DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the generation of content for data broadcasting, and more particularly to the generation of content having an image including a so-called banner advertisement, wherein the banner advertisement changes for each broadcast time zone.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, digitally compressed images, sounds,
2. Description of the Related Art Digital broadcasting for transmitting data and the like by a transmitting means such as a satellite or a CATV is performed. Also, a viewer of the content, ie, a user of a broadcast receiving apparatus that transmits a content composed of a plurality of image data previously correlated with each other and receives the content and displays an image on a screen (hereinafter, this broadcast receiving apparatus). A so-called data broadcast in which an image desired by the user can be displayed in response to an interactive operation of the user (hereinafter, simply referred to as “user”) is performed. It should be noted that the standardization of data broadcasting technology is based on the Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB: Ass
Occasion of Radio Industry
iss and Businesses).

[0003] Data broadcast content is a set of screens (hereinafter referred to as "page screens") formed based on image data to be displayed on one screen. This content is composed of a group of image data to be displayed on a screen like a Web page in a certain time zone, and the broadcast transmitting apparatus repeatedly transmits the image data group in that time zone. In addition, since the image data group is repeatedly transmitted, the broadcast receiving device that receives the data broadcast can start receiving any time within the time zone.
Necessary image data groups can be received without omission, and images can be displayed on the screen.

A group of image data to be broadcast includes a character string to be displayed on a screen, image data and other data, and text code data described in a certain Markup language. Here, the Markup language refers to a language for specifying a method of displaying data on a screen and the like. Examples of the content include a weather information program that broadcasts information on the weather in various places every day for 24 hours. For example, the page screen displayed first when the broadcast receiving device receives the weather information program includes several buttons, and when the user presses the button, that is, when the user selects the button, another page corresponding to the selection is displayed. The screen is displayed.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a first page screen of a weather information program. The broadcast receiving device receives the broadcasted image data group and displays a page screen shown in FIG. 14 based on the received image data group. The page screen 9100 of FIG. 14 includes a button 9101. The button 9101 is a button for displaying a so-called banner advertisement from a sponsor of a weather information program, and is a button serving as an entrance for transitioning to a page screen of detailed information related to the advertisement. Here, an association that causes a transition of a page screen is expressed as a “link” such that a “link destination” of a button for displaying a banner advertisement is a page screen of detailed information or the like related to the advertisement, and this association The transition of the page screen based on is referred to as “link”. Note that the “link destination” of the button is also expressed as “link destination” from the display content of the button.

In this state, if the user presses button 9101 by, for example, operating a remote controller for controlling the broadcast receiving apparatus, a page screen shown in FIG. 15 is displayed. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a page screen of an advertisement added to the weather information program. The advertisement page screen shown in FIG. 15 includes buttons 9201 and 9202, and when the user presses any one of the buttons, the user is further linked to a page screen showing other information related to the advertisement. become.

[0007] When broadcasting a page screen group having different contents in accordance with the elapse of the broadcast time in one content, it is necessary to change the content of data to be repeatedly transmitted by dividing the broadcast time zone. A data group in a time unit in which data having the same content is repeatedly transmitted is called a data carousel (hereinafter, simply referred to as “carousel”).

[0008] Here, with respect to the procedure from creation and transmission of the content of the above-mentioned weather information program in a broadcast station or the like, a certain authoring apparatus for supporting the creation of the content and the created content are transmitted. The following description focuses on a certain type of broadcast content generation device that is organized as a data format. This type of authoring device and type of broadcast content generation device
This is normally conceivable when implementing the procedure from creation of content to transmission.

[0009] (1) For each carousel that constitutes content, the authoring apparatus uses a device such as text code data described in Markup language of each page screen included in the carousel or image data used as a material to be displayed on the screen. Media data is created as a file, and a configuration information file containing configuration information indicating which file is included in each module is created. Hereinafter, a file of text code data described in Markup language is called a BML document file,
A file of monomedia data is called a material file.

