Description
本発明は、テレビジョンスケジュール情報を提供するシステムに関し、更に言えば、改良型のテレビジョンスケジュール情報ガイドに関するものであって、テレビプログラムの視聴をスケジュールする際に視聴者により多くの情報と制御を与えるものである。
これらのシステムはユーザにテレビジョンスケジュール情報を与えるために利用することができる。例えば、米国特許第B1 4,706,121(Young)は、テレビジョンスケジュールシステムとプロセスを与える。Youngのある1つの実施例では、テレビジョンスケジュール情報はユーザのテレビジョンスクリーンの上に提供される。ユーザはプログラムの選択やその他同様のことを行うためにYoungのシステムによって利用される選択規準を提供することもできる。更に、Youngは、テレビジョン受信機を制御することによって、プログラムの自動選択を可能にしたり、テレビジョンスケジュール情報ガイドにリストされたプログラムを自動的に何ら管理することなく記録することを可能ならしめるシステムを開示する。ビデオテープレコーダ(VCR)や他の記録デバイスを制御することによってプログラムは自動的に何ら管理することなく記録されるようにされている。
本発明は改良型の相互作用テレビジョンスケジュールシステムを有する。好ましい実施例では、現在のショーに「2分の残り」が存在することをユーザに知らせる代わりに、システムは例えば「2分以内に10時のニュースが開始されるだろう」と表示する。他の好ましい実施例では、ユーザはこのシステムによってVCR上のPLAYを押してTVをVCR源へ設定することもできる。
A.システム概略
本発明は改良型のテレビジョン(TV)スケジュールシステムを提供する。図1Aは本発明に従ってプログラムスケジュールガイドを表示するテレビジョン/コンピュータシステム100の好ましい実施例を示している。図示されているように、システム100は分散センタ110と複数の受信位置を有する。分散センタ110はデータストリームのためのデータを編集する。好ましい実施例では、このデータストリームは受信位置116、118、120、122へ放送される。分散センタ110からこれらの受信位置116、118、120、122へ放送するために幾つかの方法を利用できる。例えば、衛星115はテレビジョンチャンネル(例えばPBS)や専用チャンネルの垂直帰線消去インターバル(VBI)内にこのデータストリームを受信位置116、118、120、122へ放送することもできる。また、データは、バンド外で、つまり、チャンネル特定機構を何ら使用せずとも、放送され得る。他の好ましい実施例では、データストリームは送信システム113を通じて受信位置116、118、120、122へ与えられる。送信システム113は、例えば、光ファイバ、同軸ケーブル、電話線、テレビ放送またはその他同種のものである。
図1Cは、電子オンスクリーンスケジュール表示や他の機能を実行するために利用される電子ハードウェアユニットの一実施例のブロック図である。開示された特別の回路は、テレビ視聴用の家庭用衛星反射板を備えたTVRO(TV受信のみ)カスタマのためのものである。このユニットは現存のカスタマTVRO装置と直列に接続されている。
既述のように、DBEはRAMに階層データベースを構築する。ある1つの実施例において、データベースの階層構造は図1Dに示されているようなものである。図示のように、データベースは、ハンドルとハンドルテーブルによってリンクされたスケジュールデータ構造とテーマデータ構造として内部に構成されている。各ハンドルはハンドルテーブルへのインデックスであるが、このハンドルテーブルは、データベースの構造が記憶されたメモリのブロックに対するポインタを含む。
チャンネルデータテーブル:チャンネルの加入者ユニットのリストを含むショーリスト:あるチャンネルについて放送されるようスケジュールされた各ショーについてのタイムスロットを含むショータイトル:タイトルテキストとショータイトル属性を含むショー記述:ショーの視聴率、属性、記述テキストを含む
図1Eに示されたチャンネルデータテーブルは階層中の最高位データ構造である。このテーブルは加入者ユニットによって受信された各チャンネルについてのエントリを含む。チャンネル内のこれらのエントリはめったに変更されず、また、加入者ユニットの位置と受信されたサービスのタイプとによって決定される。各チャンネルデータテーブルエントリは、チャンネルと、このチャンネルのためのショーリストハンドルテーブルへのハンドルと、に関する情報を有する。
ある特定時間のためのスケジュール情報を得るため、また、プログラミンググリッドのスケジュール情報を表示するため、以下のステップが必要とされる。チャンネルリストの各チャンネルについて、その日のためのショーリストがアクセスされ且つ走査される。チャンネルについての水平ブロックは、所定時間を含む及び所定時間に続くショースロットの継続時間に従って寸法を定められている。各ショースロットによって参照されるショータイトルエントリがアクセスされ、そのショータイトルがショースロットに対応する水平ブロックに表示される。
