背景
设备功能的整合或技术融合是当今大势所趋。技术融合描述了不同的技术系统朝执行类似任务的方向发展的趋势。随着人们使用越来越多的设备,携带这些设备、充电、更新设备上的软件等等也给人们带来了越来越多的不便。为解决这些问题,技术公司将不同设备的功能整合到一或两台多功能设备上。例如,现在的手机,上网、拍照、日历显示等功能一应俱全。
整合趋势正在影响着家用设备的设计和功能。例如,收音机可以访问互联网,数字录像机可以储存或展示数字相片等。但在家用音响/视频系统中电视仍然是核心设备,因为电视的显示功能无法整合到其他设备中。因此,整合家用设备推动了将其他功能和功能性整合到电视当中。智能电视的出现证明了将其他功能整合到电视中去的趋势。
智能电视一般被理解为把访问互联网和Web2.0的功能整合到电视机中去的设备。智能电视代表着计算机和电视机技术融合的趋势。智能电视一般侧重于在线互动媒体、互联网电视和点播式流媒体,而不是传统的广播媒体。很可惜,大部分智能电视至今尚未能提供无缝和直观的用户界面,以浏览和/或执行智能电视的各种功能。因此,在整合功能并在智能电视上运用这些功能方面仍然存在许多问题。

本披露内容介绍许多优点,具体视特定的方面、实例和/配置而定。用户可以通过来自多个EPG信息源的聚集的信息获得详细准确的节目信息。EPG信息可包含新信息,详细程度也有所不同。用户可以获得专为其兴趣和需要量身定制的时间表和其他电视节目信息。用户可以获得除标准节目以外的其他媒体的额外内容。
本披露内容将明确说明这些和其他优点。
“至少一个”、“一个或多个”以及“和/或”这类措词是开放式表达,在运用时既可以表示结合的也可以表示分离的。例如,“A、B和C中至少一个”、“A、B或C中至少一个”、“A、B和C中的一个或多个”、“A、B或C中的一个或多个”以及“A、B和/或C”均可以单指A、单指B、单指C,指A和B两者、指A和C两者、指B和C两者,或指A、B和C三者。
“一个”实体可以指一个或多个该实体。因此,在本文中可以交换使用“一个”、“一个或多个”和“至少一个”。此外,还必须注意“包括”、“包含”和“具有”也可以交换使用。
在本文中“自动的”这一术语及其变通说法是指执行过程或操作时无须实质性人力投入即可完成的任何过程或操作。但是,即使是使用了实质性的人力投入,如果这种投入是在执行过程或操作之前发生,那么也应视为是自动的。如果这种人力投入影响到过程或操作的执行方式,则应视为实质性。执行过程或操作的人力投入不视为“实质性”。
“博客”(又称为“网络日志”)是一种网站或网站的一部分,不时会有新内容补充。博客通常由个人维护,如定期添加评论、活动描述或图片、视频等其他材料。这些内容通常按时间倒序显示。
“博客服务”是指一种发表博客的服务,可以让私人或多位用户发表带时间标记的博客。
“有线电视”是指一种通过同轴电缆以射频(RF)信号或通过光纤电缆以光脉冲信号将电视节目传送给用户的系统。这种方式与传统的广播电视(地面电视)不同,在传统的广播电视中,电视信号是通过无线电波在空中传送出去并通过电视上的电视天线接收的。
本文中使用的术语“频道”或“电视频道”可以是实体频道,也可以是虚拟频道,他们都是电视台或电视网络传送节目的路径。模拟电视中的实体频道有一定的带宽量,一般是6、7或8MHz,占用预定频道频率。在有线或卫星电视中,虚拟频道是特定电视媒体提供商(例如CDS、TNT、HBO等电视台)的数据流的代表。

第二个热键792可能会显示所有的或较少的输入。换言之,热键792允许用户显示所有输入(包括未连接/未发现的输入)和隐藏未连接/未发现的输入,例如扩展和收起筒仓/输入列表。每个输入源都必须为两个状态中的一个,即已连接/已发现和未连接/未发现。某些输入源(包括直播电视、视频点播、媒体中心和应用程序中心)始终显示为已连接/已发现。
