Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method in which viewing main information transmitted (transmitted) by a broadcasting system / internet communication system is supplemented or superimposed with viewing sub-information, and stored in a dedicated memory which is a function of a television personal computer system. Record, display of information sign on the display monitor to make the information identifiable by the viewer,
The contents of broadcast programs and commercial information with time restrictions are provided by a series of viewing sub-information providing systems consisting of a transmission unit that provides viewing sub-information by wireless transmission or wired transmission, and an information communication (terminal) device that acquires viewing sub-information. This is a method for a series of viewing sub-information providing systems that greatly change the information content and the amount of information by providing viewing sub-information that can be obtained instantaneously and accurately by an information communication (terminal) device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When viewed as sub-information in a television system of a broadcasting system, the purpose is to improve the efficiency of processing such as the transmission method and format of audiovisual information and decoding / display on the receiving side as part of information processing technology relating to the system. It has been devised.

In an Internet communication system,
Similarly, when viewed as sub-information, as a part of the information processing technology relating to the system, it has been devised for the purpose of improving the efficiency of processing such as the transmission method and format of audiovisual information and decoding / display on the receiving side.

[0004] In terms of information provision, a series of methods have been devised for a television shopping commercial transaction system, in which supplementary information for making an application is transmitted together with television shopping product information, and a communication system is used. (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-91350)

[0005] Further, there has been proposed a method in which information for business transactions is superimposed on audiovisual information by indistinguishable data of an optical / audio processing signal and received, and an application for purchase of a product using a keypad is made. (JP-A-8-289042)

[0006] Furthermore, a device has been devised in which a charging system for pay television is attached separately from the received audiovisual information, and the usage status is grasped using a communication line.
(JP-A-6-38208)

[0007] The conventional method to be solved by the present invention is a method of recording transmitted viewing information by means of a handwriting process for an information viewer and a voice guide from a display monitor. Audiovisual information has been recorded by means such as means, video recording or recording on an audio tape, or means of writing processing via a tape, and output means of a screen printer.

[0008]

Audiovisual information transmitted by a broadcasting system / internet communication system is provided as an image by a display monitor. The information that prompts the viewer to record may be text display telops or board images,
In the case where the display time is short or the viewer is slow in recording, the result of not being able to record all is solved.

[0009] The present invention solves the problem of a broadcasting system /
In the main viewing information transmitted by the Internet communication system, the information to be recorded is to be able to be obtained and recorded instantaneously, to be accurate, to be able to be stored and stored, to be able to see at any time, and to be available for communication. An object of the present invention is to provide a high quality information to an audience and a viewer, to improve an accurate information transmission rate, and to create an information acquisition opportunity for promoting advanced use of information on a daily basis.

The present invention relates to viewing sub-information as a new information providing form edited and processed so that a viewer can easily obtain information from a broadcasting system / internet communication system. The information communication (terminal) device can acquire the information instantly from the system. As a result, the information transmission side improves the transmission rate and transmission accuracy, and obtains information such as an increase in the circulation rate on the information communication (terminal) device display display and diffusion transmission of viewing sub-information by mail transfer. It can be expected to be widely used, such as secondary communication in everyday life.

[0011]

Means for Solving the Problems The main viewing information and the sub-viewing information are linked by utilizing a blanking period of a blanking line of a main viewing information (video) signal transmitted / transmitted by a broadcasting system / internet communication system. This is a viewing sub-information providing method for acquiring viewing sub-information from a television / personal computer system by an information communication (terminal) device.

Various control signals for processing in the relay section are encoded in the viewing sub-information transmitted from the information source. Tag for recognition of viewing sub-information created in BML, CHTML, MML, XML description language, tag for linking viewing main information and viewing sub-information, tag for displaying and hiding information sign on display monitor, dedicated memory Tag for recording and erasing to O, O of transmission section
It is composed of tags for N and OFF.

[0013] The viewing sub information is multimedia information. The provided information that is considered to be the most used is part of the main viewing information, textual information as related information,
Still image information and audio information, including moving images (movies). Characters and still images of the viewing sub-information can be recorded in a dedicated memory in a short time by performing compression transmission. By displaying the information sign on the display monitor, the viewing sub-information can be perceived and identified, and the viewer can be given an information recognition opportunity and an information acquisition opportunity accurately. The display of the information sign can be performed by the technique and method of the conventional television system.

To obtain the viewing sub-information, the information sign displayed on the relay unit display monitor is confirmed by the viewer, and the transmitting unit of the television personal computer system responds by accessing from the information communication (terminal) device. And received and acquired by the information communication (terminal) device via wireless transmission or wired transmission.

[0015]

According to the present invention, the provision of the viewing main information by the broadcasting system / internet communication system has been terminated by providing the video information on the display monitor. By transmitting the sub information in a manner superimposed and superimposed, it is possible to provide a new service that can be obtained by the information communication (terminal) device. The viewer can store and save the viewing sub-information in the information communication (terminal) device, and can always possess the viewing sub-information. Therefore, the convenience in terms of information utilization can be improved and the information utilization in a wide range can be expected. The viewing sub-information providing system allows viewers to view richer and more accurate information from television and personal computer systems in a way that can be obtained instantly by information communication (terminal) equipment without the need for writing or indirect recording means. Enable to provide sub-information.

A viewing sub-information providing system which incorporates related main information, peripheral information, supplementary information, as well as partial main information of viewing main information, which is viewing sub-information, telop information, board information, and box information, It can provide audiovisual information such as outdoor televisions, personal computers, movies, videos, CDs, DVDs, MOs, digital games, etc. as well as household televisions for transmission / transmission.
