Abstract

The blocking device detects an identification at the beginning and end of the advertisment, to operate a switch allowing the tone or video signal to be switched out and back in, or allowing the radio or television receiver to be switched to a different station for the duration of the advertisments. Pref. the identification is in the form of a given melody detected by a pattern recognition device. ADVANTAGE - Prevents user having to listen to, or watch, unwanted advertisments.

Description

Bei vielen Fernseh- und Rundfunksendern wird das laufende Programm durch Werbung unterbrochen. Diese Werbungen sind bei vielen Teilnehmern unerwünscht. Die Erfindung soll die Werbesendungen ausblenden bzw. stummschalten. Bei Rundfunksendern kann für die Dauer der Werbesendung das Gerät ausgeschaltet werden oder es kann auf einen anderen Sender umgeschaltet werden der keine Werbung ausstrahlt. Bei Fernsehsendern kann für die Dauer der Werbungssendung entweder nur der Ton abgeschaltet oder Ton und Bild abgeschaltet werden. Außerdem kann auch noch während der Werbung auf einen anderen Sender umgeschaltet werden. Zur Aktivierung wird das Tonsignal des Rundfunks oder Fernsehempfängers ständig überwacht. Aus dem Tonsignal wird ständig eine neue binäre Signalfolge gebildet. Zur Einleitung einer Werbesendung gibt der Sender eine bestimmte Melodie oder Aussage aus. Das binäre Muster dieser Melodie wird vom Werbungsausblender erkannt. Nach dem Erkennen des Musters wird der Umschaltvorgang ausgelöst. Geschützt werden soll nicht die el. Schaltung; sondern die Anordnung der Baugruppen.

4 Zusatzgerät mit Erkennungs- und SteuerelektronikWith many television and radio stations, the current program is interrupted by advertising. These advertisements are undesirable for many participants. The invention is intended to hide or mute the commercials. With radio stations, the device can be switched off for the duration of the advertising program or it can be switched to another station that does not broadcast any advertising. With television stations, either only the sound can be switched off or the sound and picture can be switched off for the duration of the commercial. It is also possible to switch to another station while advertising. The sound signal of the radio or television receiver is constantly monitored for activation. A new binary signal sequence is continuously formed from the sound signal. To initiate an advertising program, the broadcaster issues a certain melody or message. The advertisement fade-out recognizes the binary pattern of this melody. After recognizing the pattern, the switching process is triggered. The el. Circuit should not be protected; but the arrangement of the assemblies.
