Abstract
Description
Es ist bekannt, daß den Zuschauern bzw. Zuhörern von Fernseh- bzw. Radioprogrammen nur die von den jeweiligen Sendern ausgestrahlten Programmvorschauen, die gedruckten Programmübersichten in Zeitungen und Zeitschriften, sowie die Programmübersichten über Videotext bzw. Bildschirmtext als Informationsgrundlage für die Auswahl einzelner Sendungen zur Verfügung stehen.It is known that viewers or listeners to television or Radio programs only those broadcast by the respective stations Program previews, the printed program overviews in newspapers and Magazines, as well as the program overviews via teletext or Screen text as information base for the selection of individual Shipments are available.
Im Bereich der digitalen Verbreitung von Radioprogrammen wird neuerdings lediglich ein Verfahren angewandt, das dem Zuhörer nur die Zugehörigkeit der gerade ausgestrahlten Sendung zu einer von wenigen Grob-Kategorien (z. B. Information, Klassik, Unterhaltung usw.) im Display des Empfängergerätes als Schlagwort anzeigt und nur die sofortige Auswahl dieser wenigen Grob-Kategorien ermöglicht.In the field of digital broadcasting of radio programs is recently just applied a procedure that the listener only belonging of the program currently being broadcast in one of a few rough categories (e.g. information, classic, entertainment, etc.) on the display of the Displays the receiver device as a keyword and only the immediate selection of these few rough categories.
Diese Grobzuordnung von Sendungen ist jedoch bislang auf Radiosender beschränkt und bezieht sich nur auf augenblicklich ausgestrahlte Sendungen. Somit ist keine detaillierte inhaltliche Auswahl der aktuellen Sendungen - noch weniger eine detaillierte Vorauswahl von Sendungen aus den Programmangeboten mehrerer Sender für mehrere Tage im voraus möglich. So far, however, this rough allocation of programs has been on radio stations limited and refers only to those currently broadcast Broadcasts. So there is no detailed selection of the current content Shipments - even less a detailed preselection of shipments the programs of several channels for several days in advance possible.
Es ist ersichtlich, daß die Anzahl der Fernseh- bzw. Radioprogramme, die über Antenne, Kabel und Satellit o. a. empfangen werden können, stark gestiegen ist bzw. noch weiter steigen wird und damit ebenso die Anzahl der angebotenen Sendungen. Die Übersicht über das gesamte Programmangebot und die Auswahl individuell interessierender Sendungen ist für den Zuhörer bzw. Zuschauer zu einer zeitaufwendigen, wenn nicht sogar unlösbaren Aufgabe geworden.It can be seen that the number of television or radio programs that via antenna, cable and satellite or the like can be received, strong has risen or will continue to rise, and with it the number of the programs offered. The overview of the whole Programs and the selection of programs of individual interest is a time-consuming if not for the listener or viewer even become unsolvable task.
Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, daß es für den Zuhörer bzw. Zuschauer von Radio- bzw. Fernsehsendungen einen großen Zeitaufwand erfordert, aus der Fülle der Programmangebote die potentiell für ihn interessanten Sendungen auszuwählen. Das führt dazu, daß es für den Teilnehmer nicht möglich ist, sich einen raschen Überblick über die für ihn interessanten Sendungen zum jeweiligen Zeitpunkt oder im voraus über einen Zeitraum von mehreren Tagen zu verschaffen, eine ihn interessierende Sendung nicht zu "verpassen" bzw. zusätzlich im voraus den automatisierten Mitschnitt von ihn interessierenden Sendungen auf geeigneten Aufzeichnungsgeräten zu veranlassen.The invention is based on the problem that it is for the listener or Viewers of radio or television programs spend a lot of time requires from the plethora of program offerings that are potentially for him to select interesting programs. This leads to it being for the Participants are unable to get a quick overview of what is going on for them interesting programs at the respective time or in advance via a Period of several days, one that interests him Not to "miss" the program or in addition to the automated recording of programs of interest to him suitable recording devices.
