Definitions
- the present invention relates to a subliminal message system and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for processing subliminal audio and video messages for television signals.
- the first approach involves providing dedicated preprogrammed tapes with the subliminal messaging edited into the tape itself. This approach allows the use of non-real-time subliminal messages. However, this approach fails to provide a method of changing the messages without having to buy additional tapes. Moreover, by its nature, this approach precludes the viewing of any real-time television programs while the tape is being used.
- the second approach involves providing an antenna switch apparatus that switches one of two signals (either the RF TV signal or an externally generated RF "subliminal” message) onto the television receiver input. While this second approach allows the use of real-time subliminal messages, the affect is a degradation of the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of the actual television signal. In other words, the input RF signal is degraded by the RF switching mechanism used to interject the occasional message.
- SNR Signal to Noise Ratio
- This second approach must use externally generated timing and synchronization signals for horizontal and vertical retrace operations. These signals provide phase shifted information to the television's control circuitry, resulting in distortion of the image displayed on the screen. Furthermore, this second approach does not allow for consistent placement of the subliminal video message on the screen, does not allow for audio information to be added as a subliminal influence, and cannot produce subliminal messaging while viewing prerecorded tapes. There are several earlier patents that attempt to produce subliminal messaging, many of them dealing only with motion pictures or prerecorded tapes. Only patents relating to the introduction of real-time subliminal messages onto the screen and/or through the speakers of the television set are in any way comparable to the present system.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,616,261 to Crawford, et al (issued October 7, 1986) .
- a dedicated home computer is used as the source of the subliminal messaging.
- the computer is programmed to produce subliminal video messages as well as horizontal and vertical synchronization pulses that are then up- converted in frequency with an RF modulator.
- This RF signal is then introduced into one leg of an RF switch, with the other leg of the switch being the actual RF television signal.
- the television signal is the signal normally allowed to pass through the switch and onto the receiver of the television.
- the computer generated subliminal message is switched in and the normal television signal is switched out in order to illuminate the screen with the "subliminal" message.
- This approach attempts to provide the subliminal messaging, but falls short because of several reasons, for example:
- the normal television signal is cut out during the period of time that the subliminal message is being displayed. The effect of this can be very observable, thus negating any "subliminal" affect generated by the message.
- the vertical scan rate for NTSC television is 60 frames a second. Even if the computer and switch were fast enough (which they're not) to introduce the message for the shortest possible duration (1/60 of a second) , the blanking of the normal television screen image would produce a very noticeable flicker on the screen. 2.
- the entire television image is replaced with a subliminal message enclosed in a white or black background, rather than the more "subliminal" approach of introducing the subliminal message on top of the normal image at a viewer selectable intensity.
- the horizontal and vertical sync pulses generated by the computer are not synchronized with the equivalent signals provided by the internal circuitry of the television's receiver. This leads to timing and phase distortion that can lead to "tearing" of the image produced on the screen as well as to lost chrominance information (especially severe as the repetition rate of the introduction of the subliminal message is increased) that will adversely affect the displayed color effects.
- embodiments of the present system utilize only the horizontal and vertical sync pulses generated by the receiver of the television itself, so there is no possibility of corruption.
- the apparatus produces only video subliminal messages, rather than both video and audio subliminal messages. 5. The apparatus cannot subliminally influence prerecorded video tapes.
- a television signal is received by a video cassette recorder (VCR) .
- VCR video cassette recorder
- the VCR includes a demodulator which operates to separate the video baseband signal and the audio baseband signal from the television signal.
- the video baseband signal is supplied to a video circuit and the audio baseband is supplied to an audio circuit.
- Subliminal message information is pre-recorded on a floppy disk.
- Information is read from the floppy disk via a floppy disk drive and a disk controller command circuit.
- the information read from the floppy disk is supplied to the video and audio circuits.
- information corresponding to the video portion of a subliminal message is added to the video baseband signal. Prior to such adding, the intensity of the information signals corresponding to the video subliminal message is adjusted.
- information signals corresponding to an audio subliminal message are added to the audio baseband signal.
- the intensity of the information signals corresponding to the audio subliminal message are adjusted prior to being added to the audio baseband signal.
- the resulting video and audio signals are then combined and modulated to produce a resulting television signal.
- the resulting television signal is then supplied to a television.
- Embodiments of the present invention incorporate state of the art electronic techniques and devices in order to integrate viewer selectable subliminal messages with real-time television programing.

- VSR Video/ udio Subliminal Reprogramer
- the television signal source 10 can be, for example, an antennae or a cable
- VCR Video Cassette Recorder
- VSR Video/Audio Subliminal Reprogramer 16.
