Abstract

The invention is of use to all television viewers who would like to watch a TV event in the near future, who fear missing said event due to forgetfulness or distraction when zapping through other programmes. By automatically zapping, the decoder places said TV event in the field of view of the viewer who has to do nothing. The aim of the invention is to provide a new DVB table with a supplementary service to those already on offer. This table is to inform the decoder of the beginning of each TV event on each channel which may be viewed using the same, whilst remaining tuned to one channel, such as to be able to compare the identity thereof with the event selected by the viewer at a previous moment with the goal of watching the same. At the start of a TV event, if the identity thereof is not recognised by the decoder the event is ignored. On the other hand where the event is recognised using the above comparison, the decoder starts the zapping to the channel broadcasting the event in an automatic manner. The viewer thus has no longer to fear missing the TV events he likes to watch, the task being left to the decoder such as a secretary manages the appointments of the boss.

But de l'inventionPurpose of the invention
Vu le nombre exorbitant de chaînes télé que nous recevons, et qui viennent s'offrir à nous sans que nous ne payons le moindre sou, et vu l'intérêt qu'elles suscitent en nous chacune dans son domaine. Nous génération de la télé, qui vivons ce boom de chaînes, et qui nous étions habitué à un nombre qui ne dépassait pas, il y a à peine quelques années, le nombres des doigts d'une seule main. Nous nous trouvons dans un désarroi total quant à la gestion de ces chaînes. On a bon à nous limiter à une liste intéressante à nos yeux, il y a toujours quelque chose à voir dans une autre chaîne qui ne fait pas partie de nos préférés. Nous avons tous eu l'amère expérience de nous rappeler, trop regarder, et cette expérience ne cesse de se répéter vu le nombre grandissant de chaînes diffusées et la qualité des programmes qui ne cesse d'exceller. Pour remédier à cela, et pour ne rater aucun programme ni rediffusion de programme, je propose une invention dont le but consiste à programmer le décodeur a zapper automatiquement sur la chaîne qui diffuse l'événement TV que le téléspectateur désir regarder, au moment même du début de cet événement, en reconnaissent automatiquement l'identité précise de l'événement TV choisi par le biais des tables DVB définies dans la norme MPEG. Ceci nous permet une maîtrise totale des événements TV que nous choisissons de regarder.Given the exorbitant number of TV channels that we receive, and come to offer us without us paying a penny, and given the interest they arouse in us each in his field. We TV generation, who live this chain boom, and we were used to a number that did not exceed, just a few years ago, the numbers of fingers with one hand. We are in total disarray as to the management of these channels. We have to limit ourselves to an interesting list in our eyes, there is always something to see in another channel that is not part of our favorites. We all had the bitter experience of reminding ourselves, too watch, and this experience continues to be repeated given the growing number of broadcast channels and the quality of programs that continues to excel. To remedy this, and to miss no program or rebroadcast program, I propose an invention whose purpose is to program the decoder zapper automatically on the channel that broadcasts the TV event that the viewer wants to watch, at the very moment of the start of this event, automatically recognize the precise identity of the chosen TV event through the DVB tables defined in the MPEG standard. This allows us total control of the TV events we choose to watch.
Etat de la technique antérieur :State of the prior art:
Depuis la conception de la DVB en 1993, les services que cette dernière peut offrir dans le domaine de la prévention des événements de télévision se limitent a ceux assurés par les tables EIT (Event Information Table) :Since the design of DVB in 1993, the services it can offer in the area of prevention of TV events are limited to those provided by the EIT (Event Information Table) tables:
-EIT Présent / Following : PID 18 et table_id 78 et 79 -EIT Schedule : PID 18 et table_id de 80 à 95 et de 96 à 111 Ces tables, à eux deux, donnent des informations sur les événements en cours et à venir sur une semaine, sur les services du multiplex d'un opérateur, cela permet de constituer un EPG (Electronic Program Guide) soit un guide électronique des programmes. Mais jusqu'alors personne n'a utilisé la technologie DVB aux fins qui sont l'objet de ce brevet, et qui consiste en la reconnaissance précise et automatique de l'identité (unique) d'un événement de programme TV, et l'utilisation de cette identité dans l'exécution automatique d'un ordre donné, par le téléspectateur, dans un temps antérieur, en l'occurrence de zapper sur l'événement TV en question, au moment même du début de cet événement .-EIT Present / Following: PID 18 and table_id 78 and 79 -EIT Schedule: PID 18 and table_id from 80 to 95 and 96 to 111 These tables, together, give information about current and future events on a week, on the services of the multiplex of an operator, this makes it possible to constitute an EPG (Electronic Program Guide) is an electronic program guide. But until then no one has used DVB technology for the purposes that are the subject of this patent, and that is the precise and automatic recognition of the (unique) identity of a TV program event, and the use of this identity in the automatic execution of a given order, by the viewer, in a previous time, in this case to zap on the TV event in question, at the very moment of the beginning of this event.
