TV云3响应于来自电视装置2的授权码发行请求，对电视装置2发送作为授权码的码，此外，还发送包含随机字符串的状态(state)在内的响应(步骤S102)。In response to the authorization code issuance request from the television device 2 , the TV cloud 3 transmits an authorization code as an authorization code to the television device 2 and also transmits a response including a state of a random character string (step S102 ).

电视装置2对TV云3发送OAuth令牌终点请求(步骤S103)。TV云3接收来自电视装置2的OAuth令牌终点请求，对电视网关5发送包含PF-ID、HA-ID、TC-ID在内的OAuth令牌终点请求(步骤S104)。在此，PF-ID是识别视频平台的标识符(ID)。HA-ID是同时识别电视机及TV云的标识符。TC-ID是识别TV云的标识符。The television device 2 sends an OAuth token endpoint request to the TV cloud 3 (step S103). The TV cloud 3 receives the OAuth token endpoint request from the television device 2 and sends the OAuth token endpoint request including PF-ID, HA-ID, and TC-ID to the TV gateway 5 (step S104). Here, PF-ID is an identifier (ID) that identifies the video platform. HA-ID is an identifier that identifies both the TV and the TV Cloud. TC-ID is an identifier that identifies the TV Cloud.

电视网关5接收来自TV云3的OAuth令牌终点请求，对TV云3响应包含码(code)、状态(state)在内的OAuth令牌终点(步骤S105)。TV云3根据来自电视网关5的该响应来获取OAuth令牌终点，作为来自电视装置2的令牌终点请求(步骤S103)的响应而发送OAuth令牌终点(步骤S106)。The TV gateway 5 receives the OAuth token endpoint request from the TV Cloud 3 and responds to the TV Cloud 3 with an OAuth token endpoint including a code and a state (step S105). The TV cloud 3 acquires the OAuth token endpoint based on the response from the television gateway 5 and sends the OAuth token endpoint in response to the token endpoint request from the television device 2 (step S103) (step S106).

电视装置2对视频平台4发送事先从视频平台4侧发行的客户ID(client_id)、客户端秘钥(client_secret)、与电视装置2相关联的CAS信息，并进行用户信息询问请求(步骤S107)。此外，存储CAS信息的CAS卡能够通过插拔而拿给其他电视装置2。电视装置2确认当前插入的CAS卡是否已被登记。The television device 2 sends the client ID (client_id), client secret (client_secret), and CAS information associated with the television device 2 issued in advance from the video platform 4 side to the video platform 4, and makes a user information inquiry request (step S107) . In addition, the CAS card storing CAS information can be given to other television devices 2 by plugging and removing it. The television device 2 confirms whether the currently inserted CAS card has been registered.

视频平台4响应来自电视装置2的用户信息询问请求，参照用户信息数据库6，确认该客户的加入信息(步骤S108)。即，视频平台4确认用户信息询问请求中包含的客户是否已加入(签约)，在已加入的情况下，确认可收看的服务ID。In response to the user information inquiry request from the television device 2, the video platform 4 refers to the user information database 6 to confirm the customer's subscription information (step S108). That is, the video platform 4 confirms whether the customer included in the user information inquiry request has joined (contracted), and if so, confirms the viewable service ID.

视频平台4使用户信息询问请求中包含的CAS信息与用户信息数据库6的该用户标识符(用户ID)联合。进一步，视频平台4发行与CAS信息相关联的PS(Pre-Share Code： 预共享码)码，使其与该用户标识符联合(步骤S109)。在此，所谓PS码是与CAS信息一对一地对应，并用于在视频平台4侧管理CAS信息的随机的字符串。PS码是码信息的一个例子。The video platform 4 associates the CAS information included in the user information inquiry request with the user identifier (user ID) of the user information database 6 . Furthermore, the video platform 4 issues a PS (Pre-Share Code) code associated with the CAS information and associates it with the user identifier (step S109). Here, the PS code is a random character string that corresponds to the CAS information one-to-one and is used to manage the CAS information on the video platform 4 side. PS code is an example of code information.

视频平台4对电视装置2发送针对步骤S107的用户信息询问请求的响应(步骤S110)。该响应中包含该客户已加入的信息(true)、或未加入的信息(false)、在已加入的情况下可收看的服务ID的信息(serviceids)、PS码(pscode：string)。此外，可收看的服务ID的信息(serviceids)是用户合同信息的一个例子，例如是根据合同而能收看的serviceid的信息、期间限定免费广播中的信息。The video platform 4 sends a response to the user information inquiry request of step S107 to the television device 2 (step S110). The response includes information that the customer has joined (true), or has not joined (false), information about service IDs that can be viewed if the customer has joined (serviceids), and PS code (pscode: string). In addition, the information on service IDs that can be viewed (serviceids) is an example of user contract information, such as information on service IDs that can be viewed according to the contract and information on limited-time free broadcasts.

电视装置2使用在步骤S106中获取到的OAuth令牌终点和PS码(<OAuth令牌终点？code＝<pscode>&state＝<state>)，自动地执行联合(步骤S111)。The television device 2 automatically performs association using the OAuth token endpoint and the PS code (<OAuth token endpoint? code=<pscode>&state=<state>) acquired in step S106 (step S111).

