System And Method For Generating Video Taping Reminders
US Patent:
6792197, Sep 14, 2004
Filed:
Dec 7, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/456132
Inventors:
Gary Helmstetter - Harvard MA
Assignee:
Index Systems, Inc. - Tortola
International Classification:
H04N 591
US Classification:
386 83, 386 95, 725 39, 725 58
Abstract:
Electronic Guide products give the user the ability to videotape selected programs. Once a program has successfully been taped a message is displayed, reminding the viewer that they have taped it. (E. g. âYou taped Xxxxx; have you watched it yet?â) Information comprising information that shows are taped, the particular shows taped and viewer profiles allow advertisements targeted to the viewer who typically records a given type of programming to be presented. In an embodiment the display of the reminders is made conditional upon acceptance of advertising (for example, based on a piece of data transmitted along with other data related to that show), and can be sold to the broadcasters who transmitted the show. This information is marketed as a peculiarly well-targeted ad for the show, causing it to continue to produce value for the broadcaster after the broadcast is complete. Broadcasters, in turn, may offer the reminders to major advertisers as they sell commercial air time during the show, as a premium feature of the air time.
