System mit wenigstens zwei separaten personalisierten intelligenten BenutzerschnittstellenSystem with at least two separate personalized smart user interfaces

Durch eine Initiative der Deutschen Telekom Laboratories, der T-Systems MMS und des DAI-Labors ist ein Projekt namens Per- sonalized Intelligent User Interfaces (PIUI) bekannt, bei dem zum Ziel gesetzt ist, eine systemübergreifende Personalisie- rungsmöglichkeit in Form eines intelligenten Avators prototy¬ pisch zu entwickeln (Internetseite: http: //www. tu-ber- lin.de/zuv/Tiic/fordat/04/35/I430I .htm) .An initiative by Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, T-Systems MMS and the DAI Laboratory has revealed a project called Personal Intelli- gent User Interfaces (PIUI), which aims to provide a system-wide personalization option in the form of an intelligent avatar prototy ¬ pisch to develop (website: http: // www. tu-ber- lin.de/zuv/Tiic/fordat/04/35/I430I .htm).

Ein Avatar ist eine künstliche Person oder ein virtueller Stellvertreter einer Person in der virtuellen Realität (Wiki- pedia, Stichwort: Avatar).An avatar is an artificial person or a virtual representative of a person in virtual reality (Wikipedia, keyword: avatar).

Ein PIUI ist letztlich ein nutzerspezifisches Interface, wel¬ ches bezüglich der persönlichen Vorlieben eines Benutzers konfiguriert wird. Ein zugehöriges Benutzerkonto ist defi¬ niert durch persönliche Daten wie zum Beispiel Benutzername, Benutzerpasswort, Geburtsdatum, aber auch anderen vorkonfigu¬ rierten Parametern.A PIUI is ultimately a user-specific interface wel ¬ ches is configured with respect to the personal preferences of a user. An associated user account is defi ¬ ned by personal data, such as user name, user password, date of birth, but also other vorkonfigu ¬ tured parameters.

In einem Haushalt befinden sich mehr und mehr mehrere zum Beispiel Fernseher und mehrere Set-Top-Boxen.In a household are more and more, for example, television and several set-top boxes.

Als Set-Top-Box (englisch für „Draufstellen"; abgekürzt STB) wird in der Unterhaltungselektronik ein Gerät bezeichnet, das an ein anderes Gerät, meistens ein Fernseher, angeschlossen wird und dem Benutzer zusätzliche Nutzungsmöglichkeiten bietet.As a set-top box (English for "Draufstellen", abbreviated STB) is referred to in consumer electronics, a device that is connected to another device, usually a television, and offers the user additional uses.

Es werden aktive, passive und bidirektionale Set-Top-Boxen unterschieden. Aktive Set-Top-Boxen liefern dem Basisgerät Daten oder Funktionen, ohne selbst von diesem eine Rückmeldung zu brauchen. Beispiele hierfür sind Videospiele und DVD-Spieler.A distinction is made between active, passive and bidirectional set-top boxes. Active set-top boxes deliver data or functions to the base unit without the need for feedback. Examples include video games and DVD players.

Passive Set-Top-Boxen sind auf die Daten oder Fähigkeiten des Basisgeräts angewiesen, liefern und bieten diesem selbst aber keine neuen Daten und Funktionen.Passive set-top boxes rely on the data or capabilities of the base unit, but do not provide it with any new data and features.

Bidirektionale Set-Top-Boxen weisen sowohl aktive wie auch passive Fähigkeiten auf. Beispiele hierfür sind alle Arten von Rekordern, da sie in der Regel auch Abspielgeräte sind.Bidirectional set-top boxes have both active and passive capabilities. Examples include all types of recorders, as they are usually also playback devices.

Einige Arten von Set-Top-Boxen kommunizieren auch untereinander und benötigen zumindest für einen Teil ihrer Funktionen das Basisgerät nicht. Ein Beispiel ist die VHS-Aufzeichnung vom analogen Satellitenempfänger.Some types of set-top boxes also communicate with each other and do not need the base unit for at least some of their functions. An example is the VHS recording from the analog satellite receiver.

