在步骤S9中,内容提供服务器4将与请求源的智能手机1对应的令牌、以及图像显示对象的URL向TV云3发送,并进行显示请求。TV云3的获取部312获取由内容提供服务器4发送的令牌和URL。这样,获取部312获取由内容提供服务器4发送的令牌、以及基于来自智能手机1的请求的显示对象的图像的访问地址的URL。
在步骤S10中,TV云3参照存储部311的DB,确定与获取部312获取到的令牌对应的TVID。然后,TV云3的发送部313对于与该TVID对应的电视装置2,发送显示对象的图像的访问地址的URL。
电视装置2的获取部243获取显示对象的图像的访问地址的URL。另外,电视装置2的发送部242基于该URL访问内容提供服务器4,从而获取部243从内容提供服务器4获取基于显示对象的图像的访问地址的图像。然后,电视装置2的显示控制部244使由获取部243获取到的图像显示于视像显示部233。
第1实施方式的TV云3生成将认证码所对应的电视装置2、与基于该认证码的令牌 建立了对应的对应信息,若从内容提供服务器4获取了该令牌、以及基于来自智能手机1的请求的显示对象的图像的访问地址,则向电视装置2通知该图像的访问地址,从而能够使电视装置2显示与智能手机1的请求相应的图像。由此,TV云3能够使能比智能手机1的画面更大地显示的电视装置2显示基于智能手机1的请求的图像。
另外,电视装置2输出包含向内容提供服务器4的访问地址和认证码在内的访问信息,从TV云3获取基于来自智能手机1的请求的显示对象的图像的访问地址,并使该图像显示于视像显示部233。由此,电视装置2能够使能比智能手机1的画面更大地显示的视像显示部233显示基于智能手机1的请求的图像。
(第2实施方式)
第2实施方式的信息协作系统S与第1实施方式不同,针对电视装置2的每个制造商而TV云3不同。即,第2实施方式的信息协作系统S具有多个TV云3。
在此,说明第2实施方式的信息协作系统S的整体构成例。图8是示出第2实施方式的信息协作系统S的整体构成例的概要的图。此外,对于与第1实施方式相同的构成,标注相同的附图标记并省略说明。如图8所示,信息协作系统S具有多个TV云3(TV云3a、TV云3b)。TV云3b能够与该TV云3b所关联的制造商的未图示的电视机即电视装置2进行连接。
附图标记2是电视机。附图标记3是作为所谓的推送发布服务器的TV云。TV云3是制造电视装置2,并且根据从电视装置2收集观看信息的结果来对电视装置2经由网络提供收看节目、预约节目推荐、基于收看节目内容的商品推荐等各种服务的电视机制造商的服务器。
另外,附图标记5是作为共通受理服务器的电视网关。电视网关5是用于综合多个电视机制造商的TV云3而与E商务(EC)连接的电视装置的制造商的制造商共通网站的服务器。信息协作系统S具有能够经由网络而与该多个TV云3收发信息的电视网关5(服务器管理装置)。另外,电视网关5还能够经由网络而与计测服务器6收发信息,该计测服务器6用于进行统计广告显示的结果的计测处理。该电视网关5是将各制造商联合起来的云服务器。即,电视网关5是用于将多个电视机制造商的TV云3综合而与内容提供服务器4连接的服务器。电视网关5对内容提供服务器4发行客户证书(client_id、client_secret)。
另外,在TV云3与电视网关5之间预先规定有设置于x-api-key的随机密钥。在电视网关5与内容提供服务器4之间交接的x-api-key成为通用密钥(pass-key)。
附图标记4是EC网站服务器等内容提供服务器。内容提供服务器4是EC的平台的服务器。对于用户即消费者来说,成为用于购入商品、服务的平台的服务器是内容提供服务器4。另外,内容提供服务器4将redirect_uri预先登记在电视网关5中。
附图标记1050是用户终端。用户终端1050是具有用于将电视装置2与用户终端1050连接的应用程序、以及照相机等光学式读取装置的终端。作为用户终端1050的一个例子,是智能手机1。在第1实施方式中,用户终端1050假定为智能手机1而进行了说明,但是不限定于智能手机。用户终端1050可以是PC、平板电脑终端等,只要是满足状况的条件的终端即可。另外,这些终端能够置换第1实施方式中示出的智能手机。
图9是示出第2实施方式的电视网关5的整体构成例的框图。如图9所示,电视网关 5具备通信I/F501、操作部502、CPU503、存储器504及存储装置505。
通信I/F501是外部装置之间的通信所使用的接口。操作部502具有键盘、鼠标等输入设备、以及显示器等显示设备。
存储装置505例如具备HDD、SSD等,存储各种信息。CPU503通过执行各种程序,从而控制电视网关5的各组件。存储器504具备ROM、RAM等,存储由CPU503进行的各种运算处理中使用的各种程序及各种数据等。
图10是示出第2实施方式的电视网关5的部分构成例的框图。电视网关5具备存储部511(存储器504、存储装置505)、以及作为存储于存储部511中的程序由CPU503执行的结果而生成的功能模块即获取部512、发送部513、生成部514。
存储部511存储由CPU503执行的程序、DB(Data Base:数据库)。
获取部512从外部装置获取各种信息。发送部513向外部装置发送各种信息。生成部514对DB执行信息的生成动作。
接下来,说明第2实施方式的信息协作系统S中的各构成的处理的流程。图11是示出第2实施方式的信息协作系统S中的整体处理的流程图。图11所示的流程图也设想用户操作电视装置2的遥控器等,在所谓的入口画面中,开始用户指定想要与智能手机1协作的EC网站的场景。此外,假设TV云3生成的认证码及令牌包含识别制造商的信息。即,假设TV云3将识别自装置的信息包含在认证码及令牌中。
另外,图11的步骤S21由于与图7的步骤S1同样,所以省略说明。在步骤S22中,URL认证码被从TV云3发送到电视装置2。URL认证码2010是包含确定内容提供服务器4的URL信息、以及用于进行内容提供服务器4与TV云3之间的认证的认证码在内的信息。认证码也可以包含用于判别电视装置2的制造商的部分、以及用于判别电视装置2的部分。另外,认证码中包含的用于判别电视装置2的部分是随机的值。另外,TV云3也可以将向电视装置2发送了该值的时刻作为存储部311的DB的信息而建立对应。
URL认证码2010的信息的例子如以下所述。
https://XXXXXXX YYYYYYYYY
在X的部分中有内容提供服务器4的URL,在Y的部分中有OAuth2的授权码(authorization code)。在授权码的部分中有能够确定制造商和电视机的信息。能够确定制造商和电视装置2的信息也可以是其中某一者。URL认证码2010的发送形式也可以是任何形式,只要包含上述的信息即可。
若电视装置2的获取部243从TV云3获取了URL认证码2010,则显示控制部244将该URL认证码2010的内容在视像显示部233以光学方式作为图像或视像而显示输出。此外,显示控制部244中的显示形态是QR码、条形码、文本等,只要能够将上述URL认证码2010中包含的信息以光学方式作为图像或视像而显示输出即可。另外,在第1实施方式中,以QR码进行了说明,但是,与本实施方式同样地不限定于QR码。
另外,与图7的步骤S3同样,在步骤S23中,用户终端1050从用摄像机构以光学方式拍摄到的图像信息中,利用URL认证码读取功能,读取在视像显示部233上以光学方式显示的URL认证码2011的信息。由此,用户终端1050获取EC网站的URL及认证码。该认证码部分为带时限的认证码,如以下这样构成。
"code":<authorization code>,
"state":<string>//随机数
在步骤S24中,用户终端1050若获取了EC网站的URL及认证码,则基于该URL,访问内容提供服务器4,并且发送认证码2020。
