Abstract
一种用于有线电视系统的视频点播(VOD)内容传递系统,它包括:位于电缆头端处的VOD应用程序服务器(10),该服务器(10)管理着内容/模板数据库(11),以便响应于从观看者的电视设备发送到电缆头端的观看者请求信号所请求的特定视频内容单元而产生模板化的VOD内容;以及视频服务器(12),用于存储被编码成视频内容单元的视频内容,还用于响应于VOD应用程序服务器(10)而提供所请求的视频内容单元以便传递到观看者的TV设备。
Description
技术领域
本发明一般涉及通过有线电视基础设施提供交互式电视服务,尤其涉及在视频点播(video-on-demand)平台上管理、转换和显示视频内容的系统和方法,特别是在电视机上用于下查式(drill-down)导航的广告显示以及消费者生成的分类广告的显示。
背景技术
在美国和其它技术先进国家,有线电视(CATV)系统被用于将电视服务传递到观看电视的千家万户。典型的CATV系统具有电缆服务提供商头端,该头端装备有视频服务器从而通过分布线路将CATV节目信号发送到各地方的节点并且从那里再发送到TV订户的家。在订户家里,CATV节目信号被发送到一个或多个客户-房屋TV,这些TV耦合到用于信道调谐的外部机顶盒或者装备有内部有线频道调谐器。
当前的CATV机顶盒提供了在订户和CATV头端之间进行信道切换和节目访问的各种功能。更先进的数字机顶盒可以单独地从CATV头端中寻址,并且也允许订户通过遥控单元输入他们的选择输入,以便在连接到CATV头端的电缆的后通道上进行传输,由此能够使订户访问到交互式电视服务和其它类型的先进数字TV服务。交互式电视系统的主要类型通常被称为“视频点播(VOD)系统,其中观看者可以通过遥控单元向机顶盒输入视频节目的选择并使所期望的视频节目瞬时传递过来以便显示在电视机上。这种VOD应用可以包括电影、纪录片、历史上的体育事件、电视节目、通知、广告、音乐视频、短片以及信息的单屏显示。基于VOD的交互式电视服务一般允许观看者使用遥控器在屏幕上的菜单中移动光标,并从所存储的视频节目的各种标题中选择想要观看的节目。先进的遥控单元包括带VCR相似功能的按钮控制,能够使观看者开始、停止、暂停、后退、或重播所选的视频节目或片段。将来,基于VOD的交互式电视服务可以与其它先进的交互式电视服务(比如网页浏览、电子邮件、电视购物(“t-商务”)交易、以及多媒体传递)结合在一起或一起传递,。
随着交互式电视服务的交互式功能和客户覆盖区域不断增大,广告商和内容提供商发现使用点播式广告、节目内容和TV交易对于家庭观看者越来越有吸引力。正在设计VOD内容传递平台,为无缝地且方便地将类型广泛的点播式广告、内容和交易服务传递到家庭观看者。一种先进VOD传递平台的示例是马萨诸塞州Needham镇的Navic Systems公司(d/b/a Navic Networks)所提供的N-波段(TM)系统。这是一种集成系统,它为第三方应用程序开发者提供了应用程序开发平台,用于开发新的VOD服务应用程序、观看者界面和辅助交互式服务,以便部署在全美国的电缆服务区域中CATV操作人员的VOD信道上。在2002年5月30日提交的美国专利申请2002/066,106中包含了关于Navic N-波段系统的详细描述,该专利被引用在此作为参考。
先进的数字机顶盒还有收集数据的能力,比如观看者所调谐的信道和所观看的节目的记录。机顶盒可以被设计成自动地收集该数据并将该数据报告给电缆头端。在头端位置处,可以集中许多用户的观看者数据(其中已除去个人标识数据),并且被提供给广告商和节目赞助商以便针对用户偏好设计并定位新广告和节目的信息,由此增大观众数目,使每一个广告或节目给观看者留下更强烈的印象,并最终增加收入。
目前所提供的VOD广告和节目一般都是针对大众而制作的。令人特别期待的是采用一种VOD传递平台来传递广告、促销宣传、节目以及信息内容,允许观看者容易且可视化地巡航到感兴趣的特定项目这种用于内容传递的可视化导航将会更可能产生一种令观看者满意的经历,并使各观看者参与点播式电视服务和交易。再令人特别期待的是采用一种VOD传递平台来接收来自个人的用户广告的上传,诸如通过联机网络,以便供电视订户搜索、巡航和显示。
发明内容
根据本发明的第一目的,用于传递模板化VOD内容的视频点播(VOD)内容传递系统包括:
