Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, and more particularly to an information processing apparatus that is used in digital broadcasting services such as broadcasting using satellites and broadcasting distributed over the Internet, CATV, and the like and that does not output accumulated data as desired. Is.

  In general, a television broadcast with no receiving fee employs a broadcast form in which an advertisement, that is, a commercial is broadcast during the first or last few minutes of broadcast time or during the broadcast time of a predetermined program. Thus, by broadcasting a commercial together with a broadcast of a program, a broadcaster who broadcasts the program can obtain an advertising fee from an advertiser, that is, a sponsor.

  Broadcasters will use this advertising fee as production funds to create better programs, increase the audience rating of programs broadcast by broadcasters, and collect more advertising fees to expand profits It aims to plan.

  Unlike the broadcaster's speculation, broadcast viewers may not be welcome to watch commercials in the middle of a program. That is, with the above configuration, for example, in a movie or a drama, a commercial may be inserted during viewing. In such a case, since the program is divided by the commercial, the entertainment is killed. In other words, commercials are sometimes unnecessary for viewers. For this reason, for example, when playing a program such as a movie or drama that has been accumulated, the commercial part should be fast-forwarded, and the original program part such as a movie or drama should be played normally. There is.

  Thus, when the commercial part is fast-forwarded and reproduced, the effect expected by the commercial is not exhibited. In other words, the advertiser's intent was not communicated to the user, and the advertiser was unable to achieve the results of providing funds.

  In view of the above problems, the present invention takes into consideration the circumstances of viewers, broadcasters, and advertisers and plays back stored programs without watching commercials, for example. By doing so, the request of the viewer is satisfied, and when such reproduction is performed, the request of the broadcaster and the advertiser is satisfied by charging.

  That is, the information processing apparatus of the present invention corresponds to the data stored in the first output identifier storage unit, the first output identifier for identifying whether or not the information processing apparatus outputs data, and the data When the content having the specific source identifier for identifying the specific source to be output is output, the second output identifier stored in the second output identifier storage unit for identifying whether to output data and the device itself are identified. When the determination unit determines whether or not to output the data based on the first output identifier and the second output identifier among the information processing device identifiers and determines that the determination unit prohibits the data output Is a feature corresponding to data that is controlled so that data is not output and the control unit outputs the content stored in the first output identifier storage unit and the control unit does not output the content. And source identifier, status information recording unit status information including the information processing device identifier is configured to record.

  The contents in the present invention are a program transmitted in a digital broadcast such as a BS / CS broadcast using a broadcast satellite or a communication satellite, a broadcast using a terrestrial wave, a CATV broadcast using an optical cable, and the like, and transmitted together with the program. And the above-described identifier. The program means an essential content portion excluding data among information received through a network such as broadcasting, the Internet, and CATV, or information read from a storage medium.

  The data may be independent of the program, including advertisements for sponsor products that provided funds to create the program, announcements for concerts, announcements for sale, etc. Good.

  With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the data included in the content from being arbitrarily output. Therefore, for example, when content is viewed on the television receiver TV, the content can be viewed except for data included in the content.

  In addition, by generating the situation information, it is possible to calculate and charge for the compensation when data output is prohibited based on the situation information. Charging may be determined externally based on the status information by outputting status information from the status information output unit, or the charging amount determination unit is determined internally based on the identification source identifier, The billing amount information may be output by outputting the billing amount information together with the information processing apparatus identifier from the billing amount information output unit.

  The situation information is set by appropriately combining a specific source identifier, an information processing device identifier, size information that is data size information, and reproduction time information related to reproduction time when data is reproduced.

  Furthermore, by having a structure including a first output identifier receiving unit that receives the content and a first output identifier recording unit that records the received content, for example, the desired output sent by BS / CS broadcast or CATV It becomes possible to record the content and output the content without outputting the data included in the content.

  In addition, a structure including a second output identifier receiving unit that receives the second output identifier and a second output identifier recording unit that records the second output identifier is included in the content when the user desires. It is possible to output content excluding data without outputting data. In this case, the information processing apparatus identifier may be received at the same time.

  In order to collect the charge according to the charge amount by determining the charge amount from the status information outside the information processing apparatus, a charge collection center capable of bidirectional communication with the information processing apparatus can be cited. The fee collection center includes a status information receiving unit that receives status information output from the status information output unit of the information processing apparatus, and a billing amount determination unit that determines a billing amount based on the received status information. Yes, it is possible to centrally manage the billing amount for each user of the information processing apparatus based on the situation information.

