    摘要: Commercials are recommended for insertion into audio and/or video programs. A two-step linking between the user (205) and a set of commercials (260, 262, 264, 266) is provided. A preference score indicates how much the user likes each of the programs (210, 212, 214, 216, 218). This can be achieved, e.g., using a program recommender (160). A commercial classifier (170) uses the advertiser's knowledge to provide a correlation factor that indicates an effectiveness of a commercial relative to a program. An effectiveness metric (E) may be obtained for each commercial that indicates the effectiveness of the commercial relative to the specific user by summing, over each program, a product of the preference score and the correlation factor.

    摘要: Commercials (200) such as television commercials are augmented by obtaining additional information (300) regarding an advertised product or service from a remote server (182, 184, 192, 194, 195) via a computer network (180) such as the Internet. Commercials are identified and descriptive information is extracted (170). The descriptive information may indicate, e.g., the type of commercial. A user provides preferences (400, 500) regarding commercials via an interface. The preferences may indicate a desired level of detail (500) for the additional information. For commercials whose descriptive information corresponds with the user preference, the computer network is searched to located additional information, e.g., in the form of a web page or link (300). The additional information may relate to promotions, availability, and specifications of an advertised product or service.

    摘要: A broadcast system 100 for broadcasting at least one title using a near-video-on-demand broadcasting protocol includes a plurality of broadcast receivers 150. A hierarchical network of data distributors starts from a central distributor 110 through at least one layer of intermediate distributors 120, 130, 140 to the broadcast receivers for broadcasting the title as a sequence of data blocks. A least one filter controller 180 receives requests from broadcast receivers for the supply of the title and controls at least one intermediate distributor to filter out data blocks of the title that have not been requested by receivers hierarchically below the intermediate distributor.
