摘要：將音樂加以地毯式傳送(譬如說，經由衛星下行鏈路(downlink)傳輸)到錄製被選擇音樂檔的每位客戶之用戶站(user station)。客戶們使用一種互動式(interactive)螢幕選擇器，從可用音樂清單中加以預先選擇，並且只針對他們選擇重放(playback)以供他們欣賞的音樂而付費。將一種反盜錄(antipiracy)"識別標識"(ID tag)編入錄製音樂中，使得任何非法拷貝都可能從那裹追查到購買交易。按照一種固定時間表或透過一種有效排程處理過程(active scheduling process)來傳送音樂；該處理過程監控來自全部或部份衛星接收器的音樂請求，進而根據各種光碟(CD)的需求而調整排程。接收器會儲存可能為一特定客戶所偏好的選擇品(selections)。在天氣情形，大氣層活動或拋物面天線(dish)障礙終於導致資料損失的那些實例中；系統會下載(download)下次被請求光碟傳輸資訊，並且使用兩次傳輸資訊來產生"優良拷貝"(good copy)。連同較受歡迎音樂的地毯式傳輸(blanket transmission)，可能提供一種自動光碟製造設施來製造不常被請求的光碟，並且藉由地面運輸來配送它們。
简体摘要：将音乐加以地毯式发送(譬如说，经由卫星下行链路(downlink)传输)到录制被选择音乐档的每位客户之用户站(user station)。客户们使用一种交互式(interactive)屏幕选择器，从可用音乐清单中加以预先选择，并且只针对他们选择重放(playback)以供他们欣赏的音乐而付费。将一种反盗录(antipiracy)"识别标识"(ID tag)编入录制音乐中，使得任何非法拷贝都可能从那裹追查到购买交易。按照一种固定时间表或透过一种有效调度处理过程(active scheduling process)来发送音乐；该处理过程监控来自全部或部份卫星接收器的音乐请求，进而根据各种光盘(CD)的需求而调整调度。接收器会存储可能为一特定客户所偏好的选择品(selections)。在天气情形，大气层活动或抛物面天线(dish)障碍终于导致数据损失的那些实例中；系统会下载(download)下次被请求光盘传输信息，并且使用两次传输信息来产生"优良拷贝"(good copy)。连同较受欢迎音乐的地毯式传输(blanket transmission)，可能提供一种自动光盘制造设施来制造不常被请求的光盘，并且借由地面运输来配送它们。

摘要： Movies are distributed to customer households in a secure format on digital media such as optical disks for playback via proprietary set-top boxes. 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. The content providers are then paid royalties due and responsible distribution agents are compensated.
摘要翻译：电影以数字媒体（例如光盘）的安全格式分发给客户，以通过专有的机顶盒播放。系统操作员大量生产电影磁盘，并将磁盘传送到广泛地域分散的分发代理。代理产生具有嵌入其中的唯一代理识别代码的磁盘副本，并将磁盘分发给具有兼容回放设备的本地客户。当客户观看电影时，识别电影的信息和负责分发给该客户的电影的分发代理被传送到系统操作员的中央计算机。然后内容提供商将支付特许权使用费，负责的分销代理商将得到补偿。

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 "ID 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 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.
摘要翻译：音乐被毯子传输（例如，通过卫星下行链路传输）到每个客户的用户站，其中记录所选择的音乐文件。客户预先使用交互式屏幕选择器从可用音乐列表中预选，并且只为他们选择播放的音乐付费享受。一个反盗版的“ID标签”被编织到录制的音乐中，从而可以追溯到购买交易中。音乐以固定的时间表或通过主动调度过程进行传输，该过程监视来自卫星接收机的所有或一个子集的音乐请求，并根据对各种CD的需求来调整调度。收件人存储选择可能是特定客户首选的。在天气条件，大气层运动或盘障碍导致数据丢失的情况下，系统下载所请求的CD的下一次传输，并使用两个传输来产生“良好的副本”。结合更受欢迎的音乐的全面传输，可以提供自动CD制造设施来制造不经常请求的CD，并通过地面运输分发CD。

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.
摘要翻译：通过诸如电缆连接或客户站点处的DBS集成接收器 - 解码器的“机顶盒”来接收广播信号，其将视频和音频信号提供给传统的电视接收机。当观众调谐到交互式音乐频道时，电视接收机屏幕显示其中诸如音乐视频的内容正在播放的窗口。还显示在屏幕上的是包含识别通道的高质量专业制作的图形的周边遮罩。此外，屏幕显示一个或多个“敏感”区域，观众可以使用遥控器指导光标。通过将光标指向敏感区域，该区域变为高亮显示。当敏感区域突出显示时，通过按下电视遥控器上的SELECT按钮，观众可以激活附加的屏幕显示，提供相关功能，如音乐新闻或菜单，允许观众立即购买CD，盒式磁带等产品。

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).
