Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The field of the invention is that of telecommunications, and more particularly remote programming of recordings of audiovisual content in terminals, such as for example decoders of the SetTop-Box type.

Presentation of the prior art Today, the recording of audiovisual content broadcast in real time can be done in two ways: - in advance of phase, by consulting the schedule of programs, paper or electronic, by performing a manual or automatic programming of the recording; during viewing of the audiovisual content, by instantaneous request taking the form of a simple pressing on a particular key of a user remote control, for example dedicated to the recording. Although the programming of the recording of an audiovisual content based on the knowledge, in a schedule of programs, of its date and of its future broadcast schedule, allows a certain flexibility for the user, it nevertheless imposes on him again to consult a program guide on his own initiative, then to program himself as many recordings as different contents (excluding recursive events).

In addition, the availability of a program guide prior to the broadcast of audiovisual content is limited in time and does not typically allow to know, more than two to three weeks in advance, what will be the content that will be broadcast.

As a result, whether the recording is made in advance of phase or during the viewing of the audiovisual content, such a feature is therefore limited in time. Finally, in the case of audiovisual content recording programs made in advance of phase, it may happen that the user does not really want to visualize some of the audiovisual content that has been recorded or whose recording program has been launched. The user is therefore obliged to perform on his own initiative a new action to either cancel the recording schedule, or delete the unwanted recorded audio-visual content (s). OBJECT AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One of the aims of the invention is to overcome disadvantages of the state of the art mentioned above.

For this purpose, an object of the present invention relates to a method of programming recording in a terminal of at least one audiovisual content present in an electronic program schedule. Such a method is remarkable in that it comprises the following steps: identification via a communication network of information relating to a content to which the user of the aforementioned terminal has previously had access, analysis of the identified information, creation a list of metadata associated with the content and representative of the tastes of the user, from the analyzed information, - association of the metadata list with user identification information, generating a user profile, - relative to the generated user profile, for at least one audiovisual content present in the electronic program schedule, comparison of the metadata of the list with the metadata associated with the audiovisual content considered, - if at least one of the metadata of the list is the same as one of the metadata audiovisual content considered, transmission to the terminal of the user, an instruction programming of the recording of said audiovisual content considered. Such a provision offers the user the possibility of recording, without any action on his part, all the audiovisual contents intended to be broadcast in real time which correspond to his tastes. Such a provision also allows the user to no longer be dependent on a program guide to decide whether or not to record such or such audiovisual content that pleases him, thus making the recording function completely independent of the availability of the program guide .

The invention thus makes it possible to offer the user great flexibility in accessing audiovisual content broadcast in real time that he likes, without any risk of forgetting to record it. According to a particular embodiment, the step of identifying information relating to the content is implemented by detecting, via the communication network, an action of the user of the terminal on the content to which he has accessed. Such a provision allows to deduce automatically and instantly what are the contents likely to please the user. Such identification of information may for example be carried out: in a request for sharing a content transmitted by the user via a communication network, in which the user declares his taste for such content, in a request recording of an Internet resource containing a reference to a content accessed by the user, such as for example a bookmark ("bookmark" in English), - in a request for access of the user to a server of content. According to another particular embodiment, an order of priority is assigned to each of the metadata of the metadata list, according to at least one predetermined criterion. Such an arrangement has the advantage of avoiding recording conflicts of several audiovisual contents which would be broadcast respectively in overlapping time slots. Such a predetermined criterion could be for example the number of metadata associated with each audiovisual content. In the case, for example, where several audiovisual contents are likely to conflict with respect to their respective recordings, only the recording of the audiovisual content that contains the most metadata in correspondence with the metadata of the created list is programmed. Another predetermined criterion could be, for example, the priority taking into account the metadata of the list which are the most recent. In the case, for example, where several audiovisual contents are likely to conflict with respect to their respective recordings, only the recording of the audiovisual content that contains the most recently introduced metadata in the list is programmed. According to yet another particular embodiment, the list of metadata is created after obtaining metadata from a content server from which the content has been made accessible to the user of the terminal. Such an arrangement makes it possible to quickly and easily obtain the tastes of the user for a content, directly in the form of exploitable metadata, that is to say that can be directly compared to the metadata of a grid of 20 programs. According to yet another particular embodiment, the list of metadata is created by semantic analysis of at least one of the information analyzed. Such an arrangement makes it possible, from the information relating to a content to which the user has previously had access and which have been identified as not being metadata but nevertheless as being representative of the user's tastes, of transforming this information. in the form of exploitable metadata, that is to say that can be directly compared to the metadata of a program grid. According to yet another particular embodiment, the list of metadata is updated at regular intervals. Such an arrangement makes it possible to obtain a list of metadata updated regularly and which takes into account the tastes of the moment of the user. According to yet another particular embodiment, if, as a result of the updating of the metadata list, metadata associated with audiovisual content for which a recording programming instruction has been transmitted to the terminal is deleted. user, the method comprises a step of transmitting, to the terminal of the user, an instruction for deleting the recording of the audiovisual content.

