Abstract: A method for controlling a user computer is disclosed wherein a broadcast program is operable to transmit a broadcast to the user in the form of an audio/visual program, in addition to an encoded tone. This encoded tone is detected by the user computer and this information then transmitted to an intermediate node, an ARS (308). This tone is compared in a relational database (1704) to determine if there is matching information therein. This matching information is in the form of routing information to a destination node (1706) over the data network (306). This routing information is transmitted back to the user computer (1702) over the network (306). The user PC (1702) then utilizes this information to complete a connection with the destination node (1706). The tone is injected into the broadcast program by a program director at the broadcast station. This is effected through an input to a console (1606) which selects one of a plurality of tones in a tone database (1602). Therefore, the user can determine which of a plurality of destinations nodes (1706) on the network (306) are to be selected.

Abstract: A device including a backplane and electrically controllable elements of an interconnected circuit system are controlled by a pluggable computer card. A processor in the pluggable computer card retrieves configuration data from the backplane device. The configuration data preferably indicates which of a set of protocols is to be used for establishing communication with a particular target circuit of the interconnected circuit system. Buffers in the pluggable computer card are used to temporarily store control instructions generated by the processor for real-time control of the electrically controllable elements of the device. Supporting other features of the invention, a backplane controller disposed in the device intercepts and generates electronic signals between multiple circuit cards connected to the device to facilitate communication therebetween. In one embodiment, the interconnected circuit system including pluggable computer card and electrically controllable elements are used to create a "live" toy such as a stuffed animal.

Abstract: A system and method for reprogramming a device using programming data that is transmitted over a broadcast network. In one embodiment, a smart toy works cooperatively with an interactive television system to provide an easy-to-use means for reprogramming the toy. The interactive television system has a broadcast station that transmits a carousel of data modules over a unidirectional broadcast link to a group of receiving stations. A radio frequency (RF) transceiver in the receiving station and a corresponding transceiver in the toy provide a bidirectional communications link communicates over which the data modules are transmitted from the receiving station to the toy. The data modules (e.g., data files or application code) are used to reprogram the smart toy. Particular ones of the data modules are selected, either manually or by filtering them according to user preferences, and the toy is reprogrammed with the selected modules. The user preferences can be explicitly entered or they can be constructed by the system according to the use of the toy. The toy can serve as an input device for uploading user preferences or other data to the receiving station or broadcast station. The receiving station can transmit signals to the toy, which can then provide notifications or cues to a user.