Die mit dieser Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen darin, daß der Rundfunkteilnehmer mit einem sehr geringen Zeitaufwand für einen definierten Zeitraum im voraus eine detaillierte, interessenbezogene Übersicht über die in den Rundfunkprogrammen (für Radio und Fernsehen) angebotenen Sendungen gewinnen kann, weiterhin, daß er eine sichere Handhabung erhält, keine persönlich interessierende Sendung zu übersehen bzw. zu "verpassen".The advantages achievable with this invention are that Broadcasters with very little time for one defined period in advance a detailed, interest-related Overview of those in the radio programs (for radio and television) offered programs can continue to win that he is a safe Receives handling, not to overlook a personally interesting shipment or "miss".
Die Erfindung löst das dargestellte Problem durch ein Programmselektorsystem, das sich in drei Teile gliedert: die Sendezentrale, die Übertragung der kodierten Informationen auf verschiedenen Übertragungswegen und den Selektor beim Teilnehmer. The invention solves the problem presented by Program selector system, which is divided into three parts: the broadcast center, the transmission of the encoded information on different Transmission paths and the selector at the participant.
In der Sendezentrale des Programmselektorsystems werden die Informationsangaben über alle Sendungen der Radio- und Fernsehsender manuell bzw. automatisiert gesammelt, in Kurzbeschreibungen gefaßt und inhaltlich klassifiziert und kodiert. Die Klassifizierung der Sendungen erfolgt hierarchisch in Ober-, Unter- und Detailkategorien. Bei der Kodierung wird für jede einzelne Sendung ein Klassifizierungscode unter Einbeziehung charakteristischer Angaben wie z. B. Inhalts-, Autoren-, Darsteller- und Jahresangaben von der Sendezentrale erstellt. Der Klassifizierungscode, die formalen Sendungsangaben (z. B. Titel, Kanal, Sendezeit) und die Informationstexte jeder Sendung werden zu einem sendungsspezifischen Informationsitem zusammengefaßt, welches anhand des Klassifizierungscodes inhaltlich automatisch identifiziert werden kann.In the broadcast center of the program selector system, the Information about all broadcasts by radio and television stations collected manually or automatically, summarized in brief descriptions and classified and coded in terms of content. The classification of the shipments takes place hierarchically in upper, lower and detail categories. In the Coding is a classification code for each individual shipment Inclusion of characteristic information such as B. content, author, Actor and year data created by the broadcasting center. The Classification code, the formal shipment details (e.g. Title, channel, broadcast time) and the information texts of each broadcast become summarized a program-specific information item, which be automatically identified based on the classification code can.
Wenn aus organisatorischen Gründen oder aufgrund veränderter Teilnehmerwünsche die Klassifizierungscodes (Einführung/Veränderung von Kategorien) oder die Sendungsangaben generell modifiziert werden sollen, werden diese kategorialen Änderungen von der Sendezentrale als Umprogrammierung über die definierten Übertragungswege an den Selektor übermittelt.If for organizational reasons or due to changed Participant requests the classification codes (introduction / change of Categories) or the shipment details should be modified in general, are these categorical changes from the broadcast center as Reprogramming via the defined transmission paths to the selector transmitted.
Die kodierten Informationsitems sowie der Interessenfragebogen können dem Teilnehmer auf folgenden Übertragungswegen übermittelt werden:The coded information items as well as the interest questionnaire can Participants are transmitted via the following transmission channels:
Die Übertragung erfolgt entweder im Huckepack-Verfahren (z. B. in der Austastlücke, per Videotext, Videodat) zusammen mit der Übertragung von Radio- bzw. Fernsehprogrammen (z. B. über terrestrische Ausstrahlung, Kabel oder Satellit) oder über einen gesamten Sendekanal außerhalb der Sendezeit (z. B. zur Nachtzeit).The transfer takes place either in the piggyback process (e.g. in the Blanking intervals, via teletext, video data) together with the transmission of Radio or television programs (e.g. via terrestrial broadcasting, cables or satellite) or over an entire broadcast channel outside of broadcast time (e.g. at night).
Die Übertragung der Informationsitems kann alternativ auch aktiv vom Teilnehmer oder automatisch vom Selektor über einen elektronischen Datendienst (z. B. über Bildschirmtext, E-Mail) abgerufen werden. Weiterhin kann die Übermittlung der Informationsitems in Form von Item-Paketen an den Teilnehmer auch mittels materieller Datenträger (Print mit Barcodes oder elektronische Speichermedien wie z. B. Diskette) über den Postweg oder über den Handel erfolgen; die Item-Pakete werden dann vom Teilnehmer in seinen Selektor eingelesen. The transmission of the information items can alternatively also be active from Participants or automatically from the selector via an electronic Data service (e.g. via screen text, email) can be accessed. Farther can send the information items in the form of item packages the participant also by means of material data carriers (print with barcodes or electronic storage media such as B. diskette) by mail or done through trade; the item packages are then in by the participant read his selector.
