Definitions
- the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a method is known from "Rundfunkchnik Mitteilungen", Issue 1, 1978 "System for editing and inserting subtitles according to the English Teletext standard”.
- Additional information is known from German patent application P44 27 046.1 in order to make ordering of products that are presented on television or radio as simple as possible for television or radio subscribers and at the same time to ensure the legal certainty required for an order , in particular in the form of plain text and possibly graphic information, to be transmitted within the program signal in a time correlation to its program content and to be decoded by the receiver.
- the additional information received is temporarily stored on the receiver side for a certain duration.
- plain text and possibly graphic information contained in the last additional information received is reproduced for a certain period of time.
- an order or selection information associated with the plain text and possibly graphic information is extracted from the last temporarily stored additional information and forwarded to a dialing switching device (eg modem).
- a dialing switching device eg modem
- the object of the invention is to enable a method of the type mentioned in the introduction to be able to order various products as easily as possible for the user without time pressure.
- the invention is based on the consideration that various products with corresponding ordering information are put together on pages and that the selection of the individual pages is controlled by special additional information which is sent in a time correlation to the program content.
- the television or radio subscriber calls at the push of a button in the visual or acoustic presentation of products or services, in addition to plain text information, which is made visible to him by insertion into the television picture or playback on a display on the receiver, special additional information with one or more Page numbers and a control information and thus triggers an automatic selection and reproduction of the plain text information of the first page.
- One page contains in plain text e.g. Selection information about the offered products including price and desired number and - hidden for the participant - the information about the positions of the individual selection information and their associated product and telephone numbers.
- Selection information about the offered products including price and desired number and - hidden for the participant - the information about the positions of the individual selection information and their associated product and telephone numbers.
- the participant only marks the desired product on the displayed page and then presses a special button on his receiver or its remote control, whereupon the ordering process is triggered automatically.
- Fig. La is a timing diagram for the chronological sequence of individual
- Fig. Lb shows a representation of those transmitted in the additional information
- Fig. Lc a representation of the assigned to the individual television contributions
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of a page displayed on a television screen with selection information and a remote control with an “ES” and a “Next” key
- Fig. 3 is a block diagram of a receiver-side device according to the
- the information necessary for an automatic selection of transmitted pages is transmitted as additional information correlated in time with the television program on teletext pages in a manner similar to subtitles under certain page numbers which are known to the receiving device.
- the additional information AI and for the spot S2 the additional information A2 are transmitted with the television signal for the spot SI; the same applies to T.
- FIG. 1b shows possible contents of the additional information AI, A2 and B from FIG.
- the additional information AI from Spot SI contains plain text information "for ordering the summer dress " and a page number "205" for the associated catalog page number. If the user presses a special button YES on his remote control (FIG.
- the associated plain text information "To order the summer dress " is added to the running program and shortly afterwards the content of the page the number 205, namely the offer "summer dress 37, - DM" superimposed on the television picture (Fig. lc).
- the decoder automatically positions a movable marker (not shown) on the first order option.
- the page contains hidden information about the product numbers belonging to the different ordering options and the phone number of the provider.
- the plain text information associated with the spot S2" for ordering the men's suit ... "and shortly thereafter the page 210 with the corresponding offers are reproduced (FIG. 1c).
- the other pages listed in the additional information can be reproduced (page 211 in FIG. 1c). If the user has found the desired page, he selects the product with the movable marking and presses the YES key again his remote control, whereupon the ordering process is triggered automatically and the concealed product number and a user-specific device number for identifying the user are transmitted to the provider selected under the concealed telephone number (for example a credit card organization).
- the provider identifies the customer using the device number , provides the address, account details and requested product a body responsible for delivery and, if necessary, regulates payment or debiting.
- a successful ordering or selection process and a successful transmission of the ordering or selection data is indicated to the user in a suitable manner by the receiving device.
- FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a receiving device according to the invention installed in a television set.
- the received television signal with the page information and the (subtitle) additional information is fed to a teletext decoder 1, which detects those pages from the incoming page information that are requested by a controller 2. Furthermore, the teletext decoder 1 examines the television signal for additional information, e.g. are transmitted as subtitles in a time correlation to the program content of the television signal.