(a)位于电缆头端处的VOD应用程序服务器,它管理着多个模板的数据库,以便响应于从观看者的电视设备发送到电缆头端的观看者请求信号所请求的特定视频内容单元而产生模板化的VOD内容;
(b)视频服务器,用于存储被编码成视频内容单元的视频内容,还用于响应于VOD应用程序服务器而提供所请求的视频内容单元以便传递到观看者的电视设备;以及
(c)应用程序数据中心,用于创建并存储多个不同的模板,这些模板按一个层次排序,以便展示按分级次序归类的不同选择类型的视频内容单元,其中用于显示层次级别较高的视频内容单元的模板包括到层次级别较低的一个或多个模板的链接,所述多个分级排序的模板和链接被存储在VOD应用程序服务器所管理的数据库中,以及
其中所述VOD应用程序服务器响应于所选的层次级别较高的视频内容单元的观看者请求,从所述数据库中检索相应的模板并从所述视频服务器中检索相应的视频内容单元,从而在观看者的电视设备上提供模板化的VOD内容显示,该显示包括到层次级别较低的视频内容单元的一个或多个链接,并且当观看者请求选择模板化VOD内容中所显示的到层次级别较低的视频内容单元的链接时,检索相应的层次级别较低的模板和视频内容单元,以便显示在观看者的电视设备上,由此能够使用户在模板化VOD内容的电视显示中使用下查式导航。
在模板化VOD内容传递系统的较佳实施例中,该系统使用了模板化的内容传递来创建用户界面,以便用户在越来越多并行链接的更特定模板(显示广告)类型中巡航以达到用户感兴趣的目的主题。这里称之为“下查式广告”,一系列越来越多的更特定显示广告类型允许订户巡航到感兴趣的目的主题,,同时通过反映到感兴趣的目的主题的观看者路径的一系列广告的移动而具有独特的视觉体验。
作为涉及汽车广告的一个示例,用户界面可以提供分级排序的视频显示广告,这些广告以汽车制造商的广告作为开始,显示时还带有多种型号的广告链接。观看者可以使用遥控单元选择特定型号的广告,显示时也带有更多特定级别的广告链接,比如“顾客包装”、“特色/选项”、或“颜色/风格”等,直到它到达订户感兴趣的目的主题为止。观看者由此能够巡航到感兴趣的特定内容,同时还能够浏览汽车制造商、型号、型号A、特色等的视频广告显示。相似的是,观看者可以在浏览过当地经销商、经销商A、目前的促销宣传等的视频广告显示的同时,巡航到感兴趣的特定内容。模板化的VOD广告是应用户的每一个当前请求搜索VOD应用程序数据库而动态生成的。这能够使系统动态地生成并显示更新的仍属当前的广告内容。例如,如果汽车制造商改变了可购买的型号类型,或如果当地经销商A改变其当前的促销宣传,则可以用系统数据库上的新内容和选择选项来更新广告商的广告,并且可以动态地生成新的模板化广告,从而有线电视公司不再需要为新广告进行拍摄、制作、签合同和安装。使用这种下查式导航方法,便可以启用许多其它类型的广告、主题以及其它交互式电视应用。通过下查导航,也可以跟踪、仿形和/或确定观看者导航路径所呈现出的选择或偏好作为反馈数据,以便广告商细微调节下查式广告的设计。
根据本发明的第二目的,一种用于管理、转换和显示电视机上的顾客生成分类广告的视频点播(VOD)内容传递系统包括:
(a)内容管理站点,能够使单独的用户通过联机网络连接从他们的远程计算机中上传分类广告内容,所述上传的分类广告内容包括相关联的元数据,用于通过标题和话题范围来标识广告内容;
(b)内容筛选组件,用于接收被上传到内容管理站点的分类广告内容并筛选内容中令人反感的文本、音频、视频和/或图像等内容,还用于若发现令人反感的文本、音频、视频和/或图像则拒绝该内容;
(c)内容馈送组件,用于自动转移被内容筛选组件筛选过的分类广告内容以及相关联的元数据并且将他们提供给内容转换组件;
(d)内容转换组件,用于自动地将从内容馈送组件那里提供的被转移的分类广告内容转换成与VOD内容传递系统兼容的视频数据格式,还用于根据内容元数据中所指定的标题和话题范围来给视频服务器数据库中被转换好的分类广告内容自动地编索引;以及
(e)VOD应用程序服务器,它可操作地连接在所述内容转换组件和电缆头端之间,而电缆头端又通过电缆连接到观看者的电视设备,该VOD应用程序服务器响应于观看者通过电视设备发送到电缆头端的、用于请求感兴趣的特定分类广告的请求信号,从电缆头端传递分类广告标题和话题范围列表数据,这些数据是从要在观看者的电视设备上显示的分类广告内容的元数据中生成的,以便他们能够搜索感兴趣的分类广告,从而在视频服务器数据库中检索所请求的分类广告并将它发送到观看者的电视设备上显示出来。
