Verfahren sowie Anlage zur senderbezogenen Erfassung von zuhörerbezogenen Daten Process and system for the transmitter-related recording of listener-related data
BESCHREIBUNGDESCRIPTION
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren sowie eine zugehörige Anlage zur sen¬ derbezogenen Erfassung von zuhörerbezogenen Daten eines konkreten Zuhörers eines Senders innerhalb einer Vielzahl von Zuhörern.The present invention relates to a method and an associated system for the transmitter-related recording of listener-related data of a specific listener of a transmitter within a plurality of listeners.
Im Bereich der werbeunterstützten Absatzförderung von Produkten besteht ein großes Interesse daran, die Reaktionen der Adressaten einer Werbebotschaft (also z.B. des Zu¬ hörers einer bestimmten Radiosendung) zu erfassen und auszuwerten. Überlicherweise werden Zufallsbefragungen durchgeführt und wird ein begrenzter Personenkreis über bestimmte mit Werbebotschaften in Verbindung stehende Sachverhalte befragt. In die¬ sem Zusammenhang interessiert besonders, ob die befragte Person eine Werbebotschaft attraktiv und überzeugend bindet und hierdurch unter Umständen eine Kaufhandlung ausgelöst wird.In the field of advertising-supported sales promotion of products, there is great interest in recording and evaluating the reactions of the addressees of an advertising message (e.g. the listener of a specific radio broadcast). Random surveys are usually carried out and a limited group of people are interviewed about certain facts related to advertising messages. In this context, it is of particular interest whether the person interviewed binds an advertising message in an attractive and convincing manner and whether this may trigger a purchase.
Nach Auswertung einer Reihe derartiger Zufallsbefragungen eines kleineren und relativ beschränkten Personenkreises können mit Hilfe statistischer Methoden Aussagen über die Attraktivität und Wirksamkeit von Werbebotschaften für die Käufer- und Konsu¬ mentengesamtheit getroffen werden und kann gegebenenfalls die Werbebotschaft zur Absatzunterstützung des jeweiligen Produkts an die bei der Befragung zutage getretenen Bedürfhisse und Wünsche der Adressaten angepaßt werden. Das geschilderte herkömmliche Verfahren der Zuschauerbefragung ist aufgrund der Verwendung statistischer Methoden mit einer nicht unerheblichen Unsicherheit und Prognoseunschärfe behaftet. Das Verhalten des Zuhörers und potentiellen Konsumenten kann nur dokumentiert und nicht beeinflußt werden. Außerdem kann die Aufmerksam¬ keit des Zuhörers während des Sendens der Werbebotschaft nicht beeinflußt oder auf¬ rechtgehalten werden.After evaluating a series of such random surveys of a smaller and relatively limited group of people, statistical methods can be used to make statements about the attractiveness and effectiveness of advertising messages for the population of buyers and consumers and, if necessary, can send the advertising message to support the sales of the respective product to those in the survey the needs and desires of the addressees that have come to light. Due to the use of statistical methods, the described conventional method of polling viewers is associated with a not insignificant degree of uncertainty and uncertainty in forecasting. The behavior of the listener and potential consumers can only be documented and not influenced. In addition, the attention of the listener cannot be influenced or maintained during the transmission of the advertising message.
Der Erfindung liegt nunmehr die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren sowie eine Anlage anzubieten, um das Verhalten des konkreten Zuhörers während des Sendens einer Bot¬ schaft (insbesondere einer Werbebotschaft) zu erfassen und zu dokumentieren.The invention is based on the object of offering a method and a system for recording and documenting the behavior of the specific listener during the sending of a message (in particular an advertising message).
Die Aufgabe wird hinsichtlich des Verfahrens durch kennzeichnende Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen des Verfahrens werden durch die Unteransprüche 2 - 15 realisiert. Im Hinblick auf die Anlage wird die Aufgabe durch den kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 16 mit vorteilhaften Ausführungsformen in den Ansprüchen 17 und 18 gelöst.The object is achieved with respect to the method by the characterizing features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the method are realized by subclaims 2-15. With regard to the system, the object is achieved by the characterizing part of patent claim 16 with advantageous embodiments in claims 17 and 18.
Beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren ist zunächst ein Sender vorgesehen, der verschlüs¬ selte Sendebotschaften an einen Zuhörerkreis aussendet. Der Sender kann ein Rund¬ funksender oder ein Fernsehsender sein.In the method according to the invention, a transmitter is initially provided, which transmits encrypted transmission messages to an audience. The transmitter can be a radio transmitter or a television transmitter.