Such an arrangement saves memory resources dedicated to the recording of audiovisual content, by removing recordings or recording schedules that no longer correspond to the tastes of the user. Such an arrangement also allows the user to no longer have to perform manual actions to cancel the recording schedule or to delete the unwanted recorded audiovisual content (s). The various aforementioned embodiments or features may be added independently or in combination with each other, at the steps of the recording programming method defined above.

DESCRIPTION OF A PARTICULAR EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION The general principle of the invention is based on the automatic programming of recording of audiovisual contents that are present in an electronic program schedule, based on a prior comparison of the tastes of the user with the metadata associated with the audiovisual contents of the program grid. For this purpose, a list of metadata representative of the tastes of the user and intended to be compared with the metadata entered in the program schedule, is automatically created from the user's tastes that are retrieved on a regular basis, more to actions of the latter previously performed on content, via a communication network. In relation with FIG. 1, an SPE system for recording audiovisual content recording according to the invention is presented.

Such a system includes a PFS service platform from which a UT user has previously registered. The recording scheduling system includes a terminal STB for accessing audiovisual contents, in particular those that are broadcast, via an RD broadcast network, by a head-end server equipment TR that communicates with the service platform PFS. Such an access terminal is able to receive said audiovisual contents, to process them and to return them to the user UT. This access terminal comprises, or depending on the case, is connected to a display terminal, for example a TV set. The access terminal STB is also provided with storage means for such audiovisual content. Alternatively, the access terminal STB can also be connected to an external audiovisual content recording module. The user UT can interact with the access terminal STB using a remote control TC including keys dedicated to prerecorded commands. For example, the user can request the selection of audiovisual content previously received or recorded, by simply pressing the directional keys "<-", "->", "t", ", j," in a menu associated with viewing the content received. It can also validate the selected audiovisual content by pressing the "OK" key. When the user activates a key on his remote control, a message comprising the command associated with this key is sent to the access terminal STB according to a known and standardized communication protocol, for example an infrared remote control protocol RC5 (for " Remote Control 5 ", which will not be detailed here. Alternatively, a smart terminal ("smartphone" in English) or a tablet equipped with a suitable software application, can advantageously replace the physical remote control. For example, the intelligent terminal communicates with a remote server that sends a control message corresponding to the action chosen by the user by means of the remote control application to the access terminal STB. The access terminal STB comprises means of connection to an RC telecommunications network, such as for example of IP (abbreviation of "Internet Protocol"), which allows it to exchange information with the PFS service platform . In a known manner, the connection means to the network RC may be, for example, of the type x-DSL, fiber or 3G. Through this connection, the access terminal STB may require an electronic program guide (EPG) for electronic program comprising information relating to the broadcasts programmed by the headend TR, such as a identifier of the content concerned, the title of this content, its genre and time information of the broadcast date type, start time and end time. Such EPG information is stored in a database DB of the PFS service platform. The terminal STB is arranged to process the EPG information obtained and to render the user intelligibly those that are of interest to him. Generally, the program grid thus obtained makes it possible to display the programs over a period of fourteen days. According to the invention, the PFS service platform comprises: a GPE module for managing audiovisual content recording programming capable of transmitting to the access terminal STB audiovisual content recording programming instructions intended to be broadcast; on the distribution network RD; a user taste calculation profile GC module UT with respect to the audiovisual contents intended to be broadcast on the broadcast network RD, said module GPC communicating with the GPE module. In particular, the taste profile calculation module GC is able to detect certain actions of the user UT, in the communication network RC, with respect to a content to which the user has accessed and which he likes. Such content can be accessed by the user UT directly from a terminal T belonging to the latter or via a content server (not shown) from the terminal T. The terminal T is by example a personal computer type PC (the English "personal computer"), a mobile phone, a tablet, TV TV, etc ...

The operation of the modules GPE and CPG will be described in more detail in the following description. In relation to FIG. 2, the steps of the recording programming method in a terminal, such as, for example, the access terminal STB, of at least one audiovisual content present in an EPG electronic program schedule are now presented. Said recording programming method is implemented by the service platform PFS of FIG. 1, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. During a previous step EO shown in FIG. 2, the user UT sends, using his terminal T represented in FIG. 1, via the communication network RC, a request to the service platform PFS authorizing this last to: - either recover, via the RC communication network of Figure 1, the information associated with certain actions that the user UT is likely to perform following access by the latter, via the terminal T, to contents present on the terminal T itself or on a content server (not shown), or to directly access the information present on a content server and associated with the content to which the user has previously accessed using of its terminal T, via the communication network RC.

