    [Claim(s)] 【特許請求の範囲】 1 通信回路網に介入した標準テレビジヨン受像機を各自有する加入者にテレビジヨン番組を提供するために、所定番組を構成するテレビジヨン信号を複数個の符号化モードの中から選択した一つのモードに従つて符号化すると共に、前記番組を表す番組識別番号を前記テレビジヨン信号中に予定の瞬時に挿入し、該番組識別番号が挿入された符号化テレビジヨン信号を送信する符号化送信装置を設け;各加入者に対しては、送信されたテレビジヨン信号の受信装置と、前記番組識別番号を検出し、これに対応する番組識別信号を発生する番組識別番号検出装置と、前記加入者の操作により、該加入者が前記番組を受け取ることを表す受取信号を発生する受取信号発生装置と、前記番組識別番号を記憶する第一組の記憶位置群、加入者識別番号を記憶する第二組の記憶位置群、及び前記番組識別番号によりアドレスされ、各々が前記複数個の符号化モードの各々に対応する複数個の番組指定番号を記憶する第三組の記憶位置群を有する主記憶装置と、前記番組識別番号検出装置及び前記受取信号発生装置に接続され、前記受取信号を受けたときにのみ、前記検出した番組識別信号を前記第一組の記憶位置群中に記録することにより、前記加入者が受け取つた番組を表す番組識別番号のみを該第一組の記憶位置群中に記憶させる記録装置と、前記主記憶装置と前記通信回路網の間に介挿され、前記加入者識別番号及び前記番組識別番号を読み取り、それぞれ対応する加入者及び番組識別信号を発生し、これら信号を前記通信回路網に供給する読取装置と、前記番組識別番号検出装置及び前記主記憶装置に接続され、前記第三組の記憶位置群中、前記番組識別番号により表された記憶位置をアドレスして対応する番組指定番号を読取り、該読取つた番組指定番号を出力する読取装置と、前記番組指定番号読取装置により出力された前記番組指定番号を制御入力端子に受け、その制御の下に前記受信テレビジヨン信号を復号する復号化装置と、を設ける一方;前記通信回路網に接続され、前記加入者識別信号及び番組識別信号を受信し、これら信号に応答して加入者の受け取つた番組に対する料金を計算する中央計算装置を設けると共に;該中央計算装置が前記番組識別番号を受信したときにのみ、前記複数個の符号化モードの中におけるモード変化に対応して更新された番組指定番号を供給し、前記第三組の記憶位置への記憶を許すことにより、料金計算データが該中央計算装置により受信されるまで、前記符号化されたテレビジヨン信号の適正な復号を阻止するようにしたこと;を特徴とする有料テレビジヨンシステム。 One side comprising:;it is connected to said communication circuit network, Only when said member discernment signal and a program discernment signal were received, a central computing device which calculates a fee to a member's receptacle I got it. program by answering these signals is formed and central;this computing device receives said program identification number, Until fee calculated data is received by the central computing device by supplying a program specification number updated corresponding to mode change in said two or more coding modes, and allowing memory to said memory site of the third set, A pay television system characterized by thing;for which proper decoding of a television signal coded [ said ] was prevented, 1 Since Member Who Has Standard Television Receiving Set Which Intervened in Communication Circuit Network Each One is Provided with Television Program, the one mode which chose a television signal which constitutes a predetermined program from two or more coding modes -- therefore -- while coding A receiving set of a television signal which formed a coding sending set which transmits a coding television signal which inserted a program identification number showing said program into said television signal in the instant which is a schedule, and with which the program identification number was inserted, and was transmitted to;each member, A program identification number detecting device which detects said program identification number and generates a program discernment signal corresponding to this, A receipt signal generation device which generates a receipt signal by which it denotes that the member receives said program by said member's operation, A main memory unit which has a memory site group of the third set which memorizes two or more program specification numbers to which an address is carried out by a memory site group of the first set which memorizes said program identification number, a memory site group of the second set which memorizes a member identification number, and said program identification number, and each corresponds to each in two or more of said coding modes, Only when it is connected to said program identification number detecting device and said receipt signal generation device and said receipt signal is received, a program discernment signal which detected [ said ] is recorded into said memory site group of the first set, A recorder which makes only a program identification number which said member wins popularity and expresses a I got it. program memorize in the memory site group of the first set, A reading device which is inserted between said main memory unit and said communication circuit network, reads said member identification number and said program identification number, generates a member corresponding, respectively and a program discernment signal, and supplies these signals to said communication circuit network, A reading device which is connected to said program identification number detecting device and said main memory unit, reads a program specification number which carries out the address of the memory site expressed by said program identification number, and corresponds among said memory site group of the third set, and outputs the reading Ivy program specification number, A decoding device which receives said program specification number outputted by said program specification number reading device in a control input terminal, and decodes said receiving television signal under the control.
