Embodiment 1

[0116] This embodiment describes the following scenario. Users A and B watch TV programs at their own homes. Users A and B are friends. In order to facilitate discussions on current TV content while watching TV on their respective social TV clients , user A subscribes to the social TV status of user B, then the social TV client of user A is the first social TV client 1, and the subscription process includes:

[0117] 1. User A activates the social TV client, selects user B from the friend list through the first user interface 11, sets the subscription status of social TV, and then initiates a subscription request to user B. The first status information collection module 12 acquires the operation information of user A from the first user interface 11, and generates a corresponding subscription request message according to the subscription request, including the above-mentioned subscribed social TV status.

[0118] About Social TV Status:

[0119] The subscribed social TV state...

Embodiment 2

[0125] Following the scenario of Embodiment 1, after user A successfully subscribes to user B's social TV status, the social TV status synchronization process is performed, that is, when the status of user B corresponding to the subscribed social TV status changes (for example, the TV viewing angle is switched), the user B sends a status change notification message to user A, and then, user A's social TV client is synchronized with user B, and the specific process includes:

[0126] 1. User B switches the viewing angle of the TV from viewing angle 1 to viewing angle 2 through the second user interface 21 . For example, switching from player 1 to player 2 during a soccer game. The second user interface 21 provides the switching operation information to the second state information collection module 22 .

[0127] Two, after the TV angle of view is switched, the second state information collection module 22 acquires the operation information of the switch from the second user in...

Embodiment 3

[0132] This embodiment describes the following scenario, users A and B watch TV programs at their own homes, users A and B are friends, and user A subscribes to user B's social TV status. At a certain moment, user B switches to a certain program that he has already paid for, but user A has not paid for this program. Then the synchronization process is as follows:

[0133] 1. User A subscribes to the social TV status of user B. The process is as described in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0134] Two: After successfully subscribing, user B switches the TV program from program 1 to program 2 through the second user interface 21 . The second user interface 21 provides the switching operation information to the second status information collection module 22,

[0135] At this time, if program 2 is a paid program, then the social TV client of user B needs to send a query to the service or content provider whether user A has already paid.

[0136] Three: The TV cont...

Abstract

The invention discloses a synchronization system and a method of a social television state. The synchronization system comprises a first social television client terminal and a second social television client terminal. The first social television client terminal is used for sending a subscription request message to the second social television client terminal. The subscription request message carries the social television state subscribed by the first social television client terminal. The second social television client terminal is used for sending a state change notification message to the first social television client terminal according to self-configuration or business or content provider strategies when one or multiple states in the corresponding subscribed social television states change. The first social television client terminal is also used for synchronizing the current social television state of the first social television client terminal and the changed social television state of the second social television client terminal according to the self-configuration and the changed social television state carried by the state change notification message. Objectives of watching programs and performing social interactions in a synchronizing way among users are realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to social television technology, in particular to a social television state synchronization method, system and terminal.
