Problems solved by technology

This aspect of the current technology is cumbersome since the update process requires downloading information to the viewer's computer.
Moreover, the likelihood for error in performing the update, and the necessity of redoing the update in the event of a later computer crash, further complicates the process.
Additionally, current technologies are limited in the number of companies which may be stored in the database.
This is a significant limitation since world-wide access presented by the Internet and the increasing number of companies connecting to perform on-line commerce necessitates a large database.

Embodiment Construction

[0029] Referring now to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a block diagram of a system for controlling a personal computer (“PC”) 112 via an audio tone transmitted over a wireless system utilizing a TV. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, there is provided a transmission station 101 and a receive station 117 that are connected via a communication link 108. The transmission station 101 is comprised of a television program source 104, which is operable to generate a program in the form of a broadcast signal comprised of video and audio. This is transmitted via conventional techniques along channels in the appropriate frequencies. The program source is input to a mixing device 106, which mixing device is operable to mix in an audio signal. This audio signal is derived from an audio source 100 which comprises a coded audio signal which is then modulated onto a carrier which is combined with the television program source 104. This signal combining can be done at the audio level, or it can...

Abstract

A redirect system is provided which is operable to redirect information over a network (1610). This information is associated with a compressed MP3 audio file which is initially transmitted through the network from a source (1612) to a user PC (1600). The user PC (1600) will then play the information and, upon playing the information, embedded information within the audio file will be detected by an application program (1604). This will cause a browser (1602) to launch and route the embedded information to an intermediate node (1620). This information will be matched with information in a database (1624), which information provides routing information to a producer location (1614). This is transmitted back to the user PC (1600) which will then effect a connection with the producer (1614) to either view in the simple case a web page and, in the more complex case, actually transmit information from the database (1624) through the user PC (1600) to the producer (1614) to provide a customized communication in the form of a customized web page.
