SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR VCR SCHEDULING

摘要

A system adapted to allow interactive selection for presentation to a user of supplemental information pertaining to a television program. The system comprises a broadcast receiver (60) and a data processor (5) connected to the broadcast receiver (60), characterised in that the data processor (60) is adapted to automatically present an interactive cue on the broadcast receiver (60) during and simultaneous with presenting a television program. The interactive cue indicates the availability at a second time later than the first time of supplemental information relating to the television program. Selection of the supplemental information by a viewer is effected by means of a response to the interactive cue. Receipt of an interactive cue response is recognised by the data processor (60) as the interactive selection of the supplemental information associated with the cue and causes activation of the system to supply the supplemental information to the user at the second later time.
