USER-CONTROLLED DATA/VIDEO INTEGRATION BY A VIDEO CONTROL SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of operating circuitry in a video control system, the method comprising:
- transferring a first video signal to drive a display device to display a data/video integration menu, wherein the data/video integration menu is configured to permit user specification of user-selected data and specification of a position of display of the user-selected data relative to display of video content;
receiving a user instruction corresponding to the displayed data/video integration menu, wherein the user instruction specifies the user-selected data and specifies display positioning information defining the display position of the user-selected data on the display;
receiving the user-selected data in accordance with the user;
receiving the video content;
integrating the user-selected data and the video content into a second video signal that concurrently presents the integrated video content and the user-selected data in accordance with the specified position of the user-selected data relative to the video content; and
transferring the second video signal to drive the display device, wherein the integrated video content and the user-selected data are presented on the display in accordance with the specified position of the user-selected data relative to the video content,wherein a screen size for the video content is reduced and the user-selected data is displayed in an open space left by the reduced screen size.

Abstract
A video control system transfers a video signal to display a data/video integration menu and receives user instructions indicating user-selected data and display positioning for the user-selected data. The video control system transfers a data request and receives the user-selected data. The video control system receives video content. The video control system integrates the user-selected data and the video content into a video signal that positions the user-selected data relative to the video content according to the display positioning in the user instructions. The video control system transfers the video signal to display the integrated video content and user-selected data.

14. A method of operating circuitry in a video control system, the method comprising:
-
transferring a first video signal to drive a display device to display a data/video integration menu, wherein the data/video integration menu is configured to permit user specification of user-selected data relative to a position of display of video content; receiving one of a first user instruction and a second user instruction corresponding to the displayed data/video integration menu, wherein the first user instruction and the second user instruction specify the user-selected data, wherein the first user instruction specifies first display positioning information defining a first display position of the user-selected data on the display, and wherein the second user instruction specifies second display positioning information defining a second display position of the user-selected data on the display; receiving the user-selected data in accordance with the user; receiving the video content; where in response to receiving the first user instruction, the method further comprises; integrating the user-selected data and the video content into a second video signal that concurrently presents the video content and the user-selected data in accordance with the specified first display position of the user-selected data; and transferring the second video signal to drive the display device, wherein the integrated video content and the user-selected data are presented on the display in accordance with the specified first display position of the user-selected data, and wherein a screen size for the video content is reduced so that the user-selected data is displayed in an open space left by the reduced screen size; and where in response to receiving the second user instruction, the method further comprises; integrating the user-selected data and the video content into a third video signal that concurrently presents the video content and the user-selected data in accordance with the specified second display position of the user-selected data; and transferring the third video signal to drive the display device, wherein the integrated video content and the user-selected data are presented on the display in accordance with the specified second display position of the user-selected data, and wherein the user-selected data is presented over a corresponding portion of the video content in accordance with the specified second display position. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
