[Previous Technology] Broadcasters such as television and radio have set out to provide viewers and listeners with auxiliary digital services in addition to traditional media streams, such as program information, news, weather reports, competition reports, etc. Assisted digital services are usually delivered to viewers via the Internet using the viewer's (audience) personal computer or other Internet-connected device. Radio and television stations are desperately hoping to use their services to deliver content from content providers to collect profits from content promotions. Operators have provided ringtones and images on their web pages and can deliver them to users from the content provider system. Users must browse the web to access information about existing content and how to order. The broadcaster must promote the website in the broadcast media to attract users to the website. However, there are problems with obtaining and delivering items. Usually people do not own a PC with Internet access when receiving a broadcast. In addition, it will be time-consuming and labor-consuming to browse the correct service URL through the complicated Internet structure. Furthermore, for example, when obtaining a snore, the user is required to send a text message to a specific service number having a service code and a content identification string. The service code and identification string are difficult to remember. The complexity of accessing services results in high barriers and low service rates when users connect to the service. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide an improved method and system for delivering objects to users. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for delivering an object related to a broadcast media stream to a user terminal of a radio system. The method further comprises: broadcasting the media stream using a broadcasting system, linking the object to the media stream of the broadcasting system, identifying the object delivering the object from the broadcasting system to at least one user terminal, and displaying the synchronization with the media stream in the user terminal. Object identification, and when a user delivers an object according to the object identification request, a radio system is used to transmit a transaction signal with object identification from the user terminal to a database of at least one object, and a radio system is used to deliver the object identified by the object from the database to the transmission User terminal, machine requesting a signal. Another object of the present invention is to provide a media system related to a broadcasting system for broadcasting a media stream. The media system further includes: a radio system having at least one base station and at least one user terminal, the broadcast system having a connection with the radio system, and the broadcast system is used to identify at least one object to the broadcast of the broadcast media stream Timeline, and the broadcast system is used to deliver object identification to a user terminal; the user terminal is used to receive at least one object identification from the broadcast system and to display at least one object identification synchronized with the media stream, And the user terminal is used to transmit the transaction signal with the object identification to the database with at least one object through the shame line system when the user requests the delivery of the object based on the object identification, and the database is used to deliver the object through the radio system The identified object is sent to the user terminal which sends the request signal. Another object of the present invention is to provide a user terminal of a radio system. The user terminal is used to receive the 200425664 identification of objects from the broadcast system. The object is connected and synchronized with the broadcast media stream of the broadcast system. The object identification synchronized with the media stream displayed in the user terminal is displayed in the user ’s terminal. The object identification request transmits an object through a radio system to transmit a transaction signal with the object identification to a database having at least one object, and receives the object identified by the object delivered from the database via the radio system. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in terms of the scope of the attached patent application. The method and system of the invention have multiple benefits. The present invention can provide users with information about objects, while giving users the opportunity to request and receive objects. Since the user only needs to activate the object request based on the object identification displayed to the user, and does not need to remember or use the object identification code, the ordering process is simple and fast. The invention will be further described below with reference to the drawings and preferred embodiments. [Embodiment] First, the structure of a conventional radio system shown in FIG. 1 will be studied. Radio systems are based on standards such as UMTS (Universal Mobile Telephone System) or WCDMA (Broadband Code Division Multiple Access). The core network corresponds to a combined structure such as a GSM (Global System for Wireless Communication) and a GPRS (General Packaging Radio Service) system. The GSM network element is used to implement the circuit conversion connection, and the GPRS network element is used to implement the packaging conversion connection. However, some network components are shared by the two systems. The center 100 represents a wireless service conversion center (MSC) and a servo GPRS support node (SGSN), which can be used for circuit conversion and packaging conversion signal transmission in the radio system, respectively. Since the center 100 can control all traffic in the radio system, the center 100 can collect the accounting information of each user, and the accounting information is used to request payment and accounting. The core network may include a gateway unit 102, which