Patent ID: 8850463

Claim:
A system for capturing parameters and recording events on a portable device with a digital television receiver, the system comprising: a manager that manages and processes the logic of receiving, transmitting and validating events generated by a service and received within the portable device, analyzing an event arrival, requesting data on all components to enable the assembly of the message to be sent, checking if the event is valid and initializing or ending all other components within the service for capturing events; a database which includes an event queue to be sent to a server; an interface for configuration of service parameters, in which all the preference parameters for both the end user and the service are configured; a SIM card interface to obtain user information on a SIM card (ICCID) and inserting the same in the event to be sent to the server; an interface of the portable device, through which it is obtained the location information of a user at the time for the event computed in the service; an interface TV circuit of the portable device to collect information about the intensity of TV signal, the physical and logical channels at the time of collection of event information, as well as access to electronic program guide (EPG) or search for channels; an SMS interface of the portable device in a port defined by the server, to send the events encapsulated in an SMS message to the server and receiving events for the configuration service for capturing parameters and registering events; a queue to store the events received in a queue ordered by event date; a formatter to format events to be saved in the queue to be sent by SMS channel, the events being encapsulated in accordance with the protocol DTVAM-DS; an interface for application of SMS and MMS embedded in the portable device to receive and process commands from the server on a particular port, these commands being passed to the manager that processes and executes the commands remotely; an event processor for TV application, in which events are generated and forwarded to the manager that processes and validates whether an event is suitable for registration or for disposal; a manager in the server to receive the information records and events captured by the portable device and performs the management of the activity of remote configuration of service for capturing parameters and recording events in the portable device; a radio channel interface through which the server exchange SMS messages with the portable device; an SMS interface embedded into the server that validates the integrity of data and forwards the same to the manager; a relational database capable of managing all event data captured by the manager and saved in the same, and a Web Server to process the data of the database, such information and records of events being captured processed and consolidated by the manager to obtain desired audience data, wherein, as events are sent to the server and the server confirms that the data arrived intact, these data are excluded from the database.
