Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the field of wireless access to information on a wide area network such as the Internet, and more specifically to the field of wireless access of Internet data for the purpose of controlling and interacting with a television program and related interactive media.
- Another shortcoming of the available programming guide technology is the lack of a relationship between television programming and related programming and services found on the Internet.
- an online merchant may offer for sale a recording of the music hear during a music video broadcast on television.
- the music video viewer will not be aware of the recording sale offer, since there is no currently available method of getting that information to the user during the television broadcast.
- the present invention provides a method and system enabling singular control and unified co- transmission of both television programming and Internet content, providing access and interaction with Internet information which relates or adds to television programming.
- the method and system of the present invention provide a wireless communications device having an infrared transmitter or other television control means commonly found on television remote controls, the device being compatible with the WAP standard, the Palm Operating System ("OS"), Symbian OS, Windows CE OS or any other means of accessing information over the Internet using a wireless device.
- OS Palm Operating System
- Symbian OS Symbian OS
- Windows CE OS any other means of accessing information over the Internet using a wireless device.
- the user To control the television and initiate interactive viewing, the user first educates the wireless device by activating a connection to a programming information database on the Internet (unless such database content is already loaded onto the device by some other means).
- the viewer is directed by the device to enter identifying information, such as zip code, phone number, cable system-identifying information, and/or other information identifying the user's method of receiving television programming.
- identifying information such as zip code, phone number, cable system-identifying information, and/or other information identifying the user's method of receiving television programming.
- the viewers entered information is compared to a database which contains a feed code for the entered region and system designating the specific TV content available to the viewer.
- the feed code information is forwarded to the wireless device for future use.
- the viewer may use the wireless device to control the television, in addition to accessing the wireless network or content on the Internet.
- the user activates channel number 24 on his set top television controller or television tuner.
- the wireless device also transmits the user's selected station number and assigned feed code to the database, thereby uploading the user's present viewing activity.
- Internet content related to the viewing activity can be downloaded to the user's wireless device or set-top box, enabling online commerce, information access, and other capabilities which will be understood by those familiar with the Internet and the related art.
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating how the system and method of the present invention provides simultaneous control of television programming and Internet content
- FIG. 3 illustrates electronic commerce activity enabled by the method and system of the present invention.
- wireless telephone device 130 which may comprise any wireless device providing access to the Internet or other wide area network.
- Wireless device 130 also preferably includes circuitry for acting as a "universal" remote control, capable of adapting at least some rudimentary functions of a standard television remote control device.
- a special button or software-enabled television control element 131 is included on wireless device 130 , which will provide a number of functions to be discussed herein.
- wireless device 130 if the viewer activates television control element 131 , wireless device 130 automatically connects, preferably via the Internet (as shown) or any other wide area network using the WAP standard, to "WAPTV" database 150.
- the WAPTV database requests from the viewer some indication of location and the method or methods of distribution through which the user accesses television programming (e.g., cable, analog or digital satellite, broadcast). For example, upon receiving a vocal cue, the viewer might enter the local telephone area code or mailing zip code using a telephone key pad 132, along with a "1" to designate cable television. Alternatively, this data might be gathered automatically from the television and/or remote control. Upon receiving the viewer's information, the WAPTV database 150 looks up a "feed code" identifying the specific television programming information available to the viewer and forwards the feed code to memory in wireless device 130.
- television programming e.g., cable, analog or digital satellite, broadcast.
- the WAPTV database 150 looks up a "feed code" identifying the specific television programming information available to the viewer and forwards the feed code to memory in wireless device 130.
- FIG. 2 there is provided a block diagram illustrating the next step in the viewer's use of the method and system of the present invention.
- the user may desire to watch a selected television program on a television receiver 100 which may be connected to a cable or satellite system 110 through a set top box 105 or to a conventional terrestrial system through an antenna (not shown).
- the viewer enters the channel information (for example, "2", and "4" for channel 24, as shown in element 132) on wireless device 130, quickly followed by activating the television control element 131 so that the device knows the viewer does not desire to dial a telephone number or engage another device function.
- channel information for example, "2", and "4" for channel 24, as shown in element 132
- Entering "24" as described can preferably act to change the station, if device 130 is acting as a universal remote, or can simply result in the selected television program information being forwarded, along with the device's assigned feed code, across the Internet to WAPTV database 150.
- WAPTV database 150 If for example, a viewer in New York is watching or has selected to watch MTV, then the combination of the channel number and the feed code will designate in the WAPTV database that the viewer is watching MTVs east coast U.S. broadcast 120.
- the WAPTV database server looks up the uniform resource locator ("URL") or other wide area network location-designating information that most closely relates to the selected programming, or in a preferred electronic-commerce focuses embodiment of the present invention, a site designated by MTV management as a licensed source for such related information.
- URL uniform resource locator
- Wireless device 130 receives display information from the linked e-commerce site server 160 (via WAPTV database server 150) and displays same to the user (e.g., "Buy the CD for $19.90” and/or "Buy the DVD of the movie for $29.90").
- the viewer uses a cursor movement device or, as shown, up and down arrows 134, to select from a variety of purchasing choices.
- "YES" button 135 may be optionally provided to tie the viewer into the YES network, proprietary to the assignee of the present invention. If YES button 135 is activated, YES transaction log database 170 is used to access viewer payment information and confirm retailer commission payment to the television programming provider.
- the present invention therefor provides a novel method for providing related Internet content and television programming through a wireless device.
- the device used to access Internet information need not be a wireless device - it could instead be any Internet access device providing the ability to forward television feed code and current channel information, such as a notebook computer, and preferably also including television control means, such as an infrared transmitter found on most currently available notebook computers.
- the corresponding structures, materials, acts and equivalents of all means or step plus function elements in the claims are intended to include any structure, material or acts for performing the functions in combination with other elements as described herein.
