Also, "Even if the service obtained by the service information acquisition device is J, it is fine. In this case, it is possible to set different points for each service, but all points may be the same. So when the service is plural, it is necessary to set it up so that the plural service is acceptable from the user: that one is not the best. In the statistics system of six points, it also includes: telling the device ^, as long as the accumulated value of the device is set in advance, the accumulated value may be set in plural. I really want you ... In this point statistics system, if you set the points that can get preferential treatment as "pre-set value", use I to inform the device that the way you have done has saved its preferential treatment. Points given. If the value of the "pre-emptive right" is rounded to a good number (for example, 100,), then the user can know that only those numbers have been stored. 2 Also, it can be made as follows. That is, each time the points are increased, the accumulated value of the points at that time is displayed on the image display device. For example, if the smallest unit of points is! , It is equivalent to setting i, 2, 3, ... to set the pre-Γ 预 ίί value. " In this way, if the user sees the video display device, he can know the value of the accumulated points.

In this system, the system also includes advertising to stop the device and to stop the device for the root extension, 1 this wide 0 of 1τ ': very chaotic The user's finger does not come to stop the sum of the stoppers to stop the display of ads. That is: the ad is displayed or not displayed. In particular, the use of f's forbearance makes it possible, therefore, to give guidance information and stop it if it is based on the system described above. Passage effect is caused by program rebirth. In the above-mentioned point statistics system, part of it is paid broadcast, including: payment detection device, whether to pay the fee for paid broadcast; and service restriction device, measured by nano detection device. Circumstances 2 indicating whether the user has not yet paid the fee: Accept the services provided by the service-providing device. / If the point statistics system is a system where at least a part of the program is broadcast. Use the payment detection device to detect the use: fee Pay the fee for the paid broadcast. In the measurement, "users still = no, 3, 3 fees"

V. Description of the invention (9) On the second occasion, 'the service provision of the service restriction device is provided. Users cannot accept withdrawals based on the service, user accounts that have not yet paid & > cannot use the service (for example, the following is such as' Even if this system is used, the video recording reservation, that is, the communication sales, the program's Searching and saving, therefore, if the punishment based on the stomach of the system is not paid. The payment that can prevent the fee-based broadcasting can be prevented. In the above-mentioned point system, part of the fee-based broadcasting includes: 中 f 中If at least one of the broadcasted programs is paid for the fj detection device for paid broadcasts, 'can detect users who have paid the detection device: === set, when borrowing * can not choose the occasion where the fee is not paid according to the program guide information, The statistics system is based on the above-mentioned two detection devices. [This is used to measure "users are still du: two because the program selection restriction device is unable to select the basis section :: mesh ', so the unpaid broadcast fee can be prevented. Also , = Select All: Programs' but it is best not to select only their paid programs .: Ho, you can first make the system more effective by not using electronic program guides without eyesight. Of In the points statistics system, at least one part of the broadcast program is paid broadcast. It includes: payment detection device 'can detect whether the former pays the fee for the paid broadcast; and preferential treatment restrictions, in the dream payment detection device, and the user When you do not pay the fee, you ^ = unacceptable. Defective horse 2013-3642-P.ptd Page 12 502529 V. Description of the invention (ίο) Tian = In this system, it is measured by the payment detection device. When receiving preferential treatment, ^, the preferential restriction device becomes unreachable

Here, you can consider giving preferential treatment as a method B that can't accept preferential treatment. The points are necessary, even if they are not stored. Therefore, even if u _ is not paid according to the above system. The system can also prevent the cost of paid broadcasts from being set in the above-mentioned point statistics system, as long as the cost of paid broadcasts is two; two = the information paid for the purpose of the information transmission is sent to the limit: η: show The hunting of paid fees shall be checked by receiving the paid information. The device is * here the so-called paid information is the purpose of displaying the paid fee from the user ^ u ^ Once the fee for paid broadcasting is paid, the paid information sending device ^ to the restricted device (that is, the service restricted device, Program selection restrictions and corresponding restrictions in preferential treatment devices). The paid objects that can be used as fees can include iL that can broadcast paid programs. Where payment is made from the books of a financial institution such as a bank, post office, etc. ', the financial institution may also be the subject of payment of fees. As a method to send the paid information to the restricted device, it is based on the following: the system is structured 'in the case of a receiving terminal held by its user, and when the Langmu chooses a restricted device, Out to send the message to the receiving terminal using the communication link. Moreover, as described later on the Internet