在较佳的电视分类广告系统中,单独的用户可以通过他们的网页浏览器将包括工业标准文件格式的文本、音频、视频和/或图像文件等分类广告内容上传到内容管理站点。内容筛选组件被配置成解析该输入以寻找文本文件中令人反感的文本单词,检测音频文件中令人反感的音频单词,并可选地识别图形或视频文件中令人反感的图像。内容馈入组件自动地将已为显示适当地签过约(已付费并在签约期内)的分类广告内容发送到内容转换组件和视频服务器数据库。VOD应用程序服务器响应于观看者通过遥控输入的请求并从视频服务器数据库中检索按其标题和话题范围编过索引的被请求的分类广告以便显示在观看者的电视机上。内容管理站点也可以包括如下功能:(a)用户交易帐目的帐目管理;(b)内容分类,可便利于用户指定标题和话题范围从而独特地且有吸引力地标识他们的分类广告;(c)电子公告板,用于创建并管理与普遍感兴趣的通知和其它项有关的顾客生成的内容,这些内容要被显示给附属显示中的观看者;以及(d)交易处理,用于处理使用本系统中所用的用户费用、找零和退款等支付过程。
下面结合附图进一步地详细描述本发明的上述和其它目的、特征和优点。
附图说明
图1A是根据本发明的VOD内容传递系统的整体体系结构的图,图1B示出了下查式广告导航的示例,而图1C示出了模板化广告显示模型的示例。
图2A是VOD内容传递系统的顾客生成分类广告应用的整个体系结构的过程流程图,图2B示出了用于分类广告应用的内容管理站点,图2C示出了内容筛选组件,而图2D示出了本系统的内容馈入和转换组件。
具体实施方式
参照图1A,用于VOD内容传递系统的整个系统体系结构包括位于电缆头端处的VOD应用程序服务器10。VOD应用程序服务器10管理着模板和视频内容段的数据库11,视频内容段来自用于生成模板化的VOD内容的视频服务器12。VOD内容是响应于观看者请求信号而生成的,该请求信号是从观看者的电视设备的数字机顶盒21中经数字电缆电视系统13而发送到位于电缆头端处的VOD应用程序服务器10的。VOD应用程序服务器10的类型可以是能够装入该服务器并运行于该服务器上的任何符合兼容性而开发的VOD应用程序。这种VOD应用程序服务器的示例是上文提到的Navic N-Band(TM)服务器。在应用程序数据中心30处创建用于显示VOD内容的模板,并存储到数据库11中,以便由可操作的VOD应用程序使用。例如,可以设计模板使之在标志图框中呈现视频广告内容显示,或在目前被显示的视频内容四周的框中提供导航按钮和观看者选择选项。在下面更详细描述的较佳实施例中,在一系列越来越集中的广告显示类型中使用模板来提供导航帮助。使用视频内容编码器31将原始的视频馈入编码成与VOD平台兼容的格式化的视频内容段,并将它们通过视频内容分配网络14提供给视频服务器12。
在运行过程中,VOD应用程序服务器10运行用于CATV系统的VOD应用程序,例如“点播的汽车商业信息片”。通过按下观看者的遥控单元上的键发送一个IR信号到机顶盒21而启用一个用户请求信号,该请求信号经数字电缆电视系统13的底部信道被发送到电缆头端处的VOD应用程序服务器10,观看者便发送了一则选定VOD内容的请求,比如要看特定汽车制造商所制造的特定型号的商业信息片。响应于该信号,VOD应用程序服务器10确定所请求的VOD内容,从模板数据库11中检索商业信息片广告显示模板并从视频服务器12中检索视频内容段,以便生成相应的模板化VOD内容。在本发明中,模板是分级排序的多种不同类型,并且等级更高的模板中的内容显示包括观看者可选的、到层次级别较低的内容的多个链接。当用遥控选择一个链接时,VOD应用程序服务器10检索级别较低的模板和视频内容并将它显示给用户。每一个相继的模板化显示可以进一步包括相继地到层次级别更低的内容的链接,使得观看者可以使用一连串链接的模板化VOD显示作为一种“下查式导航”方法来找到感兴趣的特定目的内容。
