Abstract: An interactive computer system with plural displays includes a first computer, having an input device and an output including a display and a second computer having an output including display coupled to the first computer. A voice recorder is provided to create an icon representing a recorded voice, and the icon is displayed on the display of the first computer. The input device of the first computer, which may be a mouse, is adapted to drag the icon from the display of the first computer to the display of the second computer, and to reproduce the recorded voice in response to a pointer displayed on the displays and controlled by the input device.

Abstract: Ordinary data groups and index information indicating data names and memory locations of broadcasted data are transmitted in multiplex mode from the data broadcasting station 101, and received by the onboard terminal 103 and/or the information service station 104 through the data distribution part 102. The onboard terminal 103 detects the information which it does not hold by referring to the index information, and presents a list of data names at the onboard display part 133. The service station 104 stores separately the data groups and the index information provided from the broadcasting station 101, and in response to the download request from the onboard 103, it examines whether the required data is located in SS memory part 147 by referring to the index data, and captures the required data from external memory locations defined in the index information if the required data is not stored.

Abstract: A terminal apparatus has a reception unit for receiving a data group or a program group distributed from a satellite or a ground distribution system, and an update sequence management unit. The update sequence management unit searches data or a program of the terminal apparatus to be updated and data or a program necessary for updating the data or the program of the terminal apparatus, from the data group or the program group, determines an update sequence of the searched program or data, and updates the program or data of the terminal apparatus in accordance with the determined update sequence.

Abstract: A video data display controlling method and system in which an image in each image area or in each partial image area of each image area to be displayed on a display screen and designated by a user is displayed at a display quality differentiated from other areas not designated. A video data display control unit stores display state data of each displayed image in a display state management table. The video data display control unit changes the display specification or attribute of each image so as to display an image having a high user interest degree with a high display quality and display an image having a low user interest with a low display quality, and transfers the changed display specification to a display specification management table of a video data input unit. A video data input unit controls a video data compressing unit to compress digital video data in accordance with the changed display specification or attribute.
