Description

为用户设备提供服务的方法和系统
领域
本发明涉及为用户设备提供服务的方法和为用户设备提供服务的系统。
背景
广播公司，例如电视和无线电广播公司，正设法为受众提供除传统媒体流外的数字补充服务，例如节目信息、新闻、天气信息、比赛和其他相关内容。数字补充服务通常使用受众的个人计算机或能够连接到因特网的其它设备而递送给受众。
通过蜂窝电信系统中的用户设备给观众提供更多的移动性，这些用户设备装配有接收器，例如FM无线电装置，用来接收由广播公司广播的媒体流。广播公司典型地提供因特网服务，该服务可以被能够连接到该服务的用户设备，例如装配有WAP(无线应用协议)的设备访问。为了获得所需服务，要求用户浏览广播公司的网站并选择合适的服务。为了将可用服务告知用户，广播公司通常在实际的电视或无线电广播，或者在其他大量媒体中宣传他们的因特网地址。
然而，由用户来访问服务存在与复杂性相关的问题。复杂性来自于需要由广播公司广告服务地址和由用户记住想要的服务地址。此外，通过复杂的因特网网页结构找到正确的服务地址是费力费时的。访问服务的复杂性导致了将用户连接到服务的障碍大和服务效率低下。
发明简述
本发明的一个目的是提供一种给用户设备提供服务的改进方法和系统。根据本发明的第一方面，提供一种为蜂窝电信系统的用户设备提供服务的方法，该服务通过蜂窝电信系统的无线电接口传送，用户设备包括用于在蜂窝电信系统中通信的用户终端和用来接收由无线电广播系统提供的媒体流的媒体接收器，该方法包括：传送302关联数据来使得媒体流与服务相关联；在用户设备接收关联数据；和配置包括蜂窝电信系统和广播系统的系统来通过使用关联数据给用户设备提供与媒体流相关联的服务。
根据本发明的另一方面，提供一个为用户设备提供服务的系统，包括：蜂窝电信系统的用以为用户设备提供移动服务的通信网络；给用户设备提供媒体流的广播系统；在用户设备中用来在蜂窝电信系统中通信的用户终端；和用户设备中用来接收媒体流的媒体接收器，连接到通信网络的用来通过使用蜂窝电信系统的无线电接口给用户设备提供与媒体流相关联的服务的服务器；给用户设备提供用于将媒体流与服务关联起来的关联数据的关联数据源；用户设备被配置来接收至少一部分关联数据；以及系统更进一步的包括可操作地连接到用户设备和服务器的配置装置，其用来配置系统以通过使用关联数据将与媒体流关联的服务提供给用户设备。
本发明的优选实施例在从属权利要求中描述。
本发明的方法和系统提供了多个优点。在本发明的一个实施例中，由用户设备接收的关联数据使得能够配置系统给用户设备提供与媒体流关联的服务，以至用户在配置系统上的作用是很小的。在一个实施例中，本发明通过使用配置在用户设备中的预先设置来使能不同的媒体流和关联服务间的选择。
附图列表
下面，本发明将参照优选实施例和附图来更详细地描述，其中：
图1示出按照本发明的系统的结构的例子，
图2示出按照本发明的系统的结构的第二个例子，
图3示出由按照本发明实施例的系统使用的方法的第一个例子，
图4示出由按照本发明实施例的系统使用的方法的第二个例子，以及
图5示出由按照本发明实施例的系统使用的方法的另一个例子。
实施 方案描述
图1举例说明一个按照本发明的一个方面的系统的简化结构的例子。本系统包括蜂窝电信系统的通信网络116(COM NET)、广播系统(BCS)118和蜂窝电信系统的用户设备(UE)110。
蜂窝电信系统是基于例如GSM(全球移动通信系统)无线接入技术或者WCDMA(宽带码分多址)技术的。蜂窝电信系统的结构和功能对本领域技术人员来说是公知的，而且将描述和本发明相关的网络单元。
通信网络116给用户设备110提供移动服务。广播系统118利用，例如，无线电或电视广播提供媒体流。
通信网络116可以代表蜂窝电信系统的固定基本设施。通信网络116包括一个代表通信网络116的与无线电无关的层的核心网(CN)114，以及至少一个无线电接入网(RAN)104。核心网114可以包括不同代的蜂窝电信系统的网络单元。无线电接入网104使用无线电接入技术给用户设备110提供无线电接口。
