A.放送網
本発明は、本明細書では放送網と呼ばれる、放送コンテンツを提供するために主に使用されるネットワークの背景状況において特定の応用例を有する。このような放送網は、一般に、放送コンテンツを複数のユーザに同期方式で配信することを必要とする。しかし、いくつかの放送網は、コンテンツを複数のユーザに同期的にプッシュすることに限定されず、ユーザ・プル・ベースを含めて、コンテンツを特定のユーザに配信するためにも使用できる。上記のように、放送網のいくつかの例は、ケーブル・テレビ網、衛星テレビ網、および衛星ラジオ・ネットワークを含む。それに加えて、音声、映像、または他のコンテンツも、インターネット・プロトコルおよびテレフォニー・ネットワークを介して放送することができる。このようなネットワークでは、広告などのターゲット・アセットをブロードキャスト・ストリーム内に挿入することが望ましい場合がある。コンテンツを特定のユーザに配信するために使用される放送網の例は、VODおよびポッドキャストなどのオン・デマンド・コンテンツを配信するために使用される放送網を含む。本発明では、この点に関してさまざまな機能を実現するが、これらについては以下でさらに詳しく説明する。
特定の時刻に特定のチャンネルまたは他の帯域幅セグメントでどのような番組が利用可能であるかは、スケジューリングにより決定される。そのため、テレビ放送網の背景状況において、特定の番組にチャンネルに関連する、個々の番組ネットワークでは、一般に、十分先まで、例えば数週間または数カ月先まで、番組スケジュールを組む。この番組スケジュールは、一般に、ユーザが関心のある番組を見つけられるようにユーザに対し公開される。それに加えて、この番組スケジュールは、所望のアセット配信スポットを選択するためにアセット・プロバイダにより使用される。
従来の放送網は、アセット対応およびプレミアム・コンテンツ・チャンネル/ネットワークを含む。上記のように、番組コンテンツは、一般に、かなり高くつく。すなわち、番組プロバイダは、一般にかなりの費用をかけて開発または購入された、番組プロバイダが提供する番組について補償されることを期待している。この補償は、アセット配信収益、プレミアム・チャンネルについてユーザが支払う料金、またはそれら2つの何らかの組み合わせによりもたらされうる。いくつかの場合において、資金調達源は、公的資金などの他の調達先であってよい。
A.ターゲット・アセット配信環境
従来のアセット配信パラダイムの背景状況において説明されるこの背景に対し、本発明を具現化するシステムについて以下で説明する。本発明のシステムは、後に説明される実施形態において、従来の放送網のいくつかの欠点または不効率を解消するために、広告などのターゲット・アセットの配信を可能にする。一般に、このようなターゲット設定は、個人の所望のグループまたは所望の特性を持つ個人にアセットを送信すること必要とする。これらの特性または視聴者分類パラメータは、個人情報、人口統計情報、心理学的情報、地理情報、またはターゲット視聴者を識別する際のアセット・プロバイダに関連する他の情報に基づいて定義される。好適には、このようなターゲット設定は、番組制作がアセットのターゲット設定のための非常に不完全なメカニズムであるという認識において番組独立である。例えば、ユーザ分析結果が、特定の番組の視聴者の60%は女性であることを示し、女性は特定のアセットに対するターゲット視聴者を含む場合、その番組の放送の結果、40%の不整合が生じる。すなわち、到達する可能性のあるユーザの40%は、アセット・プロバイダにとっては関心がなく、価格決定は、全視聴者の60%にのみ基づく。さらに、理想的には、ターゲット・アセット配信では、非常に細かい粒度を含む一定範囲の粒度のターゲット設定を行える。例えば、地理的グループ分け、世帯特徴付け、またはさらに個別ユーザ特徴付けなどに基づいてグループをターゲットとすることが望ましい。本発明は、番組独立ターゲット設定、高い粒度のターゲット設定、およびさまざまな異なる視聴者分類に基づくターゲット設定に適合する。
