)及诸如闪速存储器等存储器存储设备。ROM中包含操作软件,而闪速存储器(或其它存储器存储设备)则包含音频数据。
播放机300也能包含接口来接收可更换的存储媒体内容的媒体。例如可将存储音频内容的闪速存储器卡插入播放机300中。能直接从可更换的媒体上播放存储在可更换的媒体上的音频内容,或将其从可更换的媒体上复制并存储在播放机300中供以后播放。
音频节目安排的个人化与时移的概述
本发明在总的方面提供智能化使用播放设备中的空闲与使用的存储器以将节目安排内容的无缝播放提供给用户。此外,本发明提供诸如新闻节目、音频书籍、娱乐系列等各种节目安排产品不同比率上的独立播放。
图4为可提供的音频内容的示范性播放时间分配的一个实施例。虽然图4的实例是对音频节目安排描述的,存储与播放概念同样适用于诸如视频、音/象等其它类型的节目安排。
在图4的实例中,提供了两小时的播放时段。第一个半小时提供最新财经新闻而第二半小时提供来自访谈系列的片段。最后一小时提供用户选择的音频小说。当然,也可提供小于或大于两小时的其它播放长度。
在一个实施例中,按照三种不同方法对图4所描述的三种音频选择进行更新。财经新闻部分410提供播放设备可获得的最新财经新闻。访谈系列420提供来自一系列访谈的最老的未消费的片断。音频小说430提供一个小时选择的音频小说的未取听部分或音频小说中剩余部分两者中较少的一种。当然,可用单一播放设备提供不同数目的音频节目。并且,也可提供一或多种更新方法的各种组合。
在一个实施例中,利用未分配的播放时间来扩展特定的播放时间。例如,如果用户分配半小时用于系列及一小时用于音频书籍,未分配的半小时可用于该音频书籍。作为替代,在图4的实例中,如果后面的访谈片断尚未获得,为访谈系列指定的半小时可用于音频书籍直到可以获得后面的片断为止。
图5为自动提供最新音频内容的流程图的一个实施例。可使用按照图5描述的更新音频内容的方法,例如,对于频繁地改变的音频内容及听众愿意收听最新版本。这些内容的实例包含但不限于财经新闻、世界新闻、比赛得分等。
例如,可用能访问数字音频库的耦合在因特网上的计算机系统执行图5的步骤。不论播放设备当前是否耦合在计算机系统上,计算机系统可为播放设备自动检索音频内容。
图5的方法从步骤500开始。在步骤500中,播放设备可有可无所想要的音频内容的版本。音频内容的版本是更大的音频内容的一段。例如,访谈系列可以是音频内容而每一次访谈为该系列的一个版本或片断。如果播放设备没有想要的音频内容的任何版本,则检索与存储可以获得的最新版本。
如果播放设备当前存储了想要的音频内容的版本,在步骤510中确定所存储的内容的版本。在步骤520中,确定可获得的内容的版本。在步骤530中比较在步骤510与520中确定的版本。必须指出,步骤510与520可以颠倒执行,步骤510与520也可并行执行。
在步骤540中,判定所存储的版本是否与最新版本相同。如果是,不需要更新所存储的音频内容。这时处理应立即或在预定的延迟时段之后返回到步骤510。如果存储的内容不是最新内容,则在步骤550中检索与存储最新的可获得内容。此时,已得到想要的最新版本而处理在步骤560中完成。
可将检索到的版本存储在库访问设备或播放设备中。如果存储在库访问设备中,在稍后的时间上可将检索到的全部或一部分版本存储在播放设备中。
图6为自动提供一系列片断中的一个片断的流程图的一个实施例。当用户对收听系列感兴趣并希望收听该系列的最新版本时,例如,可用对图6描述的更新方法。
如对上面图5的步骤,例如可用耦合在因特网上的能访问数字库的计算机系统执行图6的步骤。无论播放设备当前是否耦合在计算机系统上,计算机系统可自动地为播放设备检索音频内容。
该方法从步骤600开始。在步骤610中,从数字库中检索一个片断。在步骤620中,判定检索到的片断是否已消费过。当播放设备耦合在库访问设备等上时,可在例如预定的时间上定期执行步骤620。作为替代,可以连续执行步骤620直到消费了检索到的片断为止。
