MEDIA AND INFORMATION DISPLAY SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Systems and methods for displaying real time media broadcasts with pages of related information. The systems and methods allow a user to interact with the information while simultaneously viewing a video presentation (250) or listening to an audio presentation. A client application executing on the client system (20) processes a streaming data signal and displays an associated real time media presentation (210), live or archived, on a portion of the display. In one embodiment, reference data pushed to the client application (125) in a streaming data signal identifies the related information. The client application retrieves the pages, e.g., via HTTP requests, and displays the pages in a data frame (220) on a second portion of the display. The pages can be created in advance of the media presentation, and when retrieved and displayed, include the current information related to the subject matter of the media presentation. Upon selection of a link by a user, the link is passed to an active browser window (230) displayes on a third portion of the display, the user may interact with information in the browser window and data frame while simultaneously viewing and/or listening to the real time media presentation.
