Abstract
【解決手段】ビデオオンデマンド(VOD)コンテンツ配信システムはドリルダウン形式でビデオコンテンツのプレゼンテーションのためにヒエラキー内でテンプレートを管理する。テンプレートはより特定したコンテンツの低い順序の表示へのリンクを持ったより高い順序の表示を含む。視聴者はより特定したコンテンツのより低い順序の表示へのリンクによってより高い順序の表示からナビゲートできる。より高い順序の表示は製品広告であてもよく、より低い順序の表示は製品のための地方の小売業者の広告であってもよい。同様に、視聴者は全国的な製品広告から、地方広告、または特定の分類式広告への分類式広告カテゴリ、特定の投稿への掲示板の話題カテゴリにナビゲートできる。VODコンテンツ配信システムはインターネットを経由してアップロードされた消費者広告コンテンツをビデオデータフォーマットへ自動的に変換するためにウエブに基づくコンテンツ管理システムを用いて消費者発生分類式広告をテレビに配信するために用いられてもよい。ユーザインターフェイスは視聴者選択のためにタイトルおよび話題の分野によって分類式広告のリストを表示する。