Die Übertragung kann von der Zentrale in verschlüsselter Form erfolgen, um den Zugang zum Programmselektorsystem zu kontrollieren. Dabei kann zur Sicherung gegen nicht autorisierten Zugriff ein kurzfristiger Wechsel der Verschlüsselungscodes, z. B. durch die Verwendung von Chipkarten, erreicht werden.The control center can transmit the data in encrypted form. to control access to the program selector system. It can a short-term change to protect against unauthorized access the encryption codes, e.g. B. through the use of smart cards, can be achieved.
Im Selektor, der beim Teilnehmer als Zusatzgerät zu Radio-, Fernseh- und Aufzeichnungsgeräten aufgestellt oder in diese Geräte direkt integriert ist, erfolgt auf der Basis der von der Sendezentrale übermittelten Informationsitems die automatisierte Vorauswahl der den Teilnehmer interessierenden Sendungen und zugehörigen Informationen aus dem gesamten Programmangebot. Dies geschieht über folgende Einzelfunktionen:In the selector, which the participant uses as an additional device for radio, television and Recording devices installed or directly integrated into these devices, takes place on the basis of those transmitted by the broadcasting center Information items the automated pre-selection of the participants programs of interest and related information from the entire range of programs. This is done using the following individual functions:
Auf der Grundlage eines Interessenfragebogens wird einmalig für eine Nutzungsperiode ein persönliches Interessenprofil erstellt. Die Erstellung des Interessenprofils erfolgt im Selektor mittels eines interaktiven Dialogs zwischen Teilnehmer und Selektor, indem der von der Sendezentrale auf einem der definierten Übertragungswege zum Selektor übermittelte Interessenfragebogen über eines der Präsentationsmedien (z. B. Bildschirm, LCD-Display) vom Teilnehmer abgerufen und mittels eines Eingabemediums (z. B. alphanumerische Tastatur, Fernbedienung, Lichtgriffel, Barcodelesestift) beantwortet wird, wobei die Beantwortung jeder einzelnen Interessenfrage in Menüform und Multiple-Choice-Technik im Selektor die Einspeicherung eines definierten antwortspezifischen Bitmusters veranlaßt, so daß sich für jeden Teilnehmer eine individuelle Kombination aus mehreren verschiedenen Bitmustern ergibt, welche das individuelle Interessenprofil des Teilnehmers darstellt, das bei mehreren Teilnehmern je Selektor mit einem persönlichen Kodewort geschützt werden kann. Ferner kann der Interessenfragebogen dem Teilnehmer mittels Menütechnik unterschiedliche hierarchische Niveaus seiner Interessenspezifizierung anhand der von der Sendezentrale erstellten Klassifizierungsregeln ermöglichen.On the basis of a questionnaire of interest is unique for one Period of use creates a personal interest profile. The creation The interest profile takes place in the selector by means of an interactive dialog between the subscriber and the selector by clicking on the from the broadcast center one of the defined transmission paths to the selector Interest questionnaire via one of the presentation media (e.g. screen, LCD display) accessed by the participant and using an input medium (e.g. alphanumeric keyboard, remote control, light pen, Barcode reader pen) is answered, answering each one Question of interest in menu form and multiple-choice technique in the selector Causes a defined response-specific bit pattern to be stored, so that there is an individual combination for each participant results in several different bit patterns, which the individual Representation of interest of the participant, that with several participants each Selector can be protected with a personal code word. Further the questionnaire of interest to the participant using menu technology different hierarchical levels of his interest specification based on the classification rules created by the broadcasting center enable.
