Abstract: A multimedia broadcast system provides program schedule information simulcast as a Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) data stream including commands and displayable, selectable indicia associated with the commands, along with programs for display. A set top box is adapted to separate the HTML data stream and to store that data in a cache as WEB pages retrievable by a WEB browser in the set top box, whereupon the program schedule information is displayed including the displayable, selectable indicia. Selecting the indicia directs the set top box via the associated command to tune to a program associated with the displayable indicia. The indicia may be any text, icon, dynamic figurine, and the like. In a preferred embodiment program schedule WEB pages, including the commands and displayable indicia, are stored especially marked on a WEB server coupled to the Internet and to a scanner adapted to scan the WEB server for marked pages, and to upload the marked pages to a satellite broadcast system.

Abstract: A system for filling fields in Internet forms follows executable control code to associate stored fill entities with field names, and to place the stored fill entities into fields in the Internet form. In one embodiment association is automatic to the extent that names of fill entities match field names in the form. In another embodiment a display list is provided superimposed on the form, the display having selectable stored entity names. In this embodiment of the invention entity names may be selected from the superimposed list and caused to fill selected fields sin the form. In some embodiments both features are provided. In yet another embodiment a WEB browser is adapted to download database entities from a remote server through an Internet connection directly to a memory que without immediate display. The stored entities are separately selectable from the memory que for display and processing independent of operation of the WEB browser or the Internet connection.