- the VSR contains the intelligent circuitry required to perform the following tasks:
- Figure 1 illustrates a block diagram of the six principal sub-blocks of the VSR 16. These sub-blocks are composed of: - A Floppy Disk Drive 19.
- Circuit 20 A Video Signal Generation Circuit 21. An Audio Signal Generation Circuit 22. A Modulator 23.
- the Floppy Disk 15 is the medium used to store the digitized audio and video subliminal data.
- other suitable storage media are considered to be within the scope of the present invention.
- the subliminal data may be stored by memory chips, speech synthesizing chips, laser discs or magnetic tapes.
- the Disk Controller Command Circuit (DCCC) 20 provides the interface and control necessary to properly access that subliminal data.
- the entire function of Floppy Disk data access is provided by a single chip, the Floppy Disk Subsystem Controller 25, illustrated in Figure 3.
- the Audio Circuit 22 shown in Figure 2 is provided in greater detail by Figure 4.
- An address generator 26 is used to sequence through the memory when either writing data into it (from the Floppy Disk) , or when reading data from it (prior to adding it to the television audio signal) .
- the memory bank 27 is used to temporarily store the audio information after it has been read off the disk and before it is used to create a 0
- the digital to analog (D/A) converter 28 is provided for this function.
- the subliminal audio signal is converted to its analog equivalent, it is added by an adder 30 to the baseband audio television signal 14 in a proportion determined by the variable resistor 29 shown in Figure 4.
- the newly combined signal is then ready to be combined with the video signal (e.g., by a signal multiplexor), modulated (e.g., by a signal modulator) , and then sent to the television.
- the Video circuit 21 of Figure 2 is further illustrated in Figure 5.
- digitized video data is read off or- * the disk and stored in a memory bank 31 prior to being processed and sent to the television.
- This video information is stored into the video memory bank 31 with the assistance of the address generator 32 shown in the Figure 5.
- the address generator 32 is used to sequence the data out of memory and into the next processing stage.
- Each horizontal line of a television video image is composed of a set number of characters, in our case there are 32 of them in one line.
- the addresses of the next 32 video characters, stored in the video memory bank 31 are written into the First In First Out (FIFO) storage element 33.
- FIFO First In First Out
- Each of these addresses is then applied to the address input of the Character Generator Prom 34.
- the unique character stored in the Character Generator Prom 34 and selected by this address is then loaded into a Parallel In to Serial Out converter (PISO) 35.
- PISO Parallel In to Serial Out converter
- the PISO 1 shifts the selected subliminal video character, one bit at a time, into one leg of the adder 36 when it is combined with the raw television video image information.
- a bit can only have one of two values, either 0 or 1 (on or off) , therefore each bit presented to the adder will either cause a small portion of the displayed image to appear white (1) or to be completely unaffected (0) .
- the normal television signal is not interfered with, but only added to in order to "overwrite" the original signal for a small segment or pixel of the display.
- the arrangement of these l's or O's determines the subliminal image that overwrites the normal television image.
- the intensity of each added 1 is determined by the variable resistor 37 shown prior to the adder 36.
- the level of intensity is one of the two variables that determine the degree to which the added video message is subliminal or supraliminal.
- the other variable is the repetition rate of the message itself.
- the subliminal video message can be added to the raw television message with varying repetition rates.
- the vertical scan rate (the rate at which new complete video images are updated on the screen) of NTSC television is 60 cycles a second. That implies that the fastest a new image can be shown is 1/60 of a second. Therefore, the fastest one can interject a subliminal signal onto the television screen is also at that 1/60 of a second rate. That rate directly influences the persistence of the Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) , or television screen and therefore determines the intensity level that the added subliminal message should not surpass in order to remain unconscious to the casual viewer.
- CTR Cathode Ray Tube
- the repetition range can vary.
- the repetition rate (or frequency) is user selectable via a repetition switch 42 (e.g., a multiposition user selectable switch).
- the repetition switch 42 operates to initialize a vertical sync counter 38.
- the vertical sync counter 38 determines that the selectable number of images have been displayed and that the new image is the one which includes a subliminal message. That is, the vertical sync counter 38 determines the period of time between subliminal messages.
- the switch settings on the multiposition user selectable switch 42 one can vary the period of time between subliminal messages.
- the highest repetition rate is achieved by showing a new subliminal message during each new image that the television produces (60 times a second) .
