Method and system of displaying content associated with broadcast program
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- presenting content associated with broadcast program in a user terminal of a telecommunication system, the method comprising;
broadcasting a media stream by a broadcast system;
generating a group of content items associated with the media stream;
attaching to the content items timing information to indicate the timing for presenting a content item;
delivering the group of content items with the timing information to the user terminal;
presenting the content items in the user terminal in a first mode wherein a presentation element corresponding to a content item is changed to another presentation element according to the timing information of the content item, or in a second mode wherein a presentation element is changed to another presentation element in response to a user action; and
allowing transition from the second mode to the first mode only by authorization according to a pre-defined procedure.

Abstract
A media system comprising a broadcast system, a telecommunication system, a content processing system, and a user terminal. While a media stream is broadcast, a group of content items associated with the media stream are generated. The content items are presented in the user terminal in a first mode, wherein a presentation element corresponding to a content item is changed to another presentation element according to the timing information of the content item, or in a second mode wherein a presentation element is changed to another presentation element in response to a user action. Transition from the second mode is allowed only by authorization according to a pre-defined procedure. The interactive operations are thus controlled by the user and thus not overridden by content timed or pushed to the user terminal for display.
