Abstract

SISTEMA DE PROGRAMACION ELECTRONICA PARA PROGRAMAS DE TELEVISION CON ACCESO TANTO A LA INFORMACION DE EMISION DE LOS PROGRAMAS DE TELEVISION COMO A LAS TRANSMISIONES DE DATOS QUE CONTIENEN INFORMACION DE ESTADO PARA TRANSMISIONES EN DIRECTO, TALES COMO EVENTOS DEPORTIVOS. EL SISTEMA INCLUYE UN PROCESADOR DE DATOS PARA RECIBIR LA INFORMACION DE EMISION DE PROGRAMAS DE DIVERSOS PROGRAMAS Y TRANSMISIONES DE DATOS QUE CONTIENEN INFORMACION DE ESTADO DE ALGUNOS DE LOS PROGRAMAS, Y UN GENERADOR DE IMAGENES DE VIDEO PARA GENERAR UNA SEÑAL DE IMAGEN QUE COMPRENDE INFORMACION TANTO DE LA INFORMACION DE PROGRAMACION ALMACENADA COMO DE LA TRANSMISION DE DATOS RECIBIDA. EL SISTEMA POSEE ADEMAS UN DISPOSITIVO DE CONTROL PARA EL USUARIO, TAL COMO UN MANDO A DISTANCIA, PARA GENERAR COMANDOS DE CONTROL DE USUARIO Y TRANSMITIR SEÑALES AL PROCESADOR DE DATOS EN RESPUESTA A AQUELLOS PARA CONTROLAR EL CONTENIDO DE LA SEÑAL DE VISUALIZACION. LA SEÑAL DE VISUALIZACION PUEDE MOSTRARSE EN UN DISPOSITIVO DE VISUALIZACION, TAL COMO UN RECEPTOR DE TELEVISION. ADEMAS, EL SISTEMA DE PROGRAMACION DE LA PRESENTE INVENCION UTILIZA INTERFACES DE USUARIO DE CATEGORIA ESPECIFICA QUE PROPORCIONAN ACCESO A MULTIPLES SERVICIOS, INCLUYENDO PROGRAMAS DE TELEVISION, TRANSMISIONES DE DATOS RECIBIDAS, SERVICIOS DE COMPRA A DOMICILIO Y JUEGOS DE VIDEO, ASI COMO A LA INFORMACION DE PROGRAMACION.
