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: A television companion device (TCD) is a device comprising a communication transceiver capable of receiving a signal from a television set, the signal having one or more types of information split from a broadcast signal received by the television set and an output that presents one or more segments of one or more of the types of information. This device enables the personal viewing of information selected specifically for the individual. This information can be different than and/or unrelated to that displayed on the television. The information displayed on each individual TCD may be video clips or video programs, audio clips or audio programs, data, graphical images, still images, and/or animations. The device may also comprise an input that sends one or more messages through the communication transceiver to the television, thereby allowing the viewer to send requests for information to the television or send messages to other television companion devices.

Abstract: An improved television is capable of demultiplexing, selecting and distributing information streams of different types of information to the television and to one or more television companion devices (TCDs). The television has a television antenna for receiving a broadcast signal having one or more types of information. Each information type has one or more segments. The television further has a transmitter for transmitting a communication signal to one or more television companion devices. The types of information can include any one or more of the following: a video channel, an audio channel, a data channel, one or more graphical images, and/or one or more animated images. The segments can include any one or more of the following: an audio clip or audio program, a video segment or video program, a still image, animation, graphics, 3D images, and/or a stream of text. The television communicates with the TCDs via a communication link. When the television communicates with the TCDs, it embeds an address into the message which identifies one or more of the TCDs to be the recipient of the message. Information streams and segments which are to be output by the television and/or one or more TCDs are selected by a selector that selects two or more segments from one or more of the types of information where one or more of the segments is displayed, e.g. on the television, and one or more of the segments are transmitted to one or more television companion devices. In an alternative embodiment, if the automatic selection of information is desired, a Profile Subsystem which contains a profile of profile items in a database of information of interest to the viewer will control selection of one or more of the segments if the segments contain one or more profile items.

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 strea ms of interest to the viewers. In this case, the audio segments are processed by any one or more o f the following methods: using speech recognition to generate a searchable transcript for ke y 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 identi ty 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 packet communications system provides for point-to-point packet routing and broadcast packet routing to limited subsets of nodes in the network, using a routing field in the packet header which is processed according to two different protocols. A third protocol is provided in which a packet can be broadcast to the limited subset even when launched from a node which is not a member of the subset. The routing field includes a first portion which contains the route labels necessary to deliver the packet to the broadcast subset. A second portion of the routing field contains the broadcast subset identifier which can then be used to deliver the packet to all of the members of the broadcast subset. Provision is made to backtrack deliver the packet to the last node identified before the broadcast subset if that last node is itself a member of the subset.