认证码2020是URL认证码2010、URL认证码2011的认证码部分(<authorization code>)。认证码2021如以下所述。
"code":<authorization code>,
"state":<string>//随机数
此外,在认证码2020中,除了上述内容之外,还可以包含内容提供服务器4的URL信息。
在步骤S25中,内容提供服务器4若接收到认证码2020,则将认证码2021向电视网关5发送,并进行认证要求。内容提供服务器4例如将认证要求的信息发送到电视网关5的OAuth2的令牌端点(Token Endpoint)。认证码2021的信息是以下的构成。
Authorization:"Basic"+Base64(<client_id>+":"+<client_secret>)
Content-type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded
·grant_type:"authorization_code"
·code:<authorization code>(认证码)
·redirect_uri:向内容提供服务器4的EC网站返回时的入口、在电视网关5中事先登记的地址。
·client_id:对内容提供服务器4的每个EC网站分别分配的标识符。在电视网关5中事先登记的标识符。
client_secret是由电视网关5对内容提供服务器4的每个网站分别基于client_id分配的。电视网关5的网站观察code的制造商扩展名而进行重定向。
在步骤S26中,电视网关5的发送部313参照获取到的认证码2021,并参照认证码2021中包含的识别制造商的信息,确定发送目的地的TV云3。具体而言,电视网关5的发送部313确认授权码(authorization code)即认证码,来判定是哪个TV云3。
然后,在步骤S27中,电视网关5的发送部313通过向发送目的地的TV云3发送认证要求2022,从而进行认证要求。这样,电视网关5的发送部513向基于认证码2021的Authorization_code(认证码)确定的发送目的地的TV云3发送认证要求2022。电视网关5的发送部313发送的认证要求2022的信息与从内容提供服务器4获取到的认证码2021的信息相同。作为其它的认证要求2022的信息的例子,有以下的例子。
GET https://each-maker.example.com/common/devices/id
Authorization:"Bearer"+<access_token>
TV云3的获取部312将URL认证码2010中记载的认证码连同识别内容提供服务器4的信息一起获取。
TV云3的生成部314通过参照存储部311的DB,判断是否存在与由获取部312获取的识别内容提供服务器4的信息及认证码对应的信息,从而进行认证。生成部314参照存储部311的DB,在存在与由获取部312获取的识别内容提供服务器4的信息及认证码对应的信息的情况下,生成令牌2030。另外,生成部314进一步将令牌2030与上述DB中的具有由获取部312获取的识别内容提供服务器4的信息及认证码的信息建立对应。
在步骤S28中,TV云3的发送部313将由生成部314生成的令牌2030向电视网关5发送。
具体而言,TV云3的发送部313将OAuth2的令牌响应(Token Response)作为令牌2030发送到电视网关5。该响应的OAuth2访问令牌响应(Access Token Response)如以下这样构成。
{"access_token":<access token>,
"token_type":"Bearer",
"expires_in":3600,
"refresh_token":<refresh token>}
TV云3在访问电视网关5时带上access_token。expires_in是access_token的有效期间(秒),在接收到access_token时与变成无效的时刻一起存储,到那时为止重复使用该access_token。refresh_token由内容提供服务器4秘密地保管。这是因为,在安全方面,单纯地放置在本地存储器(local storage)中不好。在各制造商发行access_token、refresh_token时,在前头加上识别电视机制造商的标识符,从而能够确定电视机制造商。
电视网关5的获取部512获取令牌2030。然后,在步骤S29中,电视网关5将令牌2030作为令牌2031而向内容提供服务器4发送,内容提供服务器4获取令牌2031。此外,TV云3的发送部313也可以直接向内容提供服务器4发送令牌。
内容提供服务器4保存将令牌2031与认证码的发送源的用户终端1050的用户ID建立对应的信息。
然后,在步骤S30中,内容提供服务器4将令牌2031和用户ID作为响应而将令牌+用户ID2040向电视网关5发送。由此,内容提供服务器4能够将用户终端1050的用户的用户ID向电视网关5发送。
内容提供服务器4发送的令牌+用户ID2040的信息的构成如以下所述。
POST https://tv-common.example.com/common/users/id
Authorization:"Basic"+Base64(<client_id>+":"+<client_secret>)
Content-type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded
{grant_type:"access_token",
access_token:<access token>(在步骤S28中作为访问令牌发行的信息),
client_id:对内容提供服务器4的每个网站分别分配的标识符。在制造商共通网站中事先登记,
user_id:内容提供服务器4的网站中的用户ID,
Preference:<当前的用户属性(当前的用户属性:用户的出生年月日、性别、邮政编码、购买历史等)>}
电视网关5的获取部512从内容提供服务器4获取令牌+用户ID2040。在步骤S31中,电视网关5的发送部513根据令牌+用户ID2040来确定发送目的地的TV云3,向发送目的地的TV云3发送设备ID请求2041(TVID)。此外,电视网关5的发送部513在发送设备ID请求2041时,也可以发送令牌。
设备ID请求2041是用于电视网关5用OAuth2的access_token来向各制造商(TV云3)询问TV的device_id(TVID)的请求,例如是以下的请求。
GET https://each-maker.example.com/common/devices/id
·Authorization:"Bearer"+<access_token>
·x-api-key:<由制造商共通网站和各制造商规定的随机密钥>
·Content-type:application/json
·client_id:对制造商共通网站分别分配的标识符
TV云3参照存储部311的DB,获取与获取到的令牌对应的TVID。另外,TV云3也可以还获取与获取到的TVID对应的设备的信息(该TVID的电视装置2的属性信息)。在步骤S32中,TV云3的发送部313将TVID等信息作为设备ID响应2050而向电视网关5发送。作为设备ID响应2050的例子,存在以下这样的例子
·"device_id":<id>(TV云3赋予给电视装置2的TVID)
·"model":<model name>(电视装置2的模型即显示画面英寸、2K、4K、8K等像素数量信息等)
