Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for storing and reproducing TV programs.
- the present invention provides an improved method and an improved arrangement for operation ei ⁇ nes network PVR.
- PVR personal video recorder
- DVR digital video recorder
- a commonly used feature of a PVR is, for example, the so-called time-shifting television (Time Shifting), in which the user already starts playing a program while the recording is still running. Thanks to the powerful hardware of a modern PVR, the image quality achieved is better than that of a conventional VHS or SVHS tape device.
- the Time shifting allows the user also set a first live respected broadcast to "pause" to receive approximately ei ⁇ nen call and playback later fortzu ⁇ , which is representing the user as if he had actually live Emission paused and later continued.
- the pressure of the user on the "pause” button has caused its PVR, the current Pro ⁇ gram record, and the renewed pressure on the "Pause” - button causes the recorded program on the one hand continue to be recorded and on the other hand, already is reproduced.
- Times are stored as an index for recording and so ⁇ with the playback automatic skipping the advertising is possible.
- PVR Home Theater PC
- Both platform variants are able to provide the user with additional functions through configurable software or firmware, such as the search for programs that fit thematically to their favorite programs.
- the recording is local to the user and the amount of recordable broadcasts is limited by the local disk storage. Frequently it is therefore possible to transfer to ⁇ marked mail from internal memory to recordable media such as (re) writable CD or DVD.
- this is associated with effort, and not least, the price of a PVR is significant.
- PVR suffer from the problem that for parallel recording shipments also require several PVRs. More expensive multi-player devices solve this problem only to a limited extent, since there are always fewer tuners than TV stations and, in addition, the hardware of the PVR, which is sufficiently powerful for one channel, reaches its limits in the parallel recording of several channels.
- nCube Corporation available on the Internet at http: //www.ncube. com / pressroom / downloads / nvpr-whitepaper .pdf
- a network PVR is proposed in which storage, coding logic and codecs are held by a provider in the cable network.
- the user receives a device with which he can select programs for storage and retrieve stored programs, which are then transmitted via broadband connection in real time to the user.
- Such a device may be much less powerful compared to a PVR or a HTPC.
- the user can practically unlimited storage space on the central PVR server rent, while the operator of the PVR server only a copy of each shipment must hold, which is then distributed as needed to those users who this shipment in their (virtual) Spei rather have filed.
- such a network PVR can be configured such that the "programming" of the network PVR by the user is eliminated and the user instead has access to all the messages of his program bouquet for the last 4 weeks.
- a PVR server with means for receiving a plurality of digitally coded TV channels, means for supplying a plurality of terminals and means for recording to be stored TV broadcasts;
- At least one terminal with means for selecting to spei ⁇ chernder TV broadcasts and means for transmitting the selection to the PVR server; and - means for reproducing the ⁇ by the terminal to SpeI insurance selected recorded TV program as a continuous TV program on the terminal.
- the invention further relates to a method for storing and reproducing TV programs, comprising the following steps:
- the invention advantageously facilitates the selection of interesting TV programs by virtue of the invention in that the user defines a selection on his terminal and the recorded programs can then be reproduced as a continuous, personal TV program, this personal program then not being further User interaction is needed to run.
- the selection may include parallel broadcasts which are then reproduced in a sequence selected by the user or the PVR server for playback. be seen.
- the user can skip programs or parts of it during playback, if they are not interesting in an individual case or generally for him. From the regular skipping of programs or parts thereof user preferences can be automatically formed, for example, that of a certain, regularly broadcasted program only the first 30 minutes are of interest to the user.
- EPG Electronic Program Guide
- the selection of broadcasts may also be made by the user specifying preferences, such as the main messages of all regional broadcasters; all movies / series with a specific actor / director; and / or all reports, documentaries and / or films on a specific topic.
- the preferences can, as indicated above, be determined and / or adapted at least partially automatically by evaluating which of the programs transmitted as a personal TV program skips the users.
- the prerequisite is that for example, the PVR server destationen from the video text Sen ⁇ or from the Internet or entering by operating personnel of the PVR server, for each broadcast Sen ⁇ dung metadata determine may allow a comparison with the user's preferences.
- the selection of broadcasts can be made by a group of users whose members, for example, know each other that they have similar interests in the selection of TV broadcasts.
- One or more users within the user group can record a broadcast all other users are then invited to approve or reject this proposal. For example, if the majority of the votes cast for recording on ⁇ drawing, the program will be recorded for all users and later be played within their personal TV program.
- it may be provided to additionally manage personal preferences for each user of the user group so that a program rejected by a user does not appear in his personal TV program and / or a program desired by a user contrary to the majority rejection in his personal TV program. Program is included.
- VoD Video on Demand
- the sole FIGURE shows an arrangement 100 with a network PVR or PVR server 102 and terminals 104A..104N supplied by the latter.
