First Claim
1. For use with an interactive terminal having a display and a predetermined application associated therewith, a method for synchronizing display of data relating to the predetermined application between the interactive terminal and at least one mobile interface device having a display, the method comprising:
- providing each of the at least one mobile interface device with a user input receiving means for receiving a user input signal, the at least one mobile interface device for transmitting the user input signal for synchronization with the interactive terminal;
providing a set-top transceiver device operatively coupled to the interactive terminal and in communication with the at least one mobile interface device for receiving the user input signal from the at least one mobile interface device and for transmitting a synchronization signal to the at least one mobile interface device and the interactive terminal; and
providing a remote central processing unit having a database stored therein corresponding to the predetermined application and operatively coupled to the set-top transceiver device for receiving and processing the user input signal based on the database to obtain the synchronization signal for receipt by the set-top transceiver device, the synchronization signal including a first display control signal and a second display control signal, the first display control signal for controlling the display of the at least one mobile interface device and the second display control signal for controlling the display of the interactive terminal so as to allow the at least one mobile interface device to be dynamically reconfigured in response to the user input signal to display data corresponding to the predetermined application associated with the interactive terminal.

Abstract
A method and system for synchronizing display of data relating to a predetermined application between an interactive terminal and at least one mobile interface device having a display. The at least one mobile interface device receives a user input signal and transmits the user input signal for synchronization with the interactive terminal. A set-top transceiver device is operatively coupled to the interactive terminal and receives the user input signal from the at least one mobile interface device. The set-top transceiver device also transmits a synchronization signal to the at least one mobile interface device and the interactive terminal. A central processing unit having a database is operatively coupled to the set-top transceiver device for receiving and processing the user input signal based on the database to obtain the synchronization signal for receipt by the set-top transceiver device. The synchronization signal includes a first display control signal for controlling the display of the at least one mobile interface device and a second display control signal for controlling the display of the interactive terminal.
