Abstract:
A system and method is provided for use in connection with delivering content that is targeted to users of a broadcast network. In order to select content that is targeted to users of the broadcast network, signals are received from a plurality of customer premise equipment devices (CPEs) of the network users via a broadcast network interface. Based on the received signals, broadcast assets (e.g., programming, advertisements etc.) are selected from a collection of available asset options. Accordingly, at least a portion of the selected assets are inserted into a content stream of the broadcast network. Once the content stream is broadcast over a broadcast network interface, at least a portion of the selected assets area available for receipt by at least a portion of the CPEs. The CPEs generate reports regarding assets delivered such that asset providers can be billed based on guaranteed targeted impressions.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic apparatus control system which facilitates the setting of program setting information with respect to each of a plurality of electronic apparatuses connected to the network. SOLUTION: In each of other electronic apparatuses (for example, television receivers 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d), a CPU 151 sends program viewing history information to a specified electronic apparatus (for example, a mobile phone 2). In the specified electronic apparatus, a CPU 241 displays the received program viewing history information on a displaying portion 22 and sends program setting information set and inputted by a key input portion 23 to the other electronic apparatuses. In each of the other electronic apparatuses, the CPU 151 renews the program setting information in a program setting information storage memory 155 based on the received program setting information.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a transmitter and a receiver capable of transmitting and receiving attribute information of a program while maintaining a high level of secrecy. Specifically, a transmitter (100) in a transmission and reception system comprising the transmitter (100) for transmitting program contents (21) and attribution information (22) of the program and a receiver (200) for receiving the program contents (21) and accumulating part or whole of the program contents (21) transmits meaning information (24) indicating the meaning and contents of the attribute information (22) in addition to the attribute information (22).
Abstract:
A method of updating age restriction settings for content on a mobile communication terminal, the method comprising requesting authentication data, in response to determining that a first age restriction value associated with a first content on the mobile communication terminal is greater than a first threshold value; and providing the first content via the mobile communication terminal and setting the first threshold value equal to the first age restriction value, in response to determining that the authentication data is valid.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for previewing broadcasting data on a mobile terminal are provided. When a user selected broadcast channel is an authority-restricted channel, data associated with the selected broadcast channel is output according to a presence or non-presence of a preview authority for the selected broadcast channel.
Abstract:
An electronic equipment control system including a plurality of pieces of electric equipments connected with one another through a network. A piece of electric equipment among the plurality of pieces of electric equipments comprises: a setting and inputting unit to set and input broadcast content setting information regarding view of a broadcast content; a broadcast content setting information storage unit to store the broadcast content setting information; a transmission unit to transmit the broadcast content setting information set and input by the setting and inputting unit to another piece of electric equipment connected to the network; a reception unit to receive the broadcast content setting information transmitted from another piece of electric equipment connected to the network; and an update unit to update the broadcast content setting information stored in the broadcast content setting information storage unit based on the broadcast content setting information received by the reception unit.
Abstract:
A digital broadcasting system and method of processing data therein are disclosed. A receiving system of the digital broadcasting system includes a baseband processor unit receiving a broadcast signal including mobile service data and main service data, the mobile service data configuring an RS frame, the RS frame including the mobile service data and at least one signaling information data describing rating information of the mobile service data, a management processor unit obtaining the rating information of the mobile service data by parsing the signaling information data from the RS frame, the management processor unit determining a presence or non-presence of a viewing restriction by comparing the obtained rating information of the mobile service data to viewing restriction rating information set by a user, and a presentation processor unit blocking the mobile service data if the viewing restriction of the mobile service data is determined.