is represented by a gateway wireless service switching center (GMSC) and a GPRS support node (GGSN). GMSC is used for the circuit conversion connection between the core network and the external network, such as Public Land Wireless Network (PLMN) or Public Switched Circuit Network (PSTN), etc., while GGSN is used for the core network and external networks such as the Internet. Packaging conversion connection between lines. The center 100 controls a radio access network (RAN) 104, which may be provided with at least one base station controller 106 for controlling at least one base station 108. The base station controller 106 is also referred to as a radio network controller, and the base station 108 may be referred to as a Node B. A user terminal, such as a mobile phone, communicates with at least one base station B using a radio interface. As an important component of this solution, the armpit 204 may be connected to the center 100, but may also be connected to the gateway 102 or some parts of the RAN 104. In a particular application, the server 112 may utilize a radio interface to communicate with the radio interface in the same manner as the user terminal 110. User terminals can communicate using the GPRS method in parallel channels. Use the GPRS connection setting to transmit packaging data with addresses and control data other than the actual data. Several connections can use the same transmit channel at the same time. A packaging conversion method is suitable for data transmission where the transmitted data is generated by directional signals. In this case, there is no need to set up a data link for the entire launch period, it only needs to be set at the time of launch packaging. This will significantly reduce costs and capacity when setting up and using the network. 9 200425664 The solution of the invention is outlined in Figure 2. A media system composed of the following components, which can be referred to as a video-on-line system in many uses: a broadcast transmission system 200, a content production tool 202, a server 204, a network 206 of a radio system, and at least one user Terminal 11. Broadcasting systems that broadcast to users are cable τν network, satellite τν network, radio frequency TV network, radio cable or terrestrial network, and / or any TV or radio network using digital transmission technology. Users of the broadcast system may differ from users of the radio system 206. The delivery system of the item provider is also included in this system, which can be used to deliver and purchase items. Broadcast transmission systems such as radio stations 200 will transmit media streams. The media stream is such as a radio or TV program. In addition to a broadcasting channel composed of a broadcasting system, the present invention also provides a parallel channel which utilizes a content production tool 202 and a radio system in the following manner. Under the control of the broadcast transmission system 2000, the content production tool 202 outputs a signal having information of a content item. The information is about the object identification of the media stream, the data about the music playing at that time, the program schedule, the DJ's message to the audience, etc. The signal may include the feature alone or a combination thereof. The item identification of delivered or purchased items is selected from a list of existing items & managed by the item provider. Item identification refers to delivery items that may have been purchased. When the radio system is used, the signal will enter a server 204 as a gateway to the radio system, and the server 204 feeds the signal to the radio system's network with the identification of the object related to the media stream. If the user terminal 110 has started to use the parallel channel, the base station of the network will transmit a signal of 10 200425664 to the user terminal 110 within the broadcast coverage area. The parameters required for delivery and purchase are included in the object identification transmitted to the user terminal 110. If the user terminal has a receiver for the RDS signal, the object identification can also be transmitted to the user terminal using RDS (Radio Data System) broadcast. Since the RDS data is encoded in the FM signal, the RDS signal can be applied to FM broadcasting. Objects and object recognition include text, images, images, recordings, games, logos, screen savers, ringtones, vibrations of user terminals, flashes, beeps, webpage / WAP links, and the above series or any combination. When the user terminal 110 is used to display the object identification to the user, the user receiving the parallel channel or RDS # has the opportunity to purchase the object. The object identification can be displayed to the user while a song related to the object is playing. When the user wishes to receive or purchase the item provided by the customer, the user can activate the "quote" or "purchase" button displayed on the screen of the user terminal 110 to make a delivery request. If the item is delivered through the radio system When the identification is transmitted to the user, the user does not need to receive or know the broadcast, and only needs to receive the object identification through the parallel channel. In this case, the user terminal does not need a broadcast receiver. Regardless of whether the object identification is transmitted through the radio system or broadcast. The method of transmission is relative to the object identification. The response to the object identification can be performed in the same way. The "action" or "deliver" button will generate a signal to make a request to purchase or deliver the object, and the signal with the object identification is from the user terminal. 