Die Verschlüsselung der Sendebotschaften besteht beispielsweise im Aussenden von Kennwörtern oder im deutlichen Kontrast zum sonstigen Programmverlauf stehenden Tonmustern.The encryption of the transmission messages consists, for example, of sending passwords or sound patterns that are in clear contrast to the other course of the program.
Über eine Datenverbindung ist der Sender nun mit einer Reihe zuhörerbezogener Da¬ teneingabeeinheiten (z.B. PC's) verbunden, wodurch die Betriebszustände dieser Da¬ teneingabeeinheiten erfaßt werden können.The transmitter is now connected via a data connection to a series of listener-related data input units (e.g. PCs), as a result of which the operating states of these data input units can be recorded.
Durch Eingabebefehle kann der jeweilige Zuhörer die Betriebszustände seiner Daten¬ eingabeeinheit verändern. Diese Veränderungen werden von einer sowohl mit der Da- teneingabeeinheit des Zuhörers als auch mit dem Sender in Verbindung stehenden DV- Einheit erfaßt.The respective listener can use input commands to change the operating states of his data input unit. These changes will be teneingeinheit of the listener and also connected to the transmitter connected DV unit.
Über eine derartige DV-Einheit kann die zuhörerbezogene Dateneingabeeinheit auch über Datennetzwerke mit einer beliebig großen Anzahl von weiteren Teilnehmern in Verbindung treten und Datenaustausch betreiben.Via such a DV unit, the listener-related data input unit can also connect to any number of other subscribers and operate data exchange via data networks.
Falls nun die verschlüsselten Sendebotschaften, welche der Sender (u.U. zu ganz be¬ stimmten Zeiten) aussendet und welche vom Zuhörer empfangen werden, in der Aussendung bestimmter Kennwörter besteht, welche direkt nach dem Aussenden in die zuhörerbezogene Dateneingabeeinheit einzugeben sind, erfolgt durch die Eingabe des richtigen Kennworts zum richtigen Zeitpunkt durch den Zuhörer eine Umschaltung der zuhörerbezogenen Dateneingabeeinheit in einen anderen Betriebszustand.If the encrypted transmission messages, which the transmitter sends (possibly at very specific times) and which are received by the listener, consist in the transmission of certain passwords which are to be entered into the listener-related data input unit immediately after transmission, the entry of the correct password at the right time by the listener switching the listener-related data input unit into another operating state.
Wenn die DV-Einheit nun feststellt, daß die vom Zuhörer eingegebenen Eingabebefehle mit dem vom Sender ausgesendeten Kennwort übereinstimmt, wird der aufgrund der eingegebenen Eingabebefehle erreichte Betriebszustand als „richtig" klassifiziert. Die DV-Einheit stellt also fest, daß der Zuhörer die verschlüsselte Sendebotschaft erkannt hat und dementsprechende Eingabebefehle mit einem dadurch verursachten Wechsel des Betriebszustands der zuhörerbezogenen Dateneingabeeinheit bewirkt hat.If the DV unit now determines that the input commands entered by the listener match the password sent by the transmitter, the operating state achieved on the basis of the input input commands is classified as "correct". The DV unit thus determines that the listener has the encrypted transmission message has recognized and caused corresponding input commands with a change in the operating state of the listener-related data input unit caused thereby.
Damit ist das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren in der Lage, das Empfangen einer verschlüs¬ selten Sendebotschaft durch den Zuhörer über die jeweiligen vom Zuhörer verursachten Betriebszustände der zuhörerbezogenen Dateneingabeeinheit zu erfassen und zu doku¬ mentieren.The method according to the invention is thus able to detect and document the reception of an encrypted transmission message by the listener about the respective operating states of the listener-related data input unit caused by the listener.
