一种在电子节目菜单上展示广告的方法和系统 技术领域
本文涉及在电子节目菜单上展示广告的技术领域,尤其涉及的是一种在电子节目菜单上展示广告的方法和系统。
背景技术
近年来,随着互联网技术的不断发展,IPTV(Internet Protocol Television,网络协议电视)服务作为一种新兴的服务提供方式得到了快速发展。IPTV是通过互联网协议向家庭用户提供包括数字电视在内的多种交互式数字媒体服务的崭新技术。
其中,EPG(Electronic Program Guide,电子节目菜单)是IPTV系统的重要组成部分。通过机顶盒客户端上面的电子节目单列表,可以查看所有频道的已观看、正观看和即将观看的节目内容。
然而,一个IPTV系统中频道和节目数量是很庞大的,如果频道列表中有新增的频道,而用户通过翻阅每个频道的节目单内容去发现新频道,显然很耗时,而且也不容易实现。类似地,用户通过查找所有的vod(Video On Demand,视频点播)栏目下的点播内容去发现最新的vod节目,这样的方式也是缺乏易用性的。
因此,如何使IPTV用户能够方便地看到IPTV服务商所提供的最新最热的频道资讯、点播内容以及应用服务信息,是需要解决的问题。

应用示例
下面结合附图3对在电子节目菜单上展示广告的具体实施方式进行描述说明,具体包括以下步骤:
步骤1:在IPTV系统中增加上传广告信息的web页面,供IPTV服务商更新广告信息。需要上传的广告信息可以是广告图片(固定像素大小为1280*50)和广告属性;
其中,广告属性的作用在于:打开广告时需要根据此属性中的类型参数跳转到不同的页面,比如,类型参数用0-9的数字代表,其中:0表示跳转到 直播频道;1表示打开一个直播频道的节目详情介绍;2表示打开vod栏目;3表示打开vod栏目详情介绍;4表示打开一个应用程序(比如,youtube程序);
其中,广告个数可以为多个。
步骤2:IPTV服务商使用上面的web页面将广告信息更新到数据库DB服务器。
步骤3:DB服务器将广告信息按照同步机制同步到电子节目菜单EPG服务器。
步骤4:机顶盒STB终端的定时同步模块同步频道信息以及广告信息到本地缓存。
步骤5:STB终端同步成功之后,根据开机获取的模板配置信息组装新的全频道列表。
其中,模板配置信息中定义了在频道列表中插入广告物料的位置信息;比如,在频道100与频道101之间插入一个广告图片。
步骤6:当用户打开电子节目菜单页面时,用户会看到插入了广告物料的频道列表。
其中,广告物料没有频道编号,是一张可以落焦点的图片,展示的图片即为IPTV服务商上传的广告图片。而其他频道则有频道号,频道名称,节目单等信息。
附图4是没有插入广告的全频道列表与插入广告后的全频道列表的对比示意图。
步骤7:用户在电子节目单上可以选择观看100频道或打开节目详情。
步骤8:用户在电子节目单上可以选中100频道下面的广告物料(将焦点移动到广告图片上),点击该广告图片后(比如,按下机顶盒遥控器“确定”键),机顶盒根据广告属性跳转至不同的页面。
比如,如广告属性为0,则表示可以跳转到一个直播频道,比如一个最新上线的频道或者推荐频道;如广告属性为1,则表示打开一个直播节目详情,比如某一节目最新一期的节目介绍;如广告属性为2,则表示打开一个 vod栏目页面;如广告属性为3,则表示打开一个vod详情,比如打开一个最新上映的电影详情,后续可以购买、预览和观看;如广告属性为4,则表示跳转到youtube应用程序,后续用户可以登录youtube查看其他用户分享的视频。
可选地,广告数目、广告属性定义均可以根据不同的IPTV服务商定制。在步骤5中,模板配置信息中定义的广告位置信息与服务商上传的广告信息保持一致(比如,广告插入位置个数和广告个数保持一致)。
上述实施例提供的一种在电子节目菜单上展示广告的方法和系统,通过机顶盒从电子节目菜单服务器处获取广告数据并进行解析,将广告物料组装到电子节目菜单中进行展示,在用户点击广告后根据广告属性跳转并执行不同的业务处理,能够使机顶盒用户通过电子节目菜单上显示的广告方便地获取IPTV服务商最新推介的频道资讯、点播内容和应用服务信息。
本发明实施例公开了一种计算机程序,包括程序指令,当该程序指令被机顶盒执行时,使得该机顶盒可执行上述任意的在电子节目菜单上展示广告的方法。
本发明实施例还公开了一种载有所述计算机程序的载体。
本领域普通技术人员可以理解上述方法中的全部或部分步骤可通过程序来指令相关硬件完成,所述程序可以存储于计算机可读存储介质中,如只读存储器、磁盘或光盘等。可选地,上述实施例的全部或部分步骤也可以使用一个或多个集成电路来实现,相应地,上述实施例中的各模块/单元可以采用硬件的形式实现,也可以采用软件功能模块的形式实现。本发明不限制于任何特定形式的硬件和软件的结合。
需要说明的是,本发明还可有其他多种实施例,在不背离本发明精神及其实质的情况下,熟悉本领域的技术人员可根据本发明作出各种相应的改变和变形,但这些相应的改变和变形都应属于本发明所附的权利要求的保护范围。
工业实用性