2013-3642-P.ptd Page 13 502529 5. In the description of the invention (11), the service can be provided to the user from the service providing device. When sending the paid information to the service restriction device that can restrict the service, This can include sending the paid information from the broadcasting bureau to the service providing device. It is also possible to consider magnetic cards and 1C cards (hereinafter referred to as cards) to record the paid information, and send the cards to the user by mail or the like (also referred to as messaging in this case). As long as the user inserts the card into the receiving terminal, the payment device set on the receiving terminal is to detect "the user has paid the fee", and can also choose the service provision and program selection. In the above-mentioned point statistics system, the broadcast program is set in advance with points that are respectively set to 0 or more, and the service providing device changes the program information displayed on the program guide display device as a service to fI. Zhonglai mention: ί: The choice of '' and the point accumulation device is the selection of the installed programs provided by the service, and accumulates the aforementioned points set for each program. If the points statistics system is at the point broadcast t number. Therefore, as long as the broadcast program is selected from the visible information, the number of programs to be transmitted is set to 0 points in advance, and the sections displayed on the program guide display device can accumulate the selection of the points set for each program. F = f as the point statistics System, each time stored in the program guide information: points. Also, ‘Even if you want to set points for each program, you can make all programs different from each other. (Contains 0 points). The program of β 2 is set to the same points (in this case, it is not i). Second: On this occasion, the service that accepts the so-called "program selection" is made available regardless of the selected program. _ fixed point =

Page 14 502529 V. Description of the invention (12) Furthermore, in the above-mentioned points statistics system, the points set in the broadcast program in advance are exempted from the guide and the number of devices is not set, in order to correspond to the corresponding program. Leading dots and bigger dots are like display devices. Guidance to Besson and output to Yingzhi. The points statistics system is preset in the broadcast, and points greater than 0 will be outputted to the image display device for symptom and symptom. Ma is also the point statistics system. For the number of points, you can see the program guide information on the mountain—w to the AA Fan, Jin output video display device to know. Also, for the set The number of points is 0. The program that Xia Shuzhe ca n’t get points) is also 丨 disaster avoidance field 1 "Λ r J does not show points, but displays" ο points "0" or "zero". If the program is selected based on the points, it can be very different. The points in the above items are changed according to the setting. If they are gathered in the place where the points are counted as the broadcast program, it is set to Higher. "Setting" 'is good even for video display. If you install a statistical system for other displays, you can easily understand the points earned by users on the electronic program guide. In the points statistics system, the more the number of persons who are located in the broadcasting section where the device shown in the broadcasting program is located, the higher the number of points. In the system, it is set to the number of points that the device is set + LU is removed to Γ Μ In the field where more people gather, this is used as a device to send the show, that is, the device that is the only time the program is cited. it is good. When the device is displayed whether the device is installed in a crowded device, use the device side as the device, and apply it on the side where the points are set.