参照图1B,示出了模板化VOD内容传递系统的较佳实施例,它提供了在显示广告(比如用于汽车商业信息片的显示广告)中使用下查式导航的用户界面。当观看者选择VOD应用程序(频道)时,比如“车轮-点播”,观看者的电视会显示带有各种按钮的主菜单,邀请观看者“选择类别”。观看者可以选择“汽车”类别,然后电视机将显示带有各种按钮的“汽车”菜单,邀请观看者“选择制造商”,比如制造商A、制造商B等。当观看者做出选择时,比如选择制造商A时,观看者的电视机就显示另一个菜单,该菜单是进入模板化VOD内容传递的入口(Gateway),使模板化的显示广告的下查式导航成为可能。通过该入口,VOD应用程序离开菜单模式并进入下查式导航模式,以便相继地显示分级排序的视频内容,这允许观看者逐步巡航到更密切注意的内容。在本示例中,最高的层次等级包括型号、本地经销商、销售事件和/或存货清单等类别。当观看者从该入口中选择一个类别,比如“型号”,时,该VOD应用程序就创建模板化的广告显示,在框中示出了该汽车制造商的所有型号的视频内容,该框具有到该汽车制造商所制造的特定型号列表的多个链接(按钮或选择)。当观看者选择到特定型号,比如“型号A”,的链接时,VOD应用程序就创建模板化的广告显示,示出了型号A的视频内容,然后观看者可以选择运行型号A的视频商业长信息片。或者,下查式导航可以继续到各种特征级别,比如“定制包装”、“选择”、“颜色/风格”等。相似的是,从入口中选择“本地经销商”类别可以引出用于本地经销商的模板化的广告,其中带有到观看者的电缆服务区域中特定的本地经销商的链接,并且点击特定的“经销商A”可以引出用于经销商A的模板化的广告,其中进一步带有到属于经销商A的更具体的内容(比如“当前的促销”等)的链接。
这样,通过使用作为导航工具的下查式广告,模板化VOD内容传递系统允许用户巡航到非常感兴趣的特定内容,同时具有浏览过一系列广告的独特的可视化经历,这一系列广告反映了用户找到感兴趣的主题的路径。每次用户发出请求时,通过搜索内容/模板数据库,便动态地生成了模板化的VOD广告,从而通过用更新后的链接和视频内容简单地更新数据库,使系统能够显示更新后的导航选择和内容。例如,如果汽车制造商改变目前可购买的汽车的型号,或者如果本地经销商A改变目前可购买的汽车的促销信息,则广告商的广告可以用新的模板框导航链接和内容来更新,而有线电视公司不必再对全新的广告或屏幕显示进行拍摄、制作、签合约、发送和编程。通过使用下查式导航方法,可以启用许多其它类型的多层或纵深的广告、主题和交互式TV应用程序。还可以跟踪、仿形和/或确定通过下查式导航的观看者导航路径所呈现出的各种选择或偏好作为反馈数据,以便广告商细微调节下查式广告的设计。
在图1C中,一个示例示出了模板化的VOD显示是如何以多层的形式产生的。背景屏幕为显示提供了基本的颜色、标志、或图形主题。在背景上层叠了一个选定的模板(显示框),该模板适合于原打算的显示所处于的导航等级。该模板通常具有一个框,其中所定义的各区域预留用作文本、显示图像、和导航链接(按钮)。最后,从数据库中检索出由相关的文本、图像和按钮构成的想要的内容,并将该内容层叠到该模板上。所产生的屏幕显示示出了组合后的背景标志或主题、导航框、以及文本、视频图像和按钮。
再次参照图1A,可以在电缆头端处安装常规类型的跟踪系统15,以聚集关于观看者观看什么频道和节目等非个人数据。对于下查式导航方法,跟踪系统15可以包括导航路径的跟踪,在VOD应用程序中用户使用这些导航路径找到感兴趣的主题。观看者导航数据的聚集可以指示什么主题是最流行的,在一天的某些时段从人口统计学的角度看或与某些产品或服务相关的情况下某些主题是否更令观看者感兴趣。VOD应用程序服务器10可以将聚集的观看者导航数据输出到外部仿形系统16,比如非偏移的或非相关的稳定应用分布图分析方法。仿形系统16的结果可以被传送到瞄准系统17,比如模板设计公司或内容产生公司,以细调与用户偏好或兴趣一致的模板化VOD内容的呈现过程。来自瞄准系统的反馈可以被提供给VOD应用程序服务器,以修改内容/模板数据库11。
可以开发用于模板化VOD内容传递系统的另一个应用程序,以便支持按“下查式”方式链接从全国到地方的市场广告活动的视频广告。全国或地方的广告商都可以付费从而使其视频广告放在本系统上。当运行VOD应用程序时,作为入口而显示全国的广告,以链接到地方市场广告。这样,全国的广告可以用于将用户从对某一产品的一般兴趣转移到找到关于该产品在当地可购买的具体信息。
模板化的VOD内容传递系统也可以支持“通信量构建”视频,其中包括可能不产生直接收入的音乐视频。一旦对视频进行编码并注册到本系统中,则通过软件系统和自动控制来进行视频的管理和分配。该用户界面为用户提供了导航并找到所期望的视频内容的能力。类别的选择为用户呈现出可回放的视频标题的列表。可以用实时数据库询问来产生类别和标题列表,从而允许在该用户界面内对内容进行数据库驱动式管理。该用户界面也可以支持搜索界面,它允许用户搜索视频内容数据库,以产生带有特定特征的视频标题列表。
