Noted in function 300, so that the message processing server 136 does not have to process its message message when receiving the message content sent by these users. Returning to step 6 5 2, if no inappropriate content is found in the message, or most of the content of the edit message does not contain inappropriate playback content, the edit message should then be passed through the message compiler 1 4 4 Compiling (step 6 6 1 ) 'The compilation process combines the user-related input tribute and compiles it into a standard format for preliminary playback, which also includes a preview function for the preliminary playback message. A feature in which the user must reconfirm whether to send the message (step 6 6 2). When the message compiler 14 4 receives the play confirmation command of the ready to play message, the message compiler 14 4 will store the message to be played back to the message stacker 146, and then follow the program for playing the message (step 6 8 0 ), pre

Page 21 1250434 V. Invention Description (18) The message to be played will be queued until it is played. The opposite is that if the user does not send a confirmation message for the pre-play, the interactive interface will return to the editing interface, allowing the user to Edit the message for editing or correction. At the same time as step 6 6 1 , the message compiler 14 4 will calculate the approximate time for the ready-to-play message to be played, and the time at which the ready-to-play message will be played (step 6 6 3 ), the approximate estimated time is calculated by The number of the pre-played messages in the message stacker 1 4 6 and the time of each of the ready-to-play messages are obtained. After a roughly estimated time, the message compiler 14 4 will play the scheduled play message through the network. The connection server 1 2 8 sends it to the multimedia content receiver 1 0 2 to notify the user (step 6 6 4). After receiving the broadcast time message of the preliminary play message, the network interface 1 1 4 transmits the message to the central processing unit 1 1 2 to load the browser program (step 6 6 6 ), and then passes the display driver 1 4 0 It is formatted into an image format for display on output device 104 (step 669). At this point, the user may be asked if more message messages are to be sent (step 6 6 8). If the user wishes to send a message again, the interactive interface will be updated by the message processor 1 2 2 and a new message will be generated. The interactive interface of the message, on the other hand, if the user does not wish to send more message messages, the message processing server will leave the interactive interface and disconnect from the multimedia content receiver 102, and the message ends. Service worker. The process of the process (step 510) (step 6 6 9). Please refer to Figure 4 f. Figure 4 f is a flow chart of the method of playing the message subroutine (step 6 80 0). First, the content server 1 3 2 of the multimedia content provider 100 will view

Invention Description (19) Whether the current broadcast message has reached the end of the play time (step 6 8 1), if the current broadcast message has reached the end of the play time, the content server 1 3 2 will then Check whether there is a message to be played in the message stacker 1 4 6 (step 6 8 2 ). If there is a message waiting to be played in the message stacker 146, the content server 1 3 2 will wait for the message. The first preliminary play message (step 6 8 6), and format the preliminary play message into a message display field (step 6 8 7), after formatting the message display field of the preliminary play message, the content server 1 3 2 will send the new message display field to the central office 1 0 8 via the network connection server 1 2 8 (step 6 8 8). After receiving the new message display field, the central office 1 0 8 replaces the current message display field in the new message display field, and then plays it to all connected multimedia along with other media content. The content receiver 1 0 2 is on (step 6 8 9). The message message during playback can be obtained and viewed in all the channels provided by the multimedia content provider 100. In addition, the user must determine that the message display field has been started to display the message message. . However, if there is no message to be played in the message stacker 146, the content server 133 will display π the message without the message π in the message display field (step 6 8 3 ), and then The formatted message display format is transmitted to the central office 1 〇 8 (step 6 8 4 ), and after receiving the inverted message display field, the central office 1 0 8 will have a new word with no π message message π. The display field updates the message field currently being played and then plays it along with other media content to all connected multimedia content receivers 1 0 2 (step 6 8 5), where the current screen needs to have a start The message display field. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not used.