Les tables DVB, « EIT present/following » et « EIT Schedule » , qui donnent des informations sur les événement en cours et ceux qui suivent et qui sont à la base de la constitution de l' EPG, programmes TV en cours et a venir, mais du fait de leur passivité, ils ne sont pas d'une grande utilité contre l'oubli et le ratage des rediffusions de ses événement préférés. Quant à la table issue de cette invention, vu son caractère actif d'exécution d'un ordre préalablement programmé, en l'occurrence zapper sur un événement présélectionné, à partir de son spot d'annonce ou de l'EPG, représente une aubaine pour le téléspectateur devant le désarroi qu' il vit quant à la gestion de ses programmes TV, dans une époque où le nombre de chaînes ne cesse d'augmenter et la qualité des émissions ne cesse d' exceller.The DVB tables, "EIT present / following" and "EIT Schedule", which give information on the current events and the ones which follow and which are at the base of the constitution of the EPG, Current and future TV programs, but because of their passivity, they are not very useful against forgetting and missed reruns of his favorite events. As for the table resulting from this invention, given its active nature of executing a previously programmed order, in this case zapping on a preselected event, from its announcement spot or the EPG, represents a bargain for the viewer in view of the distress he is experiencing in the management of his TV programs, at a time when the number of channels continues to increase and the quality of the programs continues to excel.
Présentation de l'essence (la substance) de l'invention et son mode de réalisation :Presentation of the essence (the substance) of the invention and its embodiment:
Le DVB est une norme qui concerne la signalisation diffusée dans le flux (les tables DVB) , qui permet a tout décodeur DVB de retrouver les programmes reçus. Les différents canaux numérisés de télévision sont multiplexes. Un programme de TV se compose du flux de la composante vidéo, du flux de la composante audio, du flux des sous-titres en français, du flux des sous-titres en anglais ...etc. Chacun de ces flux est transporté par des paquets de transports qui portent un même numéro pour chacun des flux ; le Paquet Identifier (PID) . Les tables DVB servent à déterminer ce que transporte un flux de paquets de transport avec un même PID. Une même référence temporelle permet la synchronisation entre les flux élémentaires.DVB is a standard for streaming signaling (DVB tables), which allows any DVB decoder to retrieve received programs. The different digitized television channels are multiplexed. A TV program consists of the video component stream, the audio component stream, the French subtitle stream, the English subtitle stream, and so on. Each of these flows is transported by transport packets that carry the same number for each stream; the Identifier Package (PID). DVB tables are used to determine what a transport packet stream carries with the same PID. The same time reference allows the synchronization between the elementary streams.
Notre projet consiste en l'élaboration d'une nouvelle table DVB fournissant un service supplémentaire a ceux déjà existants. Cette table est sensée informer le décodeur du début de chaque événement de chaque chaîne pouvant être reçu par ce dernier, tout en étant calé sur une seule chaîne, afin qu'il puisse comparer son identité avec celles des événements saisit par le téléspectateur, dans un temps antérieur, dans le but de les regarder. Aussi, cette table est sensée fournir au décodeur cours sur écran tout au long de sa diffusion, afin d'en permettre la saisie.Our project consists in the development of a new DVB table providing an additional service to those already existing. This table is supposed to inform the decoder of the beginning of each event of each channel that can be received by the latter, while being stalled on a single channel, so that it can compare its identity with those events captured by the viewer, in a previous time, in order to look at them. Also, this table is supposed to provide the decoder course on screen throughout its broadcast, to allow the seizure.