在图1所示的例子中，核心网114根据使用了电路交换和分组交换网络单元的GSM术语来进行示例。分组交换网络单元根据GPRS(通用分组无线业务)系统来描述，它给用户设备110提供经由GSM到外部数据网络的访问，并且支持例如TCP(传输控制协议)和IP(网际协议)的标准协议。然而，本发明并不是限于例子中描述的系统，系统的部分，或者用于该系统的协议，而是可以应用到任何蜂窝电信系统。
在蜂窝电信系统中，中心100分别代表移动业务交换中心(MSC)和使能电路交换和分组交换信令的GPRS业务支持节点(SGSN)。
服务GPRS支持节点100的功能是与支持分组交换传输的用户设备110之间收发分组。服务GPRS支持节点100包括与用户设备110有关的用户信息和位置信息。
核心网114也可以具有代表网关移动服务交换中心(GMSC)和网关GPRS支持节点(GGSN)的网关单元102。GMSC专注于核心网114和诸如公共陆地移动网络(PLMN)或者公共交换电话网络(PSTN)的外部网络(EXT)124之间的电路交换连接，并且GGSN专注于核心网114和外部网络124例如因特网之间的分组交换连接。
中心100控制无线电接入网104，它可以包括至少一个控制至少一个基站(BS)108的基站控制器(BSC)106。基站控制器106也可以被称为无线电网络控制器，以及基站108可以被称为节点B。
媒体流126由广播系统118广播。媒体流126可以包括例如无线电或者电视节目、广告或者通知。媒体流126可以包括演讲、音乐或者图片。但是，媒体流126的内容和本解决方案无关。
按照本发明一个方面的系统更进一步包括连接到通信网络114和广播系统118的服务器(SERVER)112，其通过使用蜂窝电信系统的无线电接口来给用户设备110提供与媒体流关联的服务128。服务器112可以是一个计算机，例如带有到通信网络114和广播系统118接口的个人计算机或者工作站。服务器112的物理位置直到被请求连接为止与存在的外部网络和设备无关。
用户设备110包括用户终端(UT)120，其通过使用由基站108提供的无线电接口在蜂窝电信系统中通信。用户设备110更进一步包括媒体接收器(MRX)122，例如FM接收器或者电视接收器，来接收由广播系统118提供的媒体流126。
服务器112可以被连接到中心100，网关单元102，无线电接入网104，或者通信网络116的其他部分。在一个实施例中，服务器112通过蜂窝电信系统的无线电接口和通信网络116通信。
基站108可以使用GPRS方式和用户设备110通信，GPRS方式使用在分组中传输数据，该分组除了实际数据以外还包括地址和控制数据。多个连接可以同时使用相同的传输信道。该分组交换方法适合于其中被传送的数据被突发生成的数据传送。在这种情况下，不必为整个传送期间而仅仅为用于传送该分组的时间分配数据链路。这在启动和使用通信网络116期间相当大地降低了成本和节省了容量。
服务器112，例如，控制在用户设备110和通信网络116之间流动的内容。服务器112也可以促进对用户设备110的服务的内容的定时发送。
服务128给用户设备110提供与用在发送媒体流126到用户的广播信道并行的通信信道。这被称为并行信道操作。逻辑地址可以被专用于服务128以使得服务128可以通过利用服务器112的数据库(DB)130的逻辑地址而被访问。服务的数据库130包括包含服务内容的计算机文件。服务的内容可以作为时间的函数并且可能作为媒体流126的内容的函数而变化。128服务提供比特流给用户设备110，这些比特流包括信息内容，例如图形信息、文本信息、声音的信息、计算机程序、盲文、振动或任何这些内容的组合。在一个实施方案中，服务128的内容显示在用户设备110的显示器上。
当在用户设备110中的并行信道软件操作开始时，用户设备110可以传送有关它本身的信息到服务器112，并且服务器112通知媒体流126的用户设备110。根据与用户设备110有关的信息，会发送内容的一个专用变量，它包含与每个用户设备110的容量和屏幕尺寸相适应的图像对象。
