Videoaufnahme nVideo recording n
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur aufforderungsgemäßen Bereitstellung von Audio- und/oder Videoaufnahmen, insbesondere zur leihweisen Bereitstellung von Videos.The present invention relates to a method for providing audio and / or video recordings as requested, in particular for providing videos on loan.
Es ist derzeit bekannt und etabliert, daß über verschiedene Medien von Sendeanstalten Musik und/oder Filme übertragen werden. Herkömmlich sind normaler Antennenempfang, wobei inzwischen auch digitale Übertragungsverfahren wie Kabel oder Satellitenübertragung geläufig sind. Die selektive Auswahl von Sendekanälen ist etabliert und es wird mit Verfahren experimentiert, bei welchen Einfluß auf den Beginn einer Sendeübertragung genommen werden kann.It is currently known and established that music and / or films are transmitted by broadcasters via various media. Conventional antenna reception is conventional, although digital transmission methods such as cable or satellite transmission are now also common. The selective selection of transmission channels is established and experiments are being carried out with methods in which influence can be exerted on the start of a transmission transmission.
Aktuelle Filme, Kinofilme und dergleichen, bekannte Fernsehfilme usv/. sind auf Videokassetten zur Abspielung auf heimischen Videoanlagen im Handel. Es ist auch bekannt, derartige Videobänder in sog. Videotheken auszuleihen und zu Hause anzusehen. Dazu muß der Kunde vor Ort in die Videothek gehen, das Videoband dort auswählen und abholen und zu einem vorgesehenen Zeitpunkt wieder zurückbringen. Um den Transport und die Wege überschaubar zu halten, müssen eine große Vielzahl von Videokopien in einer großen Zahl von Videotheken vorgehalten werden. Darüber hinaus muß in jeder der Videotheken von Kassette ein entsprechendes Kontingent vorgehalten werden. Durch häufiges Ausleihen und entsprechend unnachsichtiges Handling durch die Kunden unterliegen die Videos einem erheblichen Verschleiß. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, daß die Entleihung nicht anonym abgewickelt werden kann. Darüber hinaus fallen mit der Zeit erhebliche Mengen zu entsorgenden Videokassetten an. Schließlich besteht noch ein Nachteil darin, daß bei diesen Ausleihsystemen verkaufsfördernde Ra- battierungen oder Werbesponsoring erschwert bzw. unmöglich sind.Current films, feature films and the like, well-known television films etc. /. are commercially available on video cassettes for playback on domestic video systems. It is also known to rent such video tapes in so-called video stores and to watch them at home. To do this, the customer must go to the video store on site, select the video tape there and pick it up and bring it back at a scheduled time. In order to keep the transport and the routes manageable, a large number of video copies must be kept in a large number of video stores. In addition, a corresponding contingent must be kept in each of the cassette video stores. The videos are subject to considerable wear and tear due to frequent rental and correspondingly unforgiving handling by customers. Another disadvantage is that the Loan cannot be processed anonymously. In addition, substantial amounts of video cassettes have to be disposed of over time. Finally, there is a disadvantage that sales promotional promotions or advertising sponsoring are difficult or impossible with these loan systems.
Ausgehend vom vorbeschriebenen Stand der Technik liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die A u f g a b e zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur aufforderungsgemäßen Bereitstellung von Audio- und/oder Videoaufnahmen anzugeben, mit welchem die beschriebenen Nachteile ausgeräumt werden, die Videoentleihung zeitunabhängig und ortsunabhängig sowie allgemein vereinfacht und attraktiver gestaltet wird und darüber hinaus Möglichkeiten zur Aktualisierung, Rabattierung, Sponsoring und dergleichen geschaffen werden.Starting from the above-described prior art, the present invention is based on the object of specifying a method for providing audio and / or video recordings as required, with which the disadvantages described are eliminated, the video rental is time-independent and location-independent, and is generally simplified and made more attractive, and In addition, opportunities for updating, discounting, sponsoring and the like are created.
Zur technischen L ö s u n g dieser Aufgabe wird mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagen ein Verfahren zur aufforderungsgemäßen Bereitstellung von Audio- und/oder Videoaufnahmen, wobei über verfügbare Aufnahmen eine Auswahlübersicht erstellt und in Abhängigkeit einer getroffenen Auswahl die gewählte Aufnahme an einer Zentralstelle unter Zuordnung eines Codes abrufbar bereitgestellt werden und wobei die bereitgestellte Aufnahme bei Abruf mittels Übermittlung des Codes über ein Übertragungsnetz übertragen wird.For the technical solution to this problem, the invention proposes a method for providing audio and / or video recordings as required, a selection overview of available recordings being made available and the selected recording being made available at a central point with assignment of a code depending on a selection made and the provided recording is transmitted on demand by transmitting the code over a transmission network.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren stellt ein Audio- und/oder Video-Fernleihsystem dar, bei welchem ein Interessent aus einer erstellten Auswahlübersicht eine Auswahl treffen kann und im wesentlichen zeit- und ortsunabhängig die angeforderte Aufnahme abrufen kann. Zu diesem Zweck wird eine Code-Sicherung benutzt, unter der die angeforderte Aufnahme bereitgestellt und abgerufen werden kann.The method according to the invention represents an audio and / or video interlibrary loan system, in which a prospective customer can make a selection from a selection overview that has been created and can call up the requested recording essentially independently of time and location. A code lock is used for this purpose, under which the requested recording can be made available and called up.