Such content is for example audio-visual type, audio, text, sound, etc ... It may be for example a film, a television program, a press article, a concert , of a sporting event such as in particular a football match, a music, etc ..... During a step El shown in FIG. 2, the GC module for calculating a profile of tastes identifies via the communication network RC, information relating to a content to which the user UT of the terminal T has previously had access. According to a preferred embodiment, such an identification is implemented by detecting, via the communication network RC, an action of the user UT of the terminal T on the content to which the latter has accessed.

Such an action is representative of the user's tastes UT for such content. With reference to FIG. 1, it may be, for example: - a visualization of an audiovisual content on a content server, - the addition of a bookmark ("bookmark" in English) on a content which pleases the user, from a content server or from the user UT terminal T, - a content sharing that pleases the user UT with other users, via the communication network RC, which could for example be a social network, - a positive reaction on the part of the user UT, following the access to a content, such as for example the support on a "like" icon of a Web page following the listening or viewing on the Web content appreciated by the user UT. Optionally, the UT user has the option of manually declaring his tastes for content that he has liked by sending a request to declare tastes to the PFS service platform of Figure 1. To this end, using from its terminal T, the user UT sends to the CPG module profile profile calculation, via the communication network RC, a message that explicitly contains his tastes, such as for example: "I like Brad Pitt", "I like classical music," etc. According to this option, the aforementioned El identification step consists in reading the relevant information contained in the received message, such as "Brad Pitt" and "classical music" in the above example. During a step E2 shown in FIG. 2, the profile profile calculation GC module of FIG. 1 carries out an analysis of the information identified in the various actions of the user UT that have just been mentioned.

For this purpose, the CPG module extracts all the relevant information that characterizes both the content and the tastes of the user for such content. Such a step E2 includes identifying the keywords that are related to the content viewed, listened to, shared with other members of a social network, added as a favorite / bookmark in a preference list, etc.

In the case, for example, where the action of the user UT is the access to a content on a content server, of musical type for example, the GC module for calculating taste profiles extracts from the content server the words keys associated with the content listened to by the user UT, such as for example the name of the artist and / or the title of the music / song and / or the style of the music listened to such as for example: classical, rap, blues , Advantageously, the CPG module has the possibility of recovering directly from such a content site the keywords associated with this content, in the form of metadata which are of the same type as those contained in a EPG program grid.

In the case, for example, where the action of the user UT is the addition of a bookmark on content that pleases him, from a content server or from the terminal T of the user UT, such as for example the Adding a web page on which the user has just listened to an interview with a novelist, the CPG module extracts from the address of this web page the name of the novelist, and / or the title (s) ) of his works, and / or the genre of novels, such as, for example, policeman, history, adventure, etc. In the case, for example, where the action of the user UT is the support of an icon "j 'likes' a web page following for example the viewing on the Web of content appreciated by the UT user, such as a film, the CPG module extracted in this request "I like" the title of the film and / or the actors and / or the director and / or the genre, such as, for example, adventure, comedy, science fiction, etc. During a step E3 represented in FIG. 2, the CPG module for calculating a pro Figure 1 leads to the creation of a list of metadata associated with said content and representative of the user's tastes, from said information analyzed in step E2.

Depending on the type of actions performed by the UT user as a result of viewing and / or listening to content accessed by the user: - the metadata list is created as a result of obtaining metadata from a content server from which the content has been made accessible to the user, and / or the list of metadata is created by semantic analysis of at least one of said analyzed information. In a particularly advantageous manner, the list of metadata thus created is updated at regular intervals so as to always correspond to the tastes of the moment of the user UT.

During a step E4 shown in FIG. 2, the profile profile calculation GC module of FIG. 1 associates said created metadata list with UT user identification information that has been generated. previously provided by the latter to the platform PFS of Figure 1 when registering with the latter, thereby generating a user profile. Such a taste profile is then communicated to the module GPE audiovisual content recording programming management as shown in Figure 1. During a step E5 shown in Figure 2, the GPE module proceeds relative to said profile generated user, for at least one audiovisual content present in the electronic program grid, a comparison of the metadata of said list created in step E3 metadata associated with said audiovisual content considered. According to the invention, step E5 is performed for each audiovisual content programmed in the EPG grid. During a step E6 represented in FIG. 2, if at least one of the metadata of said list is the same as one of the metadata of the audiovisual content in question, the GPE module of FIG. STB access terminal of the user UT shown in Figure 1, an IPE instruction programming the recording of said audiovisual content considered.