在步骤S33中,电视网关5的生成部514将关联了获取到的TVID(设备ID)、用户ID、以及电视装置2的模型信息(model)而成的信息绑定信息作为DB的信息,向存储部511登记。
另外,电视网关5的生成部514生成通用密钥(pass key)2051。另外,在步骤S34中,发送部513将该通用密钥向内容提供服务器4发送。该通用密钥包含以下的信息。
·"pass_key":<pass_key>,(从步骤S44以后的操作指令2090到操作指令2093的动作时,将该pass_key用作ID)
·"expires_in":86400,(expires_in是在最初的访问中,即使在无法准备preference的情况下,也缓期10天返回。)
·"model":<model name>(是设备ID响应的模型的信息,电视装置2的模型即显示画面英寸、2K、4K、8K等像素数量信息等)
另外,在步骤S35中,电视网关5的生成部514将生成的通用密钥存储到存储部511。
内容提供服务器4若从电视网关5获取了通用密钥,则存储通用密钥中包含的信息。具体而言,对EC网站的每个用户ID存储下述的信息。
·access_token
·refresh_token
·pass_key
·model//进行协作的TV模型信息
在步骤S36中,用户终端1050通过应用程序的启动,向内容提供服务器4提供的服务进行服务登录。由此,智能手机1显示EC网站画面。在该应用程序输出的EC网站画面中,还输出用于向电视装置2连接的按钮。此外,在步骤S37中,内容提供服务器4根据步骤S36的登录,向用户终端1050发送设备信息2070。此处所说的设备信息2070,是通用密钥2051中包含的设备ID、用户ID、模型名之中的任意1个或2个或3个的组合。
智能手机1的用户对于EC网站画面的链接目的地,选择用于向电视装置2连接的按钮。在步骤S38中,用户终端1050通过根据该选择,将链接目的地的URL向内容提供服务器4发送,从而发送电视显示请求(TV显示请求2071)。
内容提供服务器4若从用户终端1050接收到TV显示请求2071,则在步骤S39中, 通过对电视网关5发送包含令牌、通用密钥及链接目的地的URL在内的显示请求2072,从而对电视装置2进行显示请求。显示请求2072的信息的构成如以下所述。
POST https://tv-common.example.com/common/devices/control
Authorization:"Bearer"+<access_token>x-api-key:<pass_key>
Content-type:application/jison
{"command_type":"keycode"
"keycode":"<common key code>"}
{"command_type":"webview",
"site":"<Website URL>",
"Template":"full"}
电视网关5的获取部512从内容提供服务器4接收包含令牌、通用密钥及链接目的地的URL在内的显示请求2072的信息。然后,获取部512从x-api-key的头部取出pass_key。
在步骤S40中,获取部512使用该通用密钥(pass_key)及存储在存储部511中的信息,判别访问地址和访问源。在步骤S41中,发送部513基于判别出来的结果向TV云3发送包含令牌、URL的信息,并且进行显示请求。这样,发送部513向发送目的地的TV云3发送令牌、以及显示对象的图像的访问地址。此外,电视网关5按照访问源和制造商分别计测访问数量。
在发送部513向TV云3发送的显示请求2073中包含令牌、客户ID、URL、消息。该信息的例子如以下所述。
POST https://each-maker.example.com/common/devices/control
Authorization:"Bearer"+<access_token>x-api-key:<由制造商共通网站和各制造商规定的随机密钥>
Content-type:application/json
{"command_type":"keycode",
"keycode":<common key code>,
"client_id":<client_id>,
"messageid:<message ID>}
{"command_type":"webview",
"site":<Website URL>(电视机用Website URL),
"template":"full",
"client_id":<client_id>,
"message id":<message ID>}
TV云3的获取部312从电视网关5接收显示请求2073。获取部312从显示请求2073的Authorization头部取出access_token,判别电视装置2。在步骤S42中,TV云3的发送部313基于判别出的结果向电视装置2输出显示请求2074。此外,该显示请求也可以替换成制造商独自的显示请求指令。另外,根据需要,TV云3也可以统计每个client_id的访问并对电视机进行要求。
在步骤S43中,电视装置2根据显示请求而使浏览器启动,通过onLoad、onClick的 事件(Event)等来执行javascript(注册商标),将显示对象的URL目的地的图像进行显示输出。另外,电视装置2将识别服务商、用户、TV制造商、显示的广告的显示操作结果通知2080向计测服务器6通知。计测服务器6统计TV云3向多个电视装置2进行了广告显示的结果。基于该统计结果,制造商或电视网关5、或计测服务器6的所有者向持有内容提供服务器4的E商务的平台请求广告宣传费。
用户终端1050的应用程序能够基于步骤S44中的操作指令2090来操作电视装置2的画面。根据来自用户终端1050的操作向内容提供服务器4发送操作指令2090。
在步骤S45中,内容提供服务器4基于在步骤S44中发送的操作指令2090,将包含共通键码在内的操作指令2091发送到电视网关5。共通键码是以与电视操作遥控器操作按钮对应的方式构成的指令。具有数字、十字光标、音量/频道/电源、彩色键、功能键、媒体控制、制造商固有的指令。该制造商固有的指令是指,各制造商独自地用于动作的指令。即,制造商固有指令是指,由各制造商设定的、制造商独自的动作用指令。共通键码是除了制造商固有的指令之外的用于在制造商之间进行共通的操作的键码。
数字指令为"11"、"12"、"0"、"1"、"2"、"3"、"4"、"5"、"6"、"7"、"8"、"9"、"."。
十字光标指令为"上"、"下"、"左"、"右"、"向上翻页"、"向下翻页"、"向左翻页"、"向右翻页"、"进入"、"退出"、"返回"。
音量/频道/电源指令为"电源"、"关电源"、"开电源"、"加大音量"、"减小音量"、"向前选台"、"向后选台"。
彩色键为"蓝"、"红"、"绿"、"黄"。
功能键指令为"电子节目向导"、"初始配置"、"选择广播类型"、"输入选择"、"显示信息"、"静音"、"内容菜单"、"隐藏字幕"。
媒体控制指令为"播放"、"停止"、"暂停"、"重放"、"快进"、"后退"、"向前跳过"、"向后跳过"、"记录"。
电视网关5若接收到步骤S45中的操作指令2091,则在步骤S46中向TV云3发送操作指令2092。操作指令2092是与操作指令2091相同的指令。在步骤S47中,电视网关5将应答消息ID2094作为应答消息发送到内容提供服务器4。消息ID为以下的构成。
{message id:<message ID>}
TV云3若从电视网关5接收到操作指令2092,则在步骤S48中,将操作指令2093发送到电视装置2。操作指令2093是与操作指令2092相同或等同的信息,是进行电视装置2的显示画面的操作的制造商独自的指令。TV云3将操作指令2092替换成用于进行电视装置2的操作的各公司键码即操作指令2093。在电视装置2的操作指令的标准化已发展的情况下,不转换操作指令2092,能够直接作为操作指令2093而利用。
