By providing a navigation guide service with a map display, it is possible to eliminate the hassle of having to perform a telephone call through a separate Internet phone as in the conventional. In addition, the present invention provides an automatic call and guide service method and apparatus in the IPTV, an example selected by the viewer on the IPTV, can directly call to a restaurant, such as a restaurant recommended restaurants or bargains sale at a special price, Based on the location, it can show similar restaurants and clothing stores up to several meters in radius, and the navigation guidance service can be conveniently performed with the shortest map display.
Description
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for automatic calling and announcement service in Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), and more particularly, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) linked to IPTV. The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for providing a navigation guidance service by automatic calling to a specific place selected by a viewer based on the current location of the viewer and displaying a map of the shortest distance.
As is well known, IPTV is an IP set top box in addition to receiving broadcast signals transmitted from a program provider or terrestrial, cable, and satellite in the form of digital convergence in which broadcasting and communication are converged. It is a TV receiver connected to the Internet, and provides ICOD (internet contents on demand) services such as TV Internet contents and video contents through a high-speed Internet protocol network.
That is, IPTV is a TV connected to an IP set-top box through a broadband high-speed internet network, which is a type of interactive TV content that combines communication and broadcasting according to the digital convergence of a program provider's broadcaster and a content provider in the Internet market. It provides Internet multimedia contents service including packet data and provides interactive IPTV service through bidirectional communication channel through return pass server.
In addition, IPTV provides various services based on internet access environment such as web surfing and e-mail to the user through TV, and it is possible to receive various contents possessed by the IPTV service provider in real time in connection with the IPTV service provider.
Accordingly, a user can watch a desired broadcast at a desired time, and in the case of a real-time broadcast, it is possible to implement an interactive service in which the user can directly participate, not simply a unidirectional service.
In addition, IPTV has a voice call service function added through the Internet. The voice call service function is provided as a VoIP service application that enables voice calls over the Internet based on the Internet protocol. Information obtained in the voice call service process may be provided as an output screen of the TV.
However, in the conventional IPTV operating as described above, it is possible to perform an Internet phone call using VoIP, but it is cumbersome to install a separate Internet phone, and when a phone call is required while watching a broadcast through IPTV. There is a problem that there is no way to perform the call directly through the IPTV, and to perform the call directly on the IPTV.
Accordingly, the technical problem of the present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the automatic call to the specific place selected by the viewer and the shortest time during the broadcast viewing through the IPTV based on the current position of the VoIP linked to the IPTV The present invention provides a method and apparatus for automatic calling and guidance service in IPTV for providing a navigation guidance service by displaying a map of a street.
Automatic call and guidance service method in IPTV according to an aspect of the present invention, the step of receiving and outputting the IPTV broadcast service in conjunction with the Internet network, and when the automatic call to a specific place of the output IPTV broadcast service is selected And reading a phone number corresponding to a specific place, and controlling to transmit and receive voice information bidirectionally by connecting a call path by automatically calling based on the read phone number.
In addition, the automatic call and guide service apparatus in IPTV according to another aspect of the present invention, the network interface for interfacing the IPTV broadcast service in conjunction with the Internet network, the output unit for outputting the IPTV broadcast service interfaced, and the output IPTV If the automatic call to a specific place is selected among the broadcast services, the control unit reads and provides a phone number corresponding to a specific place, and automatically calls based on the read phone number to connect a call path to connect voice information in both directions. It characterized in that it comprises a VoIP control unit for controlling to transmit and receive.
The present invention provides a navigation guidance service by automatically calling to a specific place selected by the viewer and the shortest distance map display while watching a broadcast through IPTV based on the current location of VoIP linked to IPTV, thereby providing a separate navigation guidance service. Eliminate the hassle of having to make a phone call through an Internet phone.
In addition, the present invention provides an automatic call and guide service method and apparatus in the IPTV, an example selected by the viewer on the IPTV, can directly call to a restaurant, such as a restaurant recommended restaurants or bargains sale at a special price, It shows the similar restaurants and clothing stores up to a few meters in radius based on the location, and the navigation guidance service can be conveniently performed with the shortest distance map display.
Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the operating principle of the present invention. In the following description of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted. Terms to be described later are terms defined in consideration of functions in the present invention, and may be changed according to intentions or customs of users or operators. Therefore, the definition should be made based on the contents throughout the specification.
