In FIG. 3, when the cinema server 105 receives a movie trailer and schedule information from the satellite information transmission server 101 and transmits a movie trailer to the plurality of satellite information terminals 131 according to the schedule information, the satellite information terminal 131 A flow chart is shown for Example 1, in which) a movie trailer.

Referring to FIG. 3, the information providing server 103 (for example, a movie distributor server) registers a movie trailer (S301) and transmits the movie trailer to the satellite information transmitting server 101 through a network 109. (S303).

When the satellite information transmission server 101 is equipped with equipment such as a video cassette recorder (Beta VCR) 111 and a broadcasting camera 113 and directly rewrites and inputs a movie trailer, steps S301 and S303 may be omitted. have.

The satellite information transmission server 101 stores the movie trailer received or directly input from the information providing server 103 (S305), and determines whether a predetermined transmission condition is satisfied to transmit the stored movie trailer to the cinema server 105. The determination is made (S307).

The method of checking whether or not the delivery condition of the movie trailer is satisfied is, for example, when the movie trailer is set to be transmitted at a predetermined time, and whether or not the specified time has arrived, and if the satellite information transmission server 101 When the administrator of the user selects the start transmission button and the movie trailer is set to transmit, it is checked whether the start transmission button is selected from the administrator. In addition, of course, various settings are possible.

If the transfer condition is not satisfied as a result of the check in step S307, the process waits until the transfer condition is satisfied in step S307. Otherwise, the flow advances to step S307 to transmit the file information packet to the movie theater server 105 of the movie theater. S309).

The file information packet is a packet transmitted to the movie theater server 105 before the movie trailer is transmitted. The file information packet stores the movie trailer transmitted from the satellite information transmission server 101 to the movie theater server 105 and the network 109. It may include information such as whether the satellite information terminal 131 connected through it needs to be received or stored.

And even if the movie trailer is transmitted to all the satellite information terminal 131 by the control code, each satellite information terminal 131 can determine whether to receive and store the movie trailer.

When the movie theater server 105 receives the file information packet (S311), it is determined whether to receive and store a movie trailer file transmitted corresponding to the file information packet by using the received file information packet. (S313).

If the reception and storage conditions are satisfied as a result of the determination in step S313, the flow advances to step S317 to receive and store the movie trailer transmitted from the satellite information transmission server 101 through step S315. Of course, if the movie trailer is information (eg, real-time traffic information) that only requires real-time display, the storing process may be omitted and transmitted to the satellite information terminal 131 at the same time.

The method may further include checking whether the storage state of the movie trailer is normal (not shown). If the storage state is not normal, only the good data may be stored first, and then the storage operation may be performed until the data that is not stored in the repeated transmission is completely stored.

As a result of the determination in step S313, the reception and storage conditions are not satisfied, or after receiving and storing the movie trailer from the satellite information transmission server 101 through step S317, the flow moves on to step S319. It is determined whether there is additional information transmitted from an affiliate company through a network or directly input by an input device combined with a movie theater server (S319). If the additional information is input, the new movie trailer is combined by combining the movie trailer and the additional information. Create and store (S321).

As a result of the determination in step S319, there is no additional information received or input, or after the new information trailer is generated and stored by combining the additional information with the movie trailer in step S321, the stored movie trailer is stored according to the movie trailer presentation schedule. It transmits to the information terminal 131 (S323). The satellite information terminal 131 receives a movie trailer from the movie theater server 105, decodes the movie trailer, and displays the same through the display unit (S325).

When a movie trailer is displayed according to a movie trailer presentation schedule, when a new movie trailer is received from the satellite information transmission server 101, the movie trailer may be set to be displayed in preference to an already stored movie trailer or another movie trailer. Data that expires can be automatically deleted.

In addition, the movie trailer may be stored only for one day and then deleted at dawn the next day, or the old movie trailer may be automatically deleted when a new movie trailer is received.

Although not shown in FIG. 3, if a report data request is received from the satellite information transmitting server 101 during or after step S319, the movie theater server 105 transmits the related information to the satellite information transmitting server through the network 109. The process of transmitting to 101 may be further included.

4 is an exemplary view of a screen of a satellite information terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the satellite information terminal 131 is located inside and outside the movie theater 107 and may be installed at the entrance of a movie theater or an elevator, a ticket office, a waiting room, and the like that are easily seen by people.

For example, when the satellite information terminal 131 is installed at the movie theater entrance 407 of the movie theater, people can watch the movie trailer displayed on the satellite information terminal 131.

The screen 401 of the satellite information terminal 131 may be divided into a movie trailer display portion 403 and a news display portion 405.

The movie trailer display portion 403 displays a movie trailer transmitted from the information providing server (movie distributor server) 103 and transmitted via the satellite information transmission server 101.

The news display portion 405 is transmitted from the information providing server (movie distributor server) 103 or directly inputted by the satellite information transmission server 101 or the cinema server 105 and then transmitted through the satellite information transmission server 101. Movie trailer is displayed.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and many variations are possible by those skilled in the art within the spirit of the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, a movie theater server receives a movie trailer from a satellite information transmission server through a satellite communication network, transmits the movie trailer to at least one satellite information terminal installed in a movie theater via a network, and a satellite information terminal. May provide a movie trailer providing method and apparatus using a satellite information terminal for displaying the movie trailer.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a method and apparatus for providing a movie trailer using a satellite information terminal to build an informatization in a movie theater and to quickly provide a movie trailer to a visitor.

In addition, according to the present invention, by transmitting the schedule information to play the information along with the movie trailer to the movie theater server, the movie theater server transmits the movie trailer to the video information terminal according to the schedule information so that the video information terminal according to the time zone, installation location It is possible to provide a movie trailer providing method and apparatus using a satellite information terminal to display the.

In addition, according to the present invention, to provide a method and apparatus for providing a movie trailer using a satellite information terminal that can reduce the manpower and cost required for the management by remotely controlling and managing the cinema server from the server providing the information. Can be.
