    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically discriminate information in which a viewer of a television is interested by providing a processor to generate an identifier related to an information segment to be constituted by performing processing and including an information processor as a part of an information stream for the television output in the information segment.
    SOLUTION: A communication signal is received and a transport stream is generated by a TCD:120. The transport stream is multiplexed, separated, individual information streams 185 are generated, and addresses of respective streams are compared with an address of the TCD:120 by a demultiplexer. When the addresses coincide, the selected information stream 185 is transmitted to a proper device by a selector. The identifiers regarding the information streams 185 are generated by an information processor and the processor in the TCD:120. The identifiers are compared with one another, and when the information stream 185 in which the viewer is interested is found, an instruction is given to the selector to select one or plural information streams 185 by a profile sub-system.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for a television viewer to identify and selectively view the information stream of a television system and a part of it. SOLUTION: This television companion device(TCD) is provided with a communication transceiver capable of receiving signals from a television receiver 102 provided with one or plural types of information separated from broadcasting signals received by the television receiver 102 and output for presenting the one or plural segments of the one or plural types of the information. The device enables the individual viewing of the information especially selected for the individual. Also, the device transmits one or plural messages to a television by the communication transceiver and thus, can be provided with input capable of transmitting the request of obtaining the information by the viewer to the television or transmitting the message to the other television companion device.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a television audience to discriminate an information stream or its part of a television system and to selectively view it by permitting each information type to include a television receiver in which each information type has a segment and a television transmitter for transmitting a transmission signal to a television companion device. SOLUTION: This device includes a television receiver in which each information type has a segment and a television transmitter for transmitting a transmission signal to a television companion device. A television 100 displays contents to a general audience 65 and communicates with plural television companion devices(TCD) 120 by way of communication links 109 and 121. The television 100 has to perform selection for the general audience 65 but a stream 185 for an individual audience 65 can be selected by the television 100 or the TCD 120. When the stream 185 is selected, the stream 185 for the general audience 65 is outputted onto the television 100. The stream 185 selected for the individual audience 65 is transmitted to the TCD 120.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To indicate the location of a time-dependent video hot link to a user by displaying dynamic image video that the user can select at a 1st part on a display device so as to make a link to different contents, and displaying an indication of the presence of the hot link area. SOLUTION: Some area 1080 in a video display window is coded by an embedded hyperlink. In this area, special information indicating a Hypertext Markup Language(HTML) file of a Uniform Resource Locator(URL) connected to a computer network at certain time intervals is coded into a video data stream. A panel bar 1030 includes an active light emission area 1060. The light emission area is green in a time interval wherein video has no coded hot link coded and turns red in a time interval wherein the video has a hot link.

    Abstract: A Profile Subsystem (which contains a profile of profile items in a database of information of interest to a viewer of a TV) will control selection of one or more of the segments of information if the segments themselves contain one or more profile items. In addition, an Information Processor will process the received information streams and segments to identify streams of interest to the viewers. In this case, the audio segments are processed by any one or more of the following methods: using speech recognition to generate a searchable transcript for key word searching, audio processing to determine the type of audio including any one or more of the following: speech, music, noise, sounds, and speaker identification processing to determine the identity of a particular speaker. The video segments are processed by any one or more of the following methods: using image processing to identify a searchable person, place, thing, action, or event. The data segments are processed by any one or more of the following methods: using text processing to generate a searchable hit list of one or more words. The Information Processor will generate identifiers from the processed segments and the identifiers will then be used by the Profile Subsystem to control the selection of information streams.

    Abstract: A method for indicating the location of time dependent video hot links (1080, 2080) to a user, comprising the steps of: displaying a motion video presentation on a first portion (1010, 2010) of a display device (1000, 2000), the video presentation including a hot link region (1080, 2080) which can be selected by a user to link to different content; displaying an indication (1060, 2009, 2100) of the presence of the hot link region (1080, 2080) in the video presentation. The method may comprise the further step of altering a visual attribute of at least a portion of the hot link region (1080, 2080) when a user manipulable cursor is within the first portion. The method may comprise the further step of displaying an indication (2009, 2100) of the presence of the hot link region (1080, 2080) in the video presentation on a second portion (1030, 2030) of the display screen (1000, 2000).