- the PVR server 102 receives digitally encoded TV channels from an encoder 120.
- the encoder in turn emp ⁇ the TV channels starts from a receiver 122, 128 receives appropriate TV signals which via terrestrial generic antenna 124 and / or satellite antenna 126 and / or TV cable.
- the encoder 600 and the receiver 122 can be constructed as one device.
- the encoder 120 uses a codec such as MPEG2 or MPEG4 or derived codecs to convert the initially present in analog TV signals into an efficient digital data format.
- a TV channel is already present as a digital data stream, for example as Digital Video Broadcast DVB (received terrestrially as DVB-T, via cable as DVB-C or via satellite as DVB-S), the encoder 120 can unmodified this data stream to the PVR Forward server 102 or modify before forwarding, for example, by adjusting the bandwidth of the data stream to the bandwidth of the connection to the terminals 104.
- Digital Video Broadcast DVB received terrestrially as DVB-T, via cable as DVB-C or via satellite as DVB-S
- the encoder 120 can unmodified this data stream to the PVR Forward server 102 or modify before forwarding, for example, by adjusting the bandwidth of the data stream to the bandwidth of the connection to the terminals 104.
- the PVR server is coupled to a mass storage 108, such as a hard disk array or HDD array.
- a mass storage 108 such as a hard disk array or HDD array.
- Numerous methods are known in the art for building up redundant mass storage arrays from hard disks, which nevertheless can completely deliver the stored data in the event of the failure of individual hard disks.
- the use of such a redundant array e.g. A redundant array of independent hard disks (RAID) is advantageous in the context of the present invention because a PVR server 102 and attached mass storage 108 stores all or at least a large proportion of the data of the TV recordings of numerous users.
- the user terminals 104 are connected to the PVR server 102 at ⁇ example via the TV cable network or via a DSL connection.
- Modern codecs allow an acceptable Vi ⁇ deotown with transmission rates of a few hundred kbit / s. With the bandwidths of several Mbit / s that are technically possible via DSL connections, two or more parallel video streams (for different playback devices in the user's household) or a single video stream with high quality are conceivable.
- the terminals 104 may be equipped or coupled with local memory 110, which may be designed, for example, as a conventional hard disk and / or as flash memory and / or as RAM. Of course, special forms such as micro-hard disks in flash memory card format are also available conceivable. Flash memory has the advantage that a SpeI ⁇ assurance of data regardless of the application of a supply voltage is possible and at the same time particularly quiet Endge ⁇ boards are enabled 104 because flash memory does not have the rotieren- or other mechanical parts.
- the memory 110 can be fixed to the terminal 104 gekop ⁇ pelt or designed interchangeable.
- the memory 110 of the terminals 104 has lower requirements than the mass memory 108 with regard to redundancy and reliability.
- the terminal CPE 104 may be a set-top box connected to a video display device 116. Alternatively, the terminal may in the image display device 104 may be integrated ⁇ 116th
- the image display device 116 may be a conventional television. Alternatively, it can be a monitor that does not have a TV tuner itself.
- the terminal 104 has a user interface 106, which serves the user, for example, to manage his archive on ⁇ recorded TV broadcasts. Be implemented as in the field of set-top boxes This user interface can, as usual, so that the user makes inputs via a Fernbedie ⁇ voltage and gets displayed via the image display device 116 outputs.
- the user interface 106 serves togruzei an EPG ⁇ gene and to allow the user to navigate therein.
- the EPG-based selection of broadcasts can comprise not only individual broadcasts, but also, for example, all episodes of a series, all news broadcasts of a particular channel, or even the weekly or daily broadcast of the same broadcast station.
- preferences by means of the user interface 106, for example the main messages of all regional stations; all movies / series with a certain actor / director; and / or all reports, documentaries and / or films on a specific topic.
- the preferences can be determined and / or adapted automatically at least partially by evaluating which of the programs of the users reproduced as a personal TV program skips or which broadcasts / which type of programs he additionally always reprograms.
- Pre ⁇ requisite for selecting programs according to the user's preferences for recording by the PVR server 102 for example, that the PVR functions server from the teletext of Sendesta ⁇ or determine from the Internet or input by operating personnel of the PVR server for each broadcast program metadata can, which allow a comparison with the user preferences.
- the operator of the PVR server offers the users the possibility to set up and manage user groups 140 (or this is done by the operator of the PVR server).
- a database 132 can be provided, in which the user groups and the terminals belonging to the respective user groups are noted.