[0010] Here, a module is a group of data that is a logical unit of transmission and reception when transmitted as a data broadcast and received by a broadcast receiving apparatus, and is a constituent element of a carousel. 1
If it is less than MB, the contents of a plurality of files can be included. The structure of one page screen is specified by one BML document file, and a link to another page screen is described using the file name of another BML document file as a link destination address. If the file name serving as the link destination address is the file name of a BML document file included in a module different from the link source, the link destination address is obtained by adding the module identification name, that is, the module name to the file name. Describe.

(2) The broadcast content generation device receives a BML document file, a material file, and a configuration information file, which are output from the authoring device, and specifies a BML document file or a material file as each module according to the configuration information. The multi-part files for the contents of each module are converted. Here, multiparting means B
The contents of the ML document file and the material file are grouped in a module unit, and information such as an address is added so that each content can be accessed in the module.
It means to put it in a file.

(3) By the broadcast content generation device,
For each carousel, the data of each multipart module is passed to a system that sends out data broadcasts.
The system for transmitting the data broadcast encodes the data of each module, that is, converts the data into a transport stream format. Here, the transport stream is an MPEG2 (Moving Picture Exe).
parts stream2) standard. For the transport stream, ISO / IEC standard 13818-1 (MPEG2
System) It is described in detail in the standard.

The transport stream generated for each carousel generated in this manner is transmitted by a broadcast transmitting apparatus in a system for transmitting a data broadcast for each broadcast time zone of each carousel.

[0014]

By the way, for example, FIG.
When it is necessary to create a banner advertisement from the sponsor on the page screen and change the content of the banner advertisement as the broadcast time elapses, such as the page screen of the weather information program shown in 4 Can be considered. This is because, for example, in a weather information program that provides the same weather forecast information for three hours, the sponsor of the program provision changes every few minutes or tens of minutes, and the banner advertisement corresponding to the sponsor is displayed every few minutes or tens of minutes. This is the case where it is necessary to switch to the display.

If the banner advertisement is linked to a different page screen for each sponsor, the broadcast transmitting apparatus needs to switch the carousel to be transmitted according to the time at which the sponsor changes. When such a content is broadcast, when the broadcast receiving apparatus receives the content and displays the page screen, the page screen of the weather information program shown in FIG. 14 is displayed, and only the banner advertisement changes with time. Will be. The page screen displayed when the user presses the button displaying the banner advertisement changes according to the banner advertisement.

In a case where the banner advertisement and a page screen group that can be linked from the banner advertisement change during a time period in which the main content of the content does not change, such as when the sponsor of the program changes frequently in a short time, , Broadcasters, etc., have to transmit different carousels with different modules at different times of the banner advertisement. For this purpose, before transmission, all the image data groups, which are the contents of each carousel, must be appropriately defined by linking and the like, and must be created one by one by an authoring device or the like. For them, the creation process is troublesome.

[0017] The problem is that the banner advertisement included in the first page screen of the weather information program is an advertisement for a product of the company A, which is the program sponsor, in a certain time zone, and another advertiser, B, in the next time zone. An example in which the advertisement is for a product of a company will be described. Since the file name of the BML document file serving as the link destination address of the button for displaying the banner advertisement can be arbitrarily given, the BML document file describing the page screen showing detailed information on the advertisement of the product of the company A is used. BML that describes a page name showing the file name and detailed information about the advertisement of the product of Company B
The file name of the document file may be different. When both files are created and provided by different companies, etc., the file names of both files are usually different from each other, and sometimes the file names are different due to file management reasons. is there. Further, there are various file names of image data files representing the banner advertisement itself, and file names and the number of material files referred to in each BML document.

As described above, the file name of the BML document file defining the page screen to which the link from the banner advertisement is defined and the file name of the image data file representing the banner advertisement itself are various. Changes the contents of the BML document file describing the first page screen of the weather information program for each carousel,
You have to relate each file so that it links properly.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and has a burden of creating content in which a banner advertisement added to a page screen, which is the main content of the content, is switched to another one every time. It is an object of the present invention to provide a data broadcasting content generation system that reduces the amount of data.

