Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a method is known from Rundffunkchnik Mitteilungen, Issue 1, 1978 "System for editing and fading in subtitles according to the English Teletext Standard".
  • the object of the invention is to enable the user to order different products as easily as possible in a method of the type mentioned at the outset.
  • the invention is based on the consideration of giving the television or radio subscriber the possibility, at the push of a button, of calling up clear text information in the visual or acoustic presentation of products or services, which information is made visible to him by fading into the television picture or playback on a display on the receiver becomes.
  • the plain text information is one or more fields in which the user can enter additional information, such as Size and color, controlled by the receiving device.
  • the participant only needs to press a special button on his receiver or his remote control once more, whereupon the ordering process is triggered automatically.
  • Fig. La is a timing diagram for the chronological sequence of individual
  • Fig. Lb shows a representation of those transmitted in the additional information
  • Fig. Ic is a schematic representation of the selection process
  • 2 shows a schematic view of a page reproduced on a television screen with selection information and a remote control with a 'YES' and a 'Next' button
  • Fig. 3 is a block diagram of a receiver-side device according to the
  • the information necessary for an automatic selection of transmitted pages is transmitted as additional information correlated in time with the television program on teletext pages in a manner similar to subtitles under certain page numbers which are known to the receiving device.
  • the additional information A I and for the spot S2 the additional information A2 are transmitted with the television signal for the spot S 1;
  • FIG. 1b shows possible contents of the additional information A 1, A2 and B from FIG.
  • the additional information A I from Spot S 1 contains plain text information "To order the dress, please specify your size:" and an input field "" * ".
  • the associated plain text information "for ordering the dress " is shown in the running program (FIG. Lb ).
  • the plain text information shows an example of an additional input field for entering the clothing size.
  • a movable marker is automatically positioned by the decoder on the first input option.
  • the page also contains information about the position, length and, if applicable, value range of the Field, the associated product number and the telephone number of the provider. If, on the other hand, the user presses the 'YES' button a short time later during the spot S2, the plain text information "for ordering the jeans " assigned to the spot S2 and the two input fields for "W” and "L” are displayed.
  • the input is automatically checked if the corresponding information about the value range of the field in question is available in the additional information. For example, in order to identify the available dress sizes, the range of values for the dress offered can be '36, 38, 40, 42 '. If the user's input is within the value range and the user presses the 'YES' button on their remote control again, the ordering process is triggered automatically and the concealed product number with the entered clothing size and a permanently stored, user-specific device number for identifying the User transmitted to the provider selected under the hidden telephone number (e.g. a credit card organization).
  • the hidden telephone number e.g. a credit card organization

  • solutions for competitions can also be entered in a 'solution form' and sent directly for evaluation.
  • the input fields can be used for demoscopic surveys or voting of radio and television participants. For this purpose, selection information with associated input fields, a selection identification and a telephone number are transmitted in the individual pages.
  • FIG. 2 shows an example of an anonymous survey in which, for example, the most popular politician is asked.
  • the value range for these input fields can be specified with 'A-Z'.
  • a selection process is similar to an order process; there is only no transmission of the device number to identify the user.
  • FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a receiving device according to the invention installed in a television set.
  • the received television signal with the page information and the (subtitle) additional information is fed to a teletext decoder 1, which detects those pages from the incoming page information that are requested by a controller 2. Furthermore, the teletext decoder 1 examines the television signal for additional information, for example as subtitles in line correlation to the program content of the TV signal are transmitted.
  • error-free additional information is determined by the teletext decoder 1, it is temporarily stored in a RAM memory 3, a message to the controller 2 and a corresponding display for the user, for example by corresponding signaling on the front of the television set or by a logogram generated by the teletext decoder and displayed as an RGB signal on the screen together with the selected program in a corner of the screen.
  • a corresponding control signal "YES” is transmitted to the controller 2.
  • the controller then causes the teletext decoder 1 to read out the last cached additional information from the RAM memory 3 and the plain text and possibly graphic information contained in the additional information with the input field (s) (FIG. 1b) on the screen the television set or a display in a suitable manner.
  • the additional information contains hidden information about the number of input fields with their assigned positions, lengths and, if applicable, value ranges, a movable marking being automatically set to the first position of the first input field.
  • the controller 2 requests the information contained in the additional information, evaluates it and issues appropriate commands for positioning the marking on the teletext decoder 1.
  • the user now has the option of gradually assigning the individual positions to the input fields, for example by pressing the corresponding number key on his remote control, and selecting the next position of an input field or the following input field by pressing a 'Next' key.
  • the individual key presses are processed by the controller 2, if necessary compared with the permitted value range and forwarded to the teletext decoder, which makes the corresponding entries and markings.
  • the telecommunications number is transferred from the additional information temporarily stored in RAM 3 to a modem 4 and a dialing process is triggered.
  • a telecommunication or telephone line leads from the modem 4 from the receiving device according to the invention to the telephone connection of the user.
  • the successful establishment of the connection is signaled by the modem 4 to the controller 2, which in turn sends a corresponding message to the teletext decoder 1 for display on the screen.
  • a corresponding display on an associated LED display or on the television with an integrated receiving device is conceivable.
  • a digital radio program signal is particularly suitable for this because of the large transmission capacity.
  • an analog radio program signal (FM and AM signal) provided with an RDS (radio data system) signal is also suitable, since the RDS signal still has unassigned identifiers which are used for the additional information can be used.