110 is transmitted to the base station of the radio system 206. The radio system 206 uses the parameters attached to the object identification to transmit the signal to the object provider. If the object provider is an operator, the object can be stored in the object database. As part of the wireless system 206 of 11 200425664, the object provider can also be the management of the server 204 In this case, the object database 208 can be included. In addition, the object provider can be a broadcaster, so the object database 208 can also be part of the content production tool 202. The request for delivery or purchase of the signal can also be performed by the broadcaster system ( Content production tool 202), and the request can be used to produce and reach the top statistics of profit sharing between broadcasters and object providers. Figure 3 shows further details of the broadcast system and server. As shown in the figure, the following components may be included on the parallel channels of the media system: a broadcast transmission system 200, a content production tool 202, a server 204, a radio system 206, and at least one user terminal 110. The radio station's broadcast transmission system 200 A cutting-edge digital content management system is used to perform broadcasting, such as FM transmission, AM transmission, or digital radio or television transmission. The broadcasting system broadcasting system 200 has a timing information module 300, a dynamic content delivery module 302, and a user interface 304. The timing information of broadcasts transmitted simultaneously on the broadcast channel and the parallel channel uses the timing information module The group 300 communicates to the server 204. The timing information module 300 provides the start and end time of a specific program, and the timing information of the commercial break and the song start and end time, etc. The length of the advertisement and other similar bursts can be determined by, for example, The execution time displayed at the start time of the interruption is deducted. The dynamic content delivery module 302 can feed additional content items to the content structure tool 312 in the content production tool 202 and the content packaging machine 310, 12 200425664 to the server. Content Conveyor 322 in 204. The additional content information from the dynamic content delivery module 302 includes things such as an event that occurred during a broadcast, the name of a winner in a quiz, and so on. When additional content information is determined in a program, such as in a live broadcast, sports report, or broadcast radio, the additional content information is communicated to the content packaging machine 310 to dynamically create additional content items. In addition, the dynamic content delivery module 302 can receive interactive results from the interactive machine 324 through the feedback module 314 of the content production tool 202 as part of the broadcast, such as displaying the voting results on a TV as a video overlay. The feedback module 314 will process the interactive signal from the user and generate an appropriate display for display to a broadcaster or broadcast receiver. The broadcaster uses the user interface 304 to control and adjust the parallel channel timing of content items relative to the broadcast media stream. For example, signals in parallel channels can be intermittent and recovered. The control event is communicated with the interaction device 400 of the user device 110 through the synchronization machine 320 of the server 204, and the interaction device 400 will adjust the parallel channel timing. The broadcast inner valley transmission module 306 can transmit a broadcast to a broadcast receiver 350 such as, [radio receiver, TV group receiver, etc.]. The receiver is provided in the user device.

display content items on user terminals. The content production tool 202 is set in a radio or television station, and the content production tool 202 200425664 can be integrated with the broadcast transmission system 200 to form a broadcast system 2000. The content creation tool 202 is an automatic link or a person uses the content creation tool to link the object identification to the media stream in a manner similar to the way in which content items are linked to the media stream. The content structure tool 312 sets the timing to display the timing of each object identification or another content item on the user terminal in relation to the broadcast media stream timeline (for example, the content item is displayed to the user at 14:43:02 after the program starts) On the screen of the terminal), and according to the broadcast timeline of the media stream to define the identification of each object and the delivery of other content items. In addition, the content creation tool 202 is a content browsing tool that creates content items and is set in a parallel channel. The user browse structure can set the sender, the price of the object, etc. The response sent to the server 204 in response to the user interface is fed into the feedback module 314 of the content production tool 204. The content structure tool 312 sets a layout to display content items and other content objects, such as the size and position on the screen of the user terminal 110. Content packaging machine 310 # is used to make content packaging for delivery to the user terminal 110, including the content structure settings produced using the content structure tool 312 and the content items to be displayed, including text strings, image file objects, and animation 'video clips Wait. In addition, the content packaging module 310 with the information from the fixed information module 300 can set the availability of objects before, during, and after the broadcast of the media stream, and set an additional time period when the media objects are available. But not forwardable or any combination. Any intended component of the media stream can also be used to make objects that are linked to the media stream. In general, the content production tool 202 can be used by broadcasters to make viewing reports and manage the content stream displayed on the screen of the user terminal 110 to synchronize with 14 200425664 broadcast. In addition, the content production tool 202 allows broadcasters to manage interactive components, such as shipping and purchasing items, voting and quizzes. Server The server 204 provides the user with