服务提供者是对服务128的相关数字内容具有支配权力的一方，将服务128提供给用户设备的分布式系统，和可能能够为了服务128向用户收费。服务提供者的传送系统用于接收和管理发送请求并且发送服务128到用户设备110。
在用户设备110，系统提供一个综合用户经验，允许该用户开始收听媒体流116和接收关于媒体流116的服务的内容。媒体操作基于两个信道，由蜂窝电信信道使能的广播信道和并行信道。另一方面，媒体系统提供可视的和交互的平行信道功能性，例如，接收和显示内容和将用户的交互报告给服务器112。
在一个实施例中，在媒体流126和服务128之间的关联是基于服务128的特征和媒体流126的特征的。如果在服务128的特征和媒体流126的特征之间有链接的话，服务128和媒体流126被认为相互关联。媒体流126可以和一个或多个服务128关联。服务128可以和一个或多个媒体流126关联。
关联数据是在媒体流126和服务128之间提供链接的一条信息。在显式链接中，关联数据提供媒体流126和服务128的显式特征以使得通过利用该关联数据，可以将想要的媒体流126，例如一个无线电体育节目，和一个服务128，例如关于该节目的体育结果发送给用户设备110。在这种情况下，该关联数据包括，例如，无线电广播使用的频率和提供体育结果的服务128的地址。该特征可以是例如服务标识或无线电信道标识。该特征可以制定服务128或媒体流126的内容，例如体育内容。
在隐式的链接中，该关联数据包括用来提供媒体流126和服务128的显式特征的信息。该隐式的链接要求该显式链接对系统某处的用户设备可用。该显式链接可以根据用户设备110的历史从用户设备110或者从服务提供者获得。例如，该关联数据包括无线电台的标识。在这种情况下，该标识可以输入相关寄存器，它返回服务128的标识和可能被媒体流126使用的频率。该服务标识可以被用于配置用户设备110，并且服务128可以通过使用该配置被访问。关联寄存器可以被定位在用户设备110中或提供服务128的服务器中，或者在系统中的任何地方，只要用户设备110可以访问该关联寄存器即可。
关联数据可以根据，例如服务的多样性而在不同程度上与媒体流和服务关联。
关联数据可以包括下列类型的信息：无线电服务地址、服务标识、对象标识、无线电广播公司标识号、节目标识号、业务量通告标识号、业务量节目标识号、节目项目号、紧急状况告警消息、音乐/语音指示器、用于媒体流的无线电频率、节目服务名称、节目类型标识号、国家代码和位置信息。
在一个实施例中，系统包括连接到服务器112和广播系统118的内容创建工具(CCT)132来为服务128提供内容。该内容创建工具132在一些应用中也可以被称作可视无线电工具，它可以用来创建服务内容呈现(presentation)以在用户设备110上显示。内容创建工具132可以位于和集成到广播系统118中。
内容创建工具132可以允许广播系统来创建一个可视呈现和管理在用户设备110的屏幕上显示的与媒体流126同步的内容流。
内容创建工具132也可以定义时间在用户设备110中相对于广播媒体流的时间安排来显示服务128的内容。
在一个实施方案中，服务器112包括交互引擎(IE)136用于将服务请求从用户设备110转发到提供请求的服务128的服务数据库130。
在一个实施方案中，服务器112包括内容传送引擎(CDE)134用于随内容一起将信号从内容创建工具132发送到在服务器112中的交互引擎136，该引擎将信号通过通信网络116发送到用户设备110。
例示的广播系统118包括定时信息模块(TIM)138、动态内容发送模块(DCDM)140、广播内容发送模块(BCDM)142和用户接口(UI)144。
广播内容发送模块142将媒体流126传送到媒体接收器122，比如无线电接收机或电视接收机。所述传输可以通过使用模拟或数字传输来实现。传输信道可以通过使用频分、时分、码分、或者它们的混合而和其他信道多路复用。