Of course, if none of the metadata of said list corresponds to the metadata of the audiovisual content considered, no instruction is transmitted to the access terminal STB. In view of the fact that the invention that has just been described is implemented for each audiovisual content programmed in the EPG grid, a prioritization of the metadata may be necessary to avoid the recording conflicts of several audiovisual contents that would be broadcast respectively on different channels, in overlapping time slots. For this purpose, according to one embodiment of the invention, during the aforementioned step E4, an order of priority is assigned to each of the metadata of the list created according to at least one predetermined criterion. Such a predetermined criterion is for example the number of metadata associated with each audiovisual content. In the case, for example, where several audiovisual contents are likely to conflict with respect to their respective recordings, only the recording of the audiovisual content that contains the most metadata in correspondence with the metadata of the created list is programmed. Another predetermined criterion is, for example, the priority taking into account the metadata of the list which are the most recent. In the case, for example, where several audiovisual contents are likely to conflict with respect to their respective recordings, only the recording of the audiovisual content that contains the most recently introduced metadata in the list is programmed. Following the aforementioned transmission step E6, given that the list of metadata is updated regularly, it may happen that the profile profile calculation GC module of Figure 1 deletes a metadata associated with a audiovisual content for which a record programming instruction has already been transmitted to the user UT's access terminal STB. In such a situation, during a step E7 shown in FIG. 2, if no other metadata in the list corresponds to those associated with the audiovisual content considered in the EPG grid, the GPE recording programming module of FIG. 1 transmits, to the access terminal STB user UT, an ISE instruction to delete the recording of said audiovisual content. If, on the other hand, at least one metadata of the list is common to a metadata of the audiovisual content for which an IPE recording programming instruction has been transmitted, the recording will remain, as the case may be, programmed or preserved.

The IPE recording or ISE recording deletion programming instructions are contained in IP type requests which are transmitted via the communication network RC to the access terminal STB shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. FIG. 3a, the IPE record programming instruction contains: at least one identifier ID, of the audiovisual content considered in the EPG grid, DESC descriptions information of this audiovisual content, among which are: at least one metadata MD belonging both to the UT user profile that has been generated following the implementation of the recording programming method described above and to the EPG grid, said metadata being for example the genre of the audiovisual content considered , associated time information, DD broadcast date type, HD broadcast start time, RF broadcast end time, an ID2 ID of the broadcast time, ction "registration".

As shown in FIG. 3b, the ISE record deletion instruction contains: at least the identifier ID of the audiovisual content considered in the EPG for which a recording programming instruction has already been transmitted; DESC description information for this audiovisual content, including the metadata of the EPG grid associated with this audiovisual content, such as the MD metadata, as well as the associated temporal information, such as DD broadcast date, HD broadcast start time, end of broadcasting time HF, an ID3 identifier of the action "cancellation of recording" of the audiovisual content considered. With reference to FIG. 4, the steps of the method for recording at least one audiovisual content present in an EPG program grid, as implemented by the method of the present invention, are now presented, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. STB access terminal of FIG. 1. During a step Ri represented in FIG. 4, the access terminal STB receives an instruction IPE for recording programming of an audiovisual content, such as that represented in FIG. FIG. 1, said audiovisual content being associated with at least one metadata MD (FIG. 3a) belonging to the profile of the user UT that has been generated beforehand according to the steps represented in FIG. 2. During a step R2 represented in FIG. In FIG. 4, the access terminal STB records said audio-visual content identified in the programming instruction IPE at the broadcast date and time which are mentioned in the EPG grid and which are otherwise contained in FIG. ns the received IPE programming instruction. In a manner known per se, the audio-visual content identified is recorded in an audiovisual content storage module that is contained in the terminal STB. Alternatively, such an audiovisual content storage module could be external and therefore connected to the access terminal STB. During a step R3 shown in FIG. 4, the access terminal STB deletes the programming of the recording of said audiovisual content or of said recorded audiovisual content. Such deletion can be effected in various ways.

According to a first modality, the terminal STB automatically deletes the audiovisual content once it has been viewed by the user UT. According to a second modality, whether the audiovisual content has been viewed or not, the terminal STB automatically removes the latter after a predetermined time period, for example fifteen days.