  In the information processing device that outputs billing amount information, the fee collection center receives the billing amount information and the information processing device identifier output from the billing amount information output unit of the information processing device. What is necessary is just to set it as the structure which comprises an information receiving part and the bill issuing part which issues a bill for every information processing apparatus based on an information processing apparatus identifier.

  The information processing method of the present invention stores a first output identifier for storing content having data and a first output identifier for identifying whether to output the data and a specific source identifier for identifying a specific source corresponding to the data. A second output identifier for identifying whether or not to output data; an information processing device identifier for identifying an information processing device for storing the content; and a step for storing the first output identifier. Determining whether to output the data based on the first output identifier stored in the step and the second output identifier stored in the second output identifier storing step; and outputting the data in the determining step If it is determined that the content is prohibited, the content stored under control is controlled not to output the data. Steps and is intended to and a status information recording step of recording the status information including the information processing apparatus identifier and the specific source identifier corresponding to the control data so as not to output at said control step.

  Further, in the above configuration, a content output instruction input receiving step for receiving an input of output instruction information which is information of the content output instruction is added, and in the control step, the content output instruction information is received in the content output instruction input receiving step. If it is determined that the input is accepted and the output of data is prohibited in the determination step, the content stored in the first output storage step may be output by controlling not to output the data.

  As described in detail above, the present invention can output content without outputting data such as advertisement information included in the content as desired, so that the user can select only necessary information.

  In addition, when content is output without outputting data, the charge amount is determined according to the situation at that time, so that the sponsor which is the source of the data is prevented from suffering the disadvantage of not outputting data. Can do.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As an information processing apparatus in this embodiment, a dedicated digital broadcast receiver 100 that receives digital broadcasts such as terrestrial digital broadcasts and BS / CS digital broadcasts will be described. This digital broadcast receiver 100 shown in FIG. 1 is connected to, for example, an existing television receiver TV having a video and audio input unit, for example. The digital broadcast receiver 100 can perform two-way communication with the charge collection center 200 via the Internet via a telephone line constituting a communication line network, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the digital broadcast receiver 100 includes a tuner 1 that receives content, a hard disk drive (hereinafter referred to as HDD) 2 that stores various types of information including content, and input / output of information to and from the HDD 2. Furthermore, a control unit 3 for controlling storage and output of contents, a communication unit 4 including a modem for IP connection, and the like are provided. The control unit 3 includes a CPU 3a, a memory 3b, an external input interface 3c, a video / audio output interface 3d, and a demodulation circuit unit 3e. In addition, the digital broadcast receiver 100 is combined with a remote controller (hereinafter referred to as a remote controller) 5 that outputs signals such as various settings and channel switching. As a result, it is possible to receive various services including reception of programs by digital broadcasting and distribution of Web contents posted on various websites via the Internet. These elements cooperate to provide a first output identifier storage unit 101, a second output identifier storage unit 102, a determination unit 103, a control unit 104, a situation information recording unit 105, a content output instruction input reception unit 106, It plays a role as the status information output unit 107, the first output identifier reception unit 108, and the second output identifier reception unit 109.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3, the operation of each unit described above will be described.

  A first output identifier storage unit (not shown) includes a first output identifier storage unit 101 and a first output identifier reception unit 108.

  The first output identifier storage unit 101 stores the content received by the first output identifier reception unit 108. In the state where the received content is stored, the content is stored in the first output identifier storage unit 101. As shown in FIG. 4, the content is composed of a stream S including a plurality of substreams Ssub that can be accessed only sequentially. The stream S is mainly composed of program information S1 which is a substream Ssub, and advertisement information S2 which is a substream Ssub is incorporated so as to divide the program information S1. Then, a program identifier IDp for identifying the program is written in the header of the program information S1, and a first output identifier ID1 and a sponsor for identifying whether or not to output the respective advertisement information 2 in the header of the advertisement information S2 are displayed. A specific source identifier IDs for identification is written. The first output identifier ID1 is used to identify advertisement information S2 that cannot be omitted in other words, that is, forcibly output advertisement information S2, and advertisement information S2 that can be omitted.

  For content distributed by digital broadcasting, advertisement information S2 including an advertisement that is data provided by a sponsor as a specific source, a first output identifier ID1 for identifying whether or not to output advertisement information S2, and advertisement information S2 Specific source identifier IDs for identifying sponsors providing information, size information Ss indicating the data size of the advertisement information S2, and program information S1 such as a movie or a drama.

  A second output identifier storage unit (not shown) includes a second output identifier storage unit 109 and a second output identifier reception unit 102.

