Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for addressing targeted advertisements using a detection of the on/off operational status of a display device. The method includes determining whether or not the display device (e.g., a TV) of a subscriber of a TV programming service is operating, and inserting the advertisements into at least one media stream if it is determined that the display device is operating. Targeted advertisements are inserted into the programming stream only if the subscriber's display device is turned on to actually display the inserted advertisements. In this manner, advertisers can more specifically reach their target audience while also being given a much higher level of confidence that their ads have actually been viewed by the target audience.

Abstract: A user interface for resolving contention for a data channel is coupled to a broadband network having a plurality of user interfaces and a distribution hub. The user interface comprises a contention circuit for generating a contention signal in substantial absence of a common frequency with other user interfaces. The contention signal is a contention request for allocation of a data channel on the broadband network. A sensor for sensing other contention signals on the broadband network determines a status of the contention request. In a further enhancement, the contention signal is related to the unique id number. This relationship in a further enhancement is based on a multiple of a step frequency relative to a base frequency, wherein the multiple is related to the unique id number. In a yet further enhancement, a contending user having a highest unique id number is given access to the data channel. In yet another further enhancement, the user interface contending for the data channel employs a unique binary address to bid for said data channel by expressing a signal corresponding to a value of a bit of said unique binary address. Each of the user interfaces having a "0" bit value drops out of the bidding while each of the user interfaces having a "1" bit value continues bidding with a next bit, continuing until only one user interfaces remains.

Abstract: A broadband communication system (SYS), which is used to distribute television, radio and video signals, is additionally used for transmitting data signals from one subscriber (TN) to another subscriber (TN). The center (ZE) of the broadband communication system (SYS) has a service-on-demand server (SOD) which contains a control facility (CONTROL). The control facility (CONTROL) receives information transmitted by a subscriber (TN) via the return channel (R) to the center, performs a frequency conversion and transmits the information via the downstream channel (V) to all the subscribers (TN) of the broadband communication system (SYS). The information contains a source address, a destination address and the subscriber-specific data to be transmitted. Only subscribers (TN) whose address coincides with the destination address are able to interpret the information through a modem MODEM.

Abstract: A radio data reception system operates within a host processing system such as a personal computer and receives FM broadcast transmissions encoded with either RDS or MBS digital data modulated upon a subcarrier frequency. The radio data reception system operates in one of three modes to interpret the RDS or MBS digital data. A first mode of operation provides a user of the radio data reception system with complete FM stereo tuner functions displayed on a monitor. The radio data reception system receives and decodes RDS data transmissions in the FM stereo tuner mode and displays the RDS data on the monitor. In second and third modes of operation, the radio data reception system receives and processes MBS digital data. In the second mode of operation, the MBS data is used by the host processing system to monitor pages received by a user of the system. MBS digital data received in the third mode of operation can be compiled and stored into large binary files within the host processing system for later retrieval by a user.

The IDA contains a receiver into which a user recites a spoken message. The voice message is then transmitted by the IDA to a local remote receiver and then to a central transmitting station. In one embodiment of the invention, the IDA digitizes the voice message recited by the user. Additionally, in one embodiment, the IDA operates on a carrier frequency band in the order of approximately 218 MHz, is a battery operated portable unit, and has a maximum power output in the milliwatt range.

Abstract: A wireless remote response system includes a base unit which retrieves user-entered responses from a plurality of remote response units, each of which is provided to a user. The base unit transmits a base data package over a wireless communication link to the plurality of remote response units, which decode the base packet and load into memory a portion of the decoded base package at each response unit. Each response unit examines the characters loaded into the memory and determines any character in the portion of the decoded base package that pertains to that particular response unit. Each remote response unit then processes any character that pertains to that particular response unit. Each bit of data exchanged between the base unit and the response unit is encoded as a particular time interval for at least one cycle of a periodic waveform by varying the time interval either between successive rising edges or between successive falling edges of the periodic waveform. Decoding is carried out by measuring the time intervals between rising edges or between falling edges of successive waveforms. It is then determined whether each measured time interval falls within one of at least two distinct non-overlapping time ranges in order to determine a value of each bit.

Abstract: A radio response system including a broadcast station, a satellite relay, a processing center, and a plurality of user terminals. Each user terminal has a broadcast receiver, a communications interface device, a controller and a data transmitter. The broadcast station broadcasts a program signal. The broadcast receiver receives the program signal. The communications interface device communicates the program signal to a user. The controller generates a user-data signal from identification information transmitted in connection with the program signal and/or timing, location and frequency information needed for identifying the program signal, and a user-input signal generated in response to the program signal. The data transmitter transmits the user-data signal at a carrier frequency as a transmitted-data signal. The satellite relays the user-data signal to the processing center.
