Interactive television system and method having on-demand web-like navigational capabilities for displaying requested hyperlinked web-like still images associated with television content

A system and method for displaying still video images related to video content in an interactive broadcast television system. The system and method of the present invention may also be used for simulating an Internet home page on an interactive television system. The present invention thus supports hyperlinked web-like navigational capabilities in an interactive television system. According to the method of the present invention, the video delivery system provides or broadcasts one or more audio/video channels each comprising video content and also provides or broadcasts at least one still image channel comprising a plurality of still video images, preferably MPEG-2 compressed still images. The user or viewer can select options displayed on the television screen to view desired information. When the set top box receives user input selecting an option to view one of the linked still images, the set top box captures the requested image from the still image broadcast channel, stores the image in memory, and displays the captured still video image corresponding to the selection. The user can also request to view an image which is not currently being transmitted by the video delivery system. In this instance, the system provides user requested still images “on demand” on a dedicated “search” channel. The user can thus selectively navigate between the video content and stills in a web-like hyperlinked fashion.

Method for verifying the identity of a user for session authentication purposes during Web navigation

A network-based software application for enabling remote authentication of a user during a network session has a server portion for serving session validation information and additional user information when queried, a client portion for configuring and submitting parameters constraining what and how data is to be shared with a querying entity or entities, and a distributed portion for distribution and application at various connected network nodes for enabling those nodes to recognize and interact with the server portion. The application is characterized in that the server portion generates a temporary session token after a first successful authentication by the user at a web site during a network session, the token cached at the host machine of the server portion and at the user's machine or proxy machine and wherein upon navigation by the user to a next web site or form requiring secure authentication, the token is used to identify the user and a remote call is used to validate the user session instead of requiring manual authentication procedures.

Apparatus and methods for providing network-based information suitable for audio output

The invention is directed to techniques for navigating a network based on audio input to retrieve information from a network. A user enters audio commands into a two-way communication device to access information located on a network, such as the Internet. For example, a user enters a voice request for a web page into a telephone, which sends the request to a proxy browser for the World Wide Web which in turn provides the request to a web navigation application executing on an application server. The web navigation application generates a text-based request based on the voice request and retrieves a web page from the World Wide Web based on the text-based request. The web navigation application uses a script or an XML page to generate a file suitable for audio output from the retrieved web page. The web navigation application then produces an audio output file from the generated file, which it sends to the proxy browser to provide audio output signals to the user over the telephony connection to the user's telephone.

Social Web Browsing

A method of guiding a user's web navigation through the recommendation of online content in the form of a navigation recommendation includes a server and a browser. The browser receives identification associated with a user in a navigation network and transmits the login information to the server. The browser additionally transmits information about the user's browsing activity to the server. The server receives browsing activities from many browsers having associated users and stores information indicating an association between the users and their respective interactions. The server additionally receives social networking information for the users and stores information indicating an association between the user and their respective social connections. Based on an input received from the browser associated with the user in the navigation network, the server determines a navigation recommendation for the user based on the stored information and transmits the navigation recommendation to the browser.

Browsing and monitoring the web through learning and ingemination

Information retrieval and consumption from the web is becoming the fundamental way we manage our lives, business and leisure. To simplify retrieving information of our interest, a lot of research has been done in the area of web crawlers, or “bots” that navigate the web automatically, read web pages, and index those web pages based on the content of web pages. Another group of utilities that monitor web page changes have also emerged. Web crawlers provide very little control to the users in the manner in which the web is navigated and they fail to work with links that have links embedded in scripts. The web page monitoring applications fail when the pages are dynamically generated, and the links to the pages change all the time. Furthermore more and more content is being protected by authentication schemes such as username and password based authentication. These issues make the conventional web navigation automation tools ineffective for most useful applications. This innovation deals with these issues by providing interactive approach to learn the navigation and then repeat the learn sequence of actions, while monitoring for the changes in the values.

Method and system for cookie expiration based on user idle and presence detection

Detecting Internet web navigation and web browsing idle conditions using cookies during navigating and browsing sessions, is accomplished by receiving in a local computer, from a server, a cookie that has at least one policy that causes the cookie to have either an active or expired status, based on either the presence of web content provided by the server or detection that either the user is idle or the user is away from the local computer. The cookie containing the policy is stored on the local client computer. A signal from a user of the local client computer activates the policy in the cookie; thus, causing the cookie to have a status of either active or expired. When a signal is received from the server requesting the status of the cookie, the local computer determines whether the status of the cookie is active or expired. When the status is active, the server continues to provide content to the local computer and when the status is expired, then the server stops sending content to the local computer.
