Abstract

PURPOSE: A bidirectional real time television broadcasting system using internet environment is to allow an image data of the internet or the television broadcast to be displayed on a television screen or a monitor of a computer in real time. CONSTITUTION: An image data of the internet is transmitted to a television broadcasting station and a television broadcasting signal is transmitted to a specific site of the internet network in real time. The television broadcasting station filters words or response inappropriate for a live broadcasting among the television broadcasting signal transmitted from the specific site of the internet network. The specific site of the internet network converts the received television broadcasting signal into a digital data for the internet broadcasting and the television broadcasting station converts the image data transmitted from the specific site into the a format appropriate for the television broadcasting. The television broadcasting station output the formatted program to a television and the specific site outputs the television broadcasting signal to the monitor of the computer.

Description

Live interactive TV system which simultaneously using internet web site}

This system corresponds to the field of internet application software and application technique.

In particular, it corresponds to the field of broadcasting using the Internet, and it is a technology combining the interactive nature of TV broadcasting and the Internet.

Conventionally, when broadcasting an Internet screen on a TV, it received only a video signal from a PC and showed it on the screen. The technology of live broadcasting and interactively communicating with the Internet remained unexplored.

Overcoming TV's unidirectionality by chatting, video chatting, auctioning, voting, and playing games in real time between live TV and the Internet.

Develop a device that can filter out terms and responses that are inappropriate for broadcast.

Development of technology that simultaneously displays the same data on different interfaces of the Internet and TV.

Developing a technology that can output an image state suitable for a computer monitor on the Internet and at the same time an image state suitable for a television receiver on a TV.

3-a is a structural diagram of a real-time interactive TV broadcasting system algorithm and data flow using the Internet environment.

3-B to 3-H illustrate an example of a net auction among data flows in a real-time interactive TV broadcasting system using an internet environment.

3-i to 3-n illustrate an example of a net chat among data flows in a real-time interactive TV broadcasting system using an internet environment.

3-O to FIG. 3-S illustrate an example of a questionnaire survey of a data flow in a real-time interactive TV broadcasting system using an internet environment.

This system can be divided into database server system, internet interface, TV interface, and application program.

-Internet and TV simultaneous live chat program

Since chat is very likely to be misused for broadcast inappropriate terms, a separate manual screening program is applied to the TV interface. Thus, during live broadcasting, the manager can see the conversations appearing in the censor window developed by the system before filtering the TV chat window from the master computer connected to the editing equipment of the station control room, filtering out inappropriate terms, and sending them to the broadcast.

-Simultaneous Real-time Video Chat Program for Internet TV

In video chat, the TV interface has the ability to select one of several users and video chat with one person and the performers in the studio. As a censoring function of this system, there is a function in which an administrator who makes an unsuitable act to broadcast is easily dismissed by an administrator.

-Real-time auction program for internet TV

Participation in the auction takes place on the Internet interface, and progress and results can be viewed on the TV interface. In progress, there is a function that automatically changes to a new reading every set time. It also has the function of displaying the winner's information on the screen right away.

-Simultaneous Real-Time Voting Program for Internet TV

Participants on the Internet can see the results immediately after voting, and can also see the voting progress in real time on the TV interface.

An implementation example (Figs. 3-b to 3-s) will be described with reference to the accompanying algorithm flowchart (Fig. 3-a).

The present invention (real-time interactive TV broadcasting system using the Internet environment) is a real-time user participation and results (e.g., Internet chat, Internet auctions, surveys) made in the Internet environment, rather than the Internet to show on the existing TV screen This allows you to interactively show on the Internet and on TV.

Since the present invention is implemented based on a computer with Internet access and an environment for watching TV broadcasts, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

When the user visits the target website, the user can go through a login process (Fig. 3-b, Fig. 3-i and Fig. 3-o) and participate in various events on the target website (step 1 and step 2).

The information and actions that a user enters into various events on the Web site are linked to each server (web server, database server, chat server) through active server programming, Java servlets / applets, and database query / response control programming techniques. To achieve. Access to the Web site may be directed to the web server through active server programming techniques, participation in events (such as surveys or auctions) to the database server through active server programming and database query / response control programming techniques, and to other users or broadcasters. Chat with Java leaves data and records on the chat server through Java servlet / applet programming techniques (step 3).

The information of each action of the user remaining in each server can be used as statistics and target marketing utilization data through analysis.

Depending on the user's actions, the information stored on the server is displayed on the Web site. Net auction (Fig. 3-f, Fig. 3-g), net chat (Fig. 3-l), abrupt voting (Fig. 3-r), etc. (Step 4).

In addition, it converts a program that is broadcasted on TV in real time and shows the results displayed on the web page and the information stored in the database on the TV screen (net auction drawing 3-f, drawing 3-g, and net chat drawing 3). -n, abrupt voting drawings 3-s). This allows not only users on the Internet, but also viewers watching TV, to simultaneously see the contents of the target website. Based on the Internet, a real-time interactive system is established through connection with TV broadcasting, and a paradigm shift is made between two-way and two-way systems beyond the limits of one-way and one-media.

Since the contents of the program being broadcast in real time may go out without filtration, the contents that are disturbing the progress can be supervised and controlled by a control system (a kind of filtration device, FIG. 3-m). The control system can filter out swear words, slang, slang, and beer that can occur during chats, and allows the screen to be adapted to the TV interface.

Eventually, the opinions and results of the users accessing the target website and participating in the event are delivered in real time to the viewers who are watching on TV. By breaking down the boundaries of media and laying the foundation for directing interactive TV broadcasting technology.

Internet and TV broadcasting are combined in real time, so netizens can directly participate in TV broadcasting through the Internet, feed back their reactions, and broadcast them, thus creating a full-fledged interactive program for viewers to participate together. The technology of grafting with broadcasting will overcome the limitations of existing TV media, enable direct and direct interactive TV broadcasting, and contribute greatly to the development of pure Internet broadcasting.

In addition, since both the Internet and TV media systems can be actively used in real time outside the scope of content utilization through only one medium, simultaneous target marketing for users or viewers using both media systems is possible.