电视装置2基于操作指令2093来操作在电视装置2的视像显示部233上显示的图像。另外,在步骤S49中,电视装置2将识别操作指令的操作结果通知2081向计测服务器6通知。
图11所示的流程图是综合多个制造商向平台的内容提供服务器4进行访问的处理的说明,但是,也能够像第1实施方式的TV云3那样,制造商单独地访问内容提供服务器4。在此情况下,TV云3将电视网关5的动作合并起来。此时,TV云3与电视网关5之间的信息的交互被省略。
电视网关5从内容提供服务器4获取认证码,向基于认证码确定的发送目的地的TV云3发送该认证码,从内容提供服务器4获取令牌、以及显示对象的图像的访问地址,向发送目的地的TV云3发送该令牌、以及显示对象的图像的访问地址。由此,无需从内容提供服务器4侧判断应当向多个TV云3的哪一个发送,就能够处理。
此外,关于在本实施方式的各装置(用户终端1050、电视装置2、TV云3、内容提供服务器4、电视网关5、计测服务器6)中执行的程序,能够以可安装的形式或可执行的形式的文件记录于CD(Compact Disc:光盘)-ROM(Read Only Memory:只读存储器)、软盘(FD)、CD-R(Recordable:可写光盘)、DVD(Digital Versatile Disk:数字通用盘)等在计算机装置中可读取的存储介质中而提供。另外,也可以经由互联网等网络来提供或分发该程序。
(第3实施方式)
第3实施方式的信息协作系统S与第2实施方式的信息协作系统S的整体构成同样。在第3实施方式的信息协作系统S中,电视网关5不仅从TV云3获取令牌,还从内容提供服务器4获取令牌,使用这些令牌,使电视装置2的ID与用户终端1050的用户ID协作。
此外,图6所示的TV云3存储的数据的结构不同。具体而言,TV云3代替图6所示的TVID,而存储HA-ID。另外,代替图6所示的EC网站服务器ID,而存储PF-ID。HA-ID是包含电视机制造商的公司ID即TC-ID、以及电视装置2的设备ID即TV-ID在内的识别信息。PF-ID是视频平台的公司ID。TC-ID成为识别TV云3的标识符。另外,PF-ID成为识别内容提供服务器4的标识符。
接下来,说明第3实施方式的信息协作系统S中的各构成的处理的流程。图12是示出第3实施方式的信息协作系统S中的整体处理的流程图。图12所示的流程图也设想用户操作电视装置2的遥控器等,在所谓的入口画面中,开始用户指定想要与智能手机1协作的EC网站(例如,接受内容提供的服务器)的场景。此外,假设TV云3生成的认证码及令牌包含识别制造商的信息。即,假设TV云3将识别自装置的信息包含在认证码及令牌中。
另外,图12的步骤S61与图7的步骤S1、图11的步骤S12同样。此外,在步骤S61中,电视装置2将与用户指定的EC网站(视频平台)对应的PF-ID向TV云3发送。
在步骤S62中,TV云3作为响应,将包含电视网关5的URL和URL认证码在内的QR码发送到电视装置2。在该QR码中,包含电视网关5的URL、以及下述的带时限的认证码。
{"code":<authorization code>(认证码),
"state":HEX(JSON.stringify({"tcid";<TC-ID>,"pfid";<PF-ID>,"salt";<random string>})+hash)(状态信息)}
URL认证码是包含确定电视网关5的URL信息、用于进行内容提供服务器4和TV云3之间的认证的认证码、以及状态(state)信息的信息。认证码也可以包含用于判别电视装置2的制造商的部分、以及用于判别电视装置2的部分。另外,认证码中包含的用于判别电视装置2的部分是随机的值。另外,TV云3也可以将向电视装置2发送了该值的时刻作为存储部311的DB的信息而建立对应。状态信息也可以包含将制造商的TC-ID和视频平台的PF-ID代码化后的信息。
URL认证码的信息的例子如以下所述。
https://XXXXXXX YYYYYYYYY
在X的部分中具有电视网关5的URL,在Y的部分中具有OAuth2的授权码(authorization code)。在授权码(authorization code)的部分中具有能够确定制造商和电视机的信息。能够确定制造商和电视装置2的信息也可以是其中某一者。URL认证码的发送形式也可以是任何形式,只要包含上述的信息即可。此外,在Y的部分也可以包含状态信息。
若电视装置2的获取部243从TV云3获取了URL认证码,则显示控制部244将该URL认证码的内容在视像显示部233中以光学方式作为图像或视像而显示输出。此外,显示控制部244中的显示形态是QR码、条形码、文本等,只要能够将上述URL认证码中包含的信息以光学方式作为图像或视像而显示输出即可。另外,在第1实施方式及第2实施方式中,以QR码进行了说明,但是,与本实施方式同样地不限定于QR码。
另外,与图7的步骤S3、图11的步骤S23同样,在步骤S63中,用户终端1050从摄像机构以光学方式拍摄到的图像信息中,利用URL认证码读取功能,读取在视像显示部233上以光学方式显示的URL认证码的信息。由此,用户终端1050获取电视网关5的URL及认证码等。该认证码部分为带时限的认证码,如以下这样构成。
"code":<authorization code>,
"state":<string>//随机数
步骤S64中,用户终端1050若获取了电视网关5的URL、认证码、及状态信息,则基于该URL,访问电视网关5,并且,发送认证码及状态信息,并进行认证要求。此外,状态信息如上所述,包含TC-ID和PF-ID。
在认证要求时发送的信息如以下所述。
"code":<authorization code>,
"state":<string>//随机数
步骤S65中,若电视网关5的获取部512接收到认证码及状态信息,则电视网关5的发送部513将包含表示协作指示的协作按钮在内的HTML形式的画面向用户终端1050发送。该HTML也可以包含访问PF-ID的OAuth2授权端点(Authorization Endpoint)的URL、以及参数。
用户终端1050获取上述的HTML形式的画面。然后,若通过用户终端1050的用户操作而按下了协作按钮(步骤S66),则对作为视频平台的内容提供服务器4进行认可要求。另外,内容提供服务器4接收该认可要求,将对其应答的主旨的信息向用户终端1050发送(步骤S67)。
在上述认可要求时发送的信息例如是以下的构成。
Authorization:"Basic"+Base64(<client_id>+":"+<client_secret>)Request
{
"response_type":"code"
"code":<authorization code>(认证码)
"redirect_uri":<TGW Endpoint>(电视网关5的终点)
"client_id":<TG-ID>(电视网关5的ID)
"scope":<VPF提供>(令牌的认证范围)
"state":HEX(JSON.stringify({"tcid";<TC-ID>,"pfid";<PF-ID>,"salt";<random string>})+hash)(状态信息)
}
在内容提供服务器4中未登记用户信息的情况下,在用户终端1050和内容提供服务器4之间进行用户登记处理(步骤S68)。在此,用户登记处理是指,将用于向内容提供服务器4登录的信息即用户ID及口令进行登记、或者将用户的属性信息进行登记的处理。