… 029… 029 V. Description of the invention (13) The points given to the points, the airport is "many people gather to see that their devices are" many people "and less", and the lowering points can be returned if the basis is based on the occasion. Yes, the human source is cast as such to obtain points for each program and points for the program. Furthermore, as a service, if the product is purchased based on the sale, then as a service, if the point is feasible, the advertising message refers to the waiting room where the TV station and the station guide information are posted. , "". And the images come to mention South points. The number of points is more, and the point of aggregation is not the same. Only the above points can be obtained and the system can be saved, and the above points can be saved. The distribution of the statistical system can be saved. The images of the broadcasted CM's advertisements, etc., are definitely better. For example, the waiting room of a waiting station in a hospital, and the ranks can be automatically judged to what extent the number of people can be detected by installing an image display device in the device. Conversely, it can also be automatically judged as a "manpower system." , The channel used by the crowd of people where the 〇 is located is fixed, and the electricity of its installation is rare. In such a place, if it is counted in advance: and as the program changes-one by one to the original for display In the statistics system selected by its channel, the service providing device is sold by news. Users use the system to count the number of newsletters each time. In the statistics system, the service providing device is the distribution of news. It is a service provider The device is used as a service, and here are advertising messages (hereinafter, referred to as CM) images, news advertisements, hanging ads in the car,. The CM system that is distributed is best displayed on the program display device (news ads and in the car) Hanging wide

The second field 〇 Although it is made to be a video signal and displayed on the video display :) 'For example, when the distribution of news advertisements is used as a service', you can consider using the input number to match with FAX. News. In addition, in the case of an image display device, if a speaker or the like is attached to the image display device, it can simultaneously output sound (and / or music image •, represented by "sound") in conjunction with the CM image, or distribution In cm, the sound broadcasted by the radio can be output from the speaker. I said that according to this system, because every time you see C M (or listen), you can evoke the preferential treatment that is given to you by using the service, which is the right to listen to the merchandise purchase rights, the Internet charging side conversation, and of course At least one of the free coupons (including PHS). The free use right of the Internet charging side can also be constructed in the system. For example, in the case of cash, it is remitted. Moreover, if it can be used as a service right, it can also be given to the system. In this regard, it is considered that it can become a correspondent and that it can be better from such preferential treatment. In this way, it is also very good to construct the preferential treatment that is contained in the listed preferential treatment. Points are saved after receiving CM's distribution for the second time, the user's attention. Places where the points reach a predetermined value, product coupons, free use rights for paid programs, telephone (mobile power, discount coupons, cash, and air, free audiovisual rights for paid programs, Internet, telephone The free use right and cash should be said to be “privileged device.” Consider the provision of newsletter sales from the account designated by the user. The purchase of goods is, for example, as long as a predetermined amount of scallops has been stored and used is equivalent to this amount. Select the user's favorite preferences and use the service. Also, if one type is used, it goes without saying that this can be given.

502529

-However, in the service, although one-way communication is implemented from the broadcast side to the user side (service information acquisition device), there are many places that need to be implemented by two-way communication. In addition, the accumulation of points may be performed by a receiving terminal on the user side, but how much the accumulation result needs to be notified to the favored person. # ^ In this case, when it is necessary to send a message to the side broadcasted from the user side and the service providing device and the preferential side, as long as the communication connection is disordered, I am afraid that the content of the message cannot be transmitted to the receiver. side. ~ In order to solve this problem, in the above-mentioned point counting system, it is better that the service designation device is to give at least a part of the instructions from the user when the communication connection from the service designation device to the service providing device is available. Send a message to the service provider. In such a point counting system, the service designation device is at least part of the instructions from the user. When the communication connection is available (such as' late night or morning), the service designation device is executed from the service designation device to the service provision. Device. As a result, the content can be transmitted from the service specifying device to the service providing device. In the case where it is configured as a service information obtaining device, since at least a part of the service providing device is on the user side, it is difficult to consider that the connection (, and wiring) from the service specifying device to the service providing device will be confusing. Therefore, regarding the service designation device, it is possible to transmit the content service providing device at any time. " Further, in the above-mentioned point statistics system, the service information obtaining device receives at least information from outside σ 卩: service information for the service of the recorded program;