- the establishment and management of Nationalgrup ⁇ pen is preferably performed using the user interface 106, for example by a user other users "invites" and these confirm the invitation. If a user from the user group 140 are removed, this can be done with ⁇ means of a majority vote of the other users, for example - also supported by the user interface 106th
- the members of such a user group 140, the example ⁇ be aware of each other that they have similar interests in the selection of TV shows, select programs from by one or more users within the user group a Sen ⁇ dung suggest to record, and all other Users are then asked to approve or reject this proposal. For example, if the majority of the votes cast is for the record, the program will be sent to all users. recorded and later played within their personal TV program.
- a user who belongs to a user group that well maps his or her own interests can base their selection of "his" personal program solely on the selection of the other users.
- the user does not have to actively participate in the selection; Depending on the user group, their inactivity can be counted as abstention or approval.
- the inputs of a user or the user of a user group are sent to the PVR server 102, which generates from the received data (individual broadcast, broadcast groups, user preferences, polls of users of a user group 140) records that identify all recorded TV broadcasts. By means of a scheduler the corresponding TV programs are provided for recording.
- a first database 130 such as a user database, administered by ei ⁇ nem for receiving user provided program and checks the user authorizations loading, such as whether the user has subscribed to the respective TV channel.
- the PVR server 102 checks, in cooperation with the database 130, whether one (only one) user has provided this program for recording. If this is the case, the recording is made. In this case, the data resulting from the recording can be stored completely in the memory 108 of the PVR server or in one split and a central part and stored accordingly in the memory 110 of the terminal 104 or in the mass storage 108. If the shipment has been programmed to record at a plurality of terminals 104 can be either a common copy me be provided which completely or their centering ⁇ tral portion in the memory 108 of the PVR server is stored 102, or a separate copy for each terminal is he ⁇ presents.
- the first database 130 is then for each ⁇ of the terminal, which had provided the program for recording, stored addressing information on the joint or separate copy, such as a file name or sons ⁇ term index information.
- stored addressing information on the joint or separate copy such as a file name or sons ⁇ term index information.
- Such user-related entry can contain the program in the form of metadata more information about an expiration date or the positions NO ORAL ger commercials to skipping the same surfaces to ermögli ⁇ .
- a reproduction is performed by a user by means of user-cut parts 106 at terminal 104 may be a personal TV Prog ⁇ ramm retrieves, which is sent from the database 130 to the terminal 104 for display on the screen 116th
- TV broadcasts can also be viewed in real time, ie the PVR server 102 forwards the video data received from the encoder 120 directly to the user terminal or terminals 104 whose personal TV program includes the corresponding program.
- a parallel storage of the deo data to allow users to "pause" the program.
- Terminal 104 and stored in the mass storage 108 parts of the recording in the PVR server 102 are combined.
- the data stored in the terminal are first transmitted to the PVR server and combined there.
- the completed video data is sent to the terminal 104 for playback as a real-time data stream.
- the portions of the recording stored in the memory 110 of the selecting terminal 104 and those stored in the mass memory 108 may be combined in real time in the terminal 104.
- the mass storage 108 In a corresponding user input toward the gene from incomplete ⁇ video data by means of the PVR server 102 are sent from the mass storage 108 as near-real-time data stream to the terminal 104, there supplemented to the data stored in the data terminal 104 and reproduced.
- Near-real-time data stream means that, depending on the nature of the selected division of data between local memory 110 and mass storage 108, larger amounts of data in the local memory can be located, such as intro sequences that are played first before the previously possibly buffered data from the mass storage 108 are prepared for playback.
- a further embodiment of the present invention can be determined with further details, which broadcasts a user selects for his personal TV program, which he actually looks at and how he otherwise uses "his" network-based PVR. Based on the thus determined Konsumverhal ⁇ least the user video can then selectively be made that can be delivered from a VoD server 150 on Demand; Also it is possible to match the pricing on the determined consumer behavior by, for example, films esting for a user expected, particularly inte ⁇ offered more expensive and films bis him long not interested, cheaper or offered for free.
- the integration of the VoD server 150 in the device 100 can be done in various ways.
- the PVR server as shown in the figure, 102 receive the video data from the VoD server 102 and unchanged reach further ⁇ to the requesting terminal 104th
- the PVR server 102 may adjust the data rate to the data rate of the connection to the requesting terminal 104. It is also possible to couple the VoD server to the terminals 104 so that the data does not have to pass through the PVR server - not shown.
- the VoD server 150 If the VoD server 150 is operated by a different operator than the PVR server 102, it can be provided for reasons of data protection that the consumption behavior of users who use their data in a corresponding manner only compared to the Operators of the PVR server 102 have been made available only to the operator of the PVR server 102. In this case, the VoD server 150 a list of all content standing for retrieval along with inhaltsbeplolot- the metadata to the PVR server supply 102 which then required for a user based on its consumer behavior in question com ⁇ Menden content presented to the user and in response to User selection then requests the content from the VoD server 150 for that user.
