Description

IPTV service system and method providing user-customized user interfaces and user-customized health contents}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an IPTV system, and more particularly, to an IPTV system that facilitates user health by easily using IPTV by generating and providing a user-defined health content and a user-defined UI corresponding to the identified user. And an IPTV service providing method.

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) refers to a service that provides contents such as video and broadcasting to a television using high speed internet. In other words, IPTV is a type of digital convergence in that it is a convergence of the Internet and television. IPTV provides the broadcasting contents including the video, but there is no difference from general cable broadcasting or satellite broadcasting, but it has the feature of adding the bi-directionality. In other words, unlike general public broadcasting, cable broadcasting or satellite broadcasting, IPTV allows viewers to select and watch a program they want to watch at a convenient time. In addition, IPTV differs from traditional Internet TV by using a television receiver instead of a PC monitor and a remote controller instead of a mouse.

To use IPTV, a television receiver, a set top box (STB), and an internet line must be connected. In other words, you can connect a set-top box or a dedicated modem to your television and turn it on as if you were turning on the television. Therefore, even a person who is not familiar with a computer can easily enjoy various contents and additional services provided by the Internet, such as a search service and a movie, by using a remote controller. On the other hand, in the case of a broadcast service through the IPTV service, it is possible to provide a higher quality image by using a high-speed communication network.

Briefly introducing the IPTV service according to the prior art, a service provider that provides an IPTV service provides a VoD (Video on Demand) service for content contracted with a content provider, and provides an over-the-air or wired service. A program of a broadcast can be provided. In addition, the service provider may provide an internet-based content service to the subscriber in association with a network provider. That is, the service provider may integrate the respective contents and deliver them to the user terminal. To this end, the service provider may include a broadcast server, a VoD server, a metadata server, and the like.

The types of services provided through IPTV, such as broadcasting services, VoD services, and Internet services, are increasing. The types of contents provided by each service are increasing. Therefore, there is a need for a user to quickly search for and select his or her favorite content among various contents.

However, unlike a personal computer, an IPTV user terminal is not operated by a keyboard or a mouse having various input keys. Rather, the user terminal is operated by a remote control having a small number of operation buttons built in the terminal or a small amount of input keys. Therefore, as the number of selectable contents provided to the user increases, the task of selecting the contents preferred by the user becomes difficult. Of course, a method of providing a list of recently viewed contents separately and providing them is used. However, such a method can be used only to call back previously used contents. It cannot be used to newly select the content to be made.

In addition, the IPTV according to the related art determines whether a subscriber is using a physical ID (PID) of a user terminal and does not recognize individual users. In the case of adult content, adults may be judged to allow only adults to watch it, but in this case, instead of identifying each adult, it is only allowed to watch adult content by simply entering a pre-registered password. to be.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technology that allows a user to easily select their preferred services and content.

In addition, there is an urgent need for a technology that provides various information suitable for the identified user by identifying a user who currently uses the user terminal, instead of authenticating the user terminal subscribed to the IPTV service.

In addition, the terms "... unit", "... unit", "module", "block", etc. described in the specification mean a unit for processing at least one function or operation, which means hardware, software, or hardware. And software.

1 is a block diagram conceptually illustrating an IPTV service providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The IPTV service providing system 100 shown in FIG. 1 includes user terminals 110, 120, 130, measurement sensors 115, 125, 135, a network provider 140, a service provider 150, and a communication server. 145. The user terminals 110, 120, and 130 include user identification units 117, 127, and 137 and user identification memories 119, 129, and 139, respectively. When the user selects the user's favorite content using the user terminals 110, 120, and 130, the service provider 150 selects the content selected by the user through the network provider 140 through the user terminals 110, 120, and 130. To provide.

The service provider 150 may include a network interface 155, a central control unit 160, a message generating module 165, an authentication module 170, a UI generating module 180, a health content generating module 190, and a database 195. ). The network interface 155 converts user input received from the user terminals 110, 120, and 130 and contents provided from the service provider 150 to the user terminals 110, 120, and 130 in the form of IPTV packets. Send and receive In general, the network interface 155 is in charge of a physical layer and a data link layer. The network interface 155 performs network communication based on the wired / wireless network and the TCP / IP protocol. At this time, the network may be a wired or wireless network, it can be extended to any network including a LAN, WAN, etc., but it is preferable to implement the Internet (Internet) network.