接下来,用户终端1050向内容提供服务器4进行登录请求,内容提供服务器4做出与该登录请求相应的响应(步骤S69)。作为该响应的例子,输出以下的信息(认可码)。
Response
{"code":<authorization code>,
"state":<state>}
用户终端1050若接收到上述响应,则向电视网关5进行表示协作指示的重定向(步骤S70)。此外,用户终端1050也可以将上述认可码向电视网关5发送。
若电视网关5的获取部512接收到表示协作指示的重定向,则电视网关5基于从用户终端1050获取到的状态信息中包含的TC-ID,来确定制造商。即,电视网关5分派制造商(步骤S71)。
然后,在步骤S72中,电视网关5的发送部513通过向发送目的地的TV云3发送认证码,从而进行令牌请求(步骤S72)。
在该令牌请求时发送的信息例如是以下的构成。
Authorization:"Basic"+Base64(TG-ID+":"+<client_secret>)
Request Parameters
{
grant_type:"authorization_code”,
code:<authorization code>(认证码),
state:<string>(状态信息),
redirect_uri:<redirect_uri>,
client_id:<TG-ID>}
TV云3的生成部314通过参照存储部311的DB,判断是否存在与由获取部312获取到的识别内容提供服务器4的信息(例如,状态信息中包含的信息)及认证码对应的信息,从而进行认证。生成部314参照存储部311的DB,在存在与由获取部312获取到的识别内容提供服务器4的信息及认证码对应的信息的情况下,生成令牌(第1令牌)。另外,生成部314进一步将第1令牌与上述DB中的具有由获取部312获取到的识别内容提供服务器4的信息及认证码的信息建立对应。
步骤S73中,TV云3的发送部313将由生成部314生成的第1令牌向电视网关5发送。
具体而言,TV云3的发送部313将OAuth2的令牌响应(Token Response)作为令牌发送到电视网关5。该响应的OAuth2访问令牌响应(Access token Response)如以下这样构成。
Response
{"access_token":<access token>,
"token_type":"Bearer",
"expires_in":3600,
"refresh_token":<refresh token>}
TV云3在访问电视网关5时带上access_token。expires_in是access_token的有效期间(秒),在接收到access_token时与变成无效的时刻一起存储,到那时为止重复使用该access_token。refresh_token由内容提供服务器4秘密地保管。这是因为,在安全方面,单纯地放置在本地存储器(local storage)中不好。在各制造商发行access_token、refresh_token时,在前头加上识别电视机制造商的标识符,从而能够确定电视机制造商。
若电视网关5的获取部512获取了上述第1令牌,则电视网关5的发送部513发送包含认可码的信息并且向内容提供服务器4进行令牌请求(步骤S74)。
在该令牌请求时发送的信息例如是以下的构成。
Authorization:"Basic"+Base64(TG-ID+":"+<client_secret>)
Request
{grant_type:"authorization_code”,
code:<code>(认可码),
state:<string>(状态信息),
redirect_uri:<TGW Endpoint>,
client_id:<TG-ID>
}
内容提供服务器4基于从电视网关5获取的认可码,确定该认可码所对应的用户ID。然后,内容提供服务器4生成基于该用户ID的令牌即第2令牌。
在步骤S75中,内容提供服务器4将生成的第2令牌向电视网关5发送。此外,内容提供服务器4也可以将第2令牌、用户ID、以及用户属性信息建立对应地存储。
具体而言,内容提供服务器4将OAuth2的令牌响应(Token Response)作为令牌发送到电视网关5。该响应的OAuth2访问令牌响应(Access token Response)如以下这样构成。
{"access_token":<access token>,
"token_type":"Bearer",
"expires_in":3600,
"refresh_token":<refresh token>}
电视网关5的获取部512从内容提供服务器4获取第2令牌。然后,电视网关5的发送部513将第2令牌向内容提供服务器4发送并且向内容提供服务器4进行用户信息请求(步骤S76)。
在该用户信息请求时发送的信息例如是以下的构成。
Authorization:"Bearer"+<access token>)
内容提供服务器4检索与从电视网关5获取到的第2令牌对应的用户ID及用户的属性信息,将这些信息作为响应向电视网关5发送(步骤S77)。由此,电视网关5的获取部512获取用户ID及用户的属性信息。该响应的信息如以下这样构成。
Response
{"user_id":<UR-ID>(内容提供服务器4的网站中的用户ID),
"Preference":<当前的用户属性>(用户的出生年月日、性别、邮政编码、购买历史等)}
在步骤S78中,内容提供服务器4发送PF-ID,并且进行设备信息请求。在该设备信息请求时发送的信息例如是以下的构成。
Authorization:"Basic"+Base64(PF-ID+":"+<client_secret>)
若电视网关5的获取部512从内容提供服务器4接收到设备信息请求,则电视网关5的发送部513将与在步骤S74中发送的第2令牌对应的第1令牌发送到TV云3,并且进行设备信息请求(步骤S79)。在该设备信息请求时发送的信息例如是以下的构成。
Authorization:"Bearer"+<access token>)
TV云3的获取部312若获取了第1令牌,则获取与该第1令牌对应的HA-ID、以及与该HA-ID对应的设备的信息(与该HA-ID对应的电视装置2的属性信息)。
在步骤S80中,TV云3的发送部313将HA-ID等信息作为响应,向电视网关5发送。电视网关5的获取部512获取HA-ID、以及与该HA-ID对应的设备的信息。作为该响应的例子,存在以下这样的例子。
Response
{
·"device_id":<HA-ID>(HA-ID)
·"model":<model name>(电视装置2的模型即显示画面英寸、2K、4K、8K等像素数量信息等)}
在步骤S81中,电视网关5的生成部514将关联了获取到的HA-ID、用户ID、电视装置2的属性信息即模型信息(model)、以及PF-ID而成的绑定信息作为DB的信息,向存储部511登记。此外,电视网关5的生成部514也可以进一步使绑定信息包含用户的属性信息。
另外,电视网关5的生成部514生成通用密钥。另外,在步骤S82中,发送部513将该通用密钥向内容提供服务器4发送。该通用密钥包含以下的信息。
·"pass_key":<pass_key>,(在操作指令的动作时将该pass_key用作ID)
·"expires_in":86400,(expires_in是在最初的访问中,即使在无法准备preference的情况下,也缓期10天返回。)
·"model":<model name>(是设备ID响应的模型的信息,电视装置2的模型即显示画面英寸、2K、4K、8K等像素数量信息等)
另外,电视网关5的生成部514将生成的通用密钥存储到存储部511。
