Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a coupon distribution system and method provided through data broadcasting, and an apparatus applied thereto. More particularly, the present invention provides a coupon to a broadcast viewer who receives the coupon after transmitting the coupon together with the broadcasting program through data broadcasting. The present invention relates to a coupon distribution system and method provided through data broadcasting for use in an online connection or an offline store, and an apparatus applied thereto.
Recently, in addition to digitalization of communication networks, broadcasting networks are also evolving toward digitalization as media are diversified from terrestrial waves to cables and satellites.
Digitization of communication networks and broadcasting networks removes the distinction between communication and broadcasting and enables new broadcasting services such as two-way broadcasting.
The interactive broadcasting service is a service for providing digital multimedia contents such as games, education, and living information through a TV, and enables a viewer to use various services through a simple remote control operation.
Interactive TV is a TV that decides when viewers will watch, and is called variously as Smart TV, Enhanced TV, Intelligent TV, Internet TV, etc. In addition to broadcasting, Internet service, data broadcasting service and PVR (Personal) Video Recorder) means a TV with integrated functions.
The interactive TV service does not unilaterally transmit a broadcast program from a broadcast station like a conventional broadcast, but may interact with each other between a viewer and a broadcast station. To this end, the broadcasting station may additionally produce content that implements the interactive function in addition to the broadcast program and transmit the content to the viewer, and the viewer may express intention through a return channel.
Two-way TV service can be divided into two types.
The first type is an enhanced service that provides additional information related to the program. In the linked service, the additional information may be provided in the same channel where the program is provided because the additional information is linked with the program. That is, the additional information is transmitted using the spare frequency band within the frequency band allocated for program transmission. Additional information provided by the linked service may include program performer and shooting location information, athlete and score information of a sports event, and more detailed information in an advertisement.
When providing additional information through the same channel as the program, if the user presses the interactive service button on the remote control while viewing the program, the program screen is switched to the interactive service screen, and the free space created when the original program screen is reduced in size. A menu for selecting additional information is displayed. At this time, the user can select the desired menu by using the direction buttons or the number buttons of the remote control can use the information.
The second type is a virtual channel that provides information that is not related to the program. Unlike a linked service, a standalone service generally uses a separate frequency band because information provided is not related to a program. In the stand-alone service, the viewer can select a separate channel and use the information, so it can operate as a paid channel based on the subscriber.
Services that can be provided through the stand-alone service include news, life information, weather forecasting information providing services, home shopping, e-commerce services such as stock trading, communication services such as TV-mail, chat, etc. Electronic Program Guide (EPG) Service
Etc.
As such, when information is provided using a separate channel from the program, the user can change the channel with the remote controller and select the desired menu to use the corresponding information.
