Interactive application preparation procedure for digital television uses hierarchical tree structure for themes and attribute lists with user matched individual link blocking

摘要

An interactive application preparation procedure prepares XML (Extended Mark Up Language) or HTML (Hyper Text Mark Up Language) meta language data tables (tAppl, tAttr, tEl, tN) for each thematic (45, 46, 47) menu heading identifying a corresponding node (N0-2) with father node (41) and mother heading and uses it to create a hierarchical logical tree structure matching a selected user profile (45, 46, 47) and viewing terminal capability (48, 49).