一実装では、本発明のシステムは、番組チャンネル上の他のアセットと時間を合わせつつ、または同期して、アセットの選択肢を送信することを含むが、アセットの選択肢は、少なくとも部分的には、別の帯域幅セグメント、例えばターゲット・アセット配信に少なくとも一時的に専用となるチャンネルを介して提供される。このようなオプションは、典型的には、番組中のブレークに合わせて送信される、連続する番組と反対のオプションを提供することが望ましい場合がある(例えば、指定された地理的領域内の加入者のみが、気象放送、緊急放送、選挙結果、または他のローカル情報を受け取り、他の加入者は間断なく番組を受け取ることができるように)。利用可能なオプションの間の選択は、この実装におけるDSTBのように、ユーザの宅内で実行される。この方法で、アセットの選択肢は、ユーザの宅内にかなり大きな記憶装置資源または機器更新を必要とせずに、適切なターゲット設定を行うのに利用できる(例えば、転送・蓄積アーキテクチャに必要な場合がある)。実際、既存のDSTBは、適切なロジックをダウンロードおよび/またはプリロードすることにより後に説明されるシステムを実装するロジックを実行するように構成することができる。
A.測定および投票
上記のように、テレビ網のユーザにターゲット・アセットを提供するために、CPEの少なくとも一部から受信した信号を利用して、配信のアセットの選択肢を選択し、および/または視聴者の規模および構成を決定するとよい。例えば、ネットワーク事業者は、ネットワーク・ユーザの全員または標本抽出からの信号を受信する。この標本抽出は、好適には、統計的に有意(標本の大きさに関して)であり、またすべての該当するユーザの母集団を高い信頼度で代表するに十分ランダムであることに関して有効である。場合によっては、ネットワーク事業者は、ターゲット・アセット・システムを「選択した」か、またはそれに加わることに同意したユーザのみから信号を受信し、ユーザのこのグループは、統計的に有意または関連性がない。しかし、多くの場合、これらの信号は、現在視聴されているチャンネル、および/または現在のユーザの視聴者分類を示すことができる。この点に関して、中継局などのネットワーク・プラットフォームと1つまたは複数の世帯のDSTBなどのCPEとの間の双方向通信経路をネットワーク・インターフェイス上に用意するとよい。
アセットの選択肢の送信に利用可能な帯域幅は、一般に制限される。したがって、アセット・ターゲット設定システムは、それぞれのアセット・チャンネルの使用を最適化し、利用される追加の帯域幅を識別することにより増強することが可能である。それぞれのアセット・チャンネルの使用を最適化することに関して、ブレークの開始時刻および終了時刻などのスケジューリング情報は、番組チャンネル毎に得ることができる。すなわち、ネットワークでは、利用時間枠を定義することができ、この情報は、ターゲット・アセット配信システムにより使用される場合、にアクセスされる。この情報は、1つまたは複数のブレークが所与の番組チャンネル上にいつ出現するかを近似的に決定するために利用される。したがって、このような情報は、ターゲット設定および裁定の目的に使用される。例えば、図15を参照すると、チャンネル1506は、2つの別々のブレーク1516、1562に対応する別々の利用時間枠1550および1560を含むことが分かる。しかし、いくつかの場合において、特定のチャンネルは、別々のブレークに対して別々の利用時間枠情報を提供しない。例えば、チャンネル1502については、利用時間枠1570は、チャンネル1502の番組期間の全長を超える。これらの場合、複数のブレークが、単一時間枠内に定義することが可能である。そのため、第1のブレークは、時間枠に対し第1のキュー・トーン(またはメッセージ)により示され、第2のブレークは、時間枠内の第2のキュー・トーンにより示される。キュー・トーンが従来の利用時間枠の背景状況において見つからないと、後続のすべてのブレークのアセットが影響を受ける。利用時間枠情報は、ブレークの開始および終了時刻に直接対応していないため、利用時間枠1550、1560、および1570に関する情報があっても、単独では、ブレークが出現する時期、および/または異なるチャンネル上のブレークがオーバーラップするかどうかを識別することができない場合がある。したがって、ターゲット・アセット配信に対する利用可能な帯域幅が、より効果的に利用され、および/または割り当てられるように利用時間枠を絞り込む方法が提供される。図21を参照すると、方法(2100)は、少なくとも第1の番組チャンネルの番組期間に対するネットワーク提供利用時間枠情報を得る(2110)ことから始まる。利用時間枠情報は、1つのブレークが出現する少なくとも第1の期間を識別する情報である。