Die Auswahlübersicht kann in gedruckter Form vorliegen, als eine Art Katalog, Liste oder dergleichen, per Fax abrufbar sein, per Telefonabfrage abhörbar sein oder mittels Datenfernübertragung, beispielsweise unter Internetnutzung, eingesehen werden. Die Auswahl kann ebenfalls mittels Datenfernübertragung über das Internet, per Telefonwahl, per Fax oder nach vergleichbaren Methoden erfolgen. Dabei kann systemgemäß bereits vorgesehen sein, daß ein Kunde eine feste Code-Zuordnung hat, so daß er bereits bei der Auswahl seinen Code angibt. Dabei kann es sich um eine Scheckkartennummer, aber auch um eine ausschließlich für den Zweck der Fernausleihe vorgesehene Code-Nummer handeln. Vorzugsweise kann eine Chip-Karte ausgegeben werden, die auch zu Zwecken des Abrufs und/oder der Übertragung verwendet werden kann.The selection overview can be in printed form, as a type of catalog, list or the like, can be called up by fax, can be heard by telephone query or can be viewed by remote data transmission, for example using the Internet. The selection can also be made by remote data transmission over the Internet, by telephone, by fax or by comparable methods. According to the system, it can already be provided that a customer has a fixed code assignment, so that he already specifies his code when selecting. This can be a credit card number, but also an exclusive one trade the code number provided for the purpose of remote borrowing. A chip card can preferably be issued, which can also be used for purposes of retrieval and / or transmission.
Die Bereitstellung der Aufnahme erfolgt vorzugsweise in digitaler Form an einer Zentralstelle. Zum Abruf hat der Kunde von einem beliebigen Ort an die Zentralstelle den Code zu übermitteln und erhält in gewünschter Form die ausgewählte Aufnahme übertragen. Die Übertragung erfolgt vorzugsweise ebenfalls digital über Kabel, Satellitenübertragung, Datenfernübertragung, beispielsweise direkt über das Internet und dergleichen. Auch eigens dafür vorgesehene Rechnernetze für die Videoübertragung können vorgesehen werden.The recording is preferably provided in digital form at a central point. For retrieval, the customer has to transmit the code from any location to the central office and receives the selected image in the desired form. The transmission is preferably also carried out digitally via cable, satellite transmission, remote data transmission, for example directly via the Internet and the like. Computer networks specifically provided for this purpose can also be provided for the video transmission.
in vorteilhafter Weise kann das System unter Anwendung von Verschlüsselungen durchgeführt werden, beispielsweise hinsichtlich der Aufnahmenauswahl, der Code-Übertragung und/oder der Aufnahmenübertragung. So kann vorgesehen sein, daß eine Chip-Karte mit einem entsprechenden Guthaben beladen sein muß und auslesbar bei Abruf der bestellten Aufnahme in eine entsprechende Vorrichtung einzulegen ist. Dabei können derzeit bereits bekannte sog. Decoder-Boxen, Kommunikations-Boxen und dergleichen Verwendung finden.The system can advantageously be implemented using encryption, for example with regard to the selection of recordings, the code transfer and / or the transfer of recordings. Thus, it can be provided that a chip card must be loaded with a corresponding credit and can be read out and inserted into a corresponding device when the ordered recording is called up. Known so-called decoder boxes, communication boxes and the like can currently be used.
In vorteilhafter Weise kann in die Video-Übertragung aktuelle Werbung eingespielt werden. Dabei kann mit besonderem Vorteil vorgesehen sein, daß das Einspielen von Werbung durch den Kunden wählbar ist, beispielsweise mit Einfluß auf den Preis. So können über Werbeeinspielungen nach dem Wunsch des Kunden Ra- battierungen und/oder Sponsoring erfolgen.Current advertising can advantageously be imported into the video transmission. It can be provided with particular advantage that the import of advertising can be selected by the customer, for example with an influence on the price. In this way, discounts and / or sponsoring can take place via advertising recordings as requested by the customer.
In vorteilhafter Weise ist es auch möglich, bei der Übertragung ein Kopierschutzsignal mit zu übermitteln, welches beispielsweise bei Berücksichtigung bei der Herstellung von Aufnahme- und Abspielgeräten zu einer Aufnahmeunterdrückung führt.In an advantageous manner, it is also possible to transmit a copy protection signal during the transmission, which leads, for example, to a recording suppression when taken into account in the production of recording and playback devices.
Mit besonderem Vorteil bietet das Verfahren auch die Möglichkeit, daß der Kunde den Ablauf der Übertragung steuern kann. So kann er beispielsweise Standbilder erzeugen, Einzelteile zur Wiederholung bringen und dergleichen. Für die einzelnen Maßnahmen können einzelne Kosten vorgesehen sein, wodurch das System ganz nach Wahl des Kunden sehr flexibel wirkt.The method also offers the possibility that the customer can control the course of the transmission with particular advantage. For example, he can create still images, repeat parts and the like. For the individual Measures can be provided for individual costs, which makes the system very flexible, depending on the customer's choice.