These two methods advantageously save the memory resources of the terminal STB. According to a third modality, the user UT manually deletes the recorded audio-visual contents that he does not wish to finally display, using his TC remote control shown in FIG. 1. The user also has the possibility of manually deleting using the TC remote control, recording programming instructions that he does not wish to see performed. The third mode is made possible by means of a display on the TV screen of Figure 1 of the list of audiovisual contents that have been recorded and the list of programming instructions not yet executed. According to a fourth modality, the terminal STB automatically deletes the recorded audiovisual content following receipt of an ISE record deletion instruction from the registration program management GPE module of FIG.

According to a fifth modality, when audiovisual content has not yet been recorded, but the terminal STB has received an IPE recording programming instruction, the terminal STB suppresses the instruction IPE in the case where it received a ISE delete instruction for recording audiovisual content identified in the IPE instruction.

In relation to FIG. 5, we now consider the simplified structure of a recording programming device 100 of at least one audiovisual content present in an electronic program schedule EPG, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. The programming device 100 implements the recording programming method according to the invention as described above.

The PFS service platform comprises a communication unit UC which is adapted to transmit, via an IP type RC communication network, IPE record programming instructions generated by the recording programming device 100. For example, the device 100 comprises a processing unit 110, equipped for example with a processor Pi, and driven by a computer program Pg1 120, stored in a memory M1 130 and implementing the recording programming method according to the invention . At initialization, the code instructions of the computer program Pg1 120 are for example loaded into a RAM memory (not shown) before being executed by the processor P1 of the processing unit 110. The processor of the processing unit 110 implements the steps of the recording programming method described above, according to the instructions of the computer program Pg1 120. According to the invention, the recording programming device 100 comprises the module GPC for calculating the recording. profile of the tastes of the user UT with regard to the audiovisual contents programmed in the EPG, as well as the GPE module for managing audiovisual content recording programming that have been described previously with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Referring to FIG. 5, the taste profile calculation module GC comprises: an identifying unit IDT, via the communication network RC, of real information; to a content to which the user UT has previously had access, - an ANA unit for analyzing the identified information, - a CLM unit for creating a list of metadata associated with said content and representative of the tastes of the user UT, from the analyzed information, - an associating unit ASS of said metadata list to UT user identification information, generating a user profile. The GPE audiovisual content recording programming management module comprises: 30 - relative to the generated user profile, for at least one audiovisual content present in the electronic program schedule, a CMP unit for comparing the metadata of the list the metadata associated with the audiovisual content considered. a transmission unit TRS for transmission to the terminal STB of the user of a programming instruction of the recording of said audiovisual content in question, the transmission unit TRS being activated if at least one metadata of said list is the same as one of the metadata of the audiovisual content considered. These units are driven by the processor P1 of the processing unit 110.

In relation to FIG. 7, we now consider the simplified structure of a device 200 for recording at least one audiovisual content present in an electronic program schedule, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. The recording device 200 implements the recording method according to the invention as described above. In this example, the recording device 200 is integrated with an access terminal STB to an audiovisual data stream broadcasting network. According to one variant, the device 200 could be independent and connected to the access terminal STB.

For example, the device 200 comprises a processing unit 210, equipped for example with a processor P2, and driven by a computer program Pg2 220, stored in a memory M2 230 and implementing the recording method according to FIG. 'invention. At initialization, the code instructions of the computer program Pg2 220 are for example loaded into a RAM (not shown) before being executed by the processor P2 of the processing unit 210.

According to the invention, the recording device 200 comprises: a unit RCP for receiving an instruction program for recording audiovisual content, said audiovisual content being associated with at least one metadata belonging to a UT user profile that has been generated following the implementation of the recording programming method described above, an STR unit for recording said audiovisual content at the broadcast date and time which are mentioned in the electronic program schedule EPG. Said audiovisual contents are recorded in an MS storage memory.

These units are driven by the processor P2 of the processing unit 210. The recording device 200 is arranged to cooperate with the access terminal STB and, in particular, the following modules of this terminal: a processing module INT user interactions Ul, a REC module for receiving audiovisual content streams broadcast on a broadcast network (not shown).

The invention which has just been presented has the following advantages. The first advantage is the automatic recording of audiovisual content of an EPG according to the user's tastes. The second advantage is the possibility for the user to have a catch-up TV service ("Replay TV" in English) which is completely personalized according to the user's tastes, without limitation of access to such or such content. programmed in Replay TV. By the activity of the user on the social networks that shares the content he has accessed and that he likes, by the mere access of the user to a content or by adding a bookmark on a content, the recording programming device has advantageously "learned" the tastes of the moment of the user. Thanks to a regular analysis by this device of the audiovisual content offered in an EPG grid, but also audiovisual content programmed in Replay TV, and if audiovisual content corresponding to the tastes of the user is present in the EPG grid but not accessible thereafter.
