Abstract
【解決手段】映像資産情報を視聴者に提示して視聴者が視聴のために映像資産を選択するのを助けるためのシステム及び方法。映像資産は、VOD(ビデオ・オン・デマンド)、PVR(パーソナルビデオレコーダ)、及びブロードキャスト(空中、ケーブル、及び衛星経由を含む)のような複数の異なる映像資産供給源から利用可能とすることができる。映像資産からの画像は、映像資産に関する情報と共に一様な方法で表示される。この情報は、メタデータカテゴリにあるデータを含む。視聴者は、視聴のための映像資産の1つを選択することができるが、ジャンル、俳優、監督などのメタデータカテゴリを使用してナビゲートすることもできる。これは、視聴者に対して遥かに容易で自然なナビゲート及び選択法を可能にする。

Description
本出願は、2004年4月7日出願の米国特許仮出願第60/560,146号の恩典を請求する2005年3月15日出願の米国特許出願第11/081,009号からの優先権を主張するものであり、これらは、本明細書において引用により組み込まれている。
本発明は、マルチチャンネル映像環境に関するものであり、より具体的には、再生のためにサーバ上で利用可能なブロードキャストされた映像資産を通してナビゲートするためのシステムに関する。
本発明の例示的な実施形態は、ユーザのために映像資産情報を収集して、ユーザが複数の異なる映像資産供給源から利用可能な視聴のための映像資産を選択するのを助けるためのシステムを含む。それは、複数の異なる映像資産供給源から使用可能である映像資産に関する、少なくとも1つのメタデータカテゴリに分類されたデータを格納するメタデータ構成要素を含む。メタデータカテゴリの例には、俳優、監督、ジャンル、スポーツ、リーグ、チーム、選手、又は学校が含まれる。データの少なくとも一部は、ユーザに提示され、ユーザが映像資産供給源に関係なく映像資産を選択して視聴することを可能にする。システムはまた、複数の異なる映像資産供給源から利用可能な各映像資産に関連する少なくとも1つの画像を取得して格納するクリップ/静止画像構成要素を含む。この1つ又は複数の画像は、データと共にユーザに表示される。システムはまた、利用可能な映像資産を複数の映像資産供給源から判断するための資産利用可能性構成要素を含むことができる。ユーザは、どの映像資産供給源が映像資産に対して利用可能であるかを選択することができる。このシステムは、ユーザが特定の映像資産供給源上で映像資産を選択するのを助ける第1のシステムの補助とすることができる。
本発明の上記及び他の特徴は、図面と共に以下の詳細説明に鑑みてより良く理解されるであろう。
本発明の更に別の特徴は、本明細書において引用により組み込まれている、2005年3月15日出願の「映像選択のための表示ガイドの方法及びシステム」という名称の現在特許出願中の米国特許出願第11/080,389号に説明されている。
VODサービスにアクセスすることができ、また、PVR(パーソナルビデオレコーダ)サービスを含むデジタル受信装置を有するデジタルケーブルシステムにおける加入者を考える。最初に、消費者は、映画を見ることになり、従って、ディスプレイは、図3に示すようにフルスクリーンの映像を表示することができるものである。映画のどの時点でも、図4に示すように、ディスプレイ上に表示されるように対話式情報バナー38を開始することができる(リモコン上の専用ボタンを押すことにより)。この例においては、バナー38は、チャンネルロゴが左にあり、現在の映画の何らかのテキストによる説明文42が右にある。説明文には、いくつかの「接続フィールド」44が説明されており、何らかの視覚効果でマーク付けされている(この例においては、下線が引かれている)。フィールド44は、同じ属性を有する資産の関連の検索結果を表す(従って、「ウィル・スミス」フィールドは、ウィル・スミスを俳優として特集する全ての資産を表す)。
第4に、「検索メタデータデータベース」64は、オペレータがメタデータをコンテンツに追加することができるユーザインタフェース62を有することができる。
Assets_available_to_receiver=
IF(receiver_has_PVR)
THEN(assets_available_on_VOD+assets_present_in_program_information)
ELSE(assets_avaiable_on_VOD)+assets_present_in_program_information+assets_on_PVR)
END
この実施例で説明しているのは、本発明の1つの可能な実施形態のみである。本発明は、代替的な実施形態及び実施例で実施することができることは当業者には明白であるべきである。網羅的であることを試みずに、代替的な実施形態をここで開示する。
本発明をその例示的な実施形態に関連して示して説明したが、本発明の精神及び範囲から逸脱することなくその形態及び詳細における様々な他の変更、省略、及び追加をそこに行うことができる。