When the user terminal 110, 120, 130 is powered on, the PID (physical identification) of the user terminal is received through the network interface 155 and transmitted to the authentication module 170. The authentication module 170 searches whether any of the PIDs of the subscriber station stored in the database 195 match. If there is a matching PID, it is determined that the corresponding user terminal is a subscribed terminal.

If the user terminal is authenticated, the users using each user terminal are identified. The operation of identifying the user may be performed at the service provider 150 or may be performed directly at each user terminal. For example, a case in which the user identification operation is performed in the authentication module 170 of the service provider 150 will be described below. That is, the authentication module 170 uses the user specific information to identify the user using the authenticated user terminal. For example, the authentication module 170 may identify a user by requesting a preset password for each user. Alternatively, the user may be identified using unique biological information such as fingerprint information and ocular vein information of the user received through the measurement sensors 115, 125, and 135. In this case, the unique body information for each user is previously stored in the database 195. Alternatively, the authentication module 170 may identify a user by using a remote controller provided for each user. In this case, when the PID of the remote controller is loaded on the infrared signal of the remote controller operating the user terminal and reaches the user terminal, the user terminal transmits the PID of the remote controller to the authentication / identification module 170. Then, the authentication / identification module 170 may search for matching with the received PID among the PIDs previously stored in the database 195, and identify the user according to the search result.

Alternatively, a case in which the user identification operation is performed in the user identification units 117, 127, and 137 included in the user terminal will be described below. In this case, the user identification unit 117, 127, 137 requests a user to input a preset password for each user, or uses a user's unique body information received through the measurement sensor 115, 125, 135 to select a user. Can be identified. In this case, the unique body information for each user is stored in the user identification memories 119, 129, and 139 in each user terminal. Alternatively, the user identification units 117, 127, and 137 may identify a user by using a remote controller provided for each user. In this case, when the PID of the remote controller is loaded on the infrared signal of the remote controller operating the user terminal and reaches the user terminal, the user identification units 117, 127, and 137 are pre-stored PIDs in the user identification memories 119, 129, and 139. The user may search for a match with the PID of the received remote controller and identify the user according to the search result.

If the user identification operation is performed directly at each user terminal instead of the service provider, the user identification operation can be easily performed. That is, when the user terminal is used for home use, the number of users to be recognized by each user terminal is only about five. Furthermore, since all users using the user terminal can be assumed to be family members, there is less concern about the leakage of personal information, and therefore, relatively little effort is required to maintain the security of personal information. Even if the user terminal is used in a fitness center or the like, each user terminal is enough to identify only the number of members of the fitness center. Therefore, the amount of information required for user identification is reduced, and the time required for identification operation is also significantly reduced. On the other hand, if a user identification operation is performed at the service provider, the service provider must identify all possible users of all terminals subscribed to it, in this case identifying millions to tens of millions of users. In addition, the effort and capital invested in securing such personal information from so many users are significantly increased.

Once the user is identified, the UI generation module 180 generates a customized UI according to the identified user. For example, if the identified user is 60 or older, the UI generation module 180 may increase the font size of the provided menu and change the color to be dark. Alternatively, if there are twenty identified users, instead of reducing the size of the provided fonts, more menus can be displayed at once. In addition, the UI generation module 180 may read health information, body information, exercise history information, etc. corresponding to the recognized user from the database 195 and change the UI accordingly. For example, the UI may be changed to display a menu for the most recently performed exercise first. Alternatively, the UI may be changed to display the exercise at the top of the menu so as to analyze the exercise recently performed by the user to preferentially perform the lacking exercise.