content items related to the broadcast media stream selected according to their existing parallel channels. The feeder 204 controls the flow and content items from the user terminal 110. It can ensure that the content is delivered to the user's terminal regularly, and interactive results can be collected and transmitted to the radio station. The server 204 controls the number of users. The server 204 will limit the number of users simultaneously using parallel channels as needed. The server 204 can also control the content applicable to different application platforms of each user terminal. The synchronization device 320 receives the start time and advertisement insertion information from the timing information module 300 or the content production tool 204 of the broadcast transmission system 200. In addition, the synchronization device 320 may perform sum synchronization operations to synchronize the internal time of the user terminal 110 with the broadcast system time reference value. The content delivery device 322 is used to deliver a signal with a content set generated by the content setter 31o. The signal is fed from the content delivery device 322 to the interactor 324 of the feeder 204, and the signal is transmitted to the user terminal 11 via the radio system 206. It can transmit user terminal specific variables with image objects to optimize the performance and screen size of each user terminal. A content package with object identification or other content items can correspond to the entire program and can be delivered before the program starts. On the other hand, the content may include a package of the two user terminal software modules in an appropriate format, such as the content package of java μ I d 1 et and a specific program. It is suitable for recording programs, where the content and content 15 200425664 The timeline is known in advance. In this case, in addition to the content package, dynamic content can also be delivered to take into account the content variation during broadcasting. Transmission of all or part of the content in advance will reduce the network traffic of the radio system 206 when the program is broadcast. Synchronized and timed assignments allow content to be presented on time. On the other hand, content can also be dynamically delivered in the form of content blocks, one of which corresponds to a program segment. This method is suitable for applications such as FM radio broadcasting, where the playlist depends on several songs to be played and commercials. Interactive device The interactive device 324 can forward delivery and purchase requests from the user terminal 110 to the database of the provider of the actual delivery request object ^ The interactive device 324 or other parts of the server 204 can also serve as a database and respond Request and deliver the requested item. In addition, the interactive device 324 of the server 204 can collect the interactive response from the user terminal 110 and provide it to the broadcasting transmitting system 200 and the broadcasting personnel for cooperation. The interactive device 324 can generate and store statistical data on the number of users and interactive activities. The fee counter 330 is connected to the radio system 206, and the meter 330 is used to manage the billing transactions related to the user's request for objects, and issue a requisition to the user terminal based on the billing transactions. The transaction is recorded to show the bill to users of the media system. The meter 330 and the interactive device 324 can be used alone or together as a transaction processing device for recording and processing transactions between each object and at least one user terminal. User terminal Figure 4 shows the user terminal 11 〇, which is composed of traditional components, including wireless modem, processor, memory, user interface, display 16 200425664, and so on. In addition, the user terminal 110 also includes a broadcast receiver 412 such as τν or a radio tuner, a video streaming device, and the like. The user terminal is usually a mobile or mobile phone. The user terminal 110 has specific software modules for making parallel channel experiences. This module consisting of blocks 400-410 can be implemented using an original operating system such as Symbian or a programming environment such as Java MIDp. Uchiya items such as object recognition and the like delivered from the interactive device 324 to the user terminal 110 are misstored in the local memory 402. The content structure is separate from the content objects and screen layout. The content structure refers to the layout, structure, and form of each slide, and the slide refers to the information displayed in the user terminal 110 at a specific time. The content objects stored in the content object module 4022 in the local memory 402 refer to characters and images, for example. Content items can be represented with samples that can include text and symbols. The content as background work can be stored in the local memory 402, or separated from it, so that the required information such as object recognition is often available to the content processor 404 and the renderer 406 to be dumped when needed. The profiler 406 provides users with visual and audio effects of the content item. , And stored information can also be stored in the content memory of the local memory 402, in case the dynamic content cannot be delivered to the user terminal on time to provide a display at 10:00. There are several ways to activate parallel channels. The user may choose to have the user terminal 110 receive and display parallel channel information. If the user terminal includes a receiver for a broadcast channel, the user may select an appropriate broadcast channel and the user terminal 110 will automatically start receiving and displaying parallel channels instead of manually. When the parallel channel software operation on the user terminal 110 is started, the user terminal 110 will transmit information about itself to the server 204, and the server 204 will notify the user terminal 110 about the