  The second output identifier storage unit 102 stores the second output identifier ID2 input to the second output identifier reception unit 102 by the remote controller 5 and also stores the information processing device identifier (hereinafter referred to as device identifier) IDd. Yes. The second output identifier ID2 can be rewritten each time as desired by the user, and indicates that the advertisement information S2 is not output, and vice versa. On the other hand, the device identifier IDd is unique to the digital broadcast receiver 100 and cannot be rewritten.

  The determination unit 103 outputs the advertisement information S2 identified by the first output identifier ID1 based on the first output identifier ID1, the second output identifier ID2, and the output instruction information output from the content output instruction input receiving unit 106. Judge whether to do or not. When the first output identifier ID1 indicates that the output of the advertisement information S2 cannot be prohibited or omitted, and the second output identifier ID2 indicates that the advertisement information S2 is not output, the determination unit 103 determines that the advertisement information It is determined that S2 is output. On the other hand, when the first output identifier ID1 indicates that the output of the advertisement information S2 can be omitted and the second output identifier ID2 indicates that the advertisement information S2 is not output, the determination unit 103 determines that the advertisement information S2 is not output. It is determined not to output S2. If the first output identifier ID1 indicates that the output of the advertisement information S2 can be omitted and the second output identifier ID2 indicates that the advertisement information S2 is output, the determination unit 103 determines that the advertisement information It is determined that S2 is output. Then, the determination unit 103 outputs these determination results to the control unit 104.

  The content output instruction input receiving unit 106 receives an input of a content output instruction made by the user.

  When outputting the content, the control unit 104 controls the output of the advertisement information S2 according to the determination result of the determination unit 103 and the output instruction information output from the content output instruction input receiving unit 106, and the first It controls the entire digital broadcast receiver 100 such as information exchange with the output identifier storage unit 101, the second output identifier storage unit 102, and the content output instruction input reception unit 106 and content reproduction control. That is, when the control unit 104 receives the determination result of the determination unit 103 that does not output the advertisement information S2 included in the content instructed by the input output instruction information, other information excluding the advertisement information S2 That is, information such as program information S1 is output. The information output from the control unit 104 is reproduced by, for example, a connected television receiver TV.

  When the advertisement information S2 is not output, the situation information recording unit 105 writes the situation at that time as situation information. The situation information only needs to be able to at least determine which advertisement information of which sponsor has not been output. The specific source identifier corresponding to the advertisement information S2 that has not been output and the information processing that has not output the advertisement information S2 In order to identify a device, that is, a digital broadcast receiver, a device identifier IDd is combined. In addition, in order to grasp | ascertain the advertisement information S2 which was not output further in detail, this situation information may have the size information Ss of advertisement information S2. Furthermore, you may have the reproduction time information regarding the reproduction time at the time of reproducing advertisement information S2. It suffices that at least one of the size information Ss and the reproduction time information is included in the situation information.

  The situation information recorded in this way is output from the situation information output unit 107. The output status information is input to the fee collection center 200 via the Internet, for example. The fee collection center 200 determines the charge amount based on the sponsor information of the input status information, that is, the identification source identifier IDs, and determines which user is charged based on the device identifier IDd. Further, when the situation information includes the size information Ss, the reproduction time becomes longer when the reproduction information is included as the data size of the advertisement information S2 obtained from the size information Ss increases. Accordingly, the billing amount may be set higher.

  The first output identifier receiving unit 108 receives content sent from a broadcasting station, and the received content is stored in the first output identifier recording unit 101. The second output identifier receiving unit 109 receives the second output identifier ID2 and the device identifier output from the remote controller 5, and the received second output identifier ID2 and the device identifier are the second output identifier recording unit 102. To be recorded. When the digital broadcast receiver 100 is set, the second output identifier ID2 is recorded (initially set) so that the advertisement information S2 is not output, so that the recorded, that is, stored content is stored. When reproducing, it is possible to always output the advertisement information S2. Further, when a desired content is reproduced, it may be output from the remote controller 5 each time and received by the second output identifier receiving unit 109.

  With the above configuration, a program executed by the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In this embodiment, the advertisement information S2 and the first output identifier ID1 that identifies whether or not to output the advertisement information S2 to the first output identifier storage unit 101, and the identification that identifies the sponsor corresponding to the advertisement information S2 The content having the original identifier is already stored, the second output identifier ID2 for identifying whether or not the advertisement information S2 is output to the second output identifier storage unit 102, and the digital broadcast receiver 100 itself Assume that a device identifier for identifying is already stored. It is assumed that output instruction information is input from the remote controller 5 to the digital broadcast receiver 100 so as to reproduce the stored content. At the time of reproduction, when reproduction is started, the advertisement information S2 that can omit the output included in the stored content is not collectively output.

