    摘要: An interactive digital television system (iDTV) with a personalization module (PM) for injecting signals towards a small user-groups. The iDTV system comprises a broadcast operator (BO) for sending to subscriber units (SB: SB1-SB3) a downstream digital broadcast stream (BS) received from an interactive digital television provider (ITVP), and also comprising an interaction return channel operator (RCO) for providing interactivity between the subscriber units and the interactive digital television provider by means of a bi-directional interaction return channel (IC). The personalization module (PM) is coupled to the bi-directional interaction return channel (IC) and allows intercommunication between the subscriber units. As a result, a user can escape the limitations of the current linear TV programs and is transformed from a pure spectator into a producer and director of a collective or individual iDTV experience. In this way, when implicit or explicit groups of users are created, a user of the group may send control or data signals to the other users of the group. Data signals may be multimedia data to display and control signals may be recommendations of switching all together to another broadcasted channel. Preferably, each subscriber unit comprises a set-top box (STB) coupled to a server-side logic (L1) of the interactive digital television provider (ITVP) via the personalization module (PM) and this personalization module comprises an application logic proxy (L1′) able to interpret signals sent over the interaction return channel (IC) between the set-top box and the server-side logic in order to forward selected ones of these signals to other parts of the iDTV system. The personalization module (PM) comprises some or all the following modules: the application logic proxy (L1′), a content-reflector and forking module (L2), a community support module (L3), a presence module (L4), a terminal capability module (L5) and a broadcast data collector module (L6), interconnected through a routing/forwarding layer or link (RFL).

    摘要: A multimedia distribution system or interactive digital television broadcast system (iDTV) comprising several content providers (CP: CP1, CP2) broadcasting channels of video signals to a user (TV, STB) via a content selector (CS). The broadcast system comprises a user behavior analyzer (UBA) with quantitative behavior classifier (E(w)) able to analyze and to classify the quantitative consumption behavior of the user, and with a qualitative behavior classifier (F(x)) having as output classified user behaviors and prediction on future behaviors of the user. The classifiers are coupled to an opportunities selector (G(y)) that also receives information from additional content providers (ACP: ACP1, ACP2, ACP3). Under control of the opportunities selector G(y), additional content, e.g. advertisements, meta-information, iTV applications, trailers, . . . is send to a multimedia data combiner (H(z)) whereby the additional content is published, e.g. by mixing or by an overlay operation on/ over the selected channel. As a result, the end-user gets his broadcast channel adapted with the content that was selected based on his consumption behavior. The role of the qualitative behavior classifier classifying and predicting the user consumption behaviors is different from the role of the opportunities selector defining, predicting and classifying windows of opportunities to publish/ add content from additional content providers; and the interface (I2) between them has an important role as business-to-business (B2B) interface.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for Service provisioning in a communications system that comprises a plurality of communications devices, each including a tag reader for reading a tag-identifier from a tag attached to an object and for forwarding this tag-identifier to a service provisioning server. This service provisioning server is coupled to the communications devices over a communications network and the tag having a unique tag-identification. The service provisioning method further includes the steps of forwarding by a communications device of the plurality of communications devices a trigger message including trigger-information at reading the tag-identification of the tag towards the service provisioning server. Subsequently, a service-description of a service based on the trigger-information associated with the service stored in a service-list is determined followed by the executing of the service determined by the service provisioning server based on the retrieved service description.

    摘要: Object codes such as for example bar codes and other codes from objects such as for example tagged retail goods and other products define first, non-individualized information such as for example audio and/or video commercials etc. to be supplied to destinations (24). To increase a number of possibilities, in response to the object codes, second, individualized information such as for example personal pictures and/or movies etc. is supplied to the destinations (24) in case of being authorized to receive this second, individualized information and otherwise the first, non-individualized information is supplied. Authorized destinations (24) receive the individualized information possibly mixed with some or all non-individualized information, where non-authorized destinations (24) will only receive the non-individualized information.
