Description

Procedure for insertion and issuance of audiovisual information on radio receivers and decoders and digital television

Object of the invention

The present specification refers to a Patent application relating to a procedure for use of the process, storage and communication capabilities of radio and television receivers and decoders, whose obvious purpose is to allow to receive and store a information that will be presented to users at the time programmed, and to a preferred device to facilitate your implementation that does not exclude other forms of implementation.

The procedure presents the quality of allow a significant reduction in costs that, for the user, supposes the use of reception equipment and Digital TV and radio decoding, in exchange for receiving commercial information of the sponsors of said equipment. The utility of the invention derives from the fact that the runtime software used to allow the user the use of the decoder or digital radio and TV receiver, and that can be contained in a firmware device, it is made in the same programming language used by the manufacturer of said terminals, allowing the use of them to present to user, at the time determined by the program and during the time scheduled, the information of the sponsor or the sponsors of the equipment you are using.

Field of the Invention

The invention belongs to the field of information and communication technologies and refers to a process of transmission, recording and presentation of information audiovisual in radio and television receivers and decoders digital.

Said procedure can be implemented, by both in radio and television receivers and decoders digital, which are sold in stores appliances, specialized sections of department stores or large surfaces, etc.

Background of the invention

The applicant knows the existence of a series of process systems and storage media implemented in digital radio and television receivers and decoders.

The applicant knows, in particular, the use, in digital radio receivers and decoders and television, of process systems and storage media which give you the possibility of performing a series of such functions how to reproduce a static image as a logo that Sample on screen at computer startup, configure the reception of channels and programs, store settings, connect to a return channel, send information through a return channel, etc.

However, these systems present a series of inconveniences for its use, being the main and most prominent of them the high price to be paid by the end user, since the cost of the programming of the equipment and other technical actions necessary for its correctness operation, cost already noticeably more expensive by the complexity of these operations and the amount of work hours What do they suppose?

The solution to the problem in the currently in this area would be to have a technical procedure that, being compatible with the techniques already existing and can complement them, allow the entrepreneur to You want to promote or advertise your products or services, using the legal formula of the sponsorship contract, find profitable and interesting to contribute to finance part of the cost of utilization of the equipment, by allowing the programming of the same present your advertising messages to said end user who, thus, in exchange for receiving publicity, he finds a reduction in costs of using your equipment.

However, the applicant does not is aware of the current existence of a invention that has the indicated characteristics previously as suitable.

Description of the invention

The procedure for insertion and issuance of audiovisual information on radio receivers and decoders and digital television that the invention proposes configures itself as an obvious novelty within its scope, at allow, for the first time, to resolve the need to reduce the cost for users of reception and decoding equipment of radio and digital television in exchange for receiving information, at certain times, which promotes and publicizes the companies and products that sponsor the team.

The invention consists in carrying out a program, the programming language used by the manufacturer of the decoder or digital radio and television receiver, which allow to use the decoder or receiver to present to the user, at the time determined by the program and during the time to be programmed, the information of the sponsor or the sponsors of the equipment being used. The invention will equip the receiver and decoder of radio and digital television of a series of profits, which are reflected in each of the operations of the procedure

The claimed process comprises the following operations:

1. Insertion of information

The process for the insertion of information of the sponsor or sponsors consists of recording a multimedia file in the storage medium selected To implement this function.

The choice of storage device to use will depend on the technical characteristics of the decoder and of the storage devices that it incorporates.

As an enunciative character and without pretending be exhaustive the storage devices can be from a space on the hard disk available to the decoders with possibility of PVR (Personal Video Recorder) up to a card ROM memory, or preferably an EEPROM memory card that it must be incorporated into a firmware device that will be integrated into the decoder equipment, a device that is part of the invention.

The program, depending on the characteristics of the storage medium, will record the information, update the information on site or through the return channel and protect it from unauthorized deletion and modification.

The recording process will be executed according with the characteristics of the decoder or receiver equipment digital.

The recording process can be done via remote through the return channel or via local via any of the interfaces that the receiver or the decoder

2. Presentation of contents

The process for presenting the recorded information is programmed in a way that allows:

one.

Different start times of the presentation of information Said submission process may start when the receiver is turned on or off, when changing programs, after a while to tune in a program, etc.

2.

Different durations of the presentation of information

3.

Different modes of presentation of the information. These presentation modes can be: on screen complete, reproducing the information before tuning in Program; partial screen, which means that the presentation of the promoters - sponsors occur in a portion of the screen, vertical or horizontal, while in the rest it View the channel tuned by the user.

Four.

Different reproduction dynamics of information.
