Patent

CA 2198740

A television viewer uses a PIP format for display of program related information (46) such as television program listings from a program schedule data base (22) in the background and moving, real time or stored video clip images of a program selected from the displayed listings in the PIP window (42). All the text of the background information lies outside the PIP window. In one embodiment, as the viewer selects a particular program from the display of current television program listings by means of a cursor (48) or a code number, the corresponding program automatically appears in the PIP window.

Cette invention permet au télespectateur d'utiliser le format "incrustation d'images" (PIP) pour visualiser des informations (46) relatives à un programme lequel est présenté, en arrière-plan, sous forme de listes provenant d'une base de données (22) d'émissions de télévision et, en avant-plan, sous forme d'un clip vidéo d'un programme sélectionné dans les listes affichées, en temps réel ou enregistré, s'affichant dans une fenêtre PIP (42). La totalité du texte d'informations présenté en arrière-plan se trouve hors de la fenêtre PIP. Dans un mode de réalisation, lorsque le télespectateur sélectionne un des programmes affichés dans la liste des émissions en cours au moyen d'un curseur (48) ou d'un numéro de code, le programme correspondant s'affiche automatiquement dans la fenêtre PIP.