[0020]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a data broadcasting content generating system according to the present invention provides a data broadcasting content for generating a data broadcasting content composed of a main page and an attached page. A generation system, which is a set of main body data storage means for storing main body page data for displaying a main body page, display element data for defining a display element, and auxiliary page data for displaying an auxiliary page A component data storage unit for storing a plurality of data; a schedule storage unit for storing broadcast schedule information in which information for specifying one component data is associated with each of a plurality of scheduled broadcast time zones; , For each scheduled broadcast time zone, identify component data corresponding to the scheduled broadcast time zone, The main body page data, the display element data, and the attached data are included such that a display element determined by display element data of the component data is included as display content of the main body page, and a link destination of the display element is an attached page. And synthesizing means for associating the data with the page data and organizing the associated data as the contents of a carousel to be transmitted in the scheduled broadcast time slot.

With the above arrangement, a display element such as a banner advertisement to be added to a main body page which is a main body page screen of the content such as the above-described weather information program page screen and a link destination page are provided. It is possible to easily create a content in which an attached page, which is a screen, changes for each broadcast time zone. That is, the main body page data for displaying the main body page for each broadcast time zone, the display element data for displaying the banner advertisement, etc., and the auxiliary page data for displaying the auxiliary page related to the advertisement etc. are automatically associated with each other. In addition, the content creator creates part data relating to a plurality of advertisements separately from the data of the main page screen, and can create the content only by specifying the schedule information. As a result, reuse of component data related to advertisements and the like becomes easy.

After copying and changing the file name of the material file corresponding to the display content of the banner advertisement, the control unit 12
30 issues an instruction to the file name changing unit 1250 to copy the file having the file name including the component identification name and the extension “bml” and change the file name to “CM1.bml” (step S104). Thereby, “A.b
The file that is a copy of the BML document file for the first page screen in the component data “ml”, that is, the page screen that is the link destination from the banner advertisement is “CM”.
1. bml "is stored in the storage unit 1150.

After the BML document file of the first page screen in the component data is copied and the file name is changed by the file name changing unit 1250, the control unit 1230
Causes the configuration information access unit 1220 to read the configuration information from the configuration information file of the component data, which is a file name combining the component identification name and the extension “acm”, into the work memory area, and Then, the file name of the BML document file for the first page screen of the component data is changed so as to correspond to the file name change in step S104, and written in the configuration information file (step S105). That is, the file name represented by the component identification name and the extension “bml” in the configuration information file is referred to as “C
M1. bml ". As a result, "A. acm"
"A.bm" described in the configuration information file
l is changed to “CM1.bml”.

After updating the component data configuration information file, the control unit 1230 causes the configuration information access unit 1220 to transfer the configuration information from the configuration information file included in the main body data and the component data configuration information file to the working memory area. To read out the two modules and integrate the two pieces of configuration information.
D is uniquely determined. That is, a module ID is assigned to each module. After determining the module ID, the control unit 1230 sends the data file access unit 12
10 causes the BML document file included in each module to be accessed to change the module name in the designation of the link in each BML document file to the determined, ie, assigned module ID (step S106). The module having the module name “CM1” is the same as the module having the module name as the component identification name, and the module name is changed to the module ID in the specification of the link in the BML document file.

Here, the module names shown in FIGS. 5 and 7 are "STARTUP", "KANTO", "CHU".
"BU", "KINKI", "CHUGOKU", "A"
, "0", "1", "2",
It is assumed that module IDs “3”, “4”, and “5” are assigned. Corresponding to this, for example, B of the file name “STARTUP.bml” shown in FIG.
"KANTO / KANTO.bm" in the ML document file
l ”is“ 1 / KANTO. bml ”and“
CM1 / CM1. bml ”is“ 5 / CM1. bml "
Is replaced by

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of step S shown in FIG.
FIG. 4 is a diagram visually illustrating processing contents from 102 to step S106. The file group in which the result of the processing up to step S106 is reflected becomes the material for multipart formation in the next step S107. After the determination of the module ID and the update of the designation of the link destination of the BML document file, the control unit 1230 is included for each module by controlling the data file access unit 1210 according to the configuration information of both the body data and the component data. The file is acquired from the storage unit 1150, and the contents of the acquired file are multipart-converted into one file by the module data generation unit 1260 and stored in the working memory (step S107). Note that the module ID is used as the file name of the file after the multi-part conversion. For example,
A multi-part file with a file name of “0” includes a file with a file name of “STARTUP.bml”, a file with a file name of “MAP.jpg”, and a file with a file name of “CM1.jpg”. Will be included.

