System for processing and decoding MPEG compatible data and internet information
First Claim
1. A method for processing a high definition video signal, comprising the steps of:
- separating said video signal which is a broadcasted television signal into at least two components, said first component is representative of television program video data and said second component is JAVA based computer code data, whereinsaid separation step is performed by using a program map that identifies a first data identifier associated with said television program and a second data identifier associated with said computer code; and
said JAVA based computer code data corresponds with said television program data;
decoding said television program video data;
processing said JAVA based computer code into image data capable of being displayed; and
formatting said decoded television program video data and said JAVA based computer code into a composite video image wherein the proportion of said video image contributed JAVA based computer code is rendered in response to an instruction.

Abstract
A video decoder system operates in different configurations to request and acquire information using one or more communication links and different communication protocols. A method for acquiring information requested by a User via a program guide selection involves retrieving access data from memory. The access data is retrieved in response to a User selection made from options shown on a displayed program guide. A data identifier is derived from program map data associating the data identifier and the User selection. Information is identified in an input signal in response to the access data using the identifier. The identified information is retrieved from the input signal to produce a retrieved information output and the retrieved information is formatted for display. The decoder may establish a Request communication link with a first device using the access data. In addition, the decoder may establish a communication link with another device using a communication protocol derived from an information database.