Die auf einem der Übertragungswege aus der Sendezentrale erhaltenen Informationsitems werden im Selektor sukzessiv technisch entschlüsselt und der Klassifizierungscode jedes sendungsspezifischen Informationsitems wird automatisch mit jedem einzelnen Bitmuster des Interessenprofils des Teilnehmers verglichen. Dieser Vergleich kann sukzessiv für die Interessenprofile mehrerer Teilnehmer (z. B. Familienmitglieder) erfolgen. The received on one of the transmission paths from the broadcast center Information items are successively decoded technically in the selector and the classification code of each broadcast-specific information item automatically with every single bit pattern of the interest profile of the Participant compared. This comparison can be done successively for the Interest profiles of several participants (e.g. family members).
Bei diesem Vergleichsvorgang werden jeweils nur jene Informationsitems in den digitalen Speicher des Selektors übertragen, bei denen sich eine Koinzidenz ihres Klassifizierungscodes mit einem im Selektor vorgespeicherten Bitmuster des Interessenprofils ergibt. Die auf diese Weise im Selektor gespeicherten Informationsitems können nachfolgend entsprechend der turnusmäßigen Übermittlung von neuen Informationsitems zum Teilnehmer aus der Sendezentrale aktualisiert werden; hingegen werden die nicht mehr aktuellen Informationsitems automatisch gelöscht.In this comparison process, only those information items are in each case transfer the digital memory of the selector, in which a Your classification code coincides with one in the selector results in pre-stored bit patterns of the interest profile. That way Information items stored in the selector can subsequently according to the regular transmission of new information items be updated to the subscriber from the broadcast center; against it the outdated information items are automatically deleted.
Der Teilnehmer kann nun die für ihn im Selektor gespeicherten Informationsitems, welche die formalen Sendungsangaben und Informationstexte zu vorselektierten Sendungen enthalten, auf einem der definierten Präsentationsmedien einzeln oder zu Gruppen (z. B. inhaltlichen, zeitlichen oder kanalbezogenen Gruppen) zusammengefaßt mittels Menütechnik in verschiedenen Detailstufen abrufen und editieren, d. h. er kann vorselektierte Sendungen streichen, bestätigen, für den automatischen Mitschnitt oder für andere Steuerfunktionen markieren oder seinen individuellen Programmplan, je nach technischer Ausrüstung, ausdrucken.The participant can now save those saved for him in the selector Information items that include the formal shipment details and Contain information texts on preselected programs on one of the defined presentation media individually or in groups (e.g. content, temporal or channel-related groups) summarized by means of Call up and edit menu technology in various levels of detail, d. H. he can delete preselected items, confirm them for automatic Mark recording or for other control functions or his Print out the individual program plan, depending on the technical equipment.
Die Nutzung der Steuerfunktionen ermöglicht es, daß der Teilnehmer vom Selektor auf markierte Sendungen aus seinem persönlichen Programmplan durch optische oder akustische Signale kurz vor Beginn einer Sendung hingewiesen wird; der Hinweis kann optional auch durch Einblendung des Titels und Programmplatzes der ausgewählten Sendung in das laufende Fernsehprogramm über den Fernsehbildschirm erfolgen.The use of the control functions enables the participant from Selector for marked programs from his personal program schedule through optical or acoustic signals shortly before the start of a program is pointed out; the note can optionally also be shown by displaying the Title and program position of the selected program in the current TV program on the television screen.
Die vom Teilnehmer für den Mitschnitt markierten Sendungen werden durch eine automatische Steuerung des Aufzeichnungsgeräts aufgezeichnet, wobei VPS-Daten in die Steuerung einbezogen werden können.The programs marked by the participant for the recording are marked by recorded automatic control of the recorder, wherein VPS data can be included in the controller.
Diese Steuerfunktionen können aktuell oder für einen frei definierten Zeitraum im voraus in Anspruch genommen werden, der dadurch begrenzt ist, inwieweit die Informationsitems von der Sendezentrale bereits übermittelt und im Selektor gespeichert sind.These control functions can be current or for a freely defined one Period can be used in advance, which limits it is to what extent the information items from the broadcast center already transmitted and stored in the selector.
Fig. 1 zeigt die einzelnen Bestandteile des Selektors und deren Funktionsbezug. Fig. 1 shows the individual components of the selector and their functional relationship.
Der Selektor (10) beim Teilnehmer ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil des gesamten Selektorsystems. Der Selektor besteht aus einem Mikroprozessor (3) mit Speicher (4) sowie Ein- und Ausgabebausteinen.The participant's selector ( 10 ) is an integral part of the entire selector system. The selector consists of a microprocessor ( 3 ) with memory ( 4 ) and input and output modules.