After the multipart file corresponding to each module is generated in this way, the control unit 1230
Causes the module data generation unit 1260 to pass each of the multipart files together with the information indicating the broadcast time zone to the data broadcast transmission system 1300 (step S1).
08). As a result, the data serving as the contents of each module constituting the carousel to be transmitted as a data broadcast from 9:00 to 9:10 is transmitted to the data broadcast transmission system 130.
0 will be passed.

The data of the modules constituting the carousel in one broadcast time zone is transmitted to the data broadcast transmission system 1
After being passed to 300, the control unit 1230 causes the schedule information acquisition unit 1240 to determine whether there is a next broadcast time zone by referring to the schedule information (step S109). If there is no next broadcast time zone, the operation ends. If there is, the schedule information acquisition unit 1 sets the component identifier for the next broadcast time zone.
240 (step S110) and step S10
Step 3 is performed.

That is, according to the schedule information 5100, next, processing is performed on the modules constituting the carousel to be broadcast from 9:10 to 9:30 (see FIG. 9). Therefore, the control unit 1230
A component identifier "B" is obtained, and processing is performed on a module containing the main body data and the component data related to the advertisement of the company B (steps S103 to S103).
108).

The component data related to the advertisement of company A is a file group that defines the display contents of the button 9101 in FIG. 14, the page screen of the link destination, the page screen under the button, and the contents of the monomedia data. , Since the component data related to the advertisement of the company B is also a file group that is replaced with the component data of the company A,
Modules related to the main data among the modules constituting the carousel up to 0 minutes, that is, the modules with module IDs “1” to “4” can be reused from 9:10 to 9:30. Therefore, for these modules, the multi-part processing in step S107 may be omitted, and the processing in step S108 may be performed using the file of each module that has already been generated.

The data broadcast transmission system 1300
Receives the information indicating the broadcast time zone from the broadcast content generation apparatus 1200 and the multipart files corresponding to each of the plurality of modules constituting the carousel to be transmitted in the time zone (step S).
In order to repeatedly transmit the file contents of each module, the file contents are encoded to generate a transport stream, and the transport stream is multiplexed, modulated, and broadcast during the time zone.

As a result, the data broadcast transmission system 130
The data broadcast by 0 is as shown in FIG. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an image of each module constituting a carousel broadcasted for each broadcast time zone. In FIG. 12, the module is represented by an ellipse, the original file which is the contents of the module is represented by the file name within the ellipse, and the module ID and module version are displayed as “ID” and “VER” outside the ellipse. ing. Also, CM1. jpg and CM1. For bml, the file name of the file that is the copy source is added outside the ellipse.

Here, the module version means that when a module in a certain carousel has the same module ID as a module in a preceding carousel but has different contents, the broadcast content generation device 1200 or the data Broadcast transmission system 13
00. Modules with module IDs 1 to 4 are carousel 1 and carousel 2
Are the same.

On the other hand, in the carousel 1, the module whose module ID is 0 is the material file A.1 corresponding to the display content of the banner advertisement of Company A. CM1. jpg, and the module version is set to 0. In the carousel 2, a material file B.B. CM1. The module version is set to 1 in order to indicate that the content has changed since the module includes jpg.

The module having the module ID of 5 is a module including the component data of the company A in the carousel 1 and has a module version of 0, but the module including the component data of the company B in the carousel 2 The module version is set to 1 to indicate that the content has changed. Each module is identified by a module ID and a module version in the broadcast receiving device, and an arbitrary module is extracted and used.

