Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002531970
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A subscriber identification system 100 is presented in which subscriber selection data 250 including channel changes 134, volume changes 132, and time-of-day viewing information is used to identify a subscriber (user) 130 from a group of subscribers. In one instance, the subscriber selection data 250 is recorded and a signal processing algorithm such as a Fourier transform is used to produce a processed version of the subscriber selection data. The processed version of the subscriber selection data can be correlated with stored common identifiers of subscriber profiles to determine which subscriber 130 from the group is presently viewing the programming. A neural network or fuzzy logic can be used as the mechanism for identifying the subscriber 130 from clusters of information which are associated with individual subscribers.
