  • Digital and interactive TV systems provide a significant amount of TV channels and programs leading to the general outcome that conventional methods for reaching a program content corresponding to the personal viewing preferences of a user from among a plurality of alternatives may become inefficient to the extent it is unperformable in a time-saving manner. It is well-known that due to the increase of satellite and cable broadcasts, more than 500 TV channels are available to users in their homes. This makes it difficult for the users to find programs that are suited to their tastes. For example, a user might want to watch all movies starring a certain actor, or follow all programs relating to a certain football team.
  • WO2009145507 which relates to a method for outputting an EPG and a broadcasting receiver employing the method are disclosed. More particularly, a method for outputting an EPG and a broadcasting receiver employing the method are disclosed, in which the EPG output from the broadcasting receiver includes RSS information to allow a user to easily identify the RSS information from the EPG.
  • the present invention provides a system and a method by which an image display device is operated such that users are automatically offered an alternative program content.
  • the present invention therefore solves the technical problem of accelerating processing of the significant amount of information for a user, by which an automatically generated alternative program list is offerable.
  • the present invention therefore provides a system and method by which an image display device is operable to automatically offer alternative program contents as provided by the characterizing features defined in Claim 1 and subsequent Clams.
  • Primary object of the present invention is to provide a system and method by which an image display device automatically proposes a certain number of alternative program contents.
  • the present invention proposes an image display device which automatically monitors broadcast programs and offers on a real-time basis an automatic list of alternative programs. This is accomplished by way of obtaining information tags via the electronic program guide.
  • the main purpose of the invention is to help the user find the content they are looking for and help determine their TV watching schedule.
  • a user wants to visit Scotland. As a result, they might want to find channels producing content relating to Scotland from among the available channels.
  • the user determines the keywords to be Scotland, Highlands, Edinburgh, Kilt, Haggis, William Wallace and saves them to the platform.
  • the platform first saves the keywords, corrects any mistakes such as typos and determines the popular keywords related to the user-entered keywords and saves them.
  • the platform searches these keywords within the updated or concurrently updating EPG data to determine the related content and broadcasts and forms a list thereof.
  • Fig. 1 demonstrates a general flow diagram according to which the image display device of the invention executes different tasks associated with the automatic alternative program offering function according to the present invention.
  • the present invention proposes an image display device enabling a user to reach a TV program according to her/his personal preferences without having to manually process a significant amount of channel and program type information.
  • the user’s viewing experience is improved by enabling accessibility to a more or equally preferable program content as delineated below.
  • the present invention proposes an image display device enabling a user to reach preferred program contents according to her/his personal preferences in a more practical and accurate manner.
  • a significant amount of data in the form of metadata information containing a multitude of attribute names, types and parameter descriptions is receivable by way of using the electronic program guide from the broadcaster.
  • the user can determine a desired number of information tags such as actor names or any topic or keyword of interest.
  • the EPG data is then processed as searchable metadata records so that any matching keyword will allow the user to be notified of an associated program content, which is likely to be of interest to the user.
  • the broadcast program content that is about to start can be notified to the user if the name of the city as given in the title or program description as retrieved from the electronic program guide contains a matching title or keyword such as Rome, being previously defined by the user as an information tag or keyword of interest.
  • the name and particulars (Name, category, channel, duration etc.) of the broadcast program content is shown on the currently viewed channel so that the user may consider switching to the suggested channel.
  • the electronic program guide information processed as searchable metadata records are presented to the user in the form of an on-screen notification containing the name and particulars of the potentially interested program content on another channel. Therefore the core information is intended to be automatically delivered without intrusively interrupting the current viewing experience of the user, which would be inevitable if the user did himself review the electronic program guide pages.
  • the electronic program guide data of sport programs mostly contains certain indications such as for instance the name of a football team, which may be already determined by the user as a favorite keyword.
  • the image display device will hence notify the user each time a sport program of interest is aired before the potentially interested program starts.
  • the user therefore needs to define interested information tags/keys to be searched within the indexable electronic program guide information.
  • the platform can reach and search EPG data of all channels even when the TV is being viewed.
  • the system can also continue working during stand-by mode.
  • the electronic control unit automatically wakes up the image display device if it is not already turned on and directly displays the respective channel with a program content corresponding to the preset preferences of the user.
  • the image display device is set to display the respective program content in mute and automatically turns off if no user input is received in a predetermined time interval, which basically serves to the purpose of avoiding unnecessary power loss if no one is viewing the automatically started program content.
  • User input can be provided by a simple confirmation screen input.
  • the image display device saves the listed contents in chronological order and presents them to the user as suggestions.
  • the suggestions can be relayed to the user using known methods such as pop-ups or messages if the screen is on.
  • the user can optionally set up alarms to replace automatic wake-up. An alarm can accompany an automatic wake-up.
  • the present invention proposes an image display device receiving a plurality of broadcasting services and EPG data, the image display device further comprising a control unit effecting operation of the same.
  • control unit is configured to receive at least one information tag to be associated with a program content and obtainable from EPG data service.
  • control unit being further configured to store a plurality of user-defined keywords such that EPG data is processed as searchable metadata records so that any matching keyword is determined.
  • control unit being further configured to notify an associated program content identified by at least one information tag in the EPG data which also comprises at least one user-defined matching keyword.
  • control unit being further configured to generate an automatic notification before starting of said broadcast program content.
  • information as to said associated program content is either shown on the currently viewed channel or said control unit automatically wakes up the image display device if it is not already turned on and directly displays the associated program content.
  • the EPG data of all channels is searched when the TV is being viewed and also during stand-by mode.
  • the image display device is set to display the associated program content in mute in wake-up mode and automatically turns off the display device if no user input is received in a predetermined time interval.
  • information tags are associated with a user profile to automatically notify real-time or forthcoming alternative programs.
  • said information tags searchable in EPG data are increased in number by way of using a pre-loaded internal database of alternative keywords or by web crawling through a remote server.
  • information as to program contents corresponding to information tags as defined by the user and identified by the control unit in the EPG data are sent to a remote terminal such as a smartphone or computer through a remote network connection.
  • information as to program contents are sent to said remote terminal in a form converted into machine-readable codes.
  • the invention ensures that a user will not mine a significant amount of data by way of using the metadata information provided by the TV services.
  • the present invention addresses the situation where users can access their desired content easily and receive suggestions of program content based on their preferences and set up alarms for these contents. Therefore a user will reach the most relevant content automatically in the quickest way, without having to individually review a multitude of attribute names, types and parameter descriptions as in the case of the electronic program guide.
