    Abstract: Advertisements (50) are inserted in an EPG on the screen (40) of a display monitor (20) between the individual television program listings. Specifically, a memory (22, 34) stores EPG data and advertising data. A microprocessor (24) is programmed to recover EPG data corresponding to a number of television programs and advertising data from the memory. The microprocessor controls the monitor to display the recovered EPG data on the screen in lines of television program listings, each television program listing being displayed in a separate line, and to display the recovered advertising data in a line on the screen instead of one of the television program listings. The EPG and advertising data are displayed in a first area (46) of the screen and a detail window is displayed in a second area (44) of the screen. One of the lines of EPG data is highlighted with a cursor (48). A description of the television program listing highlighted by the cursor is inserted in the second area. When the line of advertising data is highlighted with the cursor, an information relating to the advertising data is inserted in the second area.

    Abstract translation: 广告（50）被插入在各个电视节目列表之间的显示监视器（20）的屏幕（40）上的EPG中。 具体地，存储器（22,34）存储EPG数据和广告数据。 微处理器（24）被编程为从存储器恢复对应于多个电视节目和广告数据的EPG数据。 微处理器控制显示器以电视节目列表的方式在屏幕上显示恢复的EPG数据，每个电视节目列表以单独的行显示，并且在屏幕上显示已恢复的广告数据，而不是在屏幕上显示 电视节目列表。 EPG和广告数据显示在屏幕的第一区域（46）中，并且在屏幕的第二区域（44）中显示详细窗口。 EPG数据之一用光标（48）突出显示。 由光标突出显示的电视节目列表的描述被插入到第二区域中。 当用光标突出显示广告数据线时，将与广告数据有关的信息插入到第二区域中。

    Abstract: A television tuner (10) controller has a memory (22) with a number of sets of remote control codes for use in controlling a television tuner (10), such as a cable box. The television tuner changes the channel it is tuning to a specific channel when it receives a set channel remote control command identifying the specific channel. The tuner (10) controller can detect the channel tuned by the television tuner (10) whenever the predetermined base channel is tuned by the television receiver (14).

    Abstract: Encoded video recorder/player timer preprogramming information allows a timer preprogramming feature on a video cassette recorder (14) to be programmed using a compressed code (212) of as few as 1 to 8 digits, which are decoded by a decoder (38) built into a remote control (12), video cassette recorder (14), or television (48) to convert the conpressed code into channel, date, time and length information. A local channel map (610) is stored so that the channel information from the compressed codes can be utilized to tune the correct channel even though channel numbers in different localities may be different. The remote may be a complete universal remote control that transmits infrared codes to a variety of home electronic devices upon the user pressing buttons associated with the functions associated with the infrared codes. The programming of local channel map data, infrared codes and protocols and their association with specific buttons on the remote control can be accomplished by the remote control's keyboard or by an external device (1150), including external devices that accomplish the programming by transmissions over telephone lines (1146).

    Abstract: A television system has a television viewing mode (50) and a guide mode (56, 58). The guide mode includes an electronic program guide (EPG), which provides the viewer program information for tuned programs, and a tape index guide (TIG), which provides information for programs recorded on a video cassette (16). In both guides, real time images of a program are displayed in a PIP window (50) on the television screen and guide information (56, 58) is displayed in the background. In both guides, the viewer may switch between a currently telecast program or a recorded program. The viewer may access either guide from the television mode and vice versa. In the guide mode, the viewer may independently switch the guide information and the type of program, i.e., tuned or recorded, in the PIP window.

    Abstract: A local language is pre-stored in permanent memory (24). Equivalent data is transmitted in the vertical blanking interval (VBI) to television receivers (17). Each equivalent data set comprises a unique language identifier (38) and a foreign language translation (36) of, or graphical representative of, the local language pre-stored in permanent memory. The viewer selects the language to be displayed from an on screen menu with a remote controller (23). The selected equivalent data is retrieved from the VBI and stored in a RAM (18) for future display. When the microprocessor calls up the text of a command for display, the equivalent data is substituted for the local language data so the foreign language version of the command can be displayed in a seamless manner. If no equivalent data is stored in the RAM, the local language pre-stored in permanent memory is displayed on the television screen in accordance with the normal operation of the microprocessor.