内容提供服务器4若从电视网关5获取了通用密钥,则存储通用密钥中包含的信息。具体而言,内容提供服务器4对EC网站的每个用户ID存储下述的信息。
·access_token
·refresh_token
·pass_key
·model//协作的TV模型信息
电视网关5从用户终端1050获取认证码,向基于认证码确定的发送目的地的TV云3发送该认证码,从TV云3获取第1令牌,并从内容提供服务器4获取第2令牌。然后,电视网关5通过将该第2令牌向内容提供服务器4发送,从而获取用户ID,通过将第1令牌向TV云3发送,从而获取电视装置2的ID(例如HA-ID)。这样,电视网关5通过从内容提供服务器4获取用户ID,并从TV云3获取电视装置2的ID,从而能够将用户ID与电视装置2的ID建立对应。
在此情况下,因为电视网关5将用户ID与电视装置2的ID建立对应地存储,所以,TV云3不必管理用户ID,能够减轻TV云3的信息管理负担。另外,因为电视网关5从用户终端1050获取了认证码,所以不必从内容提供服务器4将该认证码发送到电视网关5,还能够减轻内容提供服务器4的处理负担。即,电视网关5能够适当地执行使接收机的标识符(电视装置2的ID)与终端的标识符(用户终端1050的用户ID)协作的处理。
(第4实施方式)
第4实施方式的信息协作系统S与第2实施方式的信息协作系统S的整体构成同样。在第2实施方式中,描述了认证码也包含在QR码中的情况,但是,在第4实施方式的信息协作系统S中,关于认证码,另行以个人识别码(pin code)进行显示。
接下来,说明第4实施方式的信息协作系统S中的各构成的处理的流程。图13的步骤S21因为与图11的步骤S21及图7的步骤S1同样,所以省略说明。

QR码中包含的URL的信息的例子如以下所述。
https://XXXXXXX
在X的部分中,具有内容提供服务器4的URL。QR码的URL的发送形式可以是任何形式,只要包含上述的信息即可。
若电视装置2的获取部243从TV云3获取了QR码及个人识别码,则显示控制部244将该QR码在视像显示部233以光学方式作为图像或视像进行显示输出。另外,显示控制部244将个人识别码进行显示输出。
在步骤S92中,用户终端1050从由摄像机构以光学方式拍摄到的图像信息中利用读取功能,读取在视像显示部233上以光学方式显示的URL的信息。
在步骤S93中,用户终端1050启动应用程序(APP),使得成为可接收个人识别码的输入的状态。
在步骤S94中,若通过用户操作而输入了PIN码,则用户终端1050获取该PIN码作为认证码。步骤S24~步骤S35分别与图11的步骤S24~步骤S35同样。
第4实施方式的TV云3将与认证码对应的个人识别码发送到电视装置2,电视装置2显示该个人识别码。然后,用户终端1050的用户基于该个人识别码进行输入操作,用户终端1050将该个人识别码作为认证码向内容提供服务器4发送。
在此情况下,即使在无法将认证码与URL一起包含在二维码中的情况下,也能够从用户终端1050将认证码向内容提供服务器4发送。
(第5实施方式)
第5实施方式的信息协作系统S与第3实施方式的信息协作系统S的整体构成同样。在第 5实施方式的信息协作系统S中,电视网关5将宣传(campaign)信息作为促进信息向电视装置2发送,该促进信息用于促进使第3实施方式的信息协作系统S中的、电视装置2的ID与用户终端1050的用户ID协作的处理。在信息协作系统S中,电视装置2在基于促进信息指示了使电视装置2的ID与用户终端1050的用户ID协作的处理的情况下,执行使电视装置2的ID与用户终端1050的用户ID协作的处理。

"redirect_uri":<TGW Endpoint>(电视网关5的终点)
"client_id":<TG-ID>(电视网关5的ID)
"scope":<VPF提供>(令牌的认证范围)
"state":HEX(JSON.stringify({"tcid";<TC-ID>,"pfid";<PF-ID>,"salt";<random string>})+hash)(状态信息)
}
此外,在电视装置2在步骤S119的时间点,经由TV云3对电视网关5进行了协作状态的确认请求的情况下(步骤S151、步骤S152),电视网关5将协作未完成的主旨的信息向电视装置2发送(步骤S153、步骤S154)。
在内容提供服务器4中未登记用户信息的情况下,在用户终端1050和内容提供服务器4之间进行用户登记处理(步骤S121)。在此,用户登记处理是指,将用于向内容提供服务器4登录的信息即用户ID及口令进行登记、或者将用户的属性信息进行登记的处理。
接着,用户终端1050向内容提供服务器4进行登录请求,内容提供服务器4做出与该登录请求相应的响应(步骤S122)。作为该响应的例子,输出以下的信息(认可码)。
Response
{"code":<authorization code>,
"state":<state>}
用户终端1050若接收到上述响应,则向电视网关5进行表示协作指示的重定向(步骤S123)。此外,用户终端1050也可以将上述认可码向电视网关5发送。
若电视网关5的获取部512接收到表示协作指示的重定向,则电视网关5基于从用户终端1050获取到的状态信息中包含的TC-ID,来确定制造商。即,电视网关5分派制造商(步骤S124)。
然后,在步骤S125中,电视网关5的发送部513通过向发送目的地的TV云3发送认证码,从而进行令牌请求(步骤S125)。
在该令牌请求时发送的信息例如是以下的构成。
Authorization:"Basic"+Base64(TG-ID+":"+<client_secret>)

·"model":<model name>(电视装置2的模型即显示画面英寸、2K、4K、8K等像素数量信息等)
}
在步骤S134中,电视网关5的生成部514将关联了获取到的HA-ID、用户ID、电 视装置2的属性信息即模型信息(model)、以及PF-ID而成的绑定信息作为DB的信息,向存储部511登记。此外,电视网关5的生成部514也可以进一步使绑定信息包含用户的属性信息。
在步骤S135中,电视网关5对于用户终端1050,与上述认可码一起进行响应(步骤S135)。
在步骤S134以后,在电视装置2经由TV云3对电视网关5进行了协作状态的确认请求的情况下(步骤S136、步骤S137),电视网关5将协作完成了的主旨的信息(识别进行了协作的内容提供服务器4的信息等)向电视装置2发送(步骤S138、步骤S139)。另外,电视网关5将IFA-ID向内容提供服务器4通知(步骤S140)。
另外,在电视装置2中,在更新了IFA-ID的情况下,将更新后的IFA-ID向TV云3通知(步骤S141)。TV云3将更新后的IFA-ID向电视网关5发送。电视网关5将更新后的IFA-ID向内容提供服务器4发送(步骤S143)。
接着,使用图18所示的流程图来说明协作取消处理。图18是示出协作取消处理的流程图。电视装置2根据用户的操作,对TV云3进行协作取消请求(步骤S161)。TV云3根据来自电视装置2的取消请求,向电视网关5进行协作取消请求(步骤S162)。此外,在步骤S161及步骤S162中,电视装置2或TV云3也可以将IFA-ID连同协作取消请求一起发送。
电视网关5对内容提供服务器4通知协作取消请求(步骤S163)。内容提供服务器4删除已生成的第2令牌。电视网关5删除绑定信息,并将删除的主旨向TV云3通知(步骤S164)。TV云3将绑定信息已被删除的主旨向电视装置2通知(步骤S165)。另外,TV云3也可以删除第1令牌。另外,内容提供服务器4将取消了协作的主旨向电视网关5通知(步骤S166),电视网关5向TV云3通知取消了协作的主旨(步骤S167)。
