Abstract
【解決手段】視聴者にテレビジョンスケジュール情報を供給すると共に、視聴者が、リモートデータベース、例えば、インターネットのデータベースの情報にリンクし、サーチし、選択し対話することができるようにする。テレビジョンスケジュール情報は、テレビのスクリーン、コンピュータモニタ及びPCTVスクリーン等の種々の視聴者インターフェイスに表示することができる。テレビジョンスケジュール情報は、視聴者のコンピュータ、テレビジョン、PCTV又はリモートサーバに記憶されてもよいし、或いはテレビジョンスケジュール情報は、リモートデータベースから視聴者のコンピュータ、テレビジョン又はPCTVへダウンロードされてもよい。
【選択図】図1
Description
ンピュータプログラムは、テレビジョンスケジュールガイドのデータを受信し、編成しそして表示するのに必要なソフトウェアを含む。これらディスケットは、ディスク入力18に挿入され、そしてこれらディスケットのソフトウェアがコンピュータ12内でハードドライブ14に記憶されるか又は他の大量記憶位置に記憶される。この動作は、例えば、ユーザ又は修理技術者により行うことができる。又、コンピュータプログラムは、例えば、衛星24からのダウンロード、インターネット又は他のオンラインサービスによる送信、或いは別の形式の地上ライン22(例えば、同軸ケーブル、電話線、光ファイバ、等)による送信を介して与えることもできる。
取り上げる共通に譲渡された米国特許第5,353,121号及び第5,479,266号に説明されている。しかしながら、図12ないし17に示すテレビジョンスケジュールシステム200は、本発明のコンテクスト的リンクシステムに特に効果的である。というのは、視聴者がテレビジョンスケジュールを迅速に且つ効率的にブラウズできると共に、テレビジョンスケジュールの番組に関連した広範囲のサービスと対話できるようにするからである。
ブなモード(即ち、番組ガイド102)を指示すると共に、視聴者がモードメニュー114をプルダウンできるようにする(図13A参照)。又、番組ガイド102は、日付エリア116も含み、これは、番組マトリクス106に反映される日付を指示すると共に、視聴者が日付サブメニュー118をプルダウンして日付を変更できるようにする。他のサブモードにおいては、サブモードメニューが、そのサブモードに適切に関連したリストをオーダー又は表示するためのオプションを表示する。番組マトリクス106の左に位置する比例スクロールバー120は、番組マトリクス106の全情報に視覚的に比例し、ユーザがマトリクス106を縦にスクロールするときに視覚フィードバックを与える。更に、スクロールバー120は、このバー120へナビゲーションしそしてこのバー120を縦方向に移動することにより数百のチャンネル/ソースを経ての大規模な移動に使用される。出口領域122は、視聴者がこの出口領域122へナビゲーションしてリモートコントロール装置をクリックすることにより直ちにテレビジョンへと退出できるようにする。番組エリア126は、現在同調された番組を示し、そしてプレビューウインドウエリア128は、ショーマトリクス106において現在ハイライト処理されているショーの短い予告編のような全ての形式のプロモーション的、説明的又はコンテクスト的なビデオ又はグラフィックのために使用できる。又、このプレビューウインドウエリア128は、ガイド102の他のエリアと同様に対話式でもある。
ンの帽子、ミネソタバイキングの帽子、又はNFLの帽子を購入できるようにする。視聴者は、番組のリンクに従ってコマーシャルエリアに戻る選択を有し、そこでは、品目及びサービスの大規模な選択が得られる。上記の帽子のような商品は、視聴者をNFLプロショップへ直接導き、一方、ムービー・オン・デマンドへのリンクは、コマーシャルフィルムライブラリーへ導き戻す。
