Abstract

A local language is pre-stored in permanent memory (24). Equivalent data is transmitted in the vertical blanking interval (VBI) to television receivers (17). Each equivalent data set comprises a unique language identifier (38) and a foreign language translation (36) of, or graphical representative of, the local language pre-stored in permanent memory. The viewer selects the language to be displayed from an on screen menu with a remote controller (23). The selected equivalent data is retrieved from the VBI and stored in a RAM (18) for future display. When the microprocessor calls up the text of a command for display, the equivalent data is substituted for the local language data so the foreign language version of the command can be displayed in a seamless manner. If no equivalent data is stored in the RAM, the local language pre-stored in permanent memory is displayed on the television screen in accordance with the normal operation of the microprocessor.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS [received by the International Bureau on 5 May 1997 (05.05.97); original claims 1-17 replaced by new claims 1-19 (4 pages)]
1. Apparatus for displaying textual or graphic data on the screen of a television receiver, the apparatus comprising:
a system memory at each receiver in which data representing local language commands is stored;
a microprocessor;
first means for configuring the microprocessor to display on the screen the local language commands stored in the system memory;
means for receiving equivalent textual or graphic data; and
second means for configuring the microprocessor to substitute the equivalent data for the local language commands such that the equivalent data is displayed instead of the local language commands.
2. The apparatus of claim 1, in which the receiving means comprises means for extracting the equivalent data Irom the NBI of a television signal transmitted to the television receiver.
3. The apparatus of claim 2, in which the microprocessor includes a temporary storage device in which the transmitted equivalent data is stored.
4, The apparatus of claim 3, in which the apparatus memory is an nonalterable data storage device.
5. The apparatus of claim 4, in which the received equivalent data includes unique language identifiers and foreign language commands corresponding to the local language commands.
6. The apparatus of claim 5, additionally comprising an input device for coupling a viewer's choice of the language identifiers to the microprocessor and the second
configuring means compares the language identifiers in the transmitted equivalent data with the viewer's choice and stores the corresponding transmitted foreign language commands in the temporary storage device when a match oocurs.
7. The apparatus of claim 6, in which the local language commands have addresses in the apparatus memory that identify the location on the screen where the commands are to be displayed and the corresponding foreign language commands have the same addresses in the temporary storage device.
8. The apparatus of claim 7, in which a status bit is stored in the microprocessor to indicate whether the local language commands or foreign language commands are to be displayed and, when a call for display of a command occurs, the second configuring means issues a command address and a memory access command, reads the status bit, accesses the apparatus memory with the issued address if the status bit indicates local language commands are to be displayed, and aocesses the temporary storage device with the issued address if the status bit indicates foreign language commands are to be displayed.
9. The apparatus of claim 8, in which the temporary storage device is a RAM.
10. The apparatus of claim 9, in which the system memory is a ROM.
11. A method for displaying textual or graphic data on the screen of television receivers comprising the steps of:
displaying local language commands on the screen of each television receiver, transmitting to one or more of the television receivers equivalent date, the equivalent date including a plurality of foreign language translations, or graphical representatives, of the local language commands;
choosing one of the transmitted foreign language translations at one of the television receivers; and
substituting the chosen foreign language translation for the displayed local language command.
12. The method of claim 11, additionally comprising the steps of:
attaching to the transmitted equivalent data a plurality of language identifies. each being unique to one of the foreign language translations or graphical data
representations;
inputting a choice from among the language identifiers;
comparing the inputted choice with the language identifiers attached to the equivalent data; and
storing the equivalent dale when a match occurs in the comparing step.
13. The method of claim 12, in which the inputting step comprises selecting a choice from an on-screen menu.
14. The method of claim 13, additionally comprising the step of transmitting a television signal from a head end to each of the television receivers, the step of transmitting equivalent data comprising inserting the equivalent date into the television signal at the head end.
15. The method of claim 14, in which the Inserting step inserts the equivalent data into the VBI of the television signal.
16. The method of claim 15. in which the step of transmitting equivalent data also transmits the local language commands and a local language identifier.
17. The method of claim 11 , additionally comprising the steps of assigning addresses to the local language commands indicative of the location on the screen where the commands are to be displayed, assigning addresses to the substituted equivalent data that are related to the addresses of the local language commands, configuring a microprocessor to display commands depending upon their addresses, and storing a status bit that indicates whether local language commands or a foreign language translation of the commands are to be displayed.
18. The method of claim 17, additionally comprising configuring the
microprocessor when a call is made for a command to issue an address to designate a screen location, retrieve the command responsive to the status bit and the issued address, and display the retrieved command.
19. A method for displaying textual or graphic data on the screen of a television receiver comprising the steps of:
storing in a local memory at the television receiver a set of commands in a first language and a set of the same commands in a second language;
selecting one of the sets of commands for display on the screen; assigning addresses to each set of commands indicative of the location on the screen where the commands are to be displayed;
configuring a microprocessor to display commands depending upon their addresses;
storing a status bit that indicates the selected set of commands to be displayed; configuring the microprocessor when a call is made for a command to issue an address to designate a screen location, to retrieve the command responsive to the status bit and the issued address, and to display the retrieved command.