  First, in step n1, upon receiving a reproduction instruction from the remote controller 5, the content instructed to be reproduced is transferred to the determination unit 103.

  Similarly, in step n2, the second output identifier ID2 and the device identifier IDd are transferred to the determination unit 103.

  In step n3, the determination unit 103 determines whether or not to output the advertisement information S corresponding to the first output identifier ID1 based on the first output identifier ID1 and the second output identifier ID2 included in the input content. Determine whether. When the first output identifier ID1 indicates that the output can be omitted, and when the second output identifier ID2 indicates that the advertisement information S2 is not output, the first output identifier ID1 An instruction is output to the control unit 104 so as not to output the advertisement information S2 corresponding to the one output identifier ID1. In addition, even if the second output identifier ID2 indicates that the advertisement information S2 is not output, if the first output identifier ID1 indicates that the advertisement information S2 is output, the determination unit 103 performs the first output. An instruction is output to the control unit 104 so as to output the advertisement information S2 corresponding to the identifier ID1. Therefore, such advertisement information S2 is necessarily output together with the program information S1 (step n8).

  In step n4, the control unit 104 outputs the program information included in the content without outputting the advertisement information S2 determined not to be output by the determination unit 103. That is, when the control unit 104 detects the advertisement information S2 determined not to be output by the determination unit 103 while outputting the program information S1, the control unit 104 buffers the program information S1 to be reproduced next to the advertisement information S2. Ring it. Next, when the output of the program information S1 being reproduced that has been output first is completed, the buffered program information S1 is output. Then, every time an instruction not to output the advertisement information S2 is input from the determination unit 103, this control is sequentially repeated, and the other program information included in the content is output without outputting the advertisement information S2 determined not to be output. S1 is sequentially output.

  In step n5, the control unit 104 outputs and stores the sponsor identification source identifier IDs, device identifier IDd, and size information Ss corresponding to the advertisement information S2 that has not been output to the status information storage unit 105.

  In step n6, the specific source identifier IDs, the device identifier IDd, and the size information Ss stored in the situation information storage unit 105 are transferred to the situation information output unit 107 to correspond to the advertisement information S2 that was not output when the content was reproduced. The specified source identifier IDs and the device identifier IDd are output to the charge collection center 200.

  In step n7, the charge amount information output from the charge collection center 200 is received.

  The fee collection center 200 has a server capable of IP connection. The server includes an HDD that stores various types of information, a control unit that controls input / output of information to / from the HDD, storage and output of content, a communication unit including a modem for IP connection, and the like. . The control unit includes a CPU, a memory, and an external input interface. These elements cooperate to serve as the status information receiving unit 201 and the billing amount determining unit 202 shown in FIG. In FIG. 6, only the characteristic part of the fee collection center 200 is shown, and the other parts are omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the fee collection center 200 receives the situation information output from the digital broadcast receiver 100 of each contracted user by the situation information receiving unit 201 (step n11), and receives the received situation information. The charge amount is calculated by the charge amount determination unit 202 (step n12). Then, the calculated billing amount is notified to the user via the Internet (step n13).

  This fee collection center has a table in which a billing amount is set corresponding to each sponsor, and the billing amount is determined by searching the table. In this embodiment, since the size information Ss indicating the size of the advertisement information S2 is included as the situation information, the charge amount is set to the basic charge amount set corresponding to the specific source identifier IDs. It is determined in consideration of the information Ss. Specifically, in proportion to the size of the advertisement information S2 indicated by the size information Ss, the billing amount is increased as the size increases. In addition, when a plurality of specific source identifiers IDs are included in the situation information, a billing amount is determined for each of the specific source identifiers IDs, and a final billing amount is determined by adding all the determined billing amounts. It is.

  After determining the charge amount, the charge collection center 200 identifies the device identifier IDd in the status information, and outputs the determined charge amount to the digital broadcast receiver 100 having the device identifier IDd. Therefore, the user can confirm the billing amount for the content that has been reproduced.

  In this way, when the stored content is reproduced, the program can be enjoyed without looking at the advertisement information S2 as desired by the user. On the other hand, even if the sponsored advertisement information S2 is not viewed, the sponsor can collect the consideration from the user.