In addition, when the user is identified, the health content generation module 190 may directly generate user-defined health content corresponding to the identified user. In the present specification, the health content is a term that collectively refers to information provided to improve the user's health, such as a user's health state, physical information, exercise history information, exercise prescription, nutrition prescription, and preferred exercise method suitable for the user. Of course, the customized health content generated by the health content generation module 190 may be arranged to have priority in the customized UI. User-specific health content is described in detail later in this section of the specification. In addition, the health content generation module may generate user-specific health content as a form of game content for a network that may cause a competition between several users connected to the network 140. For example, it is possible to provide a game environment for achieving a similar purpose among users of similar health level, and to provide game contents that give high scores to those who continuously exercise according to exercise prescription among each user. .

The message generation module 165 generates a message that encourages the user to use the customized health content through the IPTV by referring to the user information stored in the database 195. For example, the message generating module 165 refers to the user information, and if the information to transmit the encouragement message is recorded in the user information every day at 8 pm, the message generation module 165 generates the encouragement message to be transmitted to the user at each corresponding time. The message may be transmitted to the communication device possessed by the user through the communication server 145. For example, the user's communication device may be a mobile phone, in which case the communication server 145 may be a mobile phone server. Alternatively, the user's communication device may be a wired telephone, in which case the communication server 145 may be a wired telephone server.

When the message is generated, the central controller 160 transmits the generated message to the communication server 145 through the network 140. At this time, the message generation module 165 may include a right indicator necessary to use the customized health content suitable for the user in the message. In this specification, an authority indicator is used to indicate whether a specific user has authority to use specific content. For example, in the case of paid content, the authority indicator may be issued only to the person who paid for the content.

The user may be sent with an encouraging message to turn on the IPTV to use the specific content together with an authority indicator indicating that payment for the content has been made. Of course, the authority indicator may be an authentication number for using the content. The user can then use the content by inputting the received authority indicator to his communication device. Through this process, since only the user who pays the proper cost for the content can use the content, complicated billing problem is solved neatly and the user convenience is maximized.

When the customized UI and the customized health content are generated, the central controller 160 transmits them to the user terminals 110, 120, and 130 through the network interface 155.

In FIG. 1, the database 195 may include metadata, broadcast content, VoD content, etc., as well as user identification information, user-specific exercise prescription, nutritional prescription, preferred exercise method, and the like.

The user terminals 110, 120, and 130 shown in FIG. 1 are RTP / RTCP managers (not shown), Demux (not shown), and audio / video. Decoder (Audio / Video Decoder, not shown), Channel Manager (not shown), PSI / PSIP decoder (Program Specific Information / Program and System Information Protocol Decoder, not shown), memory (not shown), etc. It is obvious that this can be done, which is the same as the prior art, and thus detailed description is omitted for the sake of simplicity of the specification.

2 is a flowchart conceptually illustrating a method for providing an IPTV service according to another aspect of the present invention.

First, when the power of the user terminal is turned on, the PID of the user terminal is received through the network. Then, it is determined whether the received PID is one of the subscribed PIDs to authenticate the user terminal (S210).

If the user terminal is authenticated, the current user is identified using user-specific information corresponding to the user using the authenticated user terminal (S220). As described above, a password and unique biometric information may be used as the user specific information.

If the current user is identified, a user-customized UI is generated according to the identified user (S230). As described above, the type and number of selectable items, the size and color of the displayed font, and the display order of the items may be changed according to the user identified in this process. If a user-customized UI is provided (S240), the user can easily select the desired content.

Then, it is determined whether the user selects what content through the provided UI (S250). If the user selects the health content, user-generated health content is generated according to the identified user (S260). The customized health content includes various information for promoting the health of the user. Then, the generated user-customized health content is provided to the user terminal used by the identified user (S270). In order to generate user-customized health content, various information such as questionnaire results of the user's health state, physical information, athletic ability, and information on exercise history may be used.

If the user selects the broadcast content, the service provider searches for the broadcast content selected by the user from the database and provides a search result to the user. Or, if the user selects the additional service, the additional service is provided to the user (S290). Additional services may include a variety of services, such as TV e-commerce, TV complaint application, TV distance education, Internet search, home shopping, home banking, online games, MP3 playback. That is, various additional services provided in the additional service providing step S290 may be various additional services provided in the conventional IPTV.

