US 8839298 B2
The disclosed broadcast system includes a server that broadcasts meta-data to a plurality of clients. The meta-data describes a plurality of data files that are to be broadcast or potentially broadcast later by the server. Each client receives the broadcasted meta-data from the server and updates and maintains a local meta-data table and a content rating table. Based on the meta-data, previous access habits of the user and optional user classifications, the client system selectively receives and/or stores the data files that are later broadcast by the server. In one embodiment, the client systems transmit back to the server ratings of each one of the data files described by the meta-data based on the user's previously accessed data files and optional user classifications. The server then determines the data files to be broadcast and the broadcast schedule based on the ratings received from the clients.
a communication interface for receiving meta-data which includes information about when a future content will be broadcast; and
a processor, coupled to the communication interface, which is operable to update a content rating table and a meta-data table, including a relevance value and a believability factor, and wake-up when the future content is broadcast.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprises a storage area to store the future content according to the content rating table.
3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the processor is operable to replace the future content with another content according to the content rating table.
4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor to update the believability factor when the future content is accessed.
5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the communication interface to transmit the updated content rating table to another machine to cause the other machine to broadcast a new future content according to the transmitted updated content rating table.
6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the content rating table comprises a list of data files that is currently stored in the storage area.
7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the information in the meta-data includes descriptions of a plurality of data files.
8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the plurality of data files comprises at least one or more of: video, audio, image, and text.
9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the communication interface comprises at least one of: an interface to a wide area network (WAN), interface to a local area network (LAN), and a wireless interface.
10. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprises a display unit to display the future content.
receiving, via a communication interface, meta-data which includes information about when a future content will be broadcast including a content rating table;
updating a meta-data table, including a relevance value and a believability factor; and
waking up a processor when the future content is broadcast.
12. The method of claim 11, further comprises updating the believability factor when the future content is accessed.
13. The method of claim 11 further comprises transmitting an updated content rating table to another machine to cause the other machine to broadcast a new future content according to the transmitted updated content rating table.
The present patent application is a Continuation of, and claims priority to and incorporates by reference, the corresponding U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/975,027, entitled, “METHOD AND APPARATUS TO DETERMINE BROADCAST CONTENT AND SCHEDULING IN A BROADCAST SYSTEM” filed on Dec. 21, 2010, and issued as U.S. Pat. No. 8,108,542 on Jan. 31, 2012, and to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/864,485 filed Sep. 28, 2007, issued as U.S. Pat. No. 7,962,573 on Jun. 14, 2011 which is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/532,034 filed on Mar. 22, 2000, issued as U.S. Pat. No. 7,284,064 on Oct. 16, 2007 and claims priority and incorporates by reference thereto.
To illustrate, referring to “Action Dude” in content rating table 701 of FIG. 11, the product of the relevance value and believability factor of “Joe Smith” is 1* 1, which equals 1. The product of the relevance value and believability factor of “action” is 1*1, which equals 1. The average of the products, 1 and 1, is 1. Therefore, the rating of “Action Dude” in content rating table 701 of FIG. 11 is 1.
Similarly, with regard to “Blast 'Em” in content rating table 701, “Blast 'Em” has the attribute values “Jane Doe” and “action.” The relevance value and believability factors for “Jane Doe” in meta-data table 601 of FIG. 10 are −1 and 0, respectively. Thus, the rating of “Blast 'Em” in content rating table 701 is the average of 1* 0 and 1*1, which equals 0.5. The ratings for “The Funny Show” and “Hardy Har Har” in content rating table 701 in the example shown in FIG. 11 are determined in a similar fashion in one embodiment of the present invention.
