Description

[0001] A BROADCAST SYSTEM

[0002] The claimed technical solution concerns telecommunications, in particular signal control means based on biometric indicators of viewers.

[0003] The art of the invention includes the international application WO2023132375 Al describes the method of controlling the TV which is characterized by using identification information obtained from a mobile device connected to the TV via wireless communication or face recognition information detected by a camera mounted on the TV. According to this method, it is also ensured by increasing the size of the text included in the video in proportion to the age information of the identified user.

[0004] The prior art makes it possible to use human biometrics to control the TV signal playback terminal. However, does not affect the content, that is, the content of the television signal.

[0005] Thus, there is a need for such a broadcasting system that solves the problem of changing content depending on the biometric indicators of the viewer, since such systems have not been identified by the applicant.

[0006] The task is solved due to the fact that the broadcasting system contains

[0007] - a central server with a plurality of inputs and a plurality of outputs, which has a processing center, an interface designed to support input data, process input data from external signal sources and form the final signal,

[0008] - a translator configured to transmit a terminal signal over communication channels, according to the technical solution the external signal sources include sources of audio-video signals and biometrics signals, wherein each of the signals contains metadata, where the metadata of the audiovideo signal includes data at least regarding the place and time of signal reception, and the biometrics signals contain metadata regarding biometric indicators and their changes with respect to time and coordinates or registration addresses of biometric signals, the said system further comprises a neural network connected to the central server and configured to receive and process biometrics signals received from the central server, to determine biometric signal deviation and to send to the central server data on the determined error, the said processor center configured to synchronize the audio-video signal and the biometrics signal taking into account the determined deviation to correct the final signal.

[0009] The technical result achieved in the implementation of the claimed invention consists in obtaining an output signal for broadcasting over communication channels, adapted for a consumer / viewer.

[0010] Next, the cause-and-effect relationship between the set of features of the declared solution and the technical result will be given. Considering that the claimed technical solution can be modified and have alternative embodiments, the following description is given as an example to characterize its essence and feasibility. It should be apparent that the detailed description provided is not intended to limit the claimed solution to the individual embodiments given, but rather includes all modifications, equivalents and alternatives that fall within the spirit and scope of the patent protection defined by the formula of the claimed broadcasting system solution.

[0011] Broadly speaking, the broadcasting system uses two formats: pre-recording and live broadcasting.

[0012] Pre -recording is created audiovisual products stored on a medium. Pre -recording broadcasting is performed by reproducing a program from a medium and transmitting a reproduced signal for broadcasting.

[0013] Live broadcasting involves the direct creation of a signal for broadcasting using cameras and, additionally, with the help of insignificant content of pre-recording format.

[0014] None of the known approaches take into account the current wishes of the viewer, but on the contrary, evaluates the broadcast rating of certain content based on the fact of detected views.

[0015] The proposed broadcasting system offers an alternative to existing formats. In particular, the stated decision is based on the need to change the content of the final signal in accordance with the wishes or preferences of the viewer. For this purpose, the broadcasting system contains a central server. In this case, the server should be understood as a material and technical means that receives data, processes it, and transmits the final signal through communication channels.

[0016] The reception of data should be understood as receiving data from external sources. Conventionally, it is possible to divide such sources into primary and secondary. Primary sources include, in particular, television or video cameras, or other types of cameras for recording, recording or transmitting audio video signals. The number of such sources may vary and it is understood that the number of such sources must be adapted to the capacity of the communication channels through which these signals are transmitted from external sources. However, to create a final signal, it is preferable to use switching the reception of the input signal from one source to another.

[0017] It is worth noting that input signals from cameras should not be used for the entire set of input channels of the central server for the reasons given below.

[0018] Received signals from external primary sources, that is, from sources of audio-video signals, are processed in the processing center. Processing should be understood as adapting the format of received signals from external primary sources to form the final signal. Control of signal processing is possible due to the presence of an interface through which control signals are entered and processing parameters are set. For example, a signal received from a cell phone camera must be combined in the final signal with a signal received from a laptop. For this purpose, in the predetermined size of the frame of the final signal, two areas are allocated for simultaneous or alternate reproduction of each of the primary signals.

[0019] Each signal from external primary sources contains metadata, which includes data at least on the place and time of signal reception. Metadata regarding the place of signal reception is used to track the movement of the operational exit group, analysis regarding the concentration of reports, the location of the exit group or the location of primary sources, etc.

[0020] The generated final signal is transmitted by the translator to the air and is broadcast on the appropriate communication channels or on certain platforms. To do this, the translator must be configured to perform modulation according to the type of communication network (channel) or packetization according to the network protocol.

[0021] Users, when viewing this final signal using secondary sources, register their biometric indicators and their changes with respect to time and coordinates or the registration address of biometric signals. Biometrics data (biometric indicators) are sent to the central server.

[0022] Biometrics data should indicate the emotional state of the viewer from viewing the final signal. However, the removal of biometric indicators cannot be controlled. Therefore, there is a high probability of error when receiving a biometrics signal, which occurs due to the fact that, in particular, biometrics signals are received using devices with different camera resolution, different sensitivity.

[0023] Therefore, there is a problem of detecting the degree of deviation of the received biometric signals for subsequent correction of the final signal.

[0024] To do this, the broadcasting system further comprises a neural network which is connected to the central server for receiving and processing biometrics signals received from the central server. The neural network is trained to determine a certain number of emotional manifestations of the user / viewer, as well as to determine the degree deviation of the received biometric signal from the ideal one.

[0025] Due to presence of coordinates or address of their registration in biometrics signals, determination of regional coverage of broadcasting, number of viewers, etc. is provided. Due to the availability of information about the time of receiving biometrics signals and determining the gradation of their changes, the formation of the corresponding change in the final signal is ensured. For this purpose, data from biometrics signals are processed in the central server and data on the determined error are sent to the central server.

[0026] Biometric signals can be control signals, for example, for voting during broadcasting, etc.

[0027] After processing the biometric signals and the accompanying data, the final signal is adjusted. The adjustment of the final signal can mean a number of specific actions, namely: connecting additional pre-recorded signals, if the total number of biometric signals, which has been determined as a positive emotion tag and has a geographic tag of a certain region, is greater than a predefined threshold. For this, the processing center synchronizes the audiovideo signal with pre-recorded signals, which are determined on the basis of the biometric signal, taking into account the determined error. It should be understood that adjusting the final signal can be done in other similar ways, that is, adding additional pre-recorded signals to the final signal, or, if the broadcast format requires it, alternating the order in which certain storylines appear in the final signal. In any case, the algorithm for generating the final signal is based exclusively on technical means. This is the main advantage over the known ways of manual shaping of the final signal.

[0028] The skilled personin this field will understand all possible embodiments of the claimed technical solution, despite its simplicity. In addition, the applicant has found that the use of a neural network to determine deviations from the optimal value of the biometrics signal in this technical solution is used for the first time. Therefore, according to the applicant, the cliamed decision meets all the conditions of patentability.