broadcast media stream. Through the information about the user terminal 110, specific variables of the content can be transmitted, including the image object with optimized performance and the screen size of each user terminal 110. When the timing control module 408 is connected to the server 204, the timing control chess set 408 will perform a synchronous operation to synchronize the internal clock of the user terminal 110 with the time of the server 204. A simple synchronous operation based on calculating the round-trip delay in transmitting a request from the user terminal 110 to the server 204 and calculating the difference between the clock of the user terminal and the server clock can be used. Once the user terminal 110 has been synchronized and the start time of the program is known, the timeline reference of the broadcast media stream can be translated into the reference of the internal clock of the user terminal 110. Content items can be displayed to users in sync with the broadcast. The timing controller 408 will determine whether the program has started and where the current timeline is located. If the program is being executed, the timing controller 408 will automatically search for the correct content item for display on the user interface 41. When the software of the user terminal 110 is activated and the user terminal 110 has received the content item currently displayed, the content processor 400 will start executing. The content processor 404 reads the content structure definition from the content structure memory 4024 to determine the existing content to be displayed, and links the content items and related layouts to the renderer 406 for display on the user interface 10. Based on the content 18 200425664 structure definition, the content processor 404 will notify the timing controller 408 to generate a timing event to initiate progress in the parallel channel based on the content structure. When the timing event occurs, the content processor 404 is activated again to display the next content item. The processor 404 reads the structure definition in the content structure memory 4024 again, determines the existing content item and layout, and transmits it to the user interface 410 to be displayed. When a display content item such as object recognition has a user to interact with the widget on the selection screen or a text-to-text input gadget, the signal with the information of the action is communicated from the user interface 410 to the content processing器 404。 404. The content processor 404 analyzes the action and initiates a transaction defined by the content structure of the action. User activity will automatically initiate communication between the user terminal 110 and the server 204, and the user does not need to know a long list of service numbers, service agents, or identification strings. The signals of the user actions are communicated from the content processor 404 to the interactive device 400 of the user terminal, and then the signals are transmitted to the database 208 and possibly the interactive device 324 of the server 204 via the radio system 206. Next, the method of delivering items to the user terminal is explained using 5A and 5B (1). In the two figures, it is assumed that the object provider is a list of objects that can be accessed in the Chiang database and communicates to the broadcaster, with parameters that need to be delivered and / or purchased, including the contact number of the service provider, and the station specifies the order. Code, and unique object identification for each accessible object. According to FIG. 5A, the broadcasting unit 500 (broadcasting system 200, content production tool 204, and server 206) uses a radio system to transmit a signal 502 with an object identification through parallel channels at appropriate broadcast times to make the object available for delivery and buy. The object identification can also be broadcast to the user from the broadcast system 2000 as an RDS signal. Broadcasters use content creation tools to create a content package. In addition to the delivery and purchase parameters described above, the type of user interaction required to order (such as pressing a button), text strings, and immediately displayed to users, and the promotion will be defined. Timing validity (start time and end time). In addition, the server 204 may select a desired layout and version of the content object, such as a correct size version of a display circular image for a particular type of user terminal. The object identification information is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 11 according to the timing information from the radio system 2000 in synchronization with the radio broadcast. It also displays gadgets that allow users to initiate requests to deliver items. The gadget can be transmitted to the user terminal before the media stream starts, but the display of the gadget is synchronized with the broadcast. The gadget can also be transmitted and displayed to the user terminal in synchronization with the broadcast. The gadget may be displayed to the user at the beginning of a media stream, such as a particular song or show, associated with an object. When a user wants to buy an advertising promotion item, he can start a gadget to start the transaction of delivering the item. A specific module for making parallel channels experienced at the user terminal 110 will send a transaction signal 504 to the object provider's database 208. The user terminal 110 also transmits a terminal identification (such as MS I SDN = Mobile Subscriber ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) or SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) address) with object identification to the database 208. The user terminal 110 may also transmit a signal 506 about the transaction signal 504 to the broadcasting department 500 (to the server 206) so that the broadcasting industry can immediately monitor and maintain statistical data of the demand for the objects. This signal is transmitted to the broadcasting section 500 through a radio system. 