Au moment du début d'un événement TV, si l'identité de ce dernier n'est pas reconnue par le décodeur, l'événement est ignoré. Par contre, dans le cas où elle est reconnue, par la comparaison cité ci-dessus, le décodeur prend l'initiative de zapper sur la chaîne TV diffusant cet événement de manière automatique. Ainsi le téléspectateur n'aura plus à se faire de soucis de rater les événements TV qu' il aime regarder, cette tache sera laissée au décodeur. Tel une secrétaire qui gère les rendez-vous de son patron.At the start of a TV event, if the identity of the event is not recognized by the decoder, the event is ignored. On the other hand, in the case where it is recognized, by the comparison cited above, the decoder takes the initiative of zapping on the TV channel broadcasting this event automatically. So the viewer will not have to worry about missing the TV events that he likes to watch, this task will be left to the decoder. Like a secretary who manages the appointments of his boss.
Pour ce faire, avant l'émission des programmes, chaque événement TV ou annonce d' événement doit avoir une identité codée de façon qu'à la réception, au niveau du décodeur, chaque événement ou annonce d' événement sera identifié individuellement. Cette identité sera transporté par la table NEIT (Network Event Identity table) qui comprendra (portera) l'identité de chaque événement de chaque programme pouvant être reçu par le décodeur. La table NEIT fera partie de l'ensemble des tables que comporte chaque programme ; autrement dit, la PMT (Program Map Table) de chaque programme doit comporter le PID de la NEIT en plus des PID des autres tables qui constituent le programme. La NEIT est unique pour tous les programmes. A titre d'exemple, un programme de TV se compose du flux de la composante vidéo, du flux de la composante audio, du flux des sous-titres en français, du flux des identités des événements et annonces d' événements, ...etc .To do this, before the programs are broadcast, each TV event or event announcement must have an encrypted identity so that upon reception at the decoder, each event or event announcement will be individually identified. This identity will be carried by the NEIT table (Network Event Identity Table) which will include (will bear) the identity of each event of each program that can be received by the decoder. The NEIT table will be part of the set of tables in each program; in other words, the Program Map Table (PMT) for each program must include the NEIT PID in addition to the PIDs of the other tables that make up the program. NEIT is unique for all programs. For example, a TV program consists of the video component stream, the audio component stream, the French subtitle stream, the event identity and event announcement stream, etc. etc.
Sachant que le décodeur reconnaît les paquets associés à l'identification correspondant au programme sélectionné et ignore les autres. Or, le programme sélectionné comprend parmi ses tables la NEIT, qui informe le décodeur de l'identité des événements en cours de diffusion et ceux qui viennent juste de comparer l'identité de chaque événement qui vient de commencer avec l'identité des événements qui ont été saisi pour être regardé. Si un de ces événements fraîchement reçu, est identifié autant que tel , le décodeur zappe automatiquement sur la chaîne où cet événement est diffusé .Knowing that the decoder recognizes the packets associated with the identification corresponding to the selected program and ignores the others. However, the selected program includes among its tables the NEIT, which informs the decoder of the identity of the events being broadcast and those just coming from compare the identity of each event that has just started with the identity of the events that were entered to be viewed. If any of these freshly received events are identified as such, the decoder automatically zaps to the channel where this event is broadcast.
Saisi d' un événement: TV :Entered an event: TV:
Comme nous venons de le voir, pour que le décodeur puisse zapper de manière automatique au moment opportun, il faut qu'au préalable le téléspectateur saisisse l'identité de l'événement choisi sur le décodeur, en tenant pendant trois secondes la touche de la télécommande réservée pour cette tâche. Pour ce faire il y a trois manières :As we have just seen, in order for the decoder to be able to zap automatically at the right moment, the viewer must first seize the identity of the event chosen on the decoder, holding for three seconds the key of the remote control reserved for this task. To do this there are three ways:
-Le téléspectateur peut saisir l'identité de l'événement TV choisi à partir de l'identité du spot d'annonce du même événement, disponible sur le décodeur au moment même de la diffusion de ce spot d'annonce.-The viewer can enter the identity of the selected TV event from the identity of the ad spot of the same event, available on the decoder at the time of the broadcast of this ad spot.