Falls der Zuhörer sich „richtig" verhalten hat und die gesendete verschlüsselte Sende¬ botschaft aufgenommen, verarbeitet und in entsprechende Eingabebefehle an der zuhö¬ rerbezogenen Dateneingabeeinheit umgewandelt hat, ist das angestrebte Ziel erreicht: Die Sendebotschaft wurde vom Zuhörer aktiv wahrgenommen. Durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren kann der einzelne Zuhörer nun durch „Gutschrift" einer Informationseinheit auf (z.B. durch Zeiteinheiten in Form von „Zuhörerminuten") auf dem in der zuhörerbezogenen Dateneingabeeinheit eingerichte¬ ten Speicher „belohnt" werden. Es kann also ein „Guthabenkonto" eingerichtet werden, welches abhängig von den Betriebszuständen der zuhörerbezogenen Dateneingabeein¬ heit aufgestockt wird. Der Zuhörer kann für sein aktives und langdauerndes Zuhören „belohnt" werden, wenn er beispielsweise einen derartigen „Guthabenkontostand" (z.B. in Form von gesammelten „Zuhörerminuten") vergütet bekommt oder etwa an einer Tombola teilnehmen darf.If the listener has behaved "correctly" and has recorded, processed and converted the encrypted broadcast message sent into corresponding input commands at the listener-related data input unit, the desired goal has been achieved: the broadcast message was actively perceived by the listener. By means of the method according to the invention, the individual listener can now be “rewarded” by “crediting” an information unit (for example by time units in the form of “listener minutes”) on the memory set up in the listener-related data input unit. A “credit account” can therefore be set up which is increased depending on the operating states of the listener-related data input unit. The listener can be "rewarded" for his active and prolonged listening if, for example, he receives such a "credit balance" (eg in the form of collected "audience minutes") or is allowed to participate in a raffle.
Natürlich kann der „Guthabenkontostand" des Speichers der zuhörerbezogenen Daten¬ eingabeeinheit auch von der DV-Einheit einfach als Überblick über die Verweildauer des Zuhörers bei einer bestimmten Sendebotschaft abgefragt werden und dient damit als wichtiges Hilfsmittel zur Erfassung des Zuhörerverhaltens in bezug auf bestimmte Sen¬ debotschaften.Of course, the "credit account balance" of the memory of the listener-related data input unit can also be simply queried by the DV unit as an overview of the length of time the listener stays with a specific broadcast message and thus serves as an important aid for recording the listener behavior in relation to specific broadcast messages .
Im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik ist somit ein direkter On-Line-Zugriff auf den einzelnen Zuhörer möglich. Aufwendige und mit einer Prognoseunsicherheit behaftete Befragungen von Einzelpersonen unter Zuhilfenahme ungenauer statistischer Methoden können somit vermieden werden.In contrast to the prior art, direct online access to the individual listener is possible. Time-consuming surveys of individuals with the help of inaccurate statistical methods can therefore be avoided.
Die Empfangswirksamkeit der jeweiligen verschlüsselten Sendebotschaften ist direkt an den Betriebszuständen der zuhörerbezogenen Dateneingabeeinheiten ablesbar und kann somit durch Änderung der verschlüsselten Sendebotschaften und Neuerfassung der Be¬ triebszustände der Dateneingabeeinheiten verbessert und optimiert werden.The reception effectiveness of the respective encrypted transmission messages can be read directly from the operating states of the listener-related data input units and can thus be improved and optimized by changing the encrypted transmission messages and re-recording the operating states of the data input units.
Abhängig von den Betriebszuständen der jeweiligen Dateneingabeeinheiten kann die DV-Einheit, die zwischen der zuhörerbezogenen Dateneingabeeinheit und dem Sender angeordnet ist, eine Weiterverbindung der jeweiligen zuhörerbezogenen Dateneingabe¬ einheit mit ebenfalls an ein Datennetz angeschlossenen Teilnehmern bewirken. Zur Inbetriebsetzung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist es erforderlich, daß der je¬ weilige Zuhörer die ihm zugeordnete Dateneingabeeinheit aktiviert. Dies kann durch Eingabe von Schlüsselwörtern oder durch Einführen einer codierten Kennkarte gesche¬ hen. Erst dann ist die jeweilige zuhörerbezogene Dateneingabeeinheit an die zentrale DV-Einheit angeschlossen und steht damit auch mit dem Sender in Verbindung. Im Falle der Aktivierung über Kennkarten bieten sich auch in handelsübliche Kreditkarten oder Euro-Cheque-Karten integrierte Kennkarten an.Depending on the operating states of the respective data input units, the DV unit, which is arranged between the listener-related data input unit and the transmitter, can effect a further connection of the respective listener-related data input unit with subscribers likewise connected to a data network. To start up the method according to the invention, it is necessary for the respective listener to activate the data input unit assigned to him. This can be done by entering keywords or by inserting a coded identification card. Only then is the respective listener-related data input unit connected to the central DV unit and is therefore also connected to the transmitter. In the case of activation via identification cards, identification cards integrated in standard credit cards or Euro Check cards are also available.
