Description

Control signal learning-type shortened service access method and system

[0001] The present invention relates to a control signal learning-type shortened service access method and system.

[0002] IPTV service is an interactive TV service provided over the Internet. It allows users to download or stream content, such as video on demand (VOD), by connecting to a content provider's content delivery server via an Internet-connected set-top box. In addition to VOD content, IPTV also offers broadcast program transmission services, allowing users to switch channels and watch a variety of programs.

[0003] Recently, smart TV services including IPTV have been providing service interfaces that minimize complicated service usage procedures by pressing the "Home" button, etc. to find smart media services such as VoD, Netflix, and YouTube through complex menus, or by providing a "Favorites" function for frequently used services.

[0004] The downside of these services is that they are not intuitive and rely on the service middleware / framework built into the device, making them difficult for product manufacturers to implement independently. In other words, implementation is limited to the software frameworks of middleware developers or branded service providers like Netflix.

[0008] The technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a control signal learning-type abbreviated service access method and system that records the control signal itself generated by clicking an RCU (Remote Control Unit) button and predicts frequently used services through artificial intelligence-based learning or setting of the recorded control signal. The control signal learning-type abbreviated service access method and system aims to automate the sequential generation and processing of control signals required for service access and provide an intuitive and fast service access method.

[0009] In one aspect, the control signal learning-type short-cut service access system proposed in the present invention comprises: an execution information receiving unit that receives app / service execution information executed through a TV app or a specific menu from a media service unit; an RCU signal processing unit that determines whether an input signal of a remote control is an idle key input signal for app / service execution information, and transmits a signal corresponding to the input signal of the remote control to a signal generation processing unit or a transmission unit according to the determination result; a record storage unit that generates and stores a dataset in which the app / service execution information and the input signal of the remote control generated in the app / service execution process are combined, and transmits the dataset to a learning analysis unit; a learning analysis unit that performs learning on the dataset accumulated in the record storage unit, derives a control signal sequence of the shortest path for app / service execution, and transmits the derived control signal sequence to the signal generation processing unit; a control signal sequence received from the learning analysis unit and an idle key input signal are mapped to generate a new dataset, and stores the new dataset in the record storage unit, and transmits a control signal sequence mapped to the idle key input signal requested by the RCU signal processing unit to a transmission unit. It includes a signal generation processing unit that transmits and a transmission unit that transmits a final control signal corresponding to a control signal sequence received from the signal generation processing unit to a media service unit.

[0010] The RCU signal processing unit, when the input signal of the remote control is an idle key input signal for app / service execution information, searches for a pre-stored control signal sequence matching the idle key input signal in the record storage unit and transmits the searched control signal sequence to the signal generation processing unit; and when the input signal of the remote control is not an idle key input signal for app / service execution information, copies the input signal of the remote control and transmits it to the record storage unit, and simultaneously transmits it to the transmission unit so that it is transmitted to the media service unit.

[0011] The above record storage unit generates and stores a dataset by combining the app / service execution information received from the media service unit and the input signal of the remote control including the remote control's directional keys or confirmation button click input for executing the app / service.

[0013] The above learning analysis unit uses a dataset accumulated in the record storage unit that includes a remote control input signal including a directional key or a confirmation button click of the remote control input for executing an app / service as a control signal sequence, and since the control signal sequence includes a trial-and-error step for executing an app / service among the input signals of the remote control, learning is performed on the dataset accumulated in the record storage unit to derive a control signal sequence of the shortest path excluding the remote control input signal for the trial-and-error step, and through the learning, a control signal sequence of the shortest path for executing the corresponding app / service is derived from among the datasets accumulated for each app / service, and the derived control signal sequence of the shortest path is transmitted to a signal generation processing unit.

[0014] The signal generation processing unit maps the control signal sequence received from the learning analysis unit to an idle key input signal corresponding to the control signal sequence, creates a new data set with the control signal sequence mapped to the idle key input signal, stores the new data set in the record storage unit, and, when the input signal of the remote control is an idle key input signal for app / service execution information, sequentially transmits the control signal sequence mapped to the idle key input signal to the transmission unit.

[0015] The above transmission unit transmits a final control signal corresponding to a control signal sequence received from the signal generation processing unit to the media service unit, or transmits a final control signal according to an input signal of the remote control received from the RCU signal processing unit to the media service unit.

[0016] In another aspect, the control signal learning-type short-cut service access method proposed in the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving, from a media service unit, information on the execution of an app / service executed through a TV app or a specific menu through an execution information receiving unit; determining, through an RCU signal processing unit, whether an input signal of a remote control is an idle key input signal for app / service execution information; and transmitting a signal corresponding to the input signal of the remote control to a signal generation processing unit or a transmission unit according to the determination result; generating and storing, through a record storage unit, a dataset in which the app / service execution information and the input signal of the remote control generated during the app / service execution process are combined, and transmitting the dataset to a learning analysis unit; performing learning on the dataset accumulated in the record storage unit through the learning analysis unit, and deriving a control signal sequence of the shortest path for app / service execution, and transmitting the derived control signal sequence to the signal generation processing unit; generating a new dataset by mapping the control signal sequence received from the learning analysis unit and the idle key input signal through the signal generation processing unit, and storing the new dataset in the record storage unit; and storing the new dataset in the record storage unit through the signal generation processing unit. It includes a step of transmitting a control signal sequence mapped to an idle key input signal requested by an RCU signal processing unit to a transmission unit and a step of transmitting a final control signal corresponding to the control signal sequence received from the signal generation processing unit to a media service unit through the transmission unit.

[0017] According to embodiments of the present invention, a control signal learning-based abbreviated service access method and system records the control signals generated by clicking an RCU (Remote Circuit Unit) button, and predicts frequently used services through AI-based learning or configuration of the recorded control signals.
