Abstract
【解決手段】マルチ・ソース26、28、30及び34から受信したテレビジョン・スケジュール情報を組合せる方式において、マイクロプロセッサ36がマルチ・ソース装置26、28、30及び34から受信したテレビジョン・スケジュール情報を組合せ分類する。スケジュール情報は次いで、テレビジョン・スケジュール・ガイドに表示される。利用者は、表示されたスケジュール情報中の番組を指定して該番組を選択する。システム10は次いで、自動切換え/同調を行い、所望のソース装置26、28、30及び34が宛て先装置22に入力され、次いで、チューナが選択した番組のチャンネルへ同調される。
【選択図】図1A
Description
従来の技術として、テレビジョン・スケジュール・ガイドに関する情報を提供する装置が幾つかある。これらの情報は、利用可能なチャンネル及び該チャンネルそれぞれのテレビ番組を、スクリーン上に格子(グリッド)状に表示するために使用される。通常、利用可能なチャンネルがY軸上に表示され、時間枠がX軸を占めることになる。これらの一覧表にされたチャンネルは、順番にまたは所望の所定の順序でテレビジョン画面上に表示することができる。米国特許第5353121号には、斯かるシステムが開示されており、当業界で幅広く受け入れられている。米国特許第5353121号は、参照することにより本書に組み入れられている。
ればならない。遠隔制御と自動化が当たり前となった社会においては、この解決策は多くの消費者に受け入れられないものである。更に、チャンネル間の手動切換えは、チャンネル・ソース数が増えるにつれて、より複雑になる。
本発明は、テレビ番組及びテレビジョン・スケジュール・ガイド情報を調整する同調方式を提供する。このテレビジョン・スケジュール・ガイド情報は多数のソースから受信することが可能である。上記に述べたように、これらのソースは、入力ケーブル線(例えば、同軸ケーブルの)、衛星放送、専用電話回線(例えば、ツイストペア)及び信号を伝送できるその他の任意の媒体を含んでいる。好適な実施例では、テレビジョン・チャンネル放送は、(1)ケーブル及び衛星用ディッシュ・アンテナ、または(2)2つの異なる衛星、または(3)ローカル・ケーブル及びDBSソース等の、少なくとも2つの別個のソースから受信される。スケジュール情報には、該スケジュール情報が特定のソースからのものであることを識別するソース識別子が設けられている。スケジュール情報は、組織的に分類されて利用者へ配給される。
は、利用者の衛星用ディッシュ・アンテナを自動的に動かして、利用者が関係するソースから所望の番組を受信できるようにする。本発明では、次いで、正しいチャンネルへの同調が行われる。
例えば、ケーブル及びアンテナ入力の場合には、システムが正しいビデオ入力に切り換え、次いで、テレビジョン・チューナを必要なチャンネルへ同調させて選択したソースを受信する。このようにして、マルチ・ソース・テレビジョン・スケジュール・ガイド情報への自動アクセスが提供される。
ソースがIRDボックス28で受信される。
メモリは少なくて済む。例えば、この後者の状況において、利用者が4時間の格子状の案内を見たいと思った時、4時間分の情報のみをRAM38にセーブすればよいのである。この即座の表示可能なフォーマットを別個のデータ・ストリームにして、異なる媒体またはテレビジョン・チャンネル上に供給することができる。
えば、バットマン60がIRDボックス28を介して受信された場合、該バットマン60は、そのチャンネル58上に配置されたIRDボックス28を識別するソース識別子を有することになる。
の構成では、ステップ80及び82が存在しない。
CRの記録機能を選択すなわち起動する。これにより、VCR24が選択された番組を録画する。次いで、コーディネータ20は、ステップ102において、ショウ番組の終了時間が現在の時間と合致するか否かをチェックする。