3 is a diagram illustrating a menu structure of a user-customized UI generated by the present invention to correspond to an identified user.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the user selects a health / medical menu, a user login screen is provided to provide user-customized health / medical contents. The health / medical menu consists of a 'measurement analysis and evaluation', 'a survey evaluation', a 'custom prescription practice program', and a 'practice management' menu and respective submenus.

The IPTV service providing system according to the present invention provides each menu shown in FIG. 3 to correspond to the identified user. For example, the 'my health history' menu under the 'practice management' menu may display information such as a growth history, a weight history, a blood pressure history, and a blood sugar history corresponding to the currently identified user. In addition, the 'exercise prescription' menu may provide an exercise prescription most suitable for the currently identified user.

In addition, the IPTV service providing system according to the present invention may directly change the UI provided to the user to suit the identified user. For example, if the user is at least 60 years old, a 'dementia self-assessment' item may be inserted into the 'question evaluation' item as shown. On the other hand, if the user is in their twenties, the item 'risk of smoking' may be placed instead.

It should be noted that the menu shown in FIG. 3 is provided by way of example in order to facilitate understanding and does not limit the present invention.

4A and 4B are diagrams illustrating the customized health content provided to the user when the user selects the 'fitness index' and the 'fitness measurement results' menu, respectively.

In FIG. 4A, it can be seen that the currently identified user's name is 'health' and various information is provided, such as the user's health age, comprehensive fitness index, health fitness index, and athletic fitness index. In addition, in FIG. 4B, various fitness information such as muscle endurance, muscle strength, quickness, and agility of the current user are provided along with the past information in the item 'my fitness measurement result'. It is apparent that the various health information provided in FIGS. 4A and 4B are corresponding information for the identified users. Therefore, the user can easily obtain various information corresponding to his health through the IPTV terminal, and can be motivated for health care based on this.

5A and 5B are diagrams illustrating a questionnaire and an evaluation result provided to the user when the user selects the 'lifestyle' menu, respectively.

Referring to Figure 5a, 'my lifestyle?' You can see the various questions about eating habits from the menu. The user can write an answer to each questionnaire by using an IPTV remote control or an IPTV terminal button. The answer selected by the user can then be provided to the service provider and used to generate health content corresponding to that user. In addition, the service provider may generate a final measurement result based on the survey result and provide it to the user terminal as health content. Referring to FIG. 5B, a total health score, life expectancy, and a comprehensive analysis result of the current user may be provided to the user.

6A and 6B are diagrams illustrating dementia related health content provided to a user, respectively.

As described above, it is as described above that the health content provided in FIGS. 6B and 6B can be provided only if, for example, the identified user is at least 60 years old and therefore belongs to the high risk group of dementia. If it is determined that the identified user belongs to a high risk group of dementia, the dementia is provided to the user in the test item, and the user writes an answer for each item. The response result of the user is provided to the service provider, and the service provider may evaluate the risk of dementia and the like and provide the result to the user. Alternatively, useful health information, such as dementia prevention tips as shown in FIG. 6B, may also be provided as customized health content.

As described above, the IPTV service providing system and method using the present invention is applied to the two-way public service convergence content production technology for measuring and inputting and analyzing the health information of the individual, and provide the health / medical content suitable for the analysis result Can be.

The health information of the users can be measured using measurement equipment installed in the public welfare centers, community centers, senior centers, social welfare centers, and necessary facilities for the underprivileged. Once the measured health information is provided to the service provider via IPTV, the service provider automatically measures and analyzes the health / fitness / health survey to dynamically generate personalized health analysis content fused with the health measurement medium. In addition, the service provider may provide personalized exercise prescription based on personalized health analysis content. Expert groups can also be connected to IPTV networks, in which case the IPTV's telecommunications infrastructure can be used to enable citizens to easily access health and medical content services with expert analytical opinions at home.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible. For example, the embodiments provided by the authentication module 170 in a manner of identifying a user are all merely exemplary, and various identification techniques according to the related art may be applied.

Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention will be defined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.

The present invention can be used to provide an IPTV service specialized for user customized health content.