电视网关5对视频平台4发送令牌请求(步骤S112)。在该令牌请求中包含以下的信息。The TV gateway 5 sends a token request to the video platform 4 (step S112). Include the following information in the token request.

"client_id"：<client_id>,"client_id"：<client_id>,

"grant_type"："authorization_code""grant_type": "authorization_code"

"serviceids"：[可收看的serviceids]"serviceids": [viewable serviceids]

"id_token"：<id token>"id_token"：<id token>

另一方面，关于未加入的用户，报错。On the other hand, for users who have not joined, an error is reported.

电视网关5基于在步骤S113中接收到的信息，将MA-ID与HA-ID结合或者更新(步骤S114)。即，电视网关5基于在步骤S113中接收到的信息，将电视装置2的标识符、用户标识符、可收看的服务信息联合。The television gateway 5 combines or updates the MA-ID and the HA-ID based on the information received in step S113 (step S114). That is, the television gateway 5 combines the identifier of the television device 2, the user identifier, and the viewable service information based on the information received in step S113.

如以上所述，第1实施方式的信息联合系统S具备：电视装置2；发布动态图像内容的视频平台4；以及进行用于将来自视频平台4的动态图像内容提供给电视装置2的连接的电视网关5。电视装置2将包含该电视装置2中利用的CAS信息在内的第1信息发送到视频平台4。视频平台4响应第1信息，将包含与CAS信息相关联的作为码信息的PS码 在内的第2信息向电视装置2发送。电视装置2响应第2信息，将码信息发送到电视网关5。电视网关5基于从电视装置2接收到的码信息，从视频平台4接收用户标识符，并且将该用户标识符与电视装置2的标识符联合。As described above, the information cooperation system S of the first embodiment includes the television device 2 , the video platform 4 that distributes moving image content, and the connection that provides the moving image content from the video platform 4 to the television device 2 TV Gateway 5. The television device 2 transmits the first information including the CAS information used in the television device 2 to the video platform 4 . In response to the first information, the video platform 4 sends the second information including the PS code as code information associated with the CAS information to the television device 2. The television device 2 responds to the second information and sends the code information to the television gateway 5 . The television gateway 5 receives the user identifier from the video platform 4 based on the code information received from the television device 2 and associates the user identifier with the identifier of the television device 2 .

因此，能够利用与CAS信息相关联的PS码，自动地实现用户标识符、电视装置2的标识符之间的联合。因此，在该联合中，不再需要使用用户侧的智能手机来读取TV设备上显示的二维条形码、在CSP提供的Web网页中进行预先登记的用户标识符和密码的输入等工夫。即，对于用户来说，关于利用CAS信息，仅需要进行许诺的工夫即可。结果，利用与以往相比更简单的手续，能够联合CSP侧针对每个用户进行管理的服务与用户侧的TV设备的信息。Therefore, the PS code associated with the CAS information can be used to automatically link the user identifier and the identifier of the television device 2 . Therefore, in this cooperation, it is no longer necessary to use the smartphone on the user side to read the 2D barcode displayed on the TV device, and to enter the user identifier and password pre-registered on the Web page provided by the CSP. In other words, for users to use CAS information, they only need to commit time. As a result, it is possible to combine the services managed by the CSP side for each user with the information of the TV equipment on the user side using simpler procedures than before.

例如，在将用户签约的服务与TV设备的信息联合的情况下，从个人信息保护的观点出发，对于该用户，关于使用联合的信息提供的服务、利用目的，需要取得同意。即使在这样的情况下，根据第1实施方式的信息联合系统S，也能够利用与CAS信息相关联的PS码，自动地实现用户标识符、电视装置2的标识符之间的联合。For example, when a service contracted by a user is linked with information on a TV device, from the perspective of personal information protection, the user needs to obtain consent regarding the service provided using the linked information and the purpose of use. Even in such a case, according to the information association system S of the first embodiment, it is possible to automatically achieve association between the user identifier and the identifier of the television device 2 using the PS code associated with the CAS information.

(第2实施方式)(Second Embodiment)

"grant_type"："authorization_code""grant_type": "authorization_code"

"code"：<pscode>"code":<pscode>

"redirect_uri"：<redirect_uri>"redirect_uri":<redirect_uri>

视频平台4使用秘钥对令牌请求中包含的已加密的CAS信息(即PS码)进行解码(步骤S210)。另外，视频平台4使用解码后的CAS信息而参照用户信息数据库6，确认该客户的加入信息(步骤S211)。即，视频平台4确认令牌请求相关联的客户是否已加入(签约)，在已加入的情况下，确认可收看的服务ID。The video platform 4 uses the secret key to decode the encrypted CAS information (ie, PS code) included in the token request (step S210). In addition, the video platform 4 uses the decoded CAS information to refer to the user information database 6 to confirm the customer's subscription information (step S211). That is, the video platform 4 confirms whether the customer associated with the token request has joined (contracted), and if so, confirms the viewable service ID.

视频平台4作为对于电视网关5的响应，关于已加入的用户，返回以下的信息(步骤S212)。In response to the TV gateway 5, the video platform 4 returns the following information regarding the users who have joined (step S212).

"access_token"：<access token>"access_token"：<access token>
