Abstract

LA INVENCION SE REFIERE A UN RECEPTOR DE SEÑALES DE TELEVISION PREPARADO PARA RECIBIR SEÑALES DE VIDEO QUE COMPRENDEN DATOS DE VIDEO Y DATOS DE INFORMACION. EL RECEPTOR ESTA PREPARADO PARA RESPONDER AL ACCIONAMIENTO DE UN DISPOSITIVO DE CONTROL (28) POR PARTE DEL TELEVIDENTE. EL RECEPTOR INCLUYE UN PROCESADOR (23) PARA PROCESAR DATOS DE INFORMACION SELECCIONADOS PARA CONVERTIRLOS EN SEÑALES REPRESENTATIVAS DE LOS MISMOS PARA EMITIRLAS A UNA TELEVISION EN COMBINACION CON LAS SEÑALES DE VIDEO. EL RECEPTOR ESTA PREPARADO PARA RESPONDER A LOS DATOS DE INFORMACION A EMITIR GENERANDO DATOS DE VISUALIZACION OBTENIDOS A PARTIR DE LOS CITADOS DATOS DE IMAGEN Y DE LOS CITADOS DATOS DE INFORMACION Y QUE REPRESENTAN UNA IMAGEN INTERACTIVA. EL RECEPTOR ES SENSIBLE A LA MANIPULACION DEL DISPOSITIVO DE CONTROL POR EL TELEVIDENTE PARA VARIAR LA IMAGEN INTERACTIVA Y ESTABLECER UN ENLACE DE TELECOMUNICACIONES CON UN CENTRO REMOTO PARA MANTENER UNA INTERACCION EN LINEA A TRAVES DE LA IMAGEN INTERACTIVA ENTREEL TELEVIDENTE Y EL CENTRO REMOTO. LA IMAGEN INTERACTIVA PUEDE FORMAR PARTE DE UNA INTERFAZ DE SERVICIOS INTERACTIVOS QUE COMPRENDA UN NIVEL DE ACCESO A EMISIONES Y VARIOS NIVELES DE INTERACCION CON EMISIONES. LA INTERFAZ DE SERVICIOS INTERACTIVOS PUEDE COMPRENDER UNO O MAS NIVELES INTERACTIVOS EN LINEA A LOS QUE SE ACCEDE DESDE UNO DE LOS NIVELES DE INTERACCION CON EMISIONES PARA ESTABLECER UNA CONEXION EN LINEA CON UN CENTRO REMOTO.
