Patent number: 5886691Abstract: An interactive display apparatus transmits voting information to a vote receiving center. Prior to voting, all voting items are displayed. A mark or a button is also displayed for each voting item and used for selecting one of a plurality of voting items. After one of the voting items is chosen, only the mark assigned to the selected voting item is displayed, erasing the marks for the other unselected voting items. In this way, the user is capable of recognizing that voting has been completed with ease from a voting screen.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 1997Date of Patent: March 23, 1999Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Miki Furuya, Yukiko Ohkura, Tetsuya Kohno, Keiji Yuzawa, Yuriko Kishitaka, Kuriko Takeshima
