Abstract
An event capturing system for use in an integrated multimedia broadcast delivery system extending from a broadcast provider to a subscriber.
The delivery system comprises means for providing multimedia signals configured according to IP (Internet Protocol) format for multicast transmission over a broadband network and a system manager for providing interactive access to the multimedia signals by the subscriber through conversion means (being either a decoder in a set top box and a television or a decoder in a computer and a computer monitor at the subscriber's location) configured for converting the IP
multicast format signal into a format for display on a television or computer monitor.
An interactive program guide (IPG) is provided to the subscriber for accessing the broadcast signal. The event capturing system comprises an event collection component configured for identifying the occurrence of an event associated with the system manager and/or said subscriber access and for forwarding for storage in a first memory location information which identifies the event. Each of the identification of the event and storage of the event information are advantageously performed in real time. Preferably, some or all of the information is also stored in a second memory location for direct access by another component of the system manager and statistical analyses are performed based on the information stored for a plurality of the identified events.
