达达编号号: TW2858PA IX. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method for generating a customized television/wireless broadcast service according to a user's selected content, and a playback device thereof, and more particularly to a basis The user selects a content to automatically generate a play list and inserts an advertisement method and a playback device thereof.

[Prior Art] Today, consumers have a wide variety of digital streaming content to choose from. The most common form is digital television, digital radio or streaming internet radio. The above-mentioned dissemination content includes some form of metadata to discriminate the content of the material being transmitted. These intermediary materials are, for example, the names and content descriptions of digital television programs or radio chat programs, or the song singers and song names of radio music programs. The receiver will display this information to the user, otherwise this information is rarely used for other purposes. In some digital TV systems, these beacons are recommended to the user or automatically cut on a personal video recorder (pVR) device or used by the user. In Internet radio broadcasts, mediations can only be obtained after the song or performance has started. Many pvR products currently available on the market, such as Replay TV and Sky+ services, 疋Τιν〇, the behavior to automatically record viewers interested::=喜:= 1328965

:· Sanda number: TW2858PA ~ The user is still limited to only one program at a time and must manually select the next program. For a 30-minute TV show, this = limit is acceptable, but for three to four minutes of songs, it can't be accepted. There is another problem with the root of watching TV from the perspective of the broadcaster. The user only sees those advertisements in the commercial segment of the program, and when using some PVR devices, these advertisements are not visible because the advertisements are skipped (ad_skipp'inDg). Because advertisements between these programs are usually not recorded, viewers using PVR devices will not be able to see them. The more people use the PVR system, the less they watch advertisements between programs, resulting in reduced advertising revenue and lower revenue for broadcasters. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for generating a customized television/wireless broadcast service by a user to select content and a playback device therefor. The playlist corresponding to the user's selected content is automatically generated according to the user's preference, and the desired commercial clip is inserted, so as to facilitate the user's operation and increase the rating of the advertisement. In accordance with the purpose of the present invention, a method for producing a customized television/wireless broadcast service based on user selected content is provided for use in a playback device for receiving a plurality of digital video services.

If the total playing time ΤΡ is greater than the preset time by 0, proceed to step 27〇, and select a play time of the content data Cm after the combination of the advertisement A by the recorded advertisement Ad according to the related keyword. The second insertion of advertisements is based on the relevant assets and the current combined content data ^ and the similarity H of the content data Cm to be added after the advertising period.

Cm is a sports program and the content after the advertising period is wide: in the current program, the advertisement Ad can be - Nike sports shoes; the target keyword is "sports" and the second _ key is "electricity"

After Cm ^ is then in step 28G, it is judged whether all recorded content data C has been added to the broadcast list Lp. If you have not fully completed the second step 250, add the contents of the record to the playlist ^; if you have taken two steps. Therefore, when the user wants to broadcast the record of the content: the content of the second month of the month can automatically display the recorded inside =:=:r TV, no_service, = two] tolerance problem. Month b to watch a valley and must manually select the next-item. According to the user's choice (4), the method of generating the customized TV/wireless service is based on the steps 200 to 280 of the above embodiment. This is limited to this. As long as the method can monitor the received digital audio and video service Sa or Sv when the user wants to broadcast the recorded content, the content of the digital audio and video service that substantially matches the user's selection content is recorded. 13 1328965

The three-digit number: TW2858PA, Cm, and the playlist for constructing the recorded content are selected by the user without departing from the technical scope of the present invention. According to the above-described embodiments, the present invention discloses a new method of providing use of the recorded content and, in particular, short recorded content. By re-constructing the concept of recording the content of a television channel, the playback device provides a convenient way for the user to record the content without having to individually select each item to be viewed. This advantage is even more important when using the automatic recording function and based on the viewer's past viewing habits to record programs of interest to them. In addition, due to the inclusion of advertising time in the content, advertisers can provide customers with a wide range of benefits, and broadcasters can also benefit from advertising revenues, and they are more likely to see their favorite advertisements. If the advertisement is downloaded separately and recorded in the broadcast, it is more effective to provide individual viewers with what they want. Wide

However, the present invention has been described above with reference to a preferred embodiment, and is not intended to limit the present invention. It is to be understood that the invention is intended to be within the spirit and scope of the invention, and is defined by the patent. Attached application