In der Initialisierungsphase des Selektors wird in einem interaktiven Dialog des Teilnehmers mit dem Selektor durch Beantwortung eines Fragekatalogs - eventuell ergänzt durch Stichworteingaben - das persönliche Interessensprofil für den jeweiligen Teilnehmer erstellt. Technisch verläuft dieser Dialog vom Teilnehmer über die Eingabetastatur (9) zum Mikroprozessor (3) und von dort zurück über den Bildschirmcontroller (6) zum Fernsehgerät (8). Das resultierende Interessensprofil (Kombination der Bitmuster für jede Einzelantwort) wird als Referenz für die spätere Selektion persönlich interessierender Sendungen im Speicher (4) abgelegt.In the initialization phase of the selector, the participant's interactive interest profile is created in an interactive dialog with the selector by answering a questionnaire - possibly supplemented by key words - for the respective participant. Technically, this dialogue runs from the participant via the input keyboard ( 9 ) to the microprocessor ( 3 ) and from there back via the screen controller ( 6 ) to the television set ( 8 ). The resulting interest profile (combination of the bit patterns for each individual response) is stored in the memory ( 4 ) as a reference for the later selection of programs of personal interest.
In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel wird davon ausgegangen, daß die Übertragung der kodierten Informationen mittels des Videodat-Verfahrens über einen normalen Fernsehkanal zu festgelegter Nachtzeit erfolgt. Ferner wird davon ausgegangen, daß der Selektor in der Weise in ein Fernsehgerät (8) integriert ist, daß der eingebaute Tuner (1) des Fernsehgeräts (10) mitbenutzt wird und dem Selektor das fertig aufbereitete FBAS-Signal zugeführt wird. In das Fernsehgerät (10) ist eine Automatik integriert, die zu einer programmierten Nachtzeit automatisch den Tuner (1) auf einen vorbestimmten Programmplatz einstellt und den Selektor aktiviert.In this exemplary embodiment it is assumed that the coded information is transmitted by means of the video data method over a normal television channel at a specified night time. Furthermore, it is assumed that the selector is integrated into a television set ( 8 ) in such a way that the built-in tuner ( 1 ) of the television set ( 10 ) is also used and the finished composite signal is fed to the selector. An automatic system is integrated into the television ( 10 ), which automatically sets the tuner ( 1 ) to a predetermined program position and activates the selector at a programmed night time.
Das FBAS-Signal wird vom Tuner (1) zunächst dem Videodat-Dekoder (2) zugeführt, wo die in den ersten Zeilen jedes Fernsehbildes verschlüsselt übertragenen Informationen wiedergewonnen und in aufbereiteter digitaler Form an den Mikroprozessor (3) übertragen werden. Im Mikroprozessor (3) werden diese Informationen mittels eines Vorwärtskorrekturverfahrens von evtl. Übertragungsfehlern bereinigt.The CVBS signal is first fed from the tuner ( 1 ) to the video data decoder ( 2 ), where the information transmitted in encrypted form in the first lines of each television picture is retrieved and transmitted to the microprocessor ( 3 ) in processed digital form. In the microprocessor ( 3 ), this information is cleared of any transmission errors using a forward correction method.
Die Informationsitems sind durch die Klassifizierungscodes gekennzeichnet. Die Klassifizierungscodes werden im Mikroprozessor (3) mit dem vorher durch den elektronischen Fragenkatalog ermittelten und im Speicher (4) gespeicherten individuellen Interessensprofil des Teilnehmers verglichen. The information items are identified by the classification codes. The classification codes are compared in the microprocessor ( 3 ) with the individual interest profile of the participant previously determined by the electronic questionnaire and stored in the memory ( 4 ).