在步骤630中,检索该系列中后面的片断。可将步骤630中检索到的后面的片断存储在库访问设备或播放设备中供以后播放。作为替代,可立即消费后面检索到的片断。进程在步骤640中结束。
当然,可将对图6描述的步骤修改成在用户已收听过已经检索到的版本之后,从该系列中检索一个版本。作为替代,在已使用过较老的版本之后,可由库访问设备检索与存储新版本并将其存储在播放设备中。
在另一实施例中,可将后面的片断的一部分存储在分配给该系列的存储器中。例如,如果用户收听30分钟片断的前10分钟并已分配了30分钟用于存储该片断,可将播放设备更新成存储片断的最后20分钟及后面的片断的10分钟。换言之,不限于在逐个片断的基础上更新片断。
图7为自动提供无缝更新直到音频内容完成为止的流程图的一个实施例。当听众正在收听音频书籍时,可使用按照图7描述的更新方法。该听众可能已在播放设备上存储了一小时的音频书籍并在该播放设备与库访问设备分离的时间段期间收听了25分钟的该音频书籍。当听众将播放设备耦合到库访问设备上时,便将紧接在前面存储在播放设备中的一小时后面的音频书籍的25分钟写在前面收听过的25分钟部分上。这时该播放设备存储了该听众可以收听的一小时的音频书籍。
该方法从步骤700开始。在步骤710中,播放设备确定特定音频内容的初始头与尾指针。头指针指示音频内容的逻辑起点。类似地,尾指针指示音频内容的逻辑终点。音频内容的逻辑起点与终点分别对应于如果“现场”收听时该音频内容的开始与结束。不需要将音频内容存储在连续的存储器位置中。在一个实施例中,音频内容存储在多个存储区中,这些区链接在一起以便按适当的音频序列播放存储在这些存储区中的音频内容。
在步骤720中将内容计数器设定到初始头指针上。内容计数器指示正在从其检索音频内容供播放的当前存储器位置。随着音频内容的播放,内容计数器按适当的音频序列前进通过存储在存储器中的音频内容。在一个实施例中,这是通过顺序地步进通过存储区完成的。当到达一存储区的终点时,便跟随指示下一个存储区的存储的链路到达下一适当的存储区。然后顺序地步进通过该存储区来检索音频内容。当然,也可以提供其它存储器布置。
在步骤730中,播放设备等待用户完成收听期。在收听期中,内容计数器如上所述移动通过存储器。在步骤730中,播放可以开始与停止多次。收听期定义为在播放设备不耦合在库访问设备或向播放设备提供音频内容的其它设备上期间的时间段。
在步骤740中,当完成了收听期时,将头指针设定到收听期结束时的内容计数器上。这使得后面的收听期能在最近的收听期结束处的音频内容的点上开始。通过在每一收听期后更新头指针,可将特定音频选择所用的存储器作为循环队列对待,使得随着音频内容的使用,用未用过(未播放)的音频内容来取代已用过(播放)的音频内容,而不是在使用了整个音频选择时取代该选择。
在步骤750中,释放存储已用过的音频内容的存储器而在步骤760中将释放的存储器用于存储来自库访问设备的后面的音频内容。当将新音频内容存储在播放设备中时,在步骤770中将尾指针设定到新音频内容的结束处。如果将新音频内容放在音频选择已用过的存储区以外的区中,则在步骤780中将这些新存储区链接到现有的音频内容上。进程在步骤790中完成。
从而,可以无缝地更新音频选择使得用户可以不知道播放设备的存储器限制。当在收听期之后将播放设备耦合到库访问设备上时,便用来自库访问设备或其它设备的新内容取代播放设备中用过的内容。
从而,可向用户提供按照用户的说明提供与更新音频的移动播放设备。用户可规定分配给一或多个音频选择的播放的时间量。用户还可以规定更新各该音频选择的方法。以这一方式,用户可按照预定的说明个人化与时移音频节目安排。
在以上说明书中,已参照其特定实施例描述了本发明。然而,显而易见可对其作出各种修正与改变而不脱离本发明的宽广的精神与范围。从而,应认为说明书与附图是示范性的而非限制性的。