より一般的に、利用時間枠情報は、複数のチャンネル(例えば、チャンネル1502、1504、および1506)について得られる(2110)。ネットワーク提供時間枠情報が得られると(2110)、(複数の)番組チャンネルの番組期間に関連する履歴情報が出力される(2120)。例えば、本発明のシステムは、実際のブレーク時間情報を集めて、この情報を統計的に処理する。履歴情報が分析され、(複数の)番組チャンネルの番組期間の1つまたは複数のブレークに対する過去の実行時間を識別する(2130)。その点に関して、システムは、利用可能時間枠情報のみ、またはブレークの時刻のベースライン推定(間違っている場合もある)から開始される。いずれの場合も、システムは、次いで、注目しているチャンネル上のブレークを監視することによりブレークの時刻を知る。システムに対し、何らかの履歴情報を種として入力する。
上記のように、このシステムでは、現在のネットワーク状態に基づいて、1つまたは複数の番組チャンネルをサポートし、アセットが動的に挿入される。すなわち、予想されるネットワーク状態に基づいて前もって選択されるのとは反対に、現在のネットワーク状態に照らして、番組チャンネルについてアセットが選択される。テレビ番組のブレークに関してアセットの動的挿入を対象とする方法2200は、図22に例示されている。図に示されているように、この方法は、番組チャンネルを監視して(2210)、例えば、現在の番組または現在の視聴者規模を決定することから始まる。多数の番組チャンネルを監視可能であることは理解されるであろう。いずれにせよ、少なくとも1つの番組チャンネルの現在のステータスに関するステータス情報が、調達される(2220)。このような調達には、放送網内で1つまたは複数のCPE(例えば、DSTB)から信号を受信することを含む。この点に関して、このようなステータス情報は、実質的にリアルタイムで、または少なくともターゲット・アセットが提供されるブレークに詳しく対応する期間内に、受信される。ステータス情報は、限定されることなく、現在の番組、1つまたは複数の番組チャンネルに対する現在の視聴者の規模、現在の番組チャンネルの視聴者に関する視聴者分類情報、および/または現在の番組チャンネルの視聴者の地理的構成、およびもちろん、地理情報を含む分類に関する投票を含む。このような情報は、もしあったとすれば、プライバシー問題に相当な注意を払って取得するのが好適である。そのような現在のステータス情報に基づいて、1つまたは複数の番組チャンネルの次回番組期間についてアセット挿入オプションを識別する(2230)。例えば、アセットの選択肢は、現在のネットワーク状態に基づいて選択される。1配列では、後続の番組期間に対するアセット挿入スケジュールは、現在のネットワーク状態に基づいて立てられる(2240)。例えば、後続のブレークに対するアセット群は、現在のネットワーク状態に基づいてアセットを埋めることができる。したがって、選択されたアセットが、後続のブレーク内に挿入される(2250)。
アセットの選択肢の中から、どのアセットが(複数の)ユーザに配信されたかを示すレポートをCPEから受信することなく、本発明のターゲット・アセット・システムを実装することが可能である。すなわち、どのようなアセットが誰に配信されたかについては相当の不確定性があるが、投票法により現在のネットワーク状態に関する推定に基づいてアセットの価格が決定される。このような価格決定は、従来のアセット配信パラダイムの下での格付けまたはシェアベースの価格決定に関するいくつかの点で改善される。それとは別に、価格決定は、アセットを受信したユーザの数の推定値を形成するためにアセット挿入の記録とともに、ニールセン・データなどの人口統計格付け情報に全面的に基づく。例えば、これは、よい格付け情報を持つ番組チャンネルに関連して機能する。
上では、放送網内でターゲット・アセットを提供するシステムについて説明した。この説明では、ケーブル・テレビ網でターゲット広告を行うために多数の参照があった。それに加えて、中継局、CPE、およびT&Bプラットフォームに適切な追加および修正を行った、いくつかの従来のコンポーネントを使用してターゲット広告システムを実装することに対しても参照した。これは、限定はしないが、本発明の有利な応用を表している。この節では、特定の実装詳細の例とともにさらに詳しく本発明のこの応用について説明する。
