US 7962370 B2Abstract
In one embodiment of the present invention, a media service system provides at least one transaction configuration option that is enabled to be selected by a user. The media service system implements a transaction process in response to a user selection.
This application claims priority to U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60/214,987, filed Jun. 29, 2000, which is entirely incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention is generally related to television systems, and, more particularly, to the field of transaction options.
Media service systems have awakened, through advancements in transmission and communications technology, to provide subscribers with a plethora of media content never before possible. Along with the advent of a distribution of a wide variety of media content, comes a wide range of choices for the subscriber. Many advanced media service systems provide a programming guide to allow the subscriber to acquire information about the subscriber's media content choices.
The accompanying drawings, incorporated in and forming a part of the specification, illustrate several aspects of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and together with the description serve to explain the principles of the preferred embodiments of the invention. The components in the drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views. The reference numbers in the drawings have at least three digits with the two rightmost digits being reference numbers within a figure. The digits to the left of those digits are the number of the figure in which the item identified by the reference number first appears. For example, an item with reference number 209 first appears in FIG. 2. In the drawings:
The preferred embodiment of the present invention provides transaction configuration options to the users of a media service system. An option will be understood to include an element, which will provide a certain feature when selected. In a non-limiting example, this feature could provide a benefit to the users of the system or method described herein. A transaction will be understood to mean the action that takes place during the purchase of an item or a sequence of actions that take place during the purchase of an item. A transaction configuration option is an option that determines the action or sequence of actions that take place during the purchase of an item. A transaction process is understood to mean a process that transpires prior to the consummation of a purchase and that is instantiated by a user exercising a step or set of steps comprised in one or many transaction configuration options that were selected to determine the action or actions that take place during the purchase of an item. A user is understood to be anyone who utilizes the system or method described herein and can be, in accordance with various embodiments, an administrator or a subscriber. An administrator is typically one who controls the system or method described herein, such as, for example, a system operator located at a system headend. A subscriber is typically a customer or local user of a client device in the system or method described herein. Selections are indications of choices made by a user. A purchase refers to the act of buying an item, such as, for example, an entity, media content, or event, the act of renting an item for a period, and/or the act of gaining the right to view an item for a period of time. The term media is used synonymously with the term media content and is herein used to describe any type of entertainment, news, event, etc. that can be presented to a person.
In one embodiment of the current invention, the transaction configuration module 100 is enabled to configure transaction processes. The term “user” is used herein with reference to this embodiment to refer to administrators of the media service system 110, as well as subscribers of the media service system 110, and the configuration can be performed by either. The transaction configuration options module 100 is illustrated in FIG. 1 as an entity within client device 140A. It should be clear to one of ordinary skill in the art that the transaction configuration options module 100 could be implemented in various ways. Examples include, among others, an independent unit, a logic module within the client command device 160A, a software logic module within the STS headend 120, a module within the STS transmission system 130, or a logic module within any device in the media service system 110. Furthermore, a distributive transaction configuration module 100 could be implemented in various ways such as, for example but not limited to, part in the STS headend 120 and part in the client device 140A.
FIG. 4 is a diagram depicting an example of a client command device 160A in accordance with one embodiment of the current invention. Certain keys on the client command device 160A are utilized in many implementations of the subscriber user interface 180 (FIG. 1). In one implementation, the navigation pad 420 allows the subscriber to browse the subscriber user interface 180 (FIG. 1). In a non-limiting example, a free floating arrow, similar to a conventional personal computer mouse pointer, could be displayed and controlled by the navigation pad 420 on the client command device 160A. In another example, the arrows on the navigation pad 420 could enable the subscriber to cycle through selectable elements. In one implementation, pressing the right arrow on the navigation pad 420 causes the next selectable element on the screen to be highlighted or come into focus. When the element is shown as highlighted or in focus, then that element is currently active. In most implementations, the subscriber can perform a function on an element when it is active. In one implementation, when the subscriber strikes the select button 430 key, then the active element is selected. The select button 430 can be used for a variety of functions, examples including, among others, enabling a certain transaction configuration option, disabling a certain transaction configuration option, and maneuvering to different screens in the interface. In addition to the select button 430, there are other keys on the client command device 160A termed function keys 440. The function keys are used, among other things, for performing functions on non-highlighted elements. In one implementation, the “C” button of the function keys 440 can be pressed to exit from a particular screen.