定时模块138给服务器112提供有关媒体流126和从服务器112到用户设备110的数据流的传输之间的时间关系的定时信息。定时模块138例如提供有关由广播系统118广播的特定节目的起始时间和结束时间的信息，以及广告休息定时的信息或者媒体流126中的相关时间结构。
用户设备110可以包含传统元件，包括无线调制解调器、具有软件的处理器、存储器、用户接口和显示器。媒体接收器122和用户终端120的结构为本领域的技术人员所知。
用户设备110可以更进一步包括专用的软件模块来创建由媒体流126和服务128组成的平行信道经验。该软件模块可以通过使用本地的操作系统，例如Symbian，或利用程序设计环境，例如Java MIDP(移动信息设备描述)来实现。
图2示出了包括通信网络200、广播系统204、服务器210和用户设备202的系统的简化结构。用户设备202可以在将包括和关联数据、请求和用户标识有关的信息的任何信息发送到通信网络200的过程中利用返回信道220，比如由GPRS方法提供的信道。在图2中所示的系统的元件的结构和功能与在图1中所代表的那些相当。
按照本发明的第二方面，系统更进一步地包括关联数据源212，用于给用户设备110提供将媒体流216与服务218关联起来的关联数据228。关联数据源212可以是位于服务器110、通信网络200或广播系统204中的寄存器。
按照本发明的第二方面，系统更进一步地包括可操作地连接到用户设备202和服务器210的配置装置214，用来配置系统以通过使用关联数据228为用户设备202提供和媒体流关联的服务218。
在一个实施例中，系统包括同步装置222使服务216和媒体流218同步。例如同步装置222从该广播系统118的定时信息模块124获得起始时间和广告休息信息。另外，同步装置222可以为用户设备110提供该装置用以通过与服务器112一起运行同步算法将它们的时钟与广播系统时间基准同步。同步算法可以基于从用户设备110发送到服务器112的请求的往返延迟的计算和在用户设备时钟和服务器时钟之间的差值的计算。一旦用户设备110执行同步并且媒体流的起始时间已知，媒体流时间安排基准可以被转化为在用户设备110的内部时钟中的基准。服务218的内容可以与广播同步显示给用户。
在一个实施方案中，至少配置装置214的一部分位于用户设备202中。该配置装置214可以是软件包230或寄存器，它利用例如服务218的标识的配置参数配置用户设备202，使用标识用户设备202可以访问例如在服务器210中的特定文件。
在一个实施例中，配置装置214包括基于用户设备202使用历史的信息。例如，该配置装置214是一个在用户设备202中的寄存器，它包括在服务标识符和广播节目标识号之间的映射。如果关联数据包括无线电节目标识号，用户设备202就能够使用映射获得服务标识，并通过使用服务标识来访问服务218。映射可以存在于任何表征媒体流216和服务218的信息间。映射可以由软件包230执行。
在一个实施方案中，配置装置214的至少一部分位于服务器210、通信网络200、或广播系统中。配置装置214执行的任务包括：在服务器112中设置参数以便包含服务218的内容的数据包从服务器210被路由到用户设备202。该路由包括有关用户设备202的地址的信息，这个地址从例如服务GPRS支持节点100可用。路由过程，例如在GPRS系统中，为本领域的技术人员所熟知。
在一个实施方案中，关联数据源212被连接到广播系统204，广播系统204被安排传送关联数据228的至少一部分，并且媒体接收器208是被安排接收关联数据228的至少一部分。该数据传递可以基于以模拟或数字数据传递。关联数据228可以是例如上述列举的那些之一。
在一个实施例中，关联数据228包括一个服务标识，使用它可以访问服务218。在发送关联数据到用户设备202中使用广播系统204，在通信网络容量200不改变的情况下为数据传送提供了一个便宜的方法。
