DELIVERY AND DISPLAY OF INFORMATION OVER A DIGITAL BROADCAST NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting content, comprising:
- transmitting information such that a first set of data is repeated more frequently than at least a second set of data within the transmission, wherein the frequency of repetition is a function of the characteristics of a client side application that is rendering the data.

Abstract
A digital broadcast network is disclosed that can provide information at different frequency repetition rates in order to mitigate delay of information at a receiving device. A data stream can be divided into sets of data and depending on how each set of data will be consumed by a user, respective weights or priorities can be assigned to each set. Based on the weight or priority, at least one set of data can repeat more frequently within the data stream than other sets of data. Thus, upon receiving the data stream, the set of data repeated more frequently can be rendered on a user device at substantially the same time as the information is requested. Assigning a more frequent repetition rate of certain sets of data allows the receiving device to quickly obtain and render more important data.

5. A device for transmitting content, comprising:
-
a computer platform having a memory and a processor wherein the memory stores information related to decisions made by the processor; an evaluator that analyzes information within a data stream; a prioritizer that reviews a client application and determines when data sets within the data stream will be consumed by the client application; and a transmitter that selectively transmits the data sets at different repetition rates within the data stream with reference to when the data sets will be consumed by the client application. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)

8. An apparatus for selectively transmitting a first data set more frequently than at least a second data set, comprising:
means for transmitting information such that a first data set is repeated more frequently than at least a second data set within the transmission, wherein the frequency repetition is a function of the characteristics of a client side application rendering the data set on a user device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-executable instructions for:
-
reviewing a client application; dividing the client application data that is consumed by the client application into a first set of data and at least a second set of data; assigning a weight to each set of data based on when each set of data will be consumed by the client application; and transmitting the client application such that a first set of data is repeated more frequently than at least a second set of data with the transmission, wherein the frequency repetition is a function of the characteristics of a client side rendering device. - View Dependent Claims (13)

a user interface that receives a preference selection for at least one data stream; and a display that automatically presents the at least one data stream based on the preference selection. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