The broadcast receiving apparatus receives a broadcast, separates and extracts the contents of each module, accumulates them in a storage device such as a memory, and displays an arbitrary page screen according to a user operation. The broadcast receiving apparatus stores each module sent as the carousel 1 between 9:00 and 9:10, for example, in a memory or the like.
The page screen including the banner advertisement of the company can be displayed, and each page screen to be a link destination from the page screen can be displayed according to the operation of the user, and thereafter, between 9:10 and 9:30 By replacing the module transmitted as the carousel 2 whose module version has changed compared to the module already stored in the memory or the like with the module already stored in the memory or the like, first, the banner advertisement of Company B shown in FIG. Can be displayed, and each page screen that is a link destination from the page screen can be displayed according to the operation of the user.

FIG. 13 shows that the banner advertisement on the first page screen of the weather information program is changed from the company A shown in FIG.
It is a figure showing a page screen after changing to a company thing. <Supplement> The data broadcast content generation system according to the present invention has been described based on the embodiment.
The present invention is, of course, not limited to this embodiment. That is, (1) In the present embodiment, the BML document file, the material file, and the configuration information file recorded in the storage unit 1150 are generated by the content creator using the authoring device 1100 to create the body data and the component data. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the main body data and the plurality of component data may be generated by separate authoring devices, respectively. It is sufficient that the BML document file, the material file, and the configuration information file that define the contents are stored in a storage device that can be accessed from the broadcast content generation device 1200. (2) In the present embodiment, the file having the contents to be associated with the main body data is specified by the component identifier by including the component identifier in the schedule information. However, the present invention is not limited to this component identifier. Instead, any information may be used as long as it can specify a file having contents to be associated with the main body data. That is, in the present embodiment, a BM that describes a material file as a display content of a banner advertisement and a first page screen of the advertisement using a component identifier and a specific extension.
An L-document file, a first page screen of an advertisement, which is a file serving as a configuration content of a module including component data, a page screen that can transition from the page screen, a BML document file corresponding to the display content of these page screens, Although an example in which the configuration information file that specifies the material file is specified has been described, it is sufficient to be able to specify each of these files. The file name of the material file, the file name of the BML document file that describes the first page screen of the advertisement, and the file name of the configuration information file for the component data are included to identify each file. Is also good. (3) In the present embodiment, in a part of the procedure shown in FIG. 10, multi-part conversion of a module including component data is performed according to the configuration information of the component data (step S107). Before the execution of the procedure shown in FIG. 10 or copying of a file, that is, immediately after the authoring apparatus 1100 stores the file in the storage unit 1150, for example, the configuration information, which is the content of the configuration information file “A.acm” described above. According to the configuration information of the component data, the module including the component data is to be multi-parted. At this time, for example, B of the first page screen of the component such as “A.bml” is displayed.
The file name of the ML document file may be changed to “CM1.bml” to perform multiparting, and the resulting file may be given an arbitrary file name such as “A.mlt”. According to this method, “A.mlt” and “B.ml” are used for each of a plurality of component data such as component data of Company A and component data of Company B.
A multipart-completed file such as “t” can be generated in advance and stored in the storage unit 1150.