FIG. 8 is a diagram of subscriber user interface 180D, an example implementation of subscriber user interface 180 (FIG. 1), depicting a reminder options 810 screen. This implementation of a reminder options 810 screen differs from the one depicted in FIG. 7 and potentially could be associated with different implementations of the media service system 110 (FIG. 1) or its applications. In this implementation, the user, either the administrator or the subscriber, is able to choose among available reminder options 810. The reminder options 810 screen shown in this figure allows the user to set five reminders. A reminder is activated by selecting its associated activation button, such as reminder #1 820 and activation button 850. If all are unselected, then no reminders will be provided to the subscriber regarding a purchase. In an example implementation, all reminders could be unselected when the subscriber is presented with the reminder options 810 screen for the first time. If the subscriber desired a reminder to be activated, then that subscriber could select the activation button associated with that reminder, such as activation button 850 associated with reminder #1 820. After enabling reminder #1 820 by selecting activation button 850, the subscriber can further define the reminder feature via the PIN required 830 field 831 and the time prior to event 840 field 841. In a non-limited example, the subscriber could dictate that reminder #1 820 have a PIN requirement by selecting the 831 field and toggling the response to YES. When the subscriber is subsequently prompted by the client device 140A (FIG. 1) with a reminder about a purchase, then that reminder will require the user to enter a PIN. If the subscriber enters the correct PIN, then the purchase process continues. If the PIN is incorrect, then the purchase may be voided and subscriber may not receive the item desired. In addition to setting a PIN requirement, the subscriber can also dictate or configure at what time a reminder is shown relative to the start time of a media content service or relative to the time that the purchase transaction was completed. In a non-limiting example, the subscriber can determine that reminder #1 820 require a reminder be shown to the subscriber at the start of the viewing of the requested media content, or in other words immediately prior to the start of the requested media content. The subscriber can change the time at which the reminder is shown by selecting the time prior to event 840 field 841 that is associated with reminder #1 820. The settings for time prior to event 840 range in this implementation from “At Start” to “1 week”. When a reminder is activated, it is assigned a default value for time prior to event 840. In one implementation, the administrator configures the default value and the range of available settings for time prior to event 840.
FIG. 10B is a diagram of subscriber user interface 180G, an example implementation of subscriber user interface 180 (FIG. 1), depicting a multiple PIN entries 1040 screen. The multiple PIN entries 1040 screen allows the subscriber to create the necessary PINs when a multiple PIN entry has been enabled. In one example implementation, the subscriber could enable the multiple PINs required 963 (FIG. 9) option in the video on demand transaction configuration options 910 (FIG. 9) interface screen depicted in FIG. 9. To implement this option, the media service system 110 (FIG. 1) might need to acquire the PINs from the user through the multiple PIN entries 1040 interface screen. When prompted with the multiple PIN entries 1040 screen, the subscriber could enter the desired authentication sequences into the prescribed areas for PIN #1 1050, PIN #2 1060, and PIN #3 1070. Once the subscriber had successfully entered the PINs into the appropriate areas, the subscriber could store those PINs in the media service system 110 (FIG. 1) by selecting the “A” 1080 key. In one implementation this “A” 1080 key could be one of the function keys 440 (FIG. 4) on client command device 160A (FIG. 4). Furthermore, the subscriber could use the client command device 160A (FIG. 4) select button 430 (FIG. 4) to activate the “SEL” 1090 icon and the navigation pad 420 (FIG. 4) to toggle between PINs for entry.
