INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR CONFIRMING TRANSMISSION OF BROADCAST AND SURVEYING AUDIENCE RATINGS USING SEQUENTIAL CODE FOR EACH FRAME, AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to an integrated system for confirming the transmission of a broadcast and surveying audience ratings using a sequential code for each frame, and a method thereof. The system and method are able to integrate and process the data for the transmission confirmation and the audience ratings survey by comprising the steps of: allocating an information code and a sequential code for each frame to the broadcast and a frame and inserting those two codes into a certain portion of each frame; then sending the frames to a transmitter for transmission; then detecting the information code and the sequential code from a broadcasting signal; and then allowing one system to calculate the results for both the transmission confirmation and the audience ratings survey.
