摘要： Music is blanket transmitted (for example, via satellite downlink transmission) to each customer's user station where selected music files are recorded. Customers preselect from a list of available music in advance using an interactive screen selector, and pay only for music that they choose to playback for their enjoyment. An antipiracy WID tag” is woven into the recorded music so that any illegal copies therefrom may be traced to the purchase transaction. Music is transmitted on a fixed schedule or through an active scheduling process that monitors music requests from all or a subset of satellite receivers and adjust scheduling according to demand for various CD's. Receivers store selections that are likely to be preferred by a specific customer. In those instances where weather conditions, motion of atmospheric layers or dish obstructions result in data loss, the system downloads the next transmission of the requested CD and uses both transmissions to produce a “good copy”. In conjunction 20 with the blanket transmission of more popular music, an automated CD manufacturing facility may be provided to manufacture CD's that are not frequently requested and distribute them by ground transportation.

摘要： The invention relates to video and music distribution systems. Video distribution systems (10) of the invention blanket transmit video/audio content such as movies (for example, via satellite downlik transmission) to each customer's computer based recording, storage and playback system (28). Customers preselect from a list of available movies or other content in advance using an interactive screen selector, and pay for only the video/audio content that is actually viewed. Music distribution systems of the invention blanket transmit music selections to the same recording, storage and playback system used for video, or to a similar music-only system. The music customer preselects desired music selections in advance using an interactive screen selector, and pays for the music selections after they are recorded on a medium (e.g., CD) for unlimited future playback.

摘要： Movies are distributed to customer households in a secure format on digital media such as optical disks for playing back via proprietary set-top boxes (14). A system operator produces movie disks in large quantities and delivers the disks to widely geographically dispersed distribution agents. Agents produce copies of the disks with unique agent identification codes embedded therein, and distribute the disks to local customers who have compatible playback devices. When customers view movies, information identifying the movie and a distribution agent who is responsible for the movie being distributed to that customer are communicated to the central computer of the system operator (20). The content providers are then paid royalties due and responsible distribution agents are compensated.

摘要： A broadcast signal is received via a 'set-top-box' such as a cable connection or a DBS integrated receiver-decoder at the customer site, which supplies video and audio signals to a conventional television receiver. When a viewer tunes to the interactive music channel, the television receiver screen displays a window in which content, such as a music video, is playing. Also displayed on the screen is a surrounding matte comprising a high-quality professionally produced graphic identifying the channel. In addition, the screen displays one or more 'sensitive' areas to which the viewer may direct a cursor using a remote control. By directing the cursor to a sensitive area, the area becomes highlighted. By pressing the SELECT button on the TV remote when a sensitive areas is highlighted, the viewer can activate additional screen displays providing related features, such as music news, or menus allowing the viewer to immediately purchase products such as CD's, cassette tapes, etc.
