Abstract
【解決手段】テレビジョン番組情報を通信する方法であって、ユーザ装置と前記ユーザ装置から遠隔の地点に位置するテレビジョンスケジュール情報のデータベースとの間の通信リンクを確立し、前記ユーザ装置からのテレビジョン番組選択基準を前記ユーザ装置から遠隔の前記地点に通信し、テレビジョン番組選択基準に基づいてテレビジョンスケジュール情報のデータベースを検索して、データベースから、前記テレビジョン番組選択基準と一致するテレビジョン番組に対応する番組識別データを導き出し、そして前記番組識別データを前記通信リンクを介してユーザ装置に送信するステップを含む方法。
【選択図】図82
Description
テレビ画面の表示されるメニューに従って、リモートコントローラの一連のキー操作を行う(オンスクリーンプログラミング)等の方法がある。さらにこの他にも、タイマー予約設定の方法として(iv)ライトペンを用いてバーコード情報を読み取る(ライトペンプログラミング)、(v)コンピュータあるいは電話モデムによる指示に従う、などの方法が提案されている。これらのいろいろな方法は、情報を指定する物理的方法が互いに異なってはいるが、そのCDTL情報及び電源スイッチ、時計、タイマーオンオフ命令、などの内容は共通である。ただし、プロトコルの細部は、VCRの機種ごとにそれぞれ異なっている。上記の(i)及び(ii)の方法では、キーの操作回数が100回もの多くになることもあり、VCRのタイマー予約方法としては適切なものとは言えない。このような欠点を軽減するために、最近のVCRのモデルは、オンスクリーンプログラム機能、すなわち、テレビ画面上に表示されるメニューに従ってCDTL表示をリモート操作で入力していく機能を備えるようになってきている。一般に、CDTL情報をオンスクリーンプログラムで入力するには、平均18回のキー操作が必要である。この回数は、先の方法と比較すると少なくなっているものの、なお相当に多数の回数を必要としている。一方、他の方法、例えば上記(iv)の方法では、バーコードリーダなどの特別な装置が必要となる。
〔PROG〕〔2〕〔1〕〔15〕〔07〕〔30〕〔2〕〔08〕〔00〕〔2〕〔04〕〔PROG〕
まず最初に、〔PROG〕キー26を押して予約モードに入る。次に、数値キー20を押していく。〔2〕は、時刻設定ではなく、タイマー録画であることを意味するものである。〔1〕はユーザがプログラム番号1に対する設定入力をこれから行うことを意味する。〔15〕は日付である。〔07〕は開始時間である。〔30〕は開始時間の次に付される分の値を表している。〔2〕は午後であることを意味する。続く〔08〕〔00〕〔2〕は停止時刻を意味している。〔04〕はチャネル番号である。最後に〔PROG〕がもう一度押されて予約モードから脱出する。

と入れ替えられる。これは、かなり巧妙な機密保持技術であり、このようにすると、この方法によらない最初の2つのチャネルを用いたデコーダがうまく作動しなくなるようにできる。符号化技術に対する機密保持のためのクロックに対する依存性のもたせ方は、この他の方法も可能である。
ル記録の中から、このデータCpDpTpLp114に対応するチャネル、日付、時刻、および長さを探し出す。今の例の場合では、CDTL118は、5 10 19.001.5である。すなわち、チャネルが5であり、日付が10日、時刻が7:00PM、長さが1.5時間である。
あるいは

このGコード99はCDTL情報に変換されて保存され、この例の場合では毎日使用されることとなる。録画は指定された日に開始され、その日から後は、同じチャネル・時刻・長さ情報が毎日使用される。これに些細な変更を加えることもできる。例えば、ほとんどの毎日録画番組は土曜日と日曜日には放送されないので、自動的に週末は録画を行わないようにする。
〔PROG〕**〔取り消し〕
なお、上記の**はGコードを表している。なお、先の場合と同様に、この場合においても、これに代わる実現方法がいろいろとあり得る。
