Title:
ENHANCED VIDEO PROGRAMMING SYSTEM AND METHOD UTILIZING A WEB PAGE STAGING AREA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001020499
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A web page staging area for construction of web pages hidden from view of the user and a system (200) for its use is disclosed. Once the web page is constructed, it is displayed to the user based upon timer event information (206) or receipt of a particular command (206) instructing that it be displayed. Use of the staging area provides the user with a more television-like experience in viewing content from the Internet (220) or other source in that the user need not view a web page being constructed on a display device (209). Use of timer event information (206) for displaying the constructed web page permits synchronization of the web page with associated programming.
