Receiver Apparatus Viewing History Control via URT Metadata
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies lack a systematic approach for executing operations related to viewing history in a desired operation mode, particularly in broadcasting, where collecting and analyzing viewing history data is essential but lacks established methods for controlling and managing viewing history logs effectively.
Innovation Solution
A receiver apparatus and data processing method that utilize URT metadata and trigger information to control and manage viewing history logs, allowing for different operation modes such as subscription UR (direct or trigger reception) and instant UR (direct or trigger reception), enabling flexible recording and transmission of viewing history data based on specified scopes and periods.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If viewing history data is collected and transmitted regularly or on-demand, then viewing history information can be gathered for analysis, but there is no established method to control and manage the collection process in different operation modes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic control of viewing history collection by introducing multiple operation modes (instant UR and subscription UR) that can be switched based on requirements. The system dynamically adjusts between different collection strategies: instant transmission upon generation versus scheduled transmission at predetermined times, allowing flexible adaptation to different operational needs while maintaining systematic control over the data collection process
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the operational parameters of viewing history collection by defining distinct operation modes with different transmission timing parameters. The system can operate in instant mode (transmitting immediately when viewing history is generated) or subscription mode (transmitting at predetermined intervals or times), thereby adjusting the temporal parameters of data collection to match different operational requirements
2Productivity
If viewing history logs are recorded and transmitted, then data analysis can be performed, but the complexity of managing different operation modes and transmission timing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the viewing history transmission function into distinct operation modes (instant UR and subscription UR) and further segments subscription mode into different transmission timing strategies (periodic transmission at predetermined intervals versus transmission at specific predetermined times). This segmentation allows the system to handle different transmission scenarios through standardized, manageable modules, reducing overall management complexity while maintaining productivity
3Ease of operation
If viewing history is collected systematically with control mechanisms, then data management efficiency improves, but the system requires established technological schemes that currently do not exist
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal viewing history management system that handles multiple functions through a unified framework. The system universally manages different operation modes (instant and subscription), different transmission timing strategies, and different data types (viewing history logs) through a single coherent technological scheme, thereby improving ease of operation while establishing reliable, standardized procedures

AI summary
The present technology relates to a receiver apparatus, a transmitter apparatus, and a data processing method that are configured to execute an operation related with viewing history in a desired operation mode. The receiver apparatus receives broadcast waves of digital broadcasting transmitted from the transmitter apparatus via a transmission path, acquires control information for controlling the recording or the transmission of viewing history information related with the viewing history of content transmitted by broadcast waves, and, on the basis of the acquired control information, controls the recording or the transmission of viewing history information. The present technology is applicable to a television receiver compliant with an IP transmission scheme, for example.