- the lowest repetition rate is the result of only showing a message once for 1/60 of a second and then never again. More likely a value somewhere between is chosen and, according to an embodiment of the present invention, is an option available to the user.
- a subliminal switch 44 is closed allowing the subliminal message to be added to the raw television signal.
- the input television signal is transmitted with synchronizing (sync) signals that the television circuitry requires in order to interpret the video information.
- sync synchronizing
- the vertical sync signal indicates that the end of the present image has arrived and that it is time to return to the top of the r television screen so that the next image can be transmitted.
- the horizontal sync signal informs the circuitry that the end of the one horizontal line of an 13
- the image counter circuit 38 determines that the selectable number of images have been displayed and that the new image is the one to have a subliminal message added to it. This is accomplished by counting the necessary number of vertical sync pulses. Following this, the location of the subliminal message is established by counting a selectable number of horizontal lines after the start of the image. This is accomplished by counting the horizontal sync pulses with a horizontal sync counter 39. At this point, the subliminal video is added to the original television signal until another horizontal sync counter 40 determines that the message is complete, shutting off the subliminal contribution to the image. Following this, the cycle begins anew by counting the selectable number of images, etc.
- repetition switch 42 operates to provide a user selectable message repetition rate or frequency.
- the location switch 43 (e.g., a multiposition user selectable switch) , however, operates to provide a user selectable video message location. That is, by changing the switch setting of the location switch 43, one can vary the location of the subliminal message with respect to the television signal image. As shown in Fig. 5, the location switch 43 is arranged to selectively initialize the horizontal sync pulse counter 39. Since the horizontal sync pulse counter 39 determines the location of each subliminal message added to the television signal, by changing the switch setting of the location switch 43, one can thereby change the location of the added subliminal message image.
- a user actuable switch 45 (labeled slow switch) arranged to allow (upon being closed) subliminal message information to bypass the variable resistor 37 and, thus, be supplied to the adder 36 at full intensity.
- a signal (labeled slow) is supplied to the vertical sync pulse counter 38.
- the repetition switch 42 Upon receiving a slow signal, the repetition switch 42 is set to a maximum repetition rate (e.g., a message repetition of 60 times per second) . That is, the slow signal operates as a control signal for controlling the repetition switch 42. With the repetition switch 42 set at a maximum repetition rate, a "subliminal" message is repeated at a rate which allows a viewer to supraliminally view the message.
- the intelligence necessary to arbitrate and control all the operations described above is provided by the Main System Control subsystem 24 illustrated in Figure 2. A more in-depth look is provided by Figure 6.
- the overall system level control is provided by the microprocessor 41 (e.g., a 68008 microprocessor).
- the microprocessor 41 is responsible for several functions including: - controlling the transfer of video and audio data from the Floppy Disk 15 via the Floppy Disk Controller 20.
- PALs Programable Array Logic
- the audio and video baseband signals roust be modulated and presented to the signal input of the television set.
- the modulator 23 combines the audio and video portions of the baseband signal and modulates the resultant signal, providing an output compatible for the input of either channel 3 or channel 4 of the television set.
- the net effect then is to use the VCR 11 to demodulate any of the various input channels and convert the signal down to a standard baseband signal.
- the VSR processes this signal and up- converts it to one of two selectable channels for subsequent viewing.
- the overall effect of all these interrelated circuit subsystems is to produce an accurately controllable, user selectable, apparatus that provides both audio and video subliminal messaging for the first time.

Abstract
Dans les modes illustrés de réalisation, un signal de télévision (en 10) est reçu par un magnétoscope à cassette (VCR) (11). Le signal de bande de base vidéo est envoyé à un circuit vidéo et le signal de bande de base audio est envoyé à un circuit audio. Les informations de message subliminal sont préenregistrées sur un disque souple (15). Les informations sont lues du disque souple par l'intermédiaire d'une unité à disque et d'un circuit de commande de disque (20). Les informations lues du disque souple sont envoyées aux circuits vidéo et audio (21, 22). Dans le circuit vidéo, les informations correspondant à la partie vidéo d'un message subliminal sont ajoutées au signal de bande de base vidéo. Avant cette addition, l'intensité des signaux d'information correspondant au message subliminal vidéo est ajustée. Dans le circuit audio, les signaux d'information correspondant à un message subliminal audio sont ajoutés au signal de bande de base audio. L'intensité des signaux d'information correspondant au message subliminal audio est ajustée (en 29) avant de les ajouter (en 30) au signal de bande de base audio. Les signaux vidéo et audio obtenus sont ensuite modulés (en 23) pour produire un signal de télévision.
