    • An electronic programming guide (EPG) resides in a user interface unit memory and is executable on the processor of the user interface unit to organize programming information that is descriptive of the programs supplied over an interactive entertainment system. The EPG supports a user interface (UI) which visually correlates programs titles to scheduled viewing times. A hyperlink browser also resides in memory and is executable on the processor. One or more hyperlinks, which reference target resources containing interactive content related to the video programs, are integrated as part of the EPG UI. When a viewer activates a hyperlink within the EPG, the user interface unit launches the browser to activate the target resource specified by the hyperlink. The instruction might cause the visual display unit to tune to the program or channel represented by the particular label, or to initiate procedures to record the program when it begins playing, or to jump to a related target resource, such as a Web site.

    • An interactive entertainment system has a program provider which distributes video content programs to multiple subscribers over a distribution network. Each subscriber has a user interface unit which receives the digital video program and converts it for display on a television, monitor, or other display unit. The user interface unit has a processor and memory. An electronic programming guide (EPG) resides in the memory and is executable on the processor to organize programming information that is descriptive of the programs supplied over the interactive entertainment system. The EPG supports a user interface (UI) which visually correlates programs titles to scheduled viewing times. A hyperlink browser also resides in memory and is executable on the processor. One or more hyperlinks, which reference target resources containing interactive content related to the video programs, are integrated as part of the EPG UI. The hyperlinks can be placed in the program tiles, channel tiles, or description area, and can be situated alone or embedded within other text. When a viewer activates a hyperlink within the EPG, the user interface unit launches the browser to activate the target resource specified by the hyperlink. The data retrieved from the target resource is then displayed on the display unit. The viewer can also drag a particular program or channel label from its location within the EPG UI and drop the label at another location on the display unit. This drag-and-drop operation associates an instruction with the label that will execute in response to activation of the label. The instruction might cause the visual display unit to tune to the program or channel represented by the particular label, or to initiate procedures to record the program when it begins playing, or to jump to a related target resource, such as a Web site.
    • 交互式娱乐系统具有通过分发网络将视频内容节目分发给多个用户的节目提供者。 每个用户具有接收数字视频节目并将其转换以在电视,监视器或其他显示单元上显示的用户接口单元。 用户接口单元具有处理器和存储器。 电子编程指南(EPG)位于存储器中并且可在处理器上执行以组织描述通过交互式娱乐系统提供的程序的编程信息。 EPG支持用户界面(UI),视觉上将节目标题与计划的观看时间相关联。 超链接浏览器也驻留在内存中,并且可以在处理器上执行。 将包含与视频节目相关的交互式内容的目标资源引用的一个或多个超链接作为EPG UI的一部分被集成。 超链接可以放置在程序图块,通道图块或描述区域中,并且可以单独放置或嵌入其他文本中。 当观众激活EPG中的超链接时,用户界面单元启动浏览器来激活超链接指定的目标资源。 然后从目标资源检索的数据显示在显示单元上。 观众还可以从EPG UI中的位置拖动特定的节目或频道标签,并将标签放在显示单元上的另一个位置。 该拖放操作将指令与标签相关联,以响应标签的激活而执行。 该指令可能导致视觉显示单元调谐到由特定标签表示的程序或通道,或者开始播放程序时记录程序,或跳转到相关目标资源(如网站)。

    • In a broadcast system in which computer data and other content are delivered from multiple content servers to multiple clients at least partly over a broadcast network, a transmission announcement system announces upcoming broadcast transmissions and instructs the clients on how to receive the broadcast transmissions. Announcement servers (which may or may not be the same as the content servers which serve the data for the broadcast transmissions) generate announcements containing information specifying how associated upcoming transmissions are to be delivered over the broadcast network. The announcement server makes the announcements available to the clients over the broadcast network or over a secondary link other than the broadcast network. As possible examples of the secondary link, the announcement servers might send the announcements to a multicast address over a public network, such as the Internet, or post the announcements at a publicly accessible site on a data network, such as a Web site on the Internet. The clients receive the announcements via the broadcast network or the secondary link. The clients filter the announcements according to predetermined criteria, keeping the announcements satisfying the criteria and discarding the rest. The client searches the announcements that are kept to extract information pertaining to retrieval of the broadcast transmission (e.g., a broadcast protocol, a broadcast locator, a transmission time, etc.). The client then tunes a broadcast receiver to the broadcast locator and launches a receiving application to receive the transmission according to the broadcast protocol.
    • 在其中计算机数据和其他内容至少部分地通过广播网络从多个内容服务器传送到多个客户端的广播系统中,传输通知系统通知即将到来的广播传输,并指示客户端如何接收广播传输。 公告服务器(其可能与服务于广播传输的数据的内容服务器可能不一样)生成包含指定如何通过广播网络传递相关的即将到来的传输的信息的通知。 通告服务器通过广播网络或广播网络以外的辅助链路向客户端发布通知。 作为辅助链路的可能示例,通告服务器可以通过诸如因特网的公共网络将通知发送到多播地址,或者在数据网络上的可公开访问的站点上发布公告,诸如网络上的网站 互联网。 客户端通过广播网络或辅助链路接收通知。 客户端根据预先确定的标准对公告进行过滤,保持公告满足标准,弃权。 客户端搜索保留的公告来提取与广播传输的检索有关的信息(例如,广播协议,广播定位器,传输时间等)。 然后,客户端将广播接收机调谐到广播定位器,并启动接收应用以根据广播协议接收传输。
