Description of the invention (7) The data stored in the PDA 14 to the data port 42 will cause the personal computer 40 to launch the web browsing software program and further cause the personal computer 40 to find the data provided in the data port 42 Url URL.在 一 In a further specific embodiment, the additional data code indicating that the URL has been downloaded from a digital VSB broadcast signal and / or identifying the user may also be included with the 7-site URL data. By reading this additional information, the website provider can determine which of the users who are accessing the website have already seen it and viewed the ads. Therefore, the present invention provides a mechanism for advertisers to discern two views and may be able to make a known television advertisement successful. In addition, these data codes can be used to allow users to obtain coupons from other methods on the site. The battle cannot be based on the fact that if the data stored in the PDA 1 4 contains the Internet data to generate the preferential list, then the mouth of the queen Ikiji village 玍 k #volume instead of the fenbei bamboo fantasy to δ Haibei 枓, transmitted to Personal Thunder brain 4n # ... The personal computer 40 can use it to print preferential treatment. The method is to provide the second volume of the data signal and another: a feasible volume, which can bring the PDA 14 to an electronic device capable of 1 Discounted by preferential retailers. The coupon: T contains the information. The device stored on the smart card to the station will be discounted. There is another report that each retailer knows that the smart card downloaded data can be downloaded from the personal electricity :: produced by: 'from the PDA 14 including the retailer that sells the advertising product, etc. =- A list of advertisements for the product's sales information, and: = the location of the merchant and the advertisement via the digital VSB broadcast signal to generate a coupon. Various kinds of 4L spoon shellfish materials with different levels of interest can include σ-like shellfish for users. The information can be 515201 V. Description of the invention (8) includes electronic coupons and a website u R L. However, users may only be interested in getting the coupon. In order to be able to specifically download coupons, the processor 32 of the pDA 14 must be designed to analyze the data received by the receiver 28 in order to identify the data needed for subsequent storage in the memory 34. In addition, the keyboard of the PDA U 30 preferably includes keys that enable the user to specify the required portion of the information. Alternatively, the processor 32 may be designed to simply store all the received data in the memory 34 and respond to the commands entered by the respondent. The processor 32 causes all the data to be transmitted to the personal computer 40, the personal computer 4 〇 It can be designed to identify the user. For example, the PDA 14-day uses an electric card 44, check the emperor's brain 4 and order the "personal computer 40", the personal two = a poor material guide program (not shown), listed pD " ^ Various data sets stored in Zu 34. Alternatively, the TV controller “” may be designed to analyze the Moonbeam 2 transmitted in the digital VSB broadcast signal, and may be further designed to communicate the required information of PD A 1 4 in response to the specific information required by PDA 14 And other specific data sets.

As shown, in step 64, the digital broadcast signal is received by a digital receiver 12. Then, in step 66, the information contained in the digital broadcast signal is separated from the television program signal, which has been explained in detail earlier. At step 6 8 'the processor of the digital receiver monitors the received data and decides whether there are coupons, URLs or other downloadable data in the received data, if there is such data' it will be displayed on the screen for example The display system prompts the user to download the data (step 7). If the user wishes to download the data (step 72) ', the system 10 will check whether the smart card 52 is placed in the data writer 50 (step 74). If the user does not want to download the data, the system 10 returns to the normal operation (step 76).
