(1.発明の分野)
本発明は、娯楽システムの分野、特に、システムが監視したユーザ対話および選好したシステム・アクセス時間に基づいてシステムを自動的に構成するための方法および装置に関する。
娯楽システムの分野では、ここ数年目覚ましい進歩が見られる。たとえば今や国中の数多くのケーブル・システム上では、番組ガイドが普及している。一実施形態では、これらの番組ガイドがケーブル放送の特定チャンネル上でオファーされ、次の数時間の番組情報を提供する。ユーザがこれら従来技術システムの中でさらに進歩したものを使用すると、番組ガイドと対話して、記録するかまたは見る特定の番組を手動で選択することができる。
複数のユーザにより使用可能であり、かつ情報ソースとして少なくとも「インターネット」及び「TV信号ソース」に接続されたTVを備えたコンピュータにおいて、
それぞれのユーザの前記情報ソースに対する選択に基づき決定された、各ユーザのそれぞれの情報ソースに対する嗜好を、それぞれ含む複数のユーザ・プロファイルを保存するユーザ・プロファイル・データベースと、
該ユーザ・プロファイル・データベースに保存されたユーザの嗜好に基づき、それぞれの情報ソースから当該ユーザに提供されるべき情報を選択する情報選択手段と、
を備えたTVを備えたコンピュータ
を要旨とする。
以下の説明では、本発明を完全に理解するために、例示的な目的で特定の番号、材料、および構成について示す。ただし当分野の技術者であれば、本発明が特定の細部なしに実施できることを理解されよう。その他のインスタンスでは、本発明が不明瞭にならないように周知の特徴が省略または簡略化される。さらに理解しやすいように、一定の方法のステップが別々のステップとして詳細に説明され、これらの別々に説明されるステップは、その性能において必ずしも順序に依存していると解釈されるべきではない。