- a message to the controller 2 and a corresponding display for the user for example by means of appropriate signaling on the front of the television set or by a logogram generated by the teletext decoder and as an RGB signal on the screen together with the selected program in a corner appears on the screen.
- the receiving device preferably in a RAM memory 3 with a large storage capacity, possible waiting times on pages can be minimized by searching for those pages from the incoming page information stream whose numbers have been transmitted in the additional information last stored. These pages are also buffered in RAM 3. If the viewer presses a button 'YES' (FIG. 2) which is assigned to the receiving device and which can be arranged on the remote control of the television set, a corresponding control signal "YES" is transmitted to the controller 2. The control then causes the teletext decoder 1 to read the last temporarily stored additional information and the first associated page from the RAM memory 3 and the plain text information contained in the additional information (FIG. 1b) as viewer information and the first associated page with information the order options (Fig. lc) on the screen of the TV in a suitable manner.
- a button 'YES' (FIG. 2) which is assigned to the receiving device and which can be arranged on the remote control of the television set
- a corresponding control signal "YES" is transmitted to the controller 2.
- the search process for the page or pages specified in the additional information is only started when the 'YES' button is pressed.
- a movable marker is automatically set to the position of the first order.
- the controller 2 requests the information contained on the relevant page, evaluates it and issues appropriate commands to the teletext decoder 1.
- the user now has the option of selecting all of the products listed one after the other by pressing a 'Next' key and thus selecting them . It is also conceivable, when selecting the last product of a page, by pressing the 'Next' button to read out and play back the page following in the additional information from the RAM.
- the pages conceal the individual positions for the movable marking, furthermore product identifiers assigned to the positions and generally one, and possibly also several, telecommunication numbers.
- the product identifier selected with the marking and the telecommunications number contained in the page are transferred to a modem 4 and a dialing process is triggered.
- a telecommunication or telephone line leads from the modem 4 from the receiving device according to the invention to the telephone connection of the user.
- the product number for the desired product is transmitted for an ordering process together with a device number for identification of the user, which is read out from a PROM memory 5.
- the additional information contains a selection identification number (FIG. 2), only it, without a device number, is transmitted to the selected subscriber in order to maintain the anonymity of the user.
- the successful transmission of the data is signaled by the modem 4 to the controller 2, which in turn sends a corresponding message to the teletext decoder 1 for display on the screen.
- a corresponding display on an associated LED display or on the television with an integrated receiving device is conceivable.
- a digital radio program signal is particularly suitable for this because of the large transmission capacity.
- FM and AM signal provided with an RDS (radio data system) signal also comes into consideration, since the RDS signal still has unassigned identifiers which are used for the invention Additional information and the page information can be used.

Abstract
Les informations supplémentaires contenues dans un signal télévisuel ou radio comprennent des informations sur un ou plusieurs nombres de pages correspondantes qui sont transmises de façon répétée dans un signal de programme pendant une plus longue période, sans corrélation dans le temps avec le contenu de ce programme. Ces pages renferment des informations plus détaillées, par exemple sur les produits présentés dans le signal de programme, sous forme de spot publicitaire. Les informations supplémentaires reçues sont temporairement mémorisées, côté récepteur, pendant une durée déterminée. En réponse à une première instruction de l'utilisateur, des informations textuelles, éventuellement graphiques, conjointement avec la/ou les pages correspondantes, contenues dans les informations supplémentaires reçues le plus récemment, sont présentées avec la palette de produits offerts. L'utilisateur choisit, au moyen d'un marqueur variable, les produits qu'il désire parmi ceux présentés. En réponse à une deuxième instruction de l'utilisateur, les informations de commande associées au produit désiré, sont extraites de la/ou des pages correspondantes et transmises à un central automatique (par exemple un modem). Les informations de commande sont complétées par un numéro d'abonné qui identifie l'utilisateur et qui est mémorisé, par exemple dans une mémoire PROM. A la place d'une information de commande et d'une information d'abonné, il est également possible, pour des enquêtes d'opinion, d'inclure, dans les pages représentées, plusieurs questions optionnelles et de transmettre au modem la réponse choisie par l'utilisateur par marquage, en tant qu''information de commande' (information sur le choix de l'utilisateur).