In a non-limiting example, the subscriber may have enabled a single execution transaction option. As previously described, a single execution transaction allows the subscriber to initiate and complete a purchase of an item by simply executing one action. This option provides a powerful tool for the subscriber, but in some instances, it may incur a risk of inadvertent purchases. To avoid such inadvertent purchases, the subscriber may choose to enable a notifier option. In one implementation, once the subscriber has enabled a notifier option, a notification will be displayed to that subscriber whenever a single execution transaction can be completed. The video on demand 1110 screen demonstrates a non-limiting example of the notifier option. It can be assumed for this example that the subscriber has previously enabled single execution transactions for VOD purchases. Thus, a notification icon 1100 is displayed when the subscriber is viewing the video on demand 1110 purchase screen depicted in FIG. 11. In this video on demand 1110 screen, the subscriber can browse through a list of available movies 1120. In one implementation, the subscriber could browse through the available movies by pressing the up and down arrows on the navigation pad 420 (FIG. 4) on the client command device 160A (FIG. 4). The subscriber could select a movie by pressing the select button 430 (FIG. 4). The subscriber could watch a preview of the movie in the video display area 1150 of FIG. 11 by selecting the “A” 1160 key on the client command device 160A (FIG. 4). A selected movie, such as Traffic 1130, could be purchased by the subscriber simply by pressing the one buy button 1140. The notification icon 1100 warns the subscriber that a purchase can be initiated and completed just by selecting the one buy button 1140. Thereby, the subscriber will be warned of the ramifications of selecting the one buy button 1140 whenever the subscriber sees an encircled lighting bolt, the notification icon 1100.
FIG. 12 is a diagram of subscriber user interface 1801, an example implementation of subscriber user interface 180 (FIG. 1), depicting a notification barker 1200 screen. In this example embodiment, the notifier option is not a notification icon but a notification barker. For this example embodiment, it is assumed that the subscriber has previously enabled a single execution transaction option. The single execution transaction option can be completed in the video on demand 1210 purchase interface screen by selecting the one buy button 1220. In this implementation, the subscriber is warned that single execution transactions are enabled in the video on demand 1210 screen by the notification barker 1200. This notification barker 1200 is a separate screen implemented by the subscriber user interface 1801 to be displayed upon entry into the video on demand 1210 screen. The text area 1230 in the middle of the notification barker 1200 specifies the particular warning that is being supplied to the subscriber. The text area 1230 for the notification barker 1200 depicted in FIG. 12 indicates to the subscriber that single execution transactions have been enabled. Thereby, the subscriber is made aware of the ramifications of inadvertently selecting the one buy button 1220. In one implementation, the subscriber can dismiss the notification barker 1200 by selecting the clear key, “C” 1240. In a non-limiting example the “C” 1240 key is one of the function keys 440 (FIG. 4) on the client command device 160A (FIG. 4).
The transaction configuration module, which comprises an ordered listing of executable instructions for implementing logical functions, can be embodied in any computer-readable medium for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device, such as a computer-based system, processor-containing system, or other system that can fetch the instructions from the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device and execute the instructions. In the context of this document, a “computer-readable medium” can be any means that can contain, store, communicate, propagate, or transport the program for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. The computer readable medium can be, for example but not limited to, an electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, infrared, or semiconductor system, apparatus, device, or propagation medium. More specific examples (a nonexhaustive list) of the computer-readable medium would include the following: an electrical connection (electronic) having one or more wires, a portable computer diskette (magnetic), a random access memory (RAM) (electronic), a read-only memory (ROM) (electronic), an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM or Flash memory) (electronic), an optical fiber (optical), and a portable compact disc read-only memory (CDROM) (optical). Note that the computer-readable medium could even be paper or another suitable medium upon which the program is printed, as the program can be electronically captured, via for instance optical scanning of the paper or other medium, then compiled, interpreted or otherwise processed in a suitable manner if necessary, and then stored in a computer memory.