Multi-part conversion of the component data is performed by broadcast content generation apparatus 1200 in FIG.
In this case, the part data to be combined with the main body data is multi-parted with the material file for the banner advertisement, such as "A.jpg" and "A.mlt". Since there are only two files having the module contents, schedule information including information for specifying these two files for each broadcast time zone such as a part identifier is stored in the storage unit 1150. Then, the broadcast content generation device 1200 may perform the operation shown in FIG. However, in this case, the processing of steps S104 and S105 is unnecessary, and in steps S106 and S107, only the configuration information of the body data is referred to without referring to the configuration information of the component data, and the processing is equivalent to the body data. It is necessary to assign the number next to the module ID number given to the module group to be executed as the module ID for the module of the component data. Alternatively, in the configuration information of the main body data, a multipart file of component data with an extension of “.mlt” may be described in advance so as to be associated with a module to be included. . (4) In the present embodiment, the case where one banner advertisement is attached to the content body has been described as an example, but two or more banner advertisements may be attached. In this case, In the schedule information, it is necessary to include, for each broadcast time zone, information for specifying a part identifier or a necessary file in place of the part identifier by the number of banner advertisements. According to the schedule information, the broadcast content generation apparatus 1200 performs steps S103 to S105 for each piece of component data corresponding to each banner advertisement, and in step S106, applies to the configuration information of the body data and the banner advertisement attached to the body data. The module ID of each module is uniquely determined by integrating the configuration information of all corresponding component data with one another.
In step S107, a file included for each module may be acquired in accordance with the configuration information of the main body data and the configuration information of all the component data corresponding to the banner advertisement, and the process of multiparting may be performed. When three banner advertisements are attached, for example, in the BML document data of the content body, the file name of the material file for the banner advertisement is set to “CM1.jpg”, “C
M2. jpg ”,“ CM3. jpg ”,
"CM1 / CM1.bml" and "CM2" as link destinations
/ CM2. bml "," CM3 / CM3. bml ". In this case, the broadcast content generation apparatus 1200 needs to apply“ CM2 ”or“ CM3 ”by replacing“ CM1 ”in the procedure shown in FIG. 10 for each component data. (5) In the present embodiment, the content creator sets the display content of the banner advertisement to “CM
1. jpg ”, and the page screen of the link destination from the banner advertisement is identified by the name“ CM1.bml ”whose contents are included in the module identified by the fixed module name“ CM1 ”. A BML document file that defines a page screen including a banner advertisement is created on the premise that the BML document file is defined in the BML document file to be created. However, some banner advertisement is attached to the page screen by the content creator. When the instruction is received, the authoring apparatus automatically adds <A HREF=“CM1/CM1.bml”><I shown in FIG. 4 to the contents of the BML document file for the page screen.
The sentence MG SRC = “CM1.jpg”><//A> may be inserted.

When the content creator instructs the creation of the component data, the authoring apparatus receives the input of the component identifier from the content creator and, based on the input, receives the first page in the configuration information file or the component data. The file name of the BML document file defining the screen may be automatically given. (6) In the present embodiment, the data serving as the display content of the banner advertisement is JPEG image data. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and data in other formats may be used. Further, the data described as mono-media data in the present embodiment may be not only a single type of data but also a plurality of types of data such as a set of still image data and audio data.

In addition, whatever character string or the like of the extension of each file shown in this embodiment may be a predetermined one. However, corresponding to the predetermined extension, a material file that is a display content of the banner advertisement from the component identification name, a BML document file that describes the first page screen of the advertisement, and a configuration content of the module including the component data. The broadcast content generation apparatus 1200 needs to be configured so as to be able to identify the file. (7) In the present embodiment, the case where the banner advertisement is added to the page screen of the content body has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the banner advertisement, and is a display element on the screen and the user can display the screen. If an element is selected and a link is made to another page screen, and the link destination and the content of the display element change for each broadcast time zone, the present invention is applied as if it were the same as a banner advertisement can do. (8) In the present embodiment, the broadcast content generation device 1
In step 200, the procedure shown in FIG. 10 is executed after the file is copied by the copy unit 1205. However, the file need not be copied. However, when copying is performed, the original component data can be retained as it is, which is effective when the same component data needs to be used a plurality of times in different broadcasting time zones. (9) In the present embodiment, the content creator determines the display contents of the banner advertisement in the module including “STARTUP.bml” at the stage of creating the main body data.
1. Although the source file identified by the fixed name “jpg” is included, the source file does not necessarily have to be included in the same module as the module including “STARTUP.bml”. However, including them in the same module is effective in that the page screen of the content body including the banner advertisement can be quickly displayed. (10) A computer program for causing a general-purpose computer or a device having a program execution function to execute an operation procedure (such as the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. 10) of the broadcast content generation device 1200 described in the present embodiment. Alternatively, the program may be recorded on a recording medium or distributed and distributed via various communication paths.