接着,使用图19来说明经由用户终端1050的操作来取消协作的处理顺序。图19是示出经由用户终端1050的操作来取消协作的处理顺序的流程图。
设想用户操作电视装置2的遥控器等,在所谓的入口画面中,开始用户指定想要取消与智能手机1协作的内容提供服务器4的场景。
图19的步骤S180与图7的步骤S1、图11的步骤S12同样。此外,在步骤S180中,电视装置2将与用户指定的内容提供服务器4对应的PF-ID向TV云3发送。
在步骤S181中,TV云3作为响应,将包含电视网关5的URL和URL认证码的在内QR码发送到电视装置2。在该QR码中,包含电视网关5的URL、以及下述的带时限的认证码。
{"code":<authorization code>(认证码),
"state":HEX(JSON.stringify({"tcid";<TC-ID>,"pfid";<PF-ID>,"salt";<random string>})+hash)(状态信息)}
URL认证码是包含确定电视网关5的URL信息、用于进行内容提供服务器4和TV云3之间的认证的认证码、以及状态信息在内的信息。认证码也可以包含用于判别电视装置2的制造商的部分、以及用于判别电视装置2的部分。另外,认证码中包含的用于判别电视装置2的部分是随机的值。另外,TV云3也可以将向电视装置2发送了该值的时刻作为存储部311的DB的信息而建立对应。状态信息也可以包含将制造商的TC-ID和视 频平台的PF-ID编码化而成的信息。
URL认证码的信息的例子如以下所述。
https://XXXXXXX YYYYYYYYY
在X的部分中具有电视网关5的URL,在Y的部分中具有OAuth2的授权码(authorization code)。在授权码(authorization code)的部分中具有能够确定制造商和电视机的信息。能够确定制造商和电视装置2的信息也可以是其中某一者。URL认证码的发送形式也可以是任何形式,只要包含上述的信息即可。此外,在Y的部分也可以包含状态信息。
若电视装置2的获取部243从TV云3获取了URL认证码,则显示控制部244将该URL认证码的内容在视像显示部233以光学方式作为图像或视像进行显示输出。此外,显示控制部244中的显示形态是QR码、条形码、文本等,只要能够将上述URL认证码中包含的信息以光学方式作为图像或视像而显示输出即可。另外,在第1实施方式及第2实施方式中,以QR码进行了说明,但是,与本实施方式同样地不限定于QR码。
另外,与图7的步骤S3、图11的步骤S23同样,在步骤S182中,用户终端1050从用摄像机构以光学方式拍摄到的图像信息中,利用URL认证码读取功能,读取在视像显示部233上以光学方式显示的URL认证码的信息。由此,用户终端1050获取电视网关5的URL及认证码等。该认证码部分为带时限的认证码,如以下这样构成。
"code":<authorization code>,
"state":<string>//随机数
在步骤S183中,用户终端1050若获取了电视网关5的URL、认证码及状态信息,则基于该URL,访问电视网关5,并且,发送认证码及状态信息,并进行认证要求。此外,状态信息如上所述,包含TC-ID和PF-ID。
在认证要求时发送的信息如以下所述。
"code":<authorization code>,
"state":<string>//随机数
在步骤S184中,若电视网关5的获取部512接收到认证码及状态信息,则电视网关5的发送部513将包含表示协作取消指示的协作取消按钮在内的HTML形式的画面向用户终端1050发送。该HTML也可以包含访问PF-ID的OAuth2授权端点(Authorization Endpoint)的URL、以及参数。
用户终端1050获取上述的HTML形式的画面。然后,若通过用户终端1050的用户操作按下了协作取消按钮(步骤S185),则对作为视频平台的内容提供服务器4进行认可要求。另外,内容提供服务器4接收该认可要求,将对其应答的主旨的信息向用户终端1050发送(步骤S186)。
在上述认可要求时发送的信息例如是以下的构成。
Authorization:"Basic"+Base64(<client_id>+":"+<client_secret>)Request
{
"response_type":"code"
"code":<authorization code>(认证码)
"redirect_uri":<TGW Endpoint>(电视网关5的终点)
"client_id":<TG-ID>(电视网关5的ID)
"scope":<VPF提供>(令牌的认证范围)
"state":HEX(JSON.stringify({"tcid";<TC-ID>,"pfid";<PF-ID>,"salt";<random string>})+hash)(状态信息)}
此外,在电视装置2在步骤S185的时间点,经由TV云3对电视网关5进行了协作状态的确认请求的情况下(步骤S251、步骤S252),电视网关5将正在协作的主旨的信息向电视装置2发送(步骤S253、步骤S254)。
接着,用户终端1050向内容提供服务器4进行登录请求,内容提供服务器4做出与该登录请求相应的响应(步骤S188)。作为该响应的例子,输出以下的信息(认可码)。
Response
{"code":<authorization code>,
"state":<state>}
用户终端1050若接收到上述响应,则向电视网关5进行表示协作指示的重定向(步骤S189)。此外,用户终端1050也可以将上述认可码向电视网关5发送。
然后,在步骤S72中,电视网关5的发送部513通过向发送目的地的TV云3发送认证码,从而进行令牌请求(步骤S190)。
在该令牌请求时发送的信息例如是以下的构成。
Authorization:"Basic"+Base64(TG-ID+":"+<client_secret>)
Request Parameters
{grant_type:"authorization_code”,
code:<authorization code>(认证码),
state:<string>(状态信息),
redirect_uri:<redirect_uri>,
client_id:<TG-ID>
}
TV云3的生成部314通过参照存储部311的DB,判断是否存在与由获取部312获取到的识别内容提供服务器4的信息(例如,状态信息中包含的信息)及认证码对应的信息,从而进行认证。在生成部314参照存储部311的DB,存在与由获取部312获取到的识别内容提供服务器4的信息及认证码对应的信息的情况下,TV云3的发送部313将第1令牌向电视网关5发送(步骤S191)。
具体而言,TV云3的发送部313将OAuth2的令牌响应(Token Response)作为令牌发送到电视网关5。该响应的OAuth2访问令牌响应(Access token Response)如以下这样构成。
Response
{"access_token":<access token>,
"token_type":"Bearer",
"expires_in":3600,
"refresh_token":<refresh token>}
TV云3在访问电视网关5时带上access_token。expires_in是access_token的有效期间(秒),在接收到access_token时与变成无效的时刻一起存储,到那时为止重复使用 该access_token。refresh_token由内容提供服务器4秘密地保管。这是因为,在安全方面,单纯地放置在本地存储器(local storage)中不好。在各制造商发行access_token、refresh_token时,在前头加上识别电视机制造商的标识符,从而能够确定电视机制造商。
