摘要： A stream of time-ordered data, such as a movie, is divided into multiple fragments of equal length, which are repetitively transmitted at different respective repetition rates. The fragments are reordered for transmission so that those which occur near the beginning of the original data stream are transmitted more frequently than those which occur later in the data stream. When a user enters a request to utilize the data, the individual fragments are stored upon receipt at the user's premises, and reassembled into a contiguous stream. The ordering of the fragments is such that the wait time required before utilization of the data can begin is limited to a predetermined maximum, and at least one copy of every fragment becomes available by the time it is needed.

摘要翻译： 诸如电影之类的时间序列数据流被划分成相同长度的多个片段，它们以不同的重复率被重复地传输。 这些片段被重排序以便传输，使得在原始数据流的开头附近出现的片段比在数据流中稍后发生的那些更频繁地传送。 当用户输入利用数据的请求时，在接收到用户的房屋时存储各个片段，并将其重新组装成连续的流。 片段的顺序使得在使用数据之前所需的等待时间可以开始被限制到预定的最大值，并且每个片段的至少一个副本在需要时间内变得可用。

摘要： A method for displaying interactive advertisements on a television having a controller connected thereto and configured for receiving input from a viewer of the television is disclosed. The controller has a receiver operable to receive advertisements and a processor operable to modify the advertisements. The method generally comprises requesting action by the viewer of the television, modifying an advertisement based on the action of the viewer, and displaying the modified advertisement on the television.