  In the above description, the situation information includes the size information Ss. However, regardless of the presence of the size information Ss, the billing amount is determined for each sponsor indicated by the specific identifier IDs, and the advertisement is determined. The charge amount may be determined uniformly regardless of the size of the information S2.

Embodiment 2
Next, a configuration in which the charge amount is determined in the digital broadcast receiver 100A and the determined charge amount is output to the charge collection center 200A will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the second embodiment, functions of a billing amount determination unit 110 and a billing amount information output unit 111 are further added to the configuration of the digital broadcast receiver 100 in the above embodiment.

  The billing amount determination unit 110 determines the billing amount based on the identification source identifier IDs of the situation information output from the control unit 104. Since the specific source identifier IDs is set for each sponsor, the charge amount can be determined from the input specific source identifier IDs by setting the charge amount for each sponsor. When there is a plurality of sponsor advertisement information S2 in the reproduced content and the advertisement information S2 is not output, the charge amount is calculated for each specific identifier IDs, and the calculated charge amount is totaled. Determine the final billing amount. In the second embodiment, when determining the charge amount, the charge amount is determined according to the size of the advertisement information S2. The billing amount may be determined according to the reproduction time of the advertisement information S2.

  The billing amount information output unit 111 outputs billing amount information corresponding to the billing amount determined by the billing amount determination unit 110 so that the television receiver TV can display it, and outputs it to the fee collection center 200 via the Internet. To do. If it is always connected to the Internet, it may be output each time the content is played without outputting the advertisement information S2, and if it is not always connected, it connects to the Internet. May be automatically output in the event of a failure. Thereby, the user can transmit the billing amount information to the fee collection center 200A without being aware of the output of the billing amount information.

  Next, the processing for determining the charge amount will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, in step n21, the user to be charged is identified from the device identifier IDd received by the charge amount determination unit 110. The billing amount is determined for each identified user.

  In step n22, the basic charge amount is determined from the specific source identifier IDs received by the charge amount determination unit 110. When there are a plurality of received identification source identifiers IDs, a basic charge amount is calculated for each of them.

  In step n23, the basic billing amount calculated is multiplied by the billing rate set based on the received size information Ss, and the billing amount corresponding to the size of the advertisement information S2 is calculated and determined.

  In step n24, the final billing amount is determined from the billing amount calculated including the size information Ss. If there is one received identification source identifier IDs, the billing amount calculated in step n23 is the final billing amount. If there are a plurality of received identification source identifiers IDs, it corresponds to each identification source identifier IDs. The final billing amount is determined by adding the billing amounts calculated in the above. When the size information Ss is not included in the status information, the final billing amount is determined only by the billing amount corresponding to the sponsor identified by the identification source identifier IDs.

  In step n25, the determined final billing amount is stored, displayed on the television receiver TV, and transmitted to the fee collection center 200A. If it is always connected to the Internet, it is stored and output to the charge collection center 200. On the other hand, if it is not always connected, it is automatically output to the charge collection center 200A when the IP connection is made.

  The fee collection center 200A corresponding to the digital broadcast receiver 100A is configured to issue an invoice based on the charge amount information sent from the digital broadcast receiver 100A. That is, as shown in FIG. 10, the fee collection center 200A issues a bill based on the charge amount information receiving unit 210 that receives the charge amount information and the device identifier IDd, and the received charge amount information and the device identifier IDd. The bill issuing unit 211 is provided. In FIG. 10, only the characteristic part of the fee collection center 200A is shown, and the other parts are omitted.

  The billing amount information receiving unit 210 receives billing amount information and device identifier IDd output from the digital broadcast receiver 100A via, for example, the Internet.

  The bill issuing unit 211 issues a bill based on the received billing amount information for each device identifier IDd received by the billing amount information receiving unit 210. The invoice may be issued every time billing amount information is input, or may be issued in a tabulated or weekly or monthly basis. Such an invoice may be issued as digital data and transmitted to the digital broadcast receiver 100A, and may be issued in the form of a paper invoice printed with a charge amount printed. Also good.

  In such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 11, the charge collection center 200A receives the charge information output from the digital broadcast receiver 100A and the device identifier IDd as shown in FIG. A device identifier IDd is identified from the received billing amount information (step n31), and billing amount information related to the device identifier IDd is extracted (step n32). The bill issuing unit 211 issues a bill to the user specified by the device identifier IDd based on the billing amount information for each device identifier IDd (step n33).

  According to such a configuration, since the billing amount is determined in the digital broadcast receiver 100A, the user can immediately confirm the billing amount when the content is reproduced without the advertisement information S2.
