Patent number: 7849226Abstract: A viewer of television programming is alerted to the availability of content related to the programming (e.g. an associated Internet web page) by an icon momentarily displayed on the screen. Using a remote control, the viewer can select the icon. A control panel then appears, superimposed over the television image, and provides additional detail about the related content. By further operating the remote control, the viewer can select the associated content for viewing, or return to watching the television. Various other features and variations are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2004Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Daniel J. Zigmond, David R.

Patent number: 7818768Abstract: An interactive television system transmits and displays a television program having an associated channel. The system also transmits and displays an interactive television mode indicator if the displayed television program supports an interactive television mode. The interactive television mode is activated in response to a request from a viewer of the television program to activate the interactive television mode. The system updates a channel status list to indicate that the television program is being viewed in the interactive television mode. The system is also able to handle requests for activating an online television mode. When changing channels, the channel status list is used to restore a previously activated interactive television mode or online television mode for a particular television channel. Two different indicators may be transmitted and displayed to indicate whether the television program supports an interactive television mode and/or an online television mode.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2009Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Dean J. Blackketter, Christopher White, Jeffrey D Yaksick, Timothy F. Park

Patent number: 7748016Abstract: A system for displaying an electronic program guide (EPG) to a viewer. The system includes displaying one or more data slices representative of broadcast programming to a viewer. In response to input from the viewer, the displayed number of data slices is increased, for example, from one slice to two slices. In browser mode the viewer can scroll through multiple EPG data slices without selecting to view full mode EPG, while in full mode the EPG can expand from a single column of data slices to multiple columns of data slices based upon viewer selections. The EPGs of the present invention can display programming that a viewer is more likely to watch at a particular time than other programming. A data slice representing the predicted programming can be inserted into the EPG so that the viewer can identify programming that is likely to be of interest.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2008Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Peter T. Barrett, Daniel Danker, Jeffrey D. Yaksick