Die wichtigsten über Set-Top-Boxen bereitgestellten Fähigkeiten sind das Abspielen von Medien (VHS, DVD und so weiter) , die gegebenenfalls interaktiv sind (Spielkonsolen), das auf¬ zeichnen empfangener Daten und der Programmempfang über alternative Übertragungswege (Satellit, Internet) oder Übertra¬ gungsverfahren (digital, verschlüsselt) .The most important capabilities provided by set-top boxes are the playback of media (VHS, DVD and so on), which may be interactive (game consoles), the recording of received data and the program reception via alternative transmission paths (satellite, internet) or Übertra ¬ transmission method (digital, encrypted).

Mit Hilfe von PIUI 's werden zu einem jeweiligen Benutzer gehörende Präferenzlisten generiert, kontinuierlich das Fernsehverhalten beobachtet und statistisch ausgewertet und die Präferenzliste entsprechend dem Nutzerverhalten angepasst.With the help of PIUI 's preference lists are generated for each user, the television behavior is continuously monitored and statistically evaluated and the preference list is adjusted according to the user behavior.

Das Problem besteht nun darin, dass ein Benutzer nicht ständig zum Beispiel denselben Fernseher und dieselbe PIUI bean¬ sprucht, sondern verschiedene Geräte und verschiedene sepa¬ rate PIUI 's. Zum Beispiel benutzt er sporadisch mal den Fern¬ seher im Wohnzimmer, dann im Arbeitszimmer und dann im Schlafzimmer, denen jeweils eine eigene PIUI beigeordnet ist.The problem now is that users do not constantly bean ¬ sprucht for example, the same TV and the same PIUI but different apparatus and different sepa ¬ rate PIUI's. For example, he used sporadically times the distance ¬ seer in the living room, then in the office and then in the bedroom, which is a separate PIUI each coordinate.

Hierbei wiederum ergibt sich das Problem, dass die Einstel¬ lungen zu dem jeweils einen betreffenden Nutzer in den sepa- rat vorhandenen einzelnen PIUI 's nicht konsistent sind, das heißt, unterschiedliche Einstellungen an den unterschiedli¬ chen Fernsehgeräten haben bezüglich des gleichen Benutzers zu unterschiedlichen Präferenzlisten in den unterschiedlichen separaten PIUI 's geführt.Here again there is the problem that the SET ¬ payments separately to each a respective users in the rat existing single PIUI 's are not consistent, that is, different attitudes to the differing ¬ chen televisions have respect to the same user at different preference lists in the various separate PIUI' s out.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ausgehend von dem oben beschriebenen Problem eine technische Lösung anzugeben, durch die bezüglich ein und desselben Nutzers ein einheitli- ches Präferenzbild, das heißt eine einheitliche Präferenz¬ liste innerhalb desjenigen Systems, innerhalb dem er aktiv ist, gegeben ist.Object of the present invention is to provide, starting from the above-described problem, a technical solution is given by the relative one and the same user a uniform ches preference image, that is, a uniform preference ¬ list within that system within which it is active, ,

Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von einem System der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß durch ein System gelöst, das die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale aufweist.This object is achieved on the basis of a system of the type mentioned in the present invention by a system having the features stated in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Danach sind die personalisierten intelligenten Benutzer- schnittsteilen miteinander vernetzt und es gibt einen Synchronisationsmechanismus, durch den jeweils alle personali¬ sierten intelligenten Benutzerschnittstellen des Systems fortlaufend auf einen gleichen neuesten Aktualisierungsstand gebracht sind.After that, the personalized intelligent user are cut share networked together and there is a synchronization mechanism, in each case all personalized ¬ terraced intelligent user interface of the system are continually brought to an equal latest update status by the.

