Description
図1は、コンテンツのサーチしパッケージングし配送するシステム200のブロック図である。システム200によってパッケージングされ配送されるコンテンツは、ビデオ、テレビ、ラジオ、オーディオ、マルチメディア、コンピュータ・ソフトウェア及び電子書籍を含む。システム200のコンポーネントには、アグリゲータ201とユーザ端末202とが含まれており、これらは、広域(ワイド・エリア)流通システム203を用いて接続されている。それ以外のコンポーネントには、広域ネットワーク/インターネット205の接続を用いてアグリゲータ201との間でデータを交換する遠隔コンテンツ・サーバ204と、他のコンテンツ・データをアグリゲータ201に提供する外部コンテンツ・ソース232とがある。ユーザ端末202は、ビデオ表示システム207と、オーディオ再生システム208と、オーディオ/ビデオ記録システム209と、ユーザ入力装置214と、電子書籍リーダ230と、ユーザの自宅環境にある他の装置と相互作用するためのホーム・ネットワーク229への接続とを組み込むことができる。あるいは、ビデオ表示システム207とオーディオ再生システム208とオーディオ/ビデオ記録システム209と電子書籍リーダ230との中の1つ又は複数又はすべてが、ユーザ端末202に結合された別個のコンポーネントであってもよい。
ある実施例では、ユーザ端末202は、セットトップ端末206、パーソナル・コンピュータ端末211又はそれらの組合せとして構成されているかどうかとは関係なく、ユーザの家庭で機能するホーム・ネットワーク229の中に統合することができる。これにより、家の中の多くのノードで番組コンテンツを消費することが可能になる。ここで多くのノードとは、ビデオ表示システム207の様々な組合せを有する補助的なユーザ端末及び/又はパーソナル・コンピュータと、オーディオ再生システム208と、オーディオ/ビデオ記録システム209などで構成されている。主要なユーザ端末202は、他のネットワーク・ノードからの番組サーチ及びダウンロード・リクエストと、後続のダウンロードされた番組とを、イーサネット(登録商標)ネットワークなどのベースバンド・ビデオ・ネットワーク又はデジタル・データ・ネットワークのいずれかのリクエスト側のノードにルーティングする。補助的なノードは、このシステムを制御するユーザ入力装置214の組合せを有しており、番組リクエストとダウンロードとを開始する。ある実施例では、ハンドヘルド遠隔制御装置225が、無線周波数伝送を用いて、主要ユーザ端末202を遠隔位置から制御して、番組を遠隔ビデオ表示システム207に配送する。
