Abstract: An embedded web browser, typically as part of a broadcast data receiver of the type provided for reception of data transmitted from a remote location. In addition to the processing of data for the generation of television programmes and the like, the embedded web browser allows the selection of internet pages which can be displayed on a television screen. The invention provides a conventional remote control device to be used to allow navigation about the displayed internet page on the display screen and also the selection of selectable options. Two forms of navigation can be provided dependent on the location on the display screen, a first which involves the highlighting of portions of the display screen to indicate the particular location on the screen.

Abstract: This invention relates to the provision of an internet browser function particularly, of the type provided as a function of a broadcast data receiver with the display generated and displayed on a display screen such as that of a television set. Television display screens have a relatively low resolution and therefore it can be difficult for the user to ascertain and identify selectable options on the display. In accordance with the invention, when a selectable option or number of options are selected by the user, typically via a remote control device, the selections are displayed in a graphically altered format, so as to allow the user to ascertain or confirm the identity of the selected option or options even on a lower resolution display screen.

Abstract: A broadcast data receiver (BDR) is provided with a web browser system. A service provided by the web browser system si selectable by a user of the BDR and, when selected, is controllable by the user via a remote control handset, thereby allowing an Internet web site page for display on a display screen connected to or forming part of the BDR to be determined and one or more user options can be selected if required. One or more icons are generated on at least a portion of the display screen and each of the icons represents a button on the remote control handset. Each icon is mapped to a specific control function or option of the web browser, thereby allowing user selection of a web browser control function or option by selection of the appropriate button on the remote control handset.
