Abstract: A method and system for sending and receiving binary bit stream in a composite video signal. The binary stream is modulated according to quadrature amplitude modulation (120), converted to analog and translated to an intermediate frequency relative to the composite video signal and the associated sync pulses, and combined by combiner (240) with the composite video signal. At reception of a composite video signal that includes the modulated bit stream, the sync pulses of the composite video signal are determined by extracting the composite video signal from the modulated bit stream by the signal splitter (310). Also, the modulated bit stream is extracted from the composite video signal, separated into its component parts based on the sync pulses by utilizing the signal conditioner (320), and combined into a binary bit stream. and combined into a binary bit stream.

Abstract: A method and system for decoding and storing encoded control data delivered via the horizontal overscan area of a video signal. An interactive device such as an interactive toy performs behavior defined by control data that can be encoded into a video signal that can be broadcast or played-back from video tape. The interactive device is equipped with a non-volatile memory that permits the control data to be stored for performance subsequent to the transmission session (e.g., a televised program). The interactive device also may be equipped to perform behavior during the transmission session. The control data is delivered as a series of control data words that include genus codes and sequence codes. Genus codes identify the interactive device to which the data word is directed, so that a particular interactive device will respond (i.e., perform behavior) only in accordance with the control data words including the appropriate genus code. Because video transmissions are subject to video signal deterioration, error grading is used to minimize the effect of such signal deterioration. During a given control data transmission session, control data words will be repeated, so that an interactive device receives several control data words with the same sequence number. Based on the relative gradings, the interactive device will replace previously received control data words of lower quality than subsequently received data words having the same sequence number.

Abstract: The method and apparatus for masking program selection latency in an MPEG equivalent information stream receiver, such as an ATSC or DVB television receiver (FIG. 1). An information stream receiver receives VSB or QAM modulated signals comprising an MPEG equivalent system streams including program transport streams. In a channel scanning mode of operation, a plurality of identified program transport streams (i.e., channels) are sequentially retrieved from one or more system streams (FIG. 2). In a channel changing mode of operation, if a desired channel is one of the sequentially scanned channels, then the stored I-frame is retrieved and coupled to a decoder while the desired channel is reacquired by tuning, demodulating, and demultiplexing operations (FIG. 3). In this manner, the inherent latency of the tuning, demodulating, and demultiplexing operations are somewhat masked. Moreover, by storing tuning and demodulation parameters associated with an anticipated next channel, the actual time required to retrieve that channel is reduced.

Abstract: A method for processing an analog video signal that represents a work for which rights information is asserted. The signal includes a rights assertion mark (RAM) in the video portion of the signal within the visible picture such that capture of the picture will include the mark. The signal also includes copy control information (CCI) bits in the vertical blanking interval of the signal for representing copying and redistribution rules. If the RAM is present and the CCI bits are present, then the copying and redistribution rules represented by the CCI bits are applied. If the RAM is present but the CCI bits are not, then the most restrictive copying and redistribution rules that can be represented by the CCI bits are applied.

Abstract: A method and apparatus facilitate control of interactive application execution through use of defined time periods. A broadcaster (110) transmits a broadcast program, an associated interactive application (170), and at least one definition of a time period from a set including: a first time period, during which execution of the application may be offered to a viewer; a second time period, during which execution of the application may be started; and a third time period, during which the application may be executed. A viewer tunes to a channel associated with the broadcast program and interactive application. A broadcast receiver (140) offers the viewer the option to execute the interactive application (170), if within the first defined time period. If the user elects to so execute, the broadcast receiver starts said execution, if within the second defined time period. If the interactive application continues to execute at the end of the third defined time period, the broadcast receiver retires the interactive application.
