Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to media transmissions and particularly to a procedure for facilitating of access to media transmissions.
  • the user is limited to the program offer which is offered by the cable-TV company and he/she has no possibility to record "ordinary" programs himself/herself, and load them down for showing on his/her TV-set. It also only will be possible for him/her to utilize the service to watch the program at his/her own home, because the service is limited to a subscription to which it is associated.
  • a procedure according to the patent claim 1 where a media server is controlled which is centrally located and which has access to the media transmissions, which procedure includes the steps: To receive an order for a recording of at least one wanted media transmission; to control the media server to record ordered media transmissions; and to control access to said recording.
  • a media server is centrally located is preferably that the media server is generally accessible in a data communications network which can have interfaces towards other networks and towards users' media receivers in form of, for instance, gateways, routers, GPRS, UMTS, WAP etc.
  • the aim is achieved by a computer program which performs/executes the steps in the procedure according the patent claim 1.
  • the computer program as such can be included by the media server, or more preferably, by a server which is a separate unit in relation to the media server, for instance a service server.
  • the aim is achieved by a system which includes a media server equipped with device to: Receive an order for a recording of a wanted media transmission, record ordered media transmissions and make access to said recording possible.
  • the user is by the invention provided with possibility to control the media server for recording via for instance a cellular mobile telephone, a computer with Internet-connection, the fixed telecommunications network etc.
  • Another advantage is that the user not physically need to be at the place at the media server in order to afterwards watch the recorded program.
  • access to a recording is meant that the user can choose to watch the recorded program from optional place which has access to possibility to establish connection to the media server.
  • the playback of the program is done/made via a network, for instance via the cable-TV network, via satellite or via Internet.
  • Yet another advantage with the invention is the fact that a user who utilizes the invention does not need to have a video recorder at hand at all to record or watch the program.
  • the recording of the media recording is controlled by selecting place of storing and type of way of storing for the recording.
  • One advantage with this is that the user can choose to watch the program any time afterwards, because it is stored on selected place of storing. Another advantage is that the user does not "lose/mislay" the recording and that he/she does not need find out where on the video tape the program is .
  • Figure 1 schematically shows a system in which one embodiment of the invention is realized
  • Figure 2 schematically shows a procedure in which one aspect of the invention is realized.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically a system in which one embodiment of the invention is realized.
  • a service server 102 is connected to a media server 104 which in its turn is connected to one or more providers/suppliers of media transmissions 118 and, via a network 120, to a user's home 124 and an office 122.
  • a user who wants to record one or more programs can control the media server 104 by establishing connection to the service server 102.
  • This can be made in a number of different ways.
  • the user can for this purpose for instance utilize a mobile telephone 112 in the mobile telephone network 106 (PLMN, Public Land Mobile Network) , a computer 114 on the Internet 108, or a telephone 116 in the fixed public telephone network 110 (PSTN, Public Switched Telephone Network) .
  • PLMN mobile telephone network
  • PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network
  • the service server 102 includes computer software on the one hand to receive orders for recordings of programs from the user, on the other to control the media server to record these programs, and on the other to make the programs accessible to the user for showing.
  • a user is obliged to work overtime, which means that he will not be home in time to watch the final of the world championship in football. However, he is eager for watching it afterwards, so he logs in on a home page on the Internet 108 by means of a computer 114 to make an order for a recording of the football match.
  • the home page constitutes an interface between the service server 102 and the user and includes the parts which are necessary to make it possible for the user to make an order for a recording via Internet 108.
  • the user enters on the home page that he wants to record the final of the world championship in football which is transmitted on TV4 between 5.00 - 7.30 p.m.
  • the service server 102 transmits the order for the recording to the media server 104 which in its turn establishes a connection to selected provider/supplier 118 of the media transmission, TV4, for execution of the recording of the match.
  • the mobile telephone 112 together with the WAP-function, constitutes an interface between the service server 102 and the user and includes the parts which are necessary for the user to make an order (or a change) for/of a recording, this time via the mobile telephone network 106.
  • the service server 102 uses her ordinary telephone 116, which communicates via the fixed public telephone network 110, to call one for the service server 102 intended telephone number.
  • He makes an order for the program via interactive voice response and enters that the match shall be shown on his girlfriend' s TV-set.
  • the service server 102 transmits the order for the playback to the media server 104 which executes a playback of the match via the cable—TV network to a set-top-box which is connected to the girlfriend's TV-set.
  • the fixed telephone 116 together with the interactive voice response function, constitutes an interface between the service server 102 and the user and includes the parts which are necessary to make it possible for the user to make an order for a recording (or a play back) , this time via the fixed public telephone network 110.
  • the invention might among other things be possible to utilize so that the service server is provided by an operator who charges to make recordings and play back of programs. Another operator provides the media server which executes these orders.
  • the present invention can be utilized so that the media server and the service server are provided by one and the same operator.
  • the invention has the invention been illustrated with the media server and the service server as two separate units.
  • the present invention can be modified and utilized in such a way that the media server and the service server are one and the same server.
  • connection to the service server can be made in three different ways. Of course this also can be made by means of other means such as a PDA, notebook or laptop which can establish connection to/with the service server .
  • the present invention neither is limited by recording of TV-programs, but it of course can be modified and utilized for recording of and access to media transmissions which are made via radio, Internet or the like.
