Description

A multimedia system that presents a personalized menu

This creation is about television or digital television. In particular, this creation is about multimedia systems that can present personalized menus.

Because of the development of Internet technology and the establishment of mobile communication facilities, people can now watch video programs, entertainment activities, or financial transactions at any time; for example, watching TV programs, movies, dramas, cartoons everywhere. Reading news, searching for information, conducting sports, karaoke, teaching activities, and even financial analysis or shopping, as well as transferring money, can be achieved through the Internet service website.

However, the services of each website are limited to a single specific function. For example, Internet TV websites only provide TV viewing services for TV programs. For movies and dramas, they must be viewed on another website. For example, online banking only provides financial transaction services. However, shopping websites only provide online shopping services. If a user wants to carry out a number of activities, they must search for a website that provides services through different web pages and interfaces. Not only does it search for web pages and the time and time between web pages is repeated, and each website has its own operating procedures and charging mechanisms. Or pay by credit or by credit card. Users must perform complex operating procedures according to the operating procedures and charging mechanisms of each website. This not only has the risk of financial transactions, but also causes great inconvenience to the user's accounting management. Users often do not understand the operating procedures. Deterred.

Therefore, a multimedia system that integrates functions and services has emerged. However, the menu options of the general multimedia system are complicated, and the user may have to spend extra spirit and time to search for the function or service to be used. Personalized menus can overcome this problem, allowing users to easily find and click on specific service options. However, in the prior art, the multimedia system requires the user to manually input the login information (for example, the account number and password), and then the user manually adds the specific service option to the personalized menu (for example, my favorite material). Clips, or simply can memorize the number of services that the user has used the most, which is inconvenient to manually operate, and cannot provide a personalized menu according to the detailed usage habits of one or more users.

Therefore, in order to make the operation more convenient, user-friendly and to provide a personalized menu that truly conforms to the habits of individual or group users, there is still a need for an improved multimedia system.

In view of the above, the purpose of this creation is to provide a multimedia system that can be presented with a personalized menu that can be easily and intelligently logged in and that can display real user or group user habits.

To achieve the above or other purposes, the present disclosure provides a multimedia system that can present a personalized menu that provides one or more users of a plurality of services, wherein each of the plurality of services includes one or more service options/items The multimedia system includes: an identification information detection module, which can communicate with an intermediation module, which is described later, for detecting information identifying one or more users and one of the number of persons; a server For recording and storing the usage habits of the user of the individual or group account after logging in to a person or group account according to the identification information, wherein the server can provide a personalized menu according to the usage habit; a display device is used The plurality of services and the personalized menu are displayed; an intermediary module is connected between the display device and the server, and is responsible for verifying by the server and converting the data of the corresponding service into a signal of the video screen; a remote control module for transmitting an instruction to the mediation module; and wherein the identification information is processed and transmitted through the mediation module To the server, the server authenticates and automatically identifies the identity and number of the one or more users by an identification method.

The identification information detecting module can be integrated with the display device, the mediation module or the remote control module.