^ Select the program's electronic program guide; and include the start time, end time, and broadcast frequency of the program. The device is designated by selecting the service to be displayed on the electronic section t; and the service providing device. The device 'as the service and the designated program's recording is the object of the recording, then the wired device is the recording device of the device, based on the start time, end time, and broadcast channel of the receiving department. The point counting system can store points by using electronic and video recording. Therefore, the service is received from the outside to: the electronic program guide of the service program for the service of the recorded program; and the content included in the start time, the end time, and the broadcast channel of the electronic festival, and the service providing device is selected to display on the Now you can accept the designation of the service of recording programs. Therefore, the service providing device is to specify recording as a service through the service, and the user only needs to input as to execute the recording reservation on the recording device connected to the wired or wireless device. The recording reservation is based on the start time, end time, and broadcast of the program received. If according to the points counting system, points are stored each time a recording reservation is performed. In addition, the receiving department (service information acquisition device) receives the electronic time of the program included in the program guide at the time of completion of the program. The program guides the electronic program guide of the news department, and the service is acceptable. The service means that the user enters and receives the service corresponding to the recording reservation of the festival. The device to guide the execution of the festival is to specify the program of the recording target of the program for the festival device guided by the receiving department of each program selected, and execute it on the corresponding transmission channel received by the designated service department. . The electronic program guide system can also replace the broadcast time of electronic festival programs.

2013-3642-P.ptd Page 19 502529 V. Description of the invention (17) Moreover, different points can be obtained according to the recorded programs. At the time of the person, it is also possible to set a program with a number of points obtained during recording of 0, which means that σ makes the program that does not get points recorded. Furthermore, in the above-mentioned point statistics system, the image display device is provided on the display device of the wireless telephone device, and the service information is provided through the antenna provided by the wireless telephone device from the outside to receive at least the services of the movie program. Service information, electronic programs with selectable programs, and the start time, end time, and receiving section of each program included in the electronic program guide, and the service designation device is provided on the helmet telephone device 'with numbers, Symbol, etc., and the service providing device is only required to use the key as a service to input the recording of the program, the input of the program of the recording object, and the phone number, and then the video specified by the phone number The device executes a recording reservation based on the start program corresponding to the program, the end time, and the broadcast frequency received by the receiving section. For example, the point counting system can be executed from a wireless telephone device such as a mobile phone, PHS (Personal Handyphone System), or a built-in PDA (PerSonal Digital Asistant). The recording of the program allows users to earn points. That is, in this system, the image display device is constituted by a display device provided in such a wireless telephone device, and the service information acquisition device receives at least from the outside through the antenna provided with the wireless telephone device: services for recording programs Service information; $ the electronic guide to select the program! Bow 1 guide; and the start time of each program included in the electronic program guide, the 7G time, and the receiving department of the receiving department of the broadcast channel,

502529 V. Description of the invention (18) Therefore, the service designation device is provided on the radiotelephone device and is formed by adding keys such as numbers and symbols. The service providing device is the key of the radiotelephone device, as long as one input is used as The recording of the program of the service refers to the input of the program of the recording target and the telephone number, and it is constituted as a recording device specified by the telephone number to execute the recording reservation.

Although the necessary information can be stored in the program search server 1 4 in the program search, it can also be sent from a communication satellite. In this case, although it is foreseeable that the receiving terminal 8 spends time in order to receive the information, on the other hand, it becomes a search operation in the receiving terminal 8 because there is no need to do a poor job with the program search server 14 Communication is sufficient, so search can be completed instantly. In this case, the point accumulation is that when the search is performed, the intention is sent to the point management server 18, and the points corresponding to the search service can also be accumulated. In addition, as long as two designated search services are available, they can also be sent to the broadcasting station 20 through the point management server 丨 8 and the program search server 14, or they can be sent to the receiving terminal 8 from a communication satellite. . When the service is selected from the service information block 60, although f 'is indicated by the highlight 62, it can also be specified by changing the color of the name of the service name. As services, although there are four types of questionnaires, advertising, shopping, and search services, other services can be provided, and points can be accumulated even for them. In addition, ‘Preferential Treatment’ can also be used as a person other than the right to purchase goods. For example, you can consider product vouchers, free viewing rights for paid programs, free use rights on the Internet charging side, free use rights for telephones, discount coupons, cash, and airline coupons.
