본 발명은 주문형(on-demand) 매체 배달 시스템에 관한 것으로, 특히 시스템을 향상시키기 위한 사용자 관련형 메모리를 갖는 주문형 매체 배달 시스템에 관한 것이다.
몇몇 알려진 주문형 비디오 시스템에서는, 셋톱 박스가 케이블 시스템의 헤드엔드로부터 주문형 비디오를 수신하는데 이용된다. 이러한 셋톱 박스는 통신을 행하거나, 비디오 및/또는 다른 기능성을 텔레비전 세트, VCR 또는 다른 국부 장치로 배달한다. 이들 시스템은 사용자가 그들의 주문형 비디오 서비스를 상이한 위치로 재배치하게 할 수 있기에 불충분하였다. 이들 시스템은 또한 적절한 재배치 기술을 제공하기에 불충분하고, 사용자가 그들의 개인용 비디오, 그래픽, 이미지 또는 사진을 업로드 및 접근하게 할 수 있기에 불충분하며, 사용자가 매체를 공유하게 할 수 있기에 불충분하다.
하드디스크 기술 또는 다른 기록 기술을 이용하여 프로그램의 비디오를 국부적으로 저장하는 시스템이 개발되어 있다. 하드디스크 시스템의 예는 그 전체의 내용이 본 명세서에 참조를 위해 통합되어 있고, 핫셀(Hassell) 등에 의해 1998년 9월 17일자로 출원된 미국 출원 번호 제09/157,256호에 개시되어 있다. 하드디스크 기반형 제품이 또한 캘리포니아주, 썬니베일(Sunnyvale)에 소재한 티보 인크(TiVo, Inc.)사 및 캘리포니아주, 마운틴뷰(Mountainview)에 소재한 리플레이 네트웍스 인크(Replay Networks, Inc.)사에 의해 개발되어 있다. 이들 시스템은 사용자의 요구를 만족시키기에 불충분하였다. 예를 들면, 이들 시스템은 사용자가 기록된 자료에 지속적으로 접근하는 다른 가구(household)에 재배치하게 할 수 없다.
사용자의 셋톱 박스로부터 케이블 시스템의 헤드엔드로의 복귀 경로를 포함하는 텔레비전 플랫폼이 또한 개발되어 있다. 예를 들면, 셋톱 박스가 케이블 시스템의 헤드엔드와 클라이언트-서버 배열 내에 있는 클라이언트-서버 기반형 프로그램 가이드가 개발되어 있다. 이들 배열에 의해, 케이블 시스템의 헤드엔드와 셋톱 박스간에 양방향 통신이 가능해진다. 이들 서버는 통상적으로 셋톱 박스로부터 발생된 요구에 응답하여 프로그램 리스트 정보(예컨대, 프로그램 제목 및 방송 시간)를 셋톱 박스에 제공한다. 클라이언트-서버 텔레비전 프로그램 가이드가 또한 개발되어 있는데, 프로그램 및 설정치는 원격 서버에 기록되어 있다. 이들 알려진 시스템은 여러 면으로 불충분하였다. 예를 들면, 이러한 시스템 내의 서버(케이블 시스템의 헤드엔드에 있어서의 서버)는 충분한 이동성 기능을 제공하는데 불충분하였다.
전술한 바와 같이, 이들 시스템은 적절한 재배치 기술을 제공하기에 불충분하고, 사용자가 그들의 개인용 비디오, 그래픽, 이미지 또는 사진을 업로드 및 접근하게 할 수 있기에 불충분하며, 사용자가 매체를 공유하게 할 수 있기에 불충분하다. 이들 시스템은 사용자가 기록된 자료에 지속적으로 접근하는 다른 가구(household)에 재배치하게 할 수 없다. 이러한 시스템 내의 서버(케이블 시스템의 헤드엔드에 있어서의 서버)는 충분한 이동성 기능을 제공하는데 불충분하였다.
이 주문형 매체 배달 시스템은 사용자가 하나의 사용자 기기 상의 주문형 매체 배달을 정지시키고 배달을 재생하여, 다른 사용자 기기(예컨대, 그 사용자가 주문형 매체 배달을 정지시킨 경우 그 사용자가 이전에 주문형 매체 배달 콘텐츠를 시청하고 있던 가구와는 상이한 가구 내에 있는 사용자 기기)로부터 배달 및 시청을 재개할 수 있는 재배치 기능을 가질 수 있다. 라이브 공급(live feed)으로 제공되는 주문형 매체 콘텐츠는, 사용자가 주문형 매체 콘텐츠의 배달을 정지하도록 선택한 경우에 사용자를 위해 원격적으로 기록한다.
사용자 특정(user-specific) 데이터는 때때로 사용자 프로필 내에 저장된다. 이 주문형 매체 배달 시스템은 사용자가 주문형 매체 배달 시스템에 의해 식별되었을 때에는 사용자가 사용자 프로필을 원격적으로 접근하여 조작하게 할 수 있다. 사용자는 또한 소정의 유형의 데이터, 파일 또는 프로그램을 국부의 사용자 기기와 주문형 매체 배달 시스템의 서버 사이에서 업로드 또는 다운로드할 수 있다. 업로드된 데이터, 파일 또는 프로그램은, 개인(private) 접근 권한이 할당되거나, 공개(public) 또는 그룹 접근 권한이 할당된다. 접근 권한은 데이터, 파일 또는 프로그램의 판독 권한, 기입 권한, 조작 권한, 업로드 권한 또는 다운로드 권한을 포함할 수 있다.
주문형 매체 배달 시스템 내에는 자동커스터마이즈화(customization) 기능을 포함한다. 주문형 매체 배달 시스템은 저장된 사용자 기기의 선호도를 이용하여 사용자 기기를 설정 및 커스터마이즈한다. 사용자 기기는, 사용자가 주문형 매체 배달 시스템 내의 소정의 사용자 기기로부터 실제적으로 로그인할 때 설정 또는 커스터마이즈화된다. 사용자 기기의 선호도는, 예를 들어 볼륨 설정치, 바람직한 프로그램 설정치, 메뉴 설정 및 채널 블록 설정치를 포함할 수 있다.
주문형 매체 서버의 특수한 능력을 이용하고, 주문형 매체 서버 상의 사용자 관련형 정보 및/또는 개인용 매체를 저장하는 것을 이용하는 이들 및 다른 기능 및 기능성이 또한 이하에 기술된다.
본 발명의 원리에 따르면, 사용자의 개인용 매체의 원격 기억 장치를 위한, 저장된 매체의 공유를 위한 및 주문형 매체 서비스를 재배치하기 위한 기능을 위한 주문형 매체 배달 시스템 및 방법을 제공할 수 있다. 이러한 기능 및 기능성은 주문형 매체 배달 서버에 저장되어 있는 사용자 관련형 정보에 기초하여 제공된다. 이러한 기능은 이 주문형 매체 배달 시스템과 대화하는데 이용되는 기기의 유형(예컨대, 셋톱 박스, 개인용 컴퓨터 등)에 무관하게 제공된다.
