Description

用于采集媒体内容收视率 并有助于适应内容推荐器的用户界面
本发明涉及电视(TV)推荐器，更具体地说，本发明涉及用于采集电视节目收视率并使用户对先前获得的偏爱观看简档中的错误进行校正的用户界面。
个人电视(PTV)业务使观众可以随时观看节目，而无论广播电台什么时候选择播放它们。这通常可以通过对观众提供个人电视记录器实现，个人电视记录器实际就是装备了硬盘驱动器的机顶盒。将PTV业务载入硬盘驱动器，从而使机顶盒选择性地记录并播放实况电视广播。许多这种PTV业务包括节目推荐器，根据观众个人的电视观看简档，电视推荐器推荐电视节目。
当前，获得电视观看简档的方法主要有3种：隐式获取观看简档方法、显式获取观看简档方法以及反馈获取观看简档方法。显式获取观看简档方法是从观众的电视观看历史，即观看的和未观看的电视节目组中隐蔽获得电视观看简档。显式获取观看简档方法是从观众回答包括关于观众喜欢和不喜欢的详细问题的问卷中回答电视观看简档。反馈获取观看简档方法从观众对其提供了喜欢或不喜欢程度参数的电视节目组中获得电视观看简档。
然而，传统电视推荐器不允许观众对先前获取的观看简档内的错误进行校正。因此，需要一种允许观众对事先获得的电视推荐器偏爱观看简档中的错误进行校正的方法。
本发明的一个方面包括用于推荐器系统的用户界面。该用户界面包括显示屏幕，其第一区域用于显示根据推荐器系统内包含的先前确定观看简档获得的收视率，其第二区域用于显示用于获得收视率的观看简档内的偏爱设置。如果根据观看简档获得的收视率不正确，则该用户界面可以改变偏爱设置。
本发明的另一个方面包括对用于推荐器系统的先前确定偏爱观看简档进行校正以更准确反映用户偏爱的方法。该方法包括：显示根据先前确定观看简档获得的收视率；显示用于获得收视率的观看简档内的偏爱设置；以及如果根据观看简档获得的收视率不正确，使用户至少改变一个偏爱设置。
本发明的又一个方面包括：推荐器系统，具有偏爱观看简档；用户界面，包括显示屏幕，其第一区域用于显示根据观看简档获得的收视率，其第二区域用于显示用于获得收视率的观看简档内的偏爱设置；其中如果根据观看简档获得的收视率不正确，则可以改变偏爱设置。
通过对以下结合附图对说明性实施例所做的详细说明进行研究，本发明的优点、特性以及各种其它特征将变得更加明显，附图中类似的标号表示类似单元，附图包括：
图1示出根据本发明典型实施例的用户界面(UI)；以及
图2示出采用根据本发明UI的电视推荐器的典型实施例的方框图。
图1示出根据本发明典型实施例的用户界面(UI)。如图2所示，根据本发明的UI 10通常与传统电视推荐器系统相连，传统电视推荐器系统包括：分别对显式推荐器110和隐式推荐器120提供输入的显式电视偏爱观看简档90和隐式电视偏爱观看简档100。电子节目指引130(EPG)将涉及电视节目的数据输入到推荐器110和推荐器120。这种数据包括：每个电视节目的名称、频道、开始时间以及其它特征。在可以与用户交互的显示屏幕上实现UI 10。
根据本发明的UI 10提供了一种用于显示为了进行反馈评估的电视节目特性、对此节目推断的收视率以及用于获得此收视率的现有观看简档的设置偏爱的方法。因此，有利于推荐器系统的用户识别并校正会导致产生错误结论的电视观看简档。
在图1所示的实施例中，UI 10包括：第一区域20，用于显示正被评估的电视节目的名称；第二区域30，用于显示利用有关推荐器系统的显式电视观看偏爱情况获得的、所显示电视节目的显式收视率得分；以及第三区域40，用于显示利用有关推荐器系统的隐式电视观看偏爱情况获得的、所显示电视节目的隐式收视率得分。设置第四区域50是为了使用户对用户显式电视观看简档内、用于获得主题电视节目的显式收视率得分的偏爱设置进行校正。特别是，第四区域50还可以包括询问52，询问52询问用户所显示电视节目的用户先前获得偏爱设置是否正确。第四区域还可以包括多个区域54a至54f，这些区域指出包含在用户显式电视观看简档内的用户电视观看偏爱设置。此外，区域54a至54f还允许观众将EPG提供的电视节目的任意特性附加到观众电视观看简档。例如，在所示的实施例中，区域54a允许用户将所显示的电视节目的名称附加到观众电视观看简档。这些与区域54a至54f相关的电视观看偏爱设置包括：特定电视节目、安排该电视节目的日期和时间的用户偏爱设置；传播电视节目的网络的用户偏爱设置；喜剧电视节目的用户偏爱设置；情景电视节目的用户偏爱设置；以及动画电视节目的用户偏爱设置。
除了第四区域之外，或者代替第四区域，还可以设置第五区域60以使用户对用于获得主题电视节目隐式收视率得分的用户隐式电视观看简档内的偏爱设置进行校正。将第六区域70设置为按钮72，按钮72将反馈提交到显式电视推荐器观看简档和隐式电视推荐器观看简档。
尽管以将本发明应用于与电视推荐器一起使用的调谐电视观看简档的方式对本发明进行了说明，但是本发明原理并不局限于此领域。例如，本发明原理还可以应用于用于电影、书、音频记录等推荐器的反馈观看简档调谐设备。
尽管参考上述实施例对本发明进行了说明，但是在本发明范围内，可以对其进行各种调整和变更。因此，可以认为所有这些调整和变更均在所附权利要求所述的范围内。
