Embodiment Construction

[0036] An example system 10 in accordance with the principles of the invention is figure 1 shown in . System 10 may include main facility 12 . Primary facility 12 provides interactive television application data from application data source 14 to interactive television application device 17 via communication link 18 . There can be multiple primary facilities 12 serving data for multiple applications, but in figure 1 Only one major facility 12 is shown in , to avoid over-complicating the diagram. Preferably there are a plurality of interactive television application devices 17, each linked to the main facility 12 by a respective communication link 18, but in figure 1Only such an interactive television application device 17 is shown in 10 to avoid overcomplicating the diagram. Link 18 may be a satellite link, a telephone network link, a coaxial or fiber optic link, a microwave link, an Internet link, a digital subscriber line (DSL), a combination of these links, or any other...

Abstract

A hand-held application device provides users with opportunities to access television-related or other applications and to control television-related applications running on user television equipment. The hand-held application device may have a touch-sensitive screen with controls that are coordinated with the features of the television-related or other applications.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention relates to an interactive TV application system, and more specifically, to such an interactive TV application system, wherein the TV application function can be provided by a handheld device, or a corresponding relationship is established between the handheld device and a user's TV device. [0002] Interactive television applications typically run on a user's set-top box. Examples of interactive television applications include interactive television program guides, email, home shopping, gaming and other e-commerce applications, financial applications, television web browsers, games and other television-based applications. Running these applications generally prevents other users from watching the TV and instead watches the application. Additionally, running such applications on the static platform of the set-top box prevents the user from accessing the functionality of such systems while away from the static platform. [0003...