図1Eに戻ると、チャンネルデータテーブルの各エントリはFAVORITE LINKフィールドを有する。このフィールドは、次の好みのチャンネルへのリンクを有しており、ユーザによって決定された順番で、順序付けされたリンクリストを形成するために利用される。ユーザインタフェースとデータベースエンジンは、ガイドに表示されるべきチャンネルの順序付けと選択を助けるためにスクリーンを提供する。順序付けされたチャンネルリストの第1のチャンネルに対するリンクはメモリに記憶される。このリンクは、最も好みのチャンネルのためのチャンネルテーブルエントリをアクセスするために利用される。
データベースのより有効な特徴は、テーマによって複数のショーを寄せ集める能力である。ショータイトルに記憶されたテーマIDとショー記述エントリは、特定のショーを特定分野テーマに整合させるために利用される。例えば、視聴者は全てのコメディー映画の一覧表を見たいかもしれない。
視聴者がある特定タイプのショー、例えば、コメディー映画、についてのサーチを開始したときに、各チャンネルが検査され、リストされた各ショーのテーマIDが、映画主要カテゴリーエントリに対応するテーマサブカテゴリーテーブルのコメディーエントリに記憶されたテーマIDに対して比較される。整合テーマIDを有するショーに関する情報は、ユーザインタフェース局部バッファのテーマサーチデータ構造に記憶される。
1.所定の開始時間に対し、各チャンネルエントリについて、この時間において、若しくは、この時間中に、テーマ規準に整合する第1のショーを見つけてリストを生成する。整合するチャンネルの記録を残す。
adリストデータ構造はショーリストに似ている。これは開始時間とadスケジューリングの24時間を含む。adリストは地域に分けられており、ある所定の日に放送されるべき各adについてのadスロットを有する。このadスロットは継続時間と、dエントリにアセクスするために利用されるAd IDと、を有する。
データベースはプロセッサ上で動作するデータベースエンジンソフトウェアモジュールによって構築される。別々のコマンドを備えたメッセージがデータベースエンジンによって受け取られる。コマンドの例として、チャンネルデータテーブルに含まれるべきある特定の加入者ユニットのために利用可能なチャンネルを特定する領域コマンドと、チャンネルデータテーブルにおけるエントリを形成するために利用される情報を含んだチャンネルデータコマンドと、メモリの領域を参照するSIDとDIDを含んだショーリスト、ショータイトル、及びショー記述コマンドが含まれる。データベースエンジンは、チャンネルテーブルに含まれたチャンネルに関連あるショーリストコマンドのみを更に処理を行うために選択する。
ガイドユーザインタフェース(GUI)は、その主要な入力として遠隔制御コマンドを捕らえる。ある実施例で、ユーザは、遠隔制御上の機能ボタンを押すことによって様々な機能をリクエストする。他の実施例で、GUIは、異なる機能に対応する表示スクリーン上の異なる相互作用領域を用いて利用される。ユーザは所望の機能に対応する相互作用領域上へカーソルを移動させ、その機能を選択してコマンドを発生する。コマンドを入力する特定の形態は重要ではなく、ボイスコマンドを利用するための技術もまもなく利用され得る。
図2Aはプログラムスケジュールガイドスクリーン200を示したものである。図示されているように、ユーザは、1週の中の異なる日の間で、領域210にわたってカーソルを移動させることができる。図2Aでは、ユーザは水曜日(WED)を選択している。故に、表示されるスケジュール情報は水曜日についてのものであり、示された時間は現在の時間である。このシステムは、何時にユーザはテレビを見ているのかを知っており、現在の時間に対応するセルのデフォルトにカーソルが配置されるように自動的に調整を行う。ユーザは、その日の異なる時間の間で移動するように領域215にわたってカーソルを移動させることもできる。また、このシステムは、テレビジョンスケジュールガイド上のある特定のタイムスロットをユーザが直接的にアクセスすることを可能にするようなソフトウェアを含んでいてもよい。この実施例では、ユーザは、例えば、右矢印キー(将来)、若しくは、左矢印キー(過去)が後に続くようなデジット(時間を表示している)をエンターすることもでき、システムはユーザを選択されたタイムスロット上に位置付ける。この方法で、ユーザは記録のための開始時間を指示することもできる。所望のタイムスロットに到達した後、ユーザは記録ボタンを選択するだけで簡単に記録をスケジュールすることができる。