遥控器700底部的可移动操纵杆900可以使智能电视100上的图像按一定比例量移动。换言之,所显示的图像将随着遥控器底壳712中的操作杆900在操纵杆孔径904中的移动而显著地移动。如图9B-C所示,操纵杆900可向前和向后移动或滑动。释放操纵杆900将使操纵杆900返回到图9A所示的中心位置,视窗将向上移动或滑动(当操纵杆从图9B所示的操纵杆位置释放时)或向下移动或滑动(当操纵杆从图9C所示的操纵杆位置释放时)直到消失不见,如图11A所示。在智能电视100屏幕上的效果如图11A-C所示。在图11A中,视频内容(如电视节目、视频、电视等)在屏幕212的正面显示。在图11B中,操纵杆900移动或滑动到图9B所示的上半部分,在屏幕212顶部的下拉视窗或面板1100将向下移动或滑动(和操纵杆900的移动速率基本一样)。在图11C中,操纵杆900移动或滑动到图9C所示的下半部分,在屏幕212的底部的上拉视窗或面板1100将向上移动或滑动(和操纵杆900的移动速率基本一样)。视窗1100部分遮掩在屏幕212其余部分显示的视频内容和/或使屏幕212显示视频内容的那一部分沿着视窗1100的高度向上或向下移动和/或压缩。
视窗100可包含一项或多项信息(一般是和目前显示图像和/或内容( 如面板导航栏、详细信息(例如标题、日期/时间、音频/视频指示符、评定等级和风格)、热键栏(定义热键目前的功能联想))、浏览请求和/或搜索请求相关的信息)。一般而言,视窗1100包含和内容相关的恰当信息(如名称、持续时间和/或余下的内容浏览时间)、设置信息、电视或系统控制信息、应用程序(激活)图标(如预安装和/或下载的应用程序,包括应用程序中心、媒体中心和网页浏览器等)和/或关于输入源的信息。当操纵杆900位于向前或向后位置时,用户可以选择遥控器正面的促动器(如确定按钮764),以从屏幕212上的显示图像转到用户界面的另一个位置,如桌面。这可以通过非侵入性方式完成,而不影响内容的上传或下载过程。附加地或不同地,操纵杆900从一侧移到另一侧,使视窗在屏幕212的左侧或右侧显示。
另一种促动器配置如图10所示。除社交网络按钮1000外,促动器基本和图7-9相同,选择该按钮将自动选择内容并通过社交网络服务或其他社交媒体发布到社交网络或在线社区。用户或观众评论和/或其他消息可以包含在出站消息中。例如,所有或一帧或数帧或部分媒体内容(如视频、音乐、相片、图片或文本)将自动通过Linked-InTM、MyspaceTM、TwitterTM、YouTubeTM、DailyMotionTM、FacebookTM或Second LifeTM提供给预定义或选定的人群。激活按钮1000后,用户可以选择社交论坛或媒体,从而发布选定的内容(激活社交网络按钮1000时向用户显示的内容)和/或发布给预定义的社交媒体中的群体。或者,用户也可以预配置或预选择这些选项。
社交网络按钮也可以用于“增加”或“降低”社交容量可视化。智能电视100可以从各种社交网络中动态创建可视化的聚合连接(和入站和/或出站消息)。聚合(和入站和出站消息)可在屏幕上作为影响观众用户的一个连接集合用图形描述。通过社交容量可视化,社交联系人的每个连接的社交网络配置文件中选择的内容(和来自或发送至连接的社交联系人的入站和/或出站消息和/或社交联系人的目前活动(例如正在和观众观看相同的内容))可以使用不同的标题(或直观显示的对象)显示。标题的大小可以和任何数量的标准相关,包括连接的社交联系人的关系(例如关系的相对重要性或类型决定着标题的相对大小),连接的社交联系人对目前观众的影响程度,连接的社交联系人对目前观众的地理邻近性,观众和连接的社交联系人对目前提供的媒体内容的感兴趣程度(例如双方都喜欢战争电影、谋杀悬疑电影、音乐剧、喜剧等),观众对所连接观众评定的等级,连接观众和社交联系人的社交网络的类型,社交网络联系人的目前活动(例如正在和观众观看相同的内容),连接的社交联系人目前的在线或离线状态,观众和连接的社交联系人从属的网络分组类型或类别(如同事、好友、家庭成员等)。