-Le téléspectateur peut saisir l'identité de l'événement TV choisi durant la diffusion du même événement pour qu'il soit, ensuite, reconnu et auto-zappé par le décodeur lors du début d'une rediffusion ultérieur .-The viewer can enter the identity of the TV event chosen during the broadcast of the same event so that it is then recognized and auto-zapped by the decoder at the beginning of a subsequent rebroadcast.
-Le téléspectateur peut saisir l'identité de l'événement TV choisi à partir de la case descriptive de cet événement, disponible sur le guide électronique de programme (EPG) .-The viewer can enter the identity of the TV event selected from the descriptive box of this event, available on the electronic program guide (EPG).
Il est important de noter que deux conditions s'imposent concernant l'identité de l'événement et celle du spot d'annonce du même événement:It is important to note that there are two conditions regarding the identity of the event and the announcement spot of the same event:
La première condition est que l'identité du spot d'annonce de l'événement doit contenir l'identité du même événement, afin d'en permettre la saisie. -La deuxième condition est que l'identité du spot d'annonce de l'événement, doit avoir un préfixe qui l'identifie autant qu'annonce de l'événement, et non pas l'événement lui même.The first condition is that the identity of the announcement spot of the event must contain the identity of the same event, in order to allow the entry. -The second condition is that the identity of the announcement spot of the event, must have a prefix that identifies as much as the announcement of the event, not the event itself.
Il sera aussi nécessaire que l'EPG, en plus des informations qu'il fournit sur les programmes, de fournir aussi le code d'identité de chaque événement TV, afin d'en permettre la saisie .It will also be necessary for the EPG, in addition to the information it provides on the programs, to also provide the identity code of each TV event, in order to allow it to be entered.
Définition de la table NEITDefinition of the NEIT table
La table NEIT : (Network Event Identity Table) est une table DVB définie dans la norme MPEG, qui est sensé véhiculer l'identité de chaque événement TV diffusé ou chaque annonce d'événement. Cette identité est unique pour chaque événement ou annonce d'événement. Elle doit aussi comporter l'identité de la chaîne sur la quelle cet événement est diffusé afin que le décodeur puisse zapper sur l'événement.The NEIT table (Network Event Identity Table) is a DVB table defined in the MPEG standard, which is supposed to convey the identity of each broadcast TV event or event announcement. This identity is unique for each event or event announcement. It must also include the identity of the channel on which this event is broadcast so that the decoder can zap on the event.
Ergonomie :Ergonomics:
Pour une meilleure ergonomie, le code d'identité d'un événement TV doit indiquer s'il s'agit de sa première diffusion, première rediffusion, deuxième ou troisième. Par exemple, si un téléspectateur suit une série TV, et ne peut être présent chez lui qu'après le travail à 18H00 et il dort à 23H00. Dans ce cas, il saisit la rediffusion de la série TV qui passe dans cette tranche de temps, par exemple si la deuxième rediffusion passe à 21H00, il ne saisit que cette dernière, pour que le décodeur ne zappe que sur la deuxième rediffusion, en ignorant les autres diffusion.For better ergonomics, the identity code of a TV event must indicate if it is its first broadcast, first rebroadcast, second or third. For example, if a viewer follows a TV series, and can only be at home after work at 18H00 and he sleeps at 23H00. In this case, it captures the replay of the TV series that passes in this time slot, for example if the second rebroadcast goes to 21H00, it only captures the latter, so that the decoder only zap on the second replay, in ignoring others broadcast.
Le téléspectateur peut saisir l'identité du journal télévisé d'une chaîne donnée, que le décodeur peut la lui faire zapper quotidiennement de manière automatique.The viewer can enter the identity of the newscast of a given channel, which the decoder can have it zap daily on an automatic basis.
Si le téléspectateur veut éteindre sa télé en laissant le dé d ll é derni t l'id tité d l'événement saisi, prend non seulement l'initiative de zapper sur la chaîne correspondante, mais aussi, il prend une deuxième initiative celle d'allumer le poste de télévision. If the viewer wants to turn off his TV by letting the last dice die the id tity of the event seized, takes not only the initiative to zap on the corresponding channel, but also, it takes a second initiative that to turn on the television set.
