Patent number: 5841483Abstract: A television receiver comprises a graphics generator, a video processor, an audio processor, a picture-in-picture processor, and a controller for producing a display of an array of inset images. The controller causes one inset image of the array of inset images to be displayed with an associated graphics image to indicate selection of the one inset image, and causes the reproduction of the audio signal associated with said selected inset image. In one embodiment, all images except the selected one are "frozen", and the selected image is updated in near real time. In another embodiment, a second tuner is tuned to the selected-image channel and is used to provide audio for the selected image, while the first tuner continues to sequentially tune the channels from which all of the images are derived.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 1997Date of Patent: November 24, 1998Assignee: Thomson Consumer Electronics, Inc.Inventor: Kirk Edward Shafer