20 200425664 In the object provider's database 208, the user terminal is identified from the received signal 504 such as an SMS (Short Message Service) message. In response to the request, the database will use the wireless & system to send a signal 508 to the user terminal through the appropriate delivery channels (SMS, WAp CD (Wireless Application Protocol Content Delivery), MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service)) Machine 11〇. When the user terminal 110 receives the signal 508 with the object, it will notify the user. The object can be stored in the memory of the user terminal and will be displayed to the user. Figure 5B shows another way to order items. Similar to FIG. 5A, the broadcasting unit 500 will use a radio system or a general broadcasting network as an RDS signal to transmit an object with an object identification at an appropriate time of broadcasting through a parallel channel, so that the object is available for delivery and purchase. And when the user wants to buy the promotional item, he will start the gadget to start the transaction of the delivery item. The specific module that made the parallel channel in the user terminal will send a transaction signal 510 to the broadcasting department 500. (Server 204). The server will record the request, add statistics, and forward it to the content production tool for monitoring purposes. The Broadcasting Department 500 (content production tool) transmits a site-specific order code and unique object identification A request signal 512 is sent to the object provider's database 208 defined by the object provider. The request can be a text string. The broadcaster 500 can transmit the request through the radio system. The broadcaster 500 also needs to transmit the terminal Identifies (such as MSISDN or SIp) to the server 204. The database 208 of the object provider will be identified from the receipt number such as SMS message, and will respond to the request through the appropriate delivery tube i 21 200425664 ( SMS, WAP COD, MMS) sends a signal 508 along with the ordered content to the user terminal. When the user terminal 110 receives a signal 508 with an object, the user will be notified. The object can Stored in the memory of the user terminal. When an object is transmitted to the user terminal, it can be identified by the terminal using its format or supporting applications (such as via MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) type positioning). Identifies what other potential uses can be provided. In other words, additional rights and restrictions can be attached to the object (such as the ability of the user to transfer objects to others will be restricted). Therefore, when a specific user purchases are transferred by the terminal In the case of specific objects', the objects include preferential rights and restrictions when using or copying the objects. Figure 6 shows a user terminal 110 whose screen displays an object identification. The name 600 indicates the currently available objects, and the small Appliance 602 is a quick key that can be activated in several ways. This display can be sensitive to touch. On the other hand, when pressing certain key 604, some keys 606 or 608 of the user terminal can be activated. The gadget sends a transaction signal requesting delivery of the item. Finally, Figure 7 shows the main steps of this method again. In step 700, The method begins. At step 702, the broadcast system is a broadcast media stream. At step 704, the object is a media stream linked to the broadcast system. At step 706 ', the object that delivers the object from the broadcast system is identified to at least one user terminal 110. In step 708, the user terminal will display the object identification in a synchronized manner with the media stream. In step 71, if at least one user requests delivery of the object based on the object identification ^, at least one user terminal passes through: 22 200425664 line The network of the electrical system transmits the transaction signal with the object identification to a database of at least one object. In step 712, the object is delivered from the database to at least one user terminal, and the request signal is transmitted through the network of the radio system. In step 714, the method terminates. The object provider is the owner of the relevant digital content, the distribution system that delivers the content to the user terminal, and the ability to present the end user's money to the end user. The delivery system of the object provider is responsible for receiving and handling the delivery request and delivering the actual content to the user terminal. The delivery system of the object provider can also activate the user's payment. Generally, this is done using the operator's payment system, while the network operator adds the cost to the user's monthly statement. The network operator has the dual status of delivering goods and asking for payment for delivering goods. In the user terminal, the media system provides accumulated user experience for users to start listening to broadcasts and receive broadcast-related information content. The operation of the media system is based on two channels, namely the broadcast channel and the parallel channel. The media system also provides video and interactive parallel channel functions, such as receiving and displaying content and reporting the user interface to the server. The present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiment of the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not intended to be limited to this embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the patent application. 23 200425664 [Schematic description] Figure 1 is a radio system; Figure 2 is a media system; Figure 3 is a block diagram of a broadcast system and a server; Figure 4 is a block diagram of a user terminal; Figure 5A is a signal in a media system; Figure 5B is a signal in a media system; Figure 6 is a display showing a user terminal with object recognition; and Figure 7 is a flowchart representing the method of the present invention.