Außerdem kann eine derartige Kennkarte mit einem Speichermedium versehen sein, in welches beispielsweise Daten des in die zuhörerbezogene Dateneingabeeinheit integrier¬ ten Speichers eingespielt werden und somit beispielsweise der „Guthabenkontostand" direkt auf der Kennkarte des Zuhörers vermerkt werden kann.In addition, such an identification card can be provided with a storage medium into which, for example, data from the memory integrated in the listener-related data input unit can be loaded and thus, for example, the "credit balance" can be noted directly on the identification card of the listener.
Indem eine derartige mit einem Speichermedium versehene Kennkarte in eine externe Dateneinheit abgefragt wird, ist es möglich, die Auswertung der Speicherinformationen der Kennkarte unabhängig vom Standort der zuhörerbezogenen Dateneingabeeinheit durchzuführen.By querying such an identification card provided with a storage medium in an external data unit, it is possible to carry out the evaluation of the storage information of the identification card independently of the location of the listener-related data input unit.
Die erfindungsgemäße Anlage sieht neben einem Sender eine DV-Einheit vor, welche mit zuhörerbezogenen Dateneingabeeinheiten zur Abfrage der Betriebszustände in Verbindung steht und außerdem Verbindungen zu weiteren Teilnehmern eines (externen) Datennetzes besitzt und herstellen kann. Über die in Abhängigkeit von den verschlüsselten Sendeinformationen vom Zuhörer an der zuhörerbezogenen Datenein¬ gabeeinheit eingegebenen Eingabebefehle werden die Betriebszustände der zuhörerbe¬ zogenen Dateneingabeeinheiten verändert, was durch Abfrage der DV-Einheit erfaßt werden kann.In addition to a transmitter, the system according to the invention provides a DV unit, which is connected to listener-related data input units for querying the operating states and also has and can establish connections to other participants in an (external) data network. The operating states of the listener-related data entry units are changed via the input commands entered as a function of the encrypted transmission information from the listener at the listener-related data entry unit, which can be detected by querying the DV unit.
Die Dateneingabeeinheit kann nun zum einen als stationäre Dateneingabestation (z.B. PC) ausgeführt sein oder zum anderen als nichtstationäres Mobileingabeelement, wel¬ ches beispielsweise in miniaturisierter Form ausgeführt ist und vom Zuhörer ständig mitgeführt werden kann. Besonders interessante Ausführungsformen ergeben sich, wenn derartige Mobileinga¬ beelemente vom Zuhörer bei sich getragen werden und an jeder beliebigen Stelle, an der eine Sendebotschaft empfangen wird (z.B. in Wartehallen oder im Taxi) eine Eingabe von Eingabebefehlen vorgenommen werden kann.The data input unit can now be designed, on the one hand, as a stationary data input station (for example a PC) or, on the other hand, as a non-stationary mobile input element, which is designed, for example, in a miniaturized form and can be constantly carried by the listener. Particularly interesting embodiments result when such mobile input elements are carried by the listener and at any point at which a broadcast message is received (for example in waiting rooms or in a taxi) input commands can be made.
Ein mit Eingabebefehlen „gefüttertes" Mobileingabeelement kann dann beispielsweise an eine zuhörerbezogene stationäre Dateneingabestation zur Datenabfrage angeschlos¬ sen werden und es können Betriebszustände über die DV-Einheit abgefragt werden.A mobile input element "fed" with input commands can then be connected, for example, to a listener-related stationary data input station for data interrogation, and operating states can be interrogated via the DV unit.
Eine weitere Ausführungsform besteht darin, daß das Mobileingabeelement direkten Funkkontakt mit der DV-Einheit hat und die Eingabebefehle des Mobileingabeelemen¬ tes sowie die hieraus resultierenden Betriebszustände direkt von der DV-Einheit abge¬ fragt werden.A further embodiment consists in that the mobile input element has direct radio contact with the DV unit and the input commands of the mobile input element and the resulting operating states are queried directly by the DV unit.
