Invention description (Xi) ^ One &quot;~1^]Shimen private brain 20 first Read the unrestricted program in the <specific time interval> and delete the expired program 2 by comparing today's date 20〇1/6/25 with the <expiration date> column, and then according to today's week- The program 5 is deleted in comparison with the &lt;specified week&apos; column, and finally the playlist is output in accordance with each program <play order> column (Fig. 4). Among them, program 2 (beverage advertisement) may be deleted due to the expiration of the advertisement, and program 5 (Na Ying) may be replaced by commercial considerations for the separate release of program 1 (Li Xinjie single). The store computer 20 can further arrange a program with a time interval (Time Interval) into a time-sharing list for the &lt;specific time interval&gt; column, and the other two playing conditions are considered in the same way as in the previous paragraph. . The store computer 20 can arrange the program 1·etc. into the 0600~09 00 time-of-day list (figure 5) to strongly promote specific products for the breakfast peak period; or arrange the program n to 21〇〇~23(10) A time-sharing list (Figure 6) is used to play music channels during the night hours. The playlist includes its time-sharing list, and the store computer 2 can store it in the storage device 2 2 to speed up the access during the future execution.

Insert the show. For the same reason, if you want to stop broadcasting a certain program urgently, for example, if there is a negative public opinion on a certain milk product, you can also insert a program B by the headquarter computer in the schedule control file of Figure 3, which defines the order of playback and should be given. The C 1〇〇2 fresh milk advertisement was stopped, and the headquarters computer 1 was immediately distributed to the store computer 20, and the store computer 20 received the scheduled control file and was judged to have the playback sequence Β^ΒΒ's emergency stop broadcast section (4). Immediately update the playlist or the time-sharing list to stop the C1 〇〇2 fresh milk advertisement. However, if the timing is not urgent, the headquarters computer 1 can also modify the expiration date of the program 4 to make it earlier than today, prompting the store computer 20 to delete it when it is broadcasted every other day. FIG. 7 shows another preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is substantially the same as the above-mentioned Huai and the above-mentioned example of the master device 2 1, but in the headquarters computer, the end is added - the program content database 13 is used Store individual songs, advertisements, and temple multimedia video and audio program materials, so you can use the private network 9 with a large bandwidth to directly transmit various program materials to the store computer 2 (), for the playback mechanism 2 3 instant use, More able to fight for timeliness. - In summary, the invention is a breakthrough in the "gateway broadcast program control system and its methods", regardless of its purpose, means and efficacy.
