摘要： Methods for slice-based encoding of program guides and user interfaces. The program guides include multiple video streams for picture-in-picture and other applications. A method for encoding the program guide includes encoding a first set of slices for each of a plurality of graphics pages; and encoding a second set of slices for each of a plurality of video streams.The user interfaces are multi-functional and may be used for electronic commerce and other applications. A method of generating the user interface includes encoding a set of slices for each of a plurality of objects, each object being characterized by an identity, at least one attribute, and at least one operation. In one embodiment of this method, the plurality of objects include an electronic commerce object, where the electronic commerce object is attributed with a first hyper text markup language (HTML) page.A head-end centric system and apparatus for encoding and delivery of realtime and non-realtime content, including: a non-realtime content source for providing non-realtime content; a non-realtime encoder for encoding the non-realtime content into encoded non-realtime content; a realtime content source for providing realtime video and audio content; a realtime encoder for encoding the realtime video and audio content into encoded real-time video and audio; a remultiplexer for repacketizing the encoded non-realtime content and the encoded realtime video and audio into transport packets; and a re-timestamp unit coupled to the remultiplexer for providing timestamps to be applied to the transport packets in order to synchronize the realtime and non-realtime content therein.

摘要： A method and apparatus for compressing a plurality of video sequences, where each sequence has information that is common with other video sequences. The invention ensemble encodes the video sequences into an MPEG compliant transport stream using less predicted frame information than separately encoding each video sequence. One illustrative application of the invention is efficiently encoding and transmitting a user interface such as a program guide, interactive program guide, electronic program guide, navigator and the like. The user interface is illustratively embodied in an interactive program guide (IPG).

摘要： Techniques to efficiently deliver interactive program guide (IPG) to a number of terminals. Each IPG page can be decomposed into a guide portion that is specific to each IPG page and a background portion that is common for all IPG pages. The background portion can be further decomposed into a time-varying video portion and other static portions. In one method for regenerating a selected IPG page, packets with a first PID for a first sequence of pictures having included therein one or more slices defined for at least a time-varying portion (e.g., the video portion) retrieved and decoded. Packets with a second PID for a second sequence of pictures having included therein one or more slices defined for at least a portion specific to the selected IPG page (e.g., the guide portion) are also retrieved and decoded. The second sequence can be coded with one I, P, or B picture for each GOP, and can be combined as and replaces an I, P, or B picture, respectively, in the first sequence or the last picture in the GOP. The second sequence can also be coded as a one-picture GOP that can replace a B-picture, or be inserted between pair of pictures, in the first sequence.

摘要： Techniques for transmitting multiple “slices” of information for a particular location of a user interface, which can be used to present more information to a viewer for a limited-size viewing area. Multiple slices can be associated with a particular slice location of a user interface. In a first slice delivery and presentation scheme, multiple slices for a particular location of an interactive program guide (IPG) page are transmitted from the head-end at different times, and the slices can be appropriately time stamped for presentation at the designated times. In a second scheme, multiple slices are concurrently transmitted for a particular location of an IPG page, and one of the multiple slices can be selected for processing and display. In a third scheme, one slice is transmitted for each slice location, and additional slices can be transmitted for a particular location upon receiving a request from the terminal.

The payload portions of the extracted packets are then arranged to form the selected imagery.

摘要： Efficient messaging techniques that facilitate interactive program guide (IPG) delivery and allow a terminal to specifically designate requested items of information from a server. The IPG can be provided via a number of IPG pages, with each page including a number of defined regions. In one method, selection for a particular region of a particular page is received at a terminal and a determination is made whether the selected region is currently received. If the answer is no, a request for the selected region is generated and sent to a server. The request can conform to a particular message format that includes a number of fields, e.g., a region ID field that identifies the selected region, a subtype field that identifies a particular type, a time slot field that identifies a specific time slot, and a page offset field that identifies a specific page from among many.

摘要： Techniques to efficiently deliver interactive program guide (IPG). In one aspect, if an IPG page is requested by a viewer and not already transmitted, only the guide portion for the requested page is sent instead of the entire page. The requested page includes a guide portion that is specific to the requested page and a background portion that is common for a number of pages. The background portion can be continually broadcasted by the head-end. The requesting terminal is thus able to regenerate the requested page based on the demand-casted guide portion (i.e., transmitted upon request) and the continually broadcasted background portion. Alternatively, the entire requested page can be transmitted. In another aspect, instead of sending the requested guide portion continually, the guide portion is sent a limited number of times (e.g., only once, upon receiving the request). Since the guide portion for any particular page is normally static and does not change over time, sending the guide portion a limited number of times (e.g., once) is typically sufficient and greatly reduces bandwidth usage.

摘要： Indexing techniques to maintain track of IPG pages and allow a terminal to determine whether a selected IPG is currently received and available, which regions are to be assembled together to generate the selected page, and which packet identifiers (PIDs) are to be processed to recover the needed regions. In one method, a “roster” is formed which includes a number of record elements, with each record element being associated with and identifying a respective IPG page received at a terminal. Each record includes a page ID field that specifically identifies the associated IPG page. A number of fields may be included in each record element such as fields for a guide PID, a video PID, a data PID, and so on. The roster is updated to reflect changes in IPG pages received at the terminal.
