<p>The set-top box (2) has an Internet data connection and is controlled from user inputs entered through a remote control device (22). The GUI generates menu screens that are superimposed over conventional television video images (30), so that the user can view browser graphics generated by the GUI while viewing television images in the background. The GUI can also provide animated on-screen (41) notifications of other events, such as previously-specified dates and times or the end of a television commercial.</p> |