Such recording media include an IC card, an optical disk, a flexible disk, and a ROM. Distribution,
The distributed computer program is provided for use by being installed in a device having a program execution function, a personal computer, or the like, and the device, the personal computer, or the like executes the computer program and executes the computer program described in the present embodiment. Such a function as a broadcast content generation device is realized.

As described above, the data broadcast content generation system according to the present invention is a data broadcast content generation system for generating data broadcast content composed of a main page and an attached page, A plurality of parts data, which is a set of main body data storage means for storing main body page data for displaying main body pages, display element data for defining display elements, and auxiliary page data for displaying auxiliary pages, is stored. Component data storage means; schedule storage means for storing broadcast schedule information in which information for specifying one piece of component data is associated with each of a plurality of scheduled broadcast time zones; Then, the part data corresponding to the scheduled broadcast time zone is specified, and the A display element determined by display element data is included as display content of the main body page, and the main body page data, the display element data, and the auxiliary page data are associated with each other so that a link destination of the display element is an auxiliary page. And synthesizing means for organizing the associated data as the configuration contents of a carousel to be transmitted during the scheduled broadcast time zone.

As a result, a display element such as a banner advertisement to be added and a page screen as a link destination are added to the main body page which is a main body page screen of the content such as the above-described weather information program page screen. It is possible to easily create a content in which the attached page changes in each broadcast time zone. That is, the main body page data for displaying the main body page for each broadcast time zone, the display element data for displaying the banner advertisement, etc., and the auxiliary page data for displaying the auxiliary page related to the advertisement etc. are automatically associated with each other. In addition, the content creator creates part data relating to a plurality of advertisements separately from the data of the main page screen, and can create the content only by specifying the schedule information. As a result, reuse of component data related to advertisements and the like becomes easy.

Further, the attached page data is Marku
a part document file containing component document data described in p-language and defining an attached page, the component document file having the content of the component document data being stored in the component data storage means together with the display element file having the display element data as a content; The main body page data includes main body document data described in Markup language and defining the main body page, and the main body document data specifies a file that is displayed on the main body page and defines a display element whose link destination is an attached page. A first file name described as a file name for performing the linking operation and a second file name described as a file name for specifying a part document file defining the attached page of the link destination
And a file name of a display element file and a component document file that define component data corresponding to the scheduled broadcast time zone for each scheduled broadcast time zone. The association may be performed by changing the name to a name.

Accordingly, even if data relating to an advertisement or the like, that is, a file that determines the display content of a banner advertisement or a file name of a BML document file that defines a page screen to which a link from the banner advertisement is attached, can be arbitrarily added. The file name is changed by the data broadcasting content generation system to make the link relationship etc. appropriate, so it is easy to identify those files when preparing multiple types of data such as advertisements for switching by broadcast time zone In this way, file names can be assigned, and each file can be easily managed.

The carousel components to be transmitted for each scheduled broadcast time zone are a plurality of modules to be generated so as to include the content of one or a plurality of files.
The main body document data defining the main body page includes a file name for specifying a file defining an attached page of a link destination, module identification information for specifying a module that is expected to include the contents of the file, and Wherein the link relationship is described by the following. The data broadcast content generation system is configured to specify, for each of the plurality of modules, one or a plurality of files whose contents are to be included in the module. A configuration information storage unit for storing information, wherein the synthesizing unit determines a file to be included in each module according to the configuration information, from among a group of files having the associated data as contents, and A unique module identifier is attached, and the The contents of the module identification information may be changed to a module identifier assigned to a module that is to contain the contents of the part document file that defines the supplied page of the link destination.

Thus, when an identifier for specifying a module, which is a logical unit of data broadcast transmission / reception, is used as a link destination address in a link to a page screen, an appropriate link relationship to data related to an advertisement or the like is established. Will be able to This is suitable when data related to advertisements and the like is stored in a module different from the data of the main page screen of the content. Can be upgraded, and the broadcast receiving apparatus need only newly receive a module that has been upgraded for each broadcast time zone, so that the processing speed can be improved overall.