Verfahren und Anlage sind anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen in den Zeichnungsfigu¬ ren näher erläutert. Es zeigen:The method and system are explained in more detail using exemplary embodiments in the drawing figures. Show it:
Fig.1 eine Anlage mit stationären Dateneingabestationen sowie1 shows a system with stationary data entry stations as well
Fig.2 eine Anlage mit nicht-stationären Mobileingabeelementen.2 shows a system with non-stationary mobile input elements.
Fig. 1 zeigt einen Sender 1, der über eine Datenverbindung 3 mit einer DV-Einheit 5 verbunden ist. Diese DV-Einheit 5 ist mit einer stationären zuhörerbezogenen Datenein¬ gabestation 4 und mit einer Reihe von Teilnehmern T{ -TN verbunden. Weitere zuhörer¬ bezogene Dateneingabestationen 4' und 4" können wahlweise aktiviert oder (wie in Fig. 1 abgebildet) deaktiviert mit der DV-Einheit 5 verbunden sein und sukzessive zuge¬ schaltet bzw. simultan durch die DV-Einheit 5 abgefragt werden. Der Zuhörer 2 vernimmt eine Sendebotschaft 7 des Senders und versetzt daraufhin die ihm zugeordnete Dateneingabestation 4 durch Eingabebefehle in unterschiedliche Be¬ triebszustände, die von der DV-Einheit 5 abgefragt werden.1 shows a transmitter 1 which is connected to a DV unit 5 via a data connection 3. This DV unit 5 is connected to a stationary listener-related data input station 4 and to a number of subscribers T { -T N. Further listener-related data input stations 4 'and 4 "can optionally be activated or (as shown in FIG. 1) deactivated connected to the DV unit 5 and successively switched on or queried simultaneously by the DV unit 5. The listener 2 hears a transmission message 7 from the transmitter and thereupon sets the data input station 4 assigned to him into different operating states by input commands which are queried by the DV unit 5.
Falls die vom Zuhörer 2 eingegebenen Eingabebefehle mit Verschlüsselungen der Sen¬ debotschaft 7 übereinstimmen, stellt die DV-Einheit 5 diesen Zustand der Übereinstim¬ mung fest und spielt in einen in die Dateneingabestation 4 integrierten Speicher 6 eine Information ein, die beispielsweise den „Guthabenkontostand" des Zuhörers 2 symboli¬ siert. Abhängig von der Reaktion des Zuhörers 2 auf die Sendebotschaft 7 kann der Zu¬ hörer 2 die Dateneingabestation 4 desöfteren in von der DV-Einheit 5 als „richtig" er¬ kannte Betriebszustände zu versetzen, wodurch der Zuhörer 2 durch Aufstockung des Kontos der Informationseinheiten im Speicher 6 „belohnt" wird.If the input commands entered by the listener 2 match the encodings of the transmission message 7, the DV unit 5 determines this state of conformity and imports information into a memory 6 integrated in the data entry station 4, which for example shows the “credit balance” symbolizes the listener 2. Depending on the reaction of the listener 2 to the transmission message 7, the listener 2 can often set the data input station 4 into operating states recognized by the DV unit 5 as “correct”, as a result of which the listener 2 is "rewarded" by increasing the account of the information units in the memory 6.
Die DV-Einheit 5 dient außerdem zur Herstellung einer direkten Verbindung zum Da¬ tenaustausch mit den Teilnehmern Tx - TN.The DV unit 5 also serves to establish a direct connection for data exchange with the subscribers T x - T N.
Während Fig. 1 stationäre Dateneingabestationen 4, 4' und 4" zeigt (z.B. PC's), die über Kabelverbindung mit der DV-Einheit 5 in Verbindung stehen, sind im Ausfuhrungsbei¬ spiel nach Fig. 2 Mobileingabeelemente 8, 8' und 8" abgebildet, die durch Aussenden von Funkbotschaften 9 mit der DV-Einheit 5 in Verbindung stehen und auch von dieser (im Prinzip ähnlich wie eine stationäre Dateneingabestation 4) abgefragt und verwaltet werden können.1 shows stationary data input stations 4, 4 'and 4 "(for example PCs) which are connected to the DV unit 5 via a cable connection, in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2 mobile input elements 8, 8' and 8" are shown which are connected to the DV unit 5 by sending radio messages 9 and can also be queried and managed by the latter (in principle similar to a stationary data input station 4).
Derartige Mobileingabeelemente 8, 8' und 8" können vom Zuhörer 2 problemlos mitge¬ führt werden. Such mobile input elements 8, 8 'and 8 "can easily be carried along by the listener 2.