若电视网关5的获取部512获取了上述第1令牌,则电视网关5的发送部513发送包含认可码的信息并且向内容提供服务器4进行令牌请求(步骤S192)。
在该令牌请求时发送的信息例如是以下的构成。
Authorization:"Basic"+Base64(TG-ID+":"+<client_secret>)
Request
{
grant_type:"authorization_code”,
code:<code>(认可码),
state:<string>(状态信息),
redirect_uri:<TGW Endpoint>,
client_id:<TG-ID>
}
在步骤S193中,内容提供服务器4将生成的第2令牌向电视网关5发送。
具体而言,内容提供服务器4将OAuth2的令牌响应(Token Response)作为令牌发送到电视网关5。该响应的OAuth2访问令牌响应(Access token Response)如以下这样构成。
{"access_token":<access token>,
"token_type":"Bearer",
"expires_in":3600,
"refresh_token":<refresh token>}
电视网关5的获取部512从内容提供服务器4获取第2令牌。然后,电视网关5的发送部513将第2令牌向内容提供服务器4发送并且向内容提供服务器4进行用户信息请求(步骤S194)。
在该用户信息请求时发送的信息例如是以下的构成。
Authorization:"Bearer"+<access token>)
内容提供服务器4检索与从电视网关5获取到的第2令牌对应的用户ID及用户的属性信息,将这些信息作为响应向电视网关5发送(步骤S195)。由此,电视网关5的获取部512获取用户ID及用户的属性信息。该响应的信息如以下这样构成。
Response
{"user_id":<UR-ID>(内容提供服务器4的网站中的用户ID),
"Preference":<当前的用户属性>(用户的出生年月日、性别、邮政编码、购买历史等)}
电视网关5的发送部513将第1令牌发送到TV云3,并且进行设备信息请求(步骤S196)。在该设备信息请求时发送的信息例如是以下的构成。
Authorization:"Bearer"+<access token>)
TV云3的获取部312若获取了第1令牌,则获取与该第1令牌对应的HA-ID、以 及与该HA-ID对应的设备的信息(与该HA-ID对应的电视装置2的属性信息)。
在步骤S197中,TV云3的发送部313将HA-ID等信息作为响应,向电视网关5发送。电视网关5的获取部512获取HA-ID、以及与该HA-ID对应的设备的信息。作为该响应的例子,存在以下这样的例子。
Response
{
·"device_id":<HA-ID>(HA-ID)
·"model":<model name>(电视装置2的模型即显示画面英寸、2K、4K、8K等像素数量信息等)}
电视网关5删除绑定信息,并将进行了删除的主旨通知内容提供服务器4(步骤S198)。此外,电视网关5也可以将删除了绑定信息的主旨通知TV云3。
电视装置2在步骤S198以后,经由TV云3对电视网关5进行了协作状态的确认请求的情况下(步骤S199、步骤S200),电视网关5将未进行协作的主旨的信息向电视装置2发送(步骤S201、步骤S202)。
在上述的实施方式中,在显示节目表时,描述了显示宣传信息的情况,但是,也可以在经由网络而在节目广播中(线性地发布的动态图像内容发布的节目)在指定的时刻在画面上显示广告时,显示宣传信息。
例如,也可以使用图20所示那样的可点击式广告来显示宣传信息。图20是可点击式广告的信息的例子。该广告信息包含:表示广告信息的对象(Object)的Array的信息(ad_list);表示广告类型的信息(ad_type);以及表示广告图片的URL的信息(img_url)等。
在上述的实施方式中,在图17所示的流程图的处理中,描述了电视网关5对内容提供服务器4进行用户信息请求,从内容提供服务器4获取UR-ID的情况,但是,不限于此。例如,在图21中示出图17的流程图的变形例。对于与在图17中说明的处理同样的部分,省略说明。也可以并非在图21所示的步骤S128或者S130中内容提供服务器4提供UR-ID,而是代替为,在步骤S118中电视网关5发行临时UR-ID并在HTML形式的码中包含的"state"的值中包含该参数。在此情况下,在步骤S120中,用户终端1050将该值向内容提供服务器4发送。另外,也可以在图12的流程图中也如上所述,电视网关5发行临时UR-ID。
本实施方式的电视网关5预先存储宣传信息,在电视装置2显示节目表的时刻等规定的时刻,将宣传信息向电视装置2发送。宣传信息具有广告信息部分350,该广告信息部分350包含表示广告的显示种类的信息和表示广告内容的信息。
另外,电视网关5从用户终端1050获取认证码,向基于认证码确定的发送目的地的TV云3发送该认证码,从TV云3获取第1令牌,并从内容提供服务器4获取第2令牌。然后,电视网关5通过将该第2令牌向内容提供服务器4发送,从而获取用户ID,通过将第1令牌向TV云3发送,从而获取电视装置2的ID(例如HA-ID)。这样,电视网关5通过从内容提供服务器4获取用户ID,并从TV云3获取电视装置2的ID,从而能够将用户ID与电视装置2的ID建立对应。
在此情况下,因为电视网关5将用户ID与电视装置2的ID建立对应地存储,所以,TV云3不必管理用户ID,能够减轻TV云3的信息管理负担。另外,因为电视网关5从 用户终端1050获取了认证码,所以不必从内容提供服务器4将该认证码发送到电视网关5,还能够减轻内容提供服务器4的处理负担。即,电视网关5能够适当地执行使接收机的标识符(电视装置2的ID)与终端的标识符(用户终端1050的用户ID)协作的处理。另外,电视网关5通过输出宣传信息,从而能够促进使电视装置2的ID与用户终端1050的用户ID协作的处理。
另外,电视网关5在宣传信息中具有广告信息,该广告信息包含表示广告的显示种类的信息和表示广告内容的信息,因此,电视装置2根据广告的显示种类而切换显示方式来输出广告信息,由此能够进一步促进与用户终端1050的用户ID协作的处理。另外,电视网关5在宣传信息中包含有多个广告信息,由此电视装置2能够依次输出多个广告。
另外,电视网关5在使电视装置2的ID与用户终端1050的用户ID协作之后,将IFA-ID向内容提供服务器4发送。由此,电视网关5不必将电视装置2的ID向内容提供服务器4公开,就能够提供能确定电视装置2的信息。
虽然说明了本申请的若干个实施方式,但是,这些实施方式仅是作为例子而出示的,并非意图限定申请的范围。例如,上述实施方式中的电视装置也可以是如机顶盒、录像机那样不具备显示机构,而具备对外部的显示装置输出视像信号的接收功能的电子装置。另外,这些新的实施方式能够以其它各种各样的形态来实施,在不脱离申请的主旨的范围内能够进行各种省略、替换、变更。这些实施方式、其变形被包含在申请的范围、主旨中,并且被包含在权利要求书记载的发明及其等同的范围中。
例如,也可以对于显示于用户终端的图像图标中的、能在电视装置中放大显示的图像图标中,在该图像图标上、或附近设置向电视装置放大显示的指示的按钮,另外,也可以对于该可放大显示的图像图标,变更用于与其它的不可放大显示的图像图标进行可识别地辨认的色彩、形状、显示形态。另外,也可以在从用户终端向电视装置指示了放大显示时、或电视装置中的显示处理时,经由用户终端或电视装置进行语音通知。
