Problems solved by technology

Also, when a user attempts to navigate on the current content or to a different content, many commands must be passed between the user's set-top box and the head-end
This processing further consumes processor resources, limiting the number of users each processor chip can handle

Embodiment Construction

[0013] 1 is a schematic diagram of a television signal distribution network, and more particularly a cable distribution network employing an interactive programming system with interconnected data. A television signal distribution network is any system for distributing television signals to multiple television viewing devices, including but not limited to cable networks, satellite television systems, and DSL television distribution networks. Data is considered interconnected when at least two subsets of the data are connected by a link such that the data can be moved from one subset to the other by using the link. A link may be any suitable route connecting at least two subsets of data such that data can be moved from one subset to the other. Links can also be used to trigger actions. An example of a link may be an HTML link between two Internet web pages. Another link can end the session or change the session to another type. Another link can be used to tune the set-top bo...

Abstract

Methods are provided for transmitting and navigating interlinked data using an interactive programming system. Pages of interlinked data are encoded at a network node, and data navigation information is generated for each page of the interlinked data. This data is then stored at the node. A user at a subscriber location, connected to the node by a television signal distribution network, is able to view a first page of the interlinked data, provided by the interactive programming system to the user's settop for display on a display device. The interactive programming system also provides the data navigation information to the user's settop. The interpreter within the user's settop creates a chaser, which is displayed at one of the links of the interlinked data and allows the user to navigate those links. The user may use the chaser to select a link, which is interpreted within the settop to provide a command signal identifying an action, such as sending another page of the data to the user's settop.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to the transmission and navigation of data, and more particularly to the transmission and navigation of interconnected data over television signal distribution networks. Background technique [0002] Content providers are able to transmit and display interconnected content, such as Internet web pages, over television signal distribution networks. However, delivering such content to users requires significant computer processing power and resources. In systems that have been developed, computing processing power and resources are located at the cable headend. Each processor chip located in a headend is capable of processing and distributing content to a certain number of users. In these systems, the more users receiving content, the more processor chips are required for the system to work. Also, when a user attempts to navigate on the current content or to a different content, many commands must be communicated between the user...