Damit gibt es in allen separaten PIUI 's jeweils das gleiche Abbild, wodurch auch die einzelnen, zu einem jeweiligen Nutzer gehörenden Präferenzlisten jeweils gleich sind. Somit existiert pro Nutzer stets immer das gleiche Abbild zu diesem Nutzer innerhalb des betreffenden Systems.Thus, the same image exists in each separate PIUI, whereby the individual preference lists belonging to a respective user are also the same. Thus, there is always always the same image per user for that user within the system concerned.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.

Danach sind die PIUI 's zu einem beispielsweise jeweiligenAfter that the PIUI 's are for example a respective one

Fernseher jeweils in den jeweiligen zugehörigen Set-Top-Boxen integriert, die mehr und mehr ohnehin für den jeweiligen Fernseher bereitgestellt sind und die problemlos, beispiels¬ weise über eine WLAN-Verbindung, miteinander vernetzbar sind.TVs are each integrated into the respective associated set-top boxes, which more and more for the particular anyway Televisions are provided and the problem-free, example ¬ way via a wireless connection, are networked together.

Durch den jeweils auf eine gleiche Person bezogenen Synchro- nisationsmechanismus über alle zusammengeschlossenen PIUI 's beziehungsweise Set-Top-Boxen wird zu einer jeweils gleichen Person jeweils ein einheitliches Präferenzbild beziehungs¬ weise eine jeweils gleiche Präferenzliste gewonnen.By means of the synchronization mechanism relating in each case to a single person via all the combined PIUIs or set-top boxes, a uniform preference picture or respectively a respective preference list is obtained for a respective same person.

Daten, die über eine betreffende Person mit Hilfe der PIUI 's gesammelt werden können, können zum Beispiel Messdaten wie die Anzahl gesehener Programme sein. Es können weiter zum Beispiel Programmklassifizierungen vorgenommen sein mit Hilfe der Genre, die den Informationsinhalt einer Sendung kenn- zeichnet. Ein Genre kann beispielsweise eine Komödie sein, ein Sport oder Western oder eine Talk-Show. Diese Genre zum Beispiel werden zwischen den PIUI 's beziehungsweise Set-Top- Boxen ausgetauscht. In einer Master-Set-Top-Box beispiels¬ weise können die erhaltenen Messdaten ausgewertet sein, wobei der Algorithmus hierzu herstellerspezifisch sein kann. Insgesamt resultiert die Synchronisation in einer Adaption der Nutzerpräferenzen und des Nutzerverhaltens. Schließlich wird ein aktualisierter gleicher Datensatz zu einem betreffenden Nutzer in den PIUI 's beziehungsweise in den Set-Top-Boxen vorgehalten.For example, data that can be collected about a subject using the PIUI's may be metrics such as the number of programs viewed. For example, program classifications may be made using the genre that identifies the informational content of a program. A genre can be, for example, a comedy, a sport or western or a talk show. For example, these genres are exchanged between PIUI's or set-top boxes. For example, in a master set-top box the measured data obtained can be evaluated, the algorithm for this purpose being manufacturer-specific. Overall, the synchronization results in an adaptation of user preferences and user behavior. Finally, an updated same record is maintained to a respective user in the PIUI's or in the set-top boxes.

Besagte Daten können aber auch ein komplettes Update des je¬ weilig betreffenden PIUI 's sein, das heißt, eine komplette Datensatzübertragung ohne extraige Master-Client-Architektur.But said data can also be a complete update of each ¬ weilig concerned PIUI 's, that is, a complete data record transfer without extraige master client architecture.

Insgesamt ergibt sich der Vorteil ständig aktueller Präfe¬ renzlisten zu einem jeweiligen Nutzer in einem jeweilig aktuellen PIUI, hervorgerufen durch automatische Updates. Overall, the advantage of constant current Prefecture, ¬ reference lists results to a particular user caused by automatic updates in a respective current PIUI.