在一个实施方案中，系统包括一个被连接到广播系统204的用来将至少一部分关联数据228编码进媒体流216的编码器224，并且用户设备202包括连接到媒体接收器208的解码器226，用来将至少部分关联数据从媒体流216中解码。关联数据228可以使用一个公众可用的RDS(无线电数据系统)标准而被编码进媒体流216。RDS使能信息以数字形式从广播系统204传送到媒体接收器以便媒体接收器208能够例如将该信息显示给用户或将无线电收发信机调整到想要的无线电台。RDS标准定义嵌入媒体流216的数据的结构。一部分数据用于预定的目的，比如媒体流的标识。一部分数据可以被例如广播系统的用户接口144馈送。使用RDS的优点有多个。RDS使得数据传递能够使用无线电广播系统204中的现存工具。
在一个实施例中，关联数据源212连接到通信网络200，通信网络200被安排传送至少一部分关联数据218；并且用户终端206被安排接收至少一部分关联数据218。关联数据源212可以被连接到例如中心100，包括关联数据的数据包从关联数据源212被传送到该中心。数据分组由基站108传送并由用户终端206接收。得益于例如高数据速率和标准化的数据传递协议，通信网络200提供了一种灵活的发送关联数据到用户设备的方式。
在一个实施例中，用户设备202被安排在用户终端206和媒体接收器208之间交换关联数据。在本发明的实施例中，关联数据可以由用户终端206或媒体接收器208接收。例如，媒体接收器208接收一个服务的IP地址，并且传递IP地址到用户终端206以便用户终端206可以从该IP地址获取服务218。在一个实施例中，用户终端206接收无线电台标识并传递无线电台标识到媒体接收器208。在一个实施例中，媒体接收器208被安排来，例如通过使用无线电台标识或在无线电广播使用的频率，接收与服务218有关的媒体流216。关联数据的交换使能一个配置系统的有效的方式，因为不必由用户在用户终端206和媒体接收器208之间传送信息。
在一个实施例中，用户设备202被配置来自动地存储至少一部分关联数据，并且配置装置214被安排来通过使用该部分关联数据配置系统。因为不必由用户记住关联数据，该自动存储使能一个配置系统的便利的方式。
在一个实施例中，用户终端206被安排来传送至少一部分关联数据到服务器218，并且服务器218被安排来通过使用至少该部分关联数据来给用户设备202提供服务218。用户设备202可能已接收到一个通过其访问服务218的服务218的IP地址。
在一个实施例中，用户终端206被安排来请求用于配置用户设备206访问服务218的配置参数，通过使用至少一部分关联数据，服务器218被安排来返回该配置参数；并且配置装置214被安排来用配置参数配置用户设备202。通过请求配置参数，用户设备202访问在系统上的更新的信息并且考虑到关联数据的小的信息内容。配置参数可以携带下列信息：无线电服务地址、服务标识、对象标识、无线电广播标识号、节目标识号、业务量通告标识号、业务量节目标识号、节目项目号、紧急状况告警消息、音乐/语音指示器、由媒体流使用的无线电频率、节目服务名称、节目类型标识号、国家代码和位置信息。用户设备202可以例如传送无线电广播标识号到服务器210，服务器返回给用户终端206广播媒体流216中使用的无线电频率和对象识别。提供媒体流216的无线电频率和对象标识可以保存在用户设备202中，以便由与媒体流216相关的服务218提供的对象可以通过利用例如预置以一个便利的方式被访问。
在一个实施例中，用户设备202被安排给用户显示至少一部分关联数据，用户设备202被安排登记来自至少该部分关联数据的项目选择，以及配置装置214被安排来通过使用该项目配置系统。关联数据可以包括例如媒体接收器208可用的提供无线电台的名称的节目服务名称。节目服务名称列表可以在用户设备202的显示器上显示给用户，用户可以从中选择一个项目。被选择的项目由用户设备202登记。该项目也可以包括服务标识。项目可以存储在用户设备202的预置中以备后用。在一个实施例中，用户选择被传送到服务器210的项目。为了提供在配置用户设备202访问服务218和关联媒体216中使用的配置参数，服务器210返回更具体的信息，比如服务标识和无线电频率。配置可以包括配置用户设备202的用户接口中的预置。预置可以提供表征服务218和媒体流216的任何信息。