The data broadcasting content is composed of a plurality of main pages having a link relationship with each other and a plurality of attached pages having a link relationship with each other. The display element determined by the display element data of the component data corresponding to the scheduled broadcast time zone is included as the display content of one main body page, and the link destination of the display element is set to one attached page. The association may be performed.

As a result, the main content of the content is composed of a plurality of page screens having a link relationship with each other, and has a mutual link relationship with respect to an advertisement or the like through a banner advertisement or the like added to any one of the page screens. It has a page screen configuration that can transition to a plurality of page screens, making it easy to create content in which parts other than the main content of the content are switched for each time period.

Further, the schedule information includes
The information for specifying the component data is a component identification name made up of a character string, and each component data included in the component data storage means has a file name of one display element file that defines the component data. A first predetermined character string added to a component identifier of the data, and a file name of one component document file that defines the component data is a file obtained by adding a second predetermined character string to the component identifier; The synthesizing means, for each scheduled broadcast time zone, assigns a file name of a file specified by a file name determined by adding a first predetermined character string to a component identifier corresponding to the scheduled broadcast time zone to a first file name And the file name of the file specified by the file name determined by adding a second predetermined character string to the part identification name is changed to the second file name. Further it is also possible to be.

Thus, the component information is included in the schedule information for each broadcast time zone, and the file name of the file that determines the display contents of the banner advertisement is set to the component identifier and a specific character string, for example, “.jpg”. Also, by simply setting the file name of the BML document file defining the page screen to be linked from the banner advertisement to the component identification name and another specific character string, for example, “.bml”, the main body page is set for each broadcast time zone. Content that can be used to switch between the banner ad displayed on the web page and the page screen of the link destination.

Further, the attached page data is Mark
part document data described in an up language and defining an attached page, wherein the part data storage means is a group of files having the attached page data as the contents, the part document having the part document data defining the attached page as the contents. A file obtained as a result of multiparting a file group including files is stored for each component data together with a display element file having the display element data as the content, and the main body page data is stored in Markup language. The body document data includes a body document data described and defining a body page, and the body document data is described as a file name for specifying a file defining a display element which is displayed on the body page and whose link destination is an attached page. To specify the file name and the part document file that defines the attached page of the link destination A description of a file name, wherein for each scheduled broadcast time zone, the synthesizing unit changes the file name of the display element file that defines the component data corresponding to the scheduled broadcast time zone to a first file name, The association may be performed.

Thus, all the Bs necessary to display a portion other than the main content of the content, that is, for example, a page screen related to an advertisement or the like which is switched for each time zone are displayed.
The ML document file, the material file, and the like can be multi-parted into one file, and the management of the part switched for each broadcast time zone is facilitated. Further, the data broadcast content generation system further includes data generation means for generating main body page data and attached page data, and the main body data storage means stores main body page data generated by the data generation means, The component data storage unit may store the attached page data generated by the data generation unit.

Thus, the content creator or the like uses this data broadcasting content generation system to generate main body page data for displaying the main body page and attached page data for displaying the attached page, thereby creating the content. It can be performed. Also, the display element is a banner, the main body page data includes main body document data described in Markup language and defining the main body page, and the attached page data is described in Markup language and component document data defining the attached page. And a component document file having the content of the component document data is stored in the component data storage means together with a display element file having the content of the display element data. When an instruction to add a banner is received, the body document data that defines the body page is a description that specifies that the banner is displayed on the body page, and specifies a display element file that defines the banner. Include the first file name as the file name and specify the attached page linked to the banner A description including a second file name as a file name for specifying a component document file to be added, and the synthesizing unit includes, for each scheduled broadcast time zone, a display element file for defining component data corresponding to the scheduled broadcast time zone. The association may be performed by changing the file names of the component document files to the first file name and the second file name, respectively.

Thus, when a content creator receives an instruction to attach a banner advertisement to a page screen, for example, <A HREF=“CM1/CM1.bml”><
A description such as a sentence of IMG SRC = “CM1.jpg”><//A> is added, and the content creator can easily include the banner advertisement in the main body page.