Wird eine Koinzidenz zwischen dem empfangenen Klassifizierungscode eines Informationsitems und einem Bitmuster aus der gespeicherten Bitmusterkombination des Interessensprofils festgestellt, so wird das Informationsitem (Klassifizierungscode, nachfolgende formale Sendungsangaben und Informationstexte der Sendung) in den Speicher (4) übernommen; entsprechend werden mit dem gespeicherten Interessenprofil nicht übereinstimmende Kodierungen nicht in den Speicher (4) übernommen. Dieser Vorgang wiederholt sich, bis die Informationsitems für eine vollständige Sendeperiode übertragen sind und im Speicher der vorselektierte individuelle Programmplan für einen vordefinierten Zeitraum vorliegt.If a coincidence between the received classification code of an information item and a bit pattern from the stored bit pattern combination of the interest profile is determined, the information item (classification code, subsequent formal program details and information texts of the program) is transferred to the memory ( 4 ); Accordingly, codes that do not match the stored interest profile are not transferred to the memory ( 4 ). This process is repeated until the information items have been transmitted for a complete transmission period and the preselected individual program plan is available in the memory for a predefined period.
Nun kann der Teilnehmer den Selektor über die Eingabetastatur (9) veranlassen, den vorselektierten Programmplan über den Bildschirmcontroller (6) auf dem angeschlossenen Fernsehgerät (8) wiederzugeben, damit er die beschriebenen Editierfunktionen durchführen kann.Now the participant can cause the selector via the input keyboard ( 9 ) to display the preselected program plan via the screen controller ( 6 ) on the connected television ( 8 ) so that he can carry out the described editing functions.
Wird der Selektor nachfolgend in den Zeituhrbetrieb versetzt, so führt der Mikroprozessor (3) fortlaufend einen Vergleich zwischen der Anfangszeit (Uhrzeit und Datum) jeder Sendung, die im Speicher (4) abgelegt ist, und der von der Digitaluhr (6) ausgegebenen Uhrzeit sowie Datum durch. Sobald eine Koinzidenz mit der Anfangszeit einer Sendung und der aktuellen Uhrzeit vorliegt, veranlaßt der Mikroprozessor (3), je nachdem für welche Steuerfunktion die Sendung in der Editierphase markiert wurde, über eine Steuerleitung vom angeschlossenen Fernsehgerät (8) die Darbietung eines akustischen bzw. optischen Signals oder ggf. über den Bildschirmcontroller (6) die Einblendung der zugehörigen Sendungsangaben (Titel, Programmplatz) in das laufende Fernsehbild des Fernsehgeräts (8). Falls beim Editieren die betreffende Sendung vom Teilnehmer für den Mitschnitt markiert wurde und ein Videocassettenrecorder (VCR) (7) in Bereitschaftsstellung gebracht worden ist, wird dieser vom Mikroprozessor (3) über die Steuerleitung zur Aufzeichnung der entsprechenden Sendung veranlaßt. Die Abschaltung des Videorecorders erfolgt automatisch durch einen Vergleich der gespeicherten Endzeit der jeweiligen Sendung mit der eingebauten Digitaluhr (6). Unabhängig von der Nutzung dieser Funktionen ist es dem Teilnehmer möglich, die im Selektor zu jeder vorselektierten Sendung gespeicherten Informationstexte auf dem Fernsehgerät abzurufen. Im Mikroprozessor (3) wird fortlaufend ebenfalls jedes Informationsitem aus dem Speicher (4) durch Vergleich mit der eingebauten Digitaluhr (5) geprüft und sobald es zeitlich "verfallen" ist, aus dem Speicher (4) gelöscht.If the selector is subsequently set to clock mode, the microprocessor ( 3 ) continuously compares the start time (time and date) of each program stored in the memory ( 4 ) and the time output by the digital clock ( 6 ) and Date through. As soon as there is a coincidence with the start time of a program and the current time, the microprocessor ( 3 ), depending on the control function for which the program was marked in the editing phase, uses a control line from the connected television set ( 8 ) to present an acoustic or optical signal Signal or possibly via the screen controller ( 6 ) the insertion of the associated program information (title, program position) in the current television picture of the television set ( 8 ). If, during editing, the program in question has been marked for recording by the participant and a video cassette recorder (VCR) ( 7 ) has been brought into standby position, this is prompted by the microprocessor ( 3 ) via the control line to record the corresponding program. The video recorder is switched off automatically by comparing the saved end time of the respective program with the built-in digital clock ( 6 ). Regardless of the use of these functions, the participant is able to call up the information texts stored in the selector for each preselected program on the television set. In the microprocessor ( 3 ) each item of information from the memory ( 4 ) is also continuously checked by comparison with the built-in digital clock ( 5 ) and deleted from the memory ( 4 ) as soon as it has "expired".