观众可以指定屏幕的一部分以描述社交网络聚合。通过增加(+)或减少(-)社交容量,观众可以增加向观众提供的连接联系人标题的大小和/或数量。换言之,通过增加社交容量,观众可以观看、访问和/或从其社交网络中推送较多智能电视储存器中与其相关的社交内容。通过减少社交容量,观众将观看、访问和/或从其社交网络中推送较少社交内容。通过选择静音按钮724,观众可以停止或暂停任何与其社交网络的互动(如入站或出站消息)。社交容量和/或静音可以分隔为两个(或多个)容量设置,用于出站和入站社交网络活动。例如,第一个容量设置、控件和/或按钮可以控制出站社交网络活动的容量(如出站社交消息),第二个(不同的)容量设置、控件和/或按钮可以控制入站社交网络活动的容量(如入站社交消息)。作为进一步举例说明,第一个静音设置、控件和/或按钮可以停止或暂停出站社交网络活动(如出站社交消息),而第二个(不同的)静音设置、控件和/或按钮可以停止或暂停入站社交网络活动(如入站社交消息)。
遥控器的功能方框图如图12所示。遥控器700包含控制器1208(控制和监督遥控器操作)、可选的无线(射频)收发器1224和天线1244(发送送往和接收来自智能电视100和其他外置组件的无线信号)、可选的红外线发射器1228(发射红外信号到智能电视100)、可选的发光二级管或LED驱动器1232(控制LED操作以提供视频反馈信息给用户)、促动器1220(包括上述图7和10的各种按钮和其他促动器)和操纵杆900,全部通过总线1248实现互连。板载电源1200和电源管理模块1204通过电源电路1240供电给上述各个组件。智能电视系统100上的红外线发射器1228和接收器(图中未显示)可用于确定红外线信号照亮的显示对象从而调整显示图像,例如指示用户的焦点(如照亮显示对象或显示屏幕上光标相对于显示对象的位置),以及用于确定和激活用户需要的命令。这可以通过追踪遥控器相对于智能电视100屏幕上或邻近的红外线追踪参考点(例如感应条或红外线LED)的位置完成。运动追踪可以使用来自遥控器(未显示)的板载多轴陀螺仪和/或加速器的位置信息进一步扩展。
EPG显示
图14A-C显示了依照一个智能电视实例的示范性全屏EPG显示。
智能电视100为获取和显示各种电视节目的EPG信息提供支持。数据管理600包含EPG源插件648,用于收集不同来源的EPG信息。EPG信息依照EPG数据模型608由EPG子服务624进行处理并储存在数据库636中。因此,收集到的EPG信息可以通过显示屏212接入和显示,以全屏显示或局部覆盖在正在播放的电视节目和/或其他内容之上。
EPG信息可以从各种来源收集。内容提供商(如无线、有线和/或卫星频道)可能会将EPG信息嵌入发送给用户的内容馈送中(如作为主内容馈送的子频道)。在EPG信息嵌入内容馈送方面,由于技术(如有限带宽)和内容(如第三方生成EPG内容的权利)限制,内容提供商嵌入内容馈送中的EPG信息也许只包含有限的信息。
互联网也是EPG信息的一个来源。各种EPG信息通过互联网发送到直接连接互联网的设备或计算机。互联网发送的EPG信息通常包含比嵌入内容馈送中的EPG信息更加详细的电视节目信息(如详细的节目介绍、节目评论、时间表和将来的节目编排)。而且,互联网发送的EPG信息还可能包含非文本内容,如预览图、视频和声音。
其他来源也可提供EPG信息。在某些例子中,馈送集合(如有线或卫星电视)可能包含专门显示EPG信息的特定频道。这些EPG频道可能包含模拟或数字信号的视频显示,这些视频显示包含EPG信息(如图表形式的节目时间表)。其他例子可能包含EPG信息列表的馈送(如用于机顶盒或数字录像机(DVR))。
参考图14A,显示屏1400A是依照一个实例的EPG的示范性全屏显示屏。显示屏1400A包含一个或多个时间表部分1403A、热键部分1404A、横幅部分1402A和直播电视预览部分1401A。
