Definitions

  • This invention relates to the use of TV sets for the display of web pages and in particular to the use of universal TV remote controls for navigating web pages.
  • TV remote control devices are used for remote control of a TV's functionality such as channel selection, volume and so on. These are distinct from computer mice that are used to control computer software applications.
  • One major difference between the two devices is that a computer mouse provides continual control of a cursor, allowing the mouse to be used as a pointing device for pointing to a desired "hot spot" in a displayed web page.
  • the hot spot is a link that may be selected by depressing a mouse button.
  • TV remote control devices are not adapted for direct pointing to specific areas of a TV screen.
  • the term "TV remote control device" is intended to be any device that allows remote control of a TV by means of arrows, keypad, trackball or any other means that allows direction of cursor movement to be distinguished.
  • US Patent No. 6,600,497 discloses a remote control used to interface with a set- top box. Common to these keypads are keys for digits 0-9, keys for letters A-C, and branded keys F and J.
  • the remote control may use conventional infrared signaling. Also provided are special function keys for history and bookmarks, forward and back, up and down arrow keys, and an enter key.
  • the display device is divided into a matrix of cells that are alphabetically encoded so as to allow navigation to a selected cell by depressing an appropriate key of the remote control device. Arrow keys may also be used in conventional manner to scroll through menu options but are not used to navigate between cells.
  • This reference is not intended for navigating web page content and is not suitable for use therefor for a number of reasons.
  • arranging the display area into a matrix of cells provides for only very coarse navigation. Although resolution can be improved by increasing the number of cells in the matrix, it becomes impossible to select a cell using a single key if the number of matrix cells exceeds the number of alphabetic keys in the remote control device.
  • Web pages are not predictable in their layout and in particular in the location of their hot spots. Use of the approach described in US Patent No. 6,600,497 to select web page hot spots would be feasible only if it could be ensured that a matrix cell would never contain more than a single hot spot. In practice, no such assurance is possible and to constrain web page designers to operate on this basis is clearly undesirable.
  • web pages may contain objects such as combo boxes, which require a different type of behavior for selecting an item.
  • objects such as combo boxes, which require a different type of behavior for selecting an item.
  • selecting a combo box opens a list of options, one of which may then be selected using the up and down arrows to locate a desired list item followed by the enter key.
  • a universal TV remote control unit having four arrow keys and a selection key for navigating a web page having one or more hot spots displayed on a TV screen, said method comprising:
  • a TV-Internet interface unit for navigating a web page having one or more hot spots displayed on a TV screen
  • said TV-Internet interface unit comprising: a receiver for receiving a command from a universal TV-Internet interface unit or keyboard having four arrow keys and a selection key, a decoder coupled to the receiver for decoding the command, and a processing unit coupled to the decoder and responsive to said command corresponding to an arrow key, said processing unit being programmed to scan the web page in horizontal and/or vertical directions at predetermined discrete intervals so as to scan successive virtual grid cells, to check whether each of said virtual grid cells is a hot spot, and if the currently scanned virtual grid cell is a hot spot to provide an indication and allow user selection using a selection key of the universal TV control.

  • the database 19 there may also be stored in the database 19 for at least some of the web pages stored therein a corresponding control file providing information relating to specific objects embedded in the respective web page.
  • HTML web pages may contain links, which when displayed for selection in a conventional computer environment and selected by clicking the left mouse button, causes redirection to a URL associated with the selected link.
  • links will be referred to as "hotspots.”
  • hotspots hi the environment of computer display of web pages, it is not necessary to highlight such hotspots since they are typically embedded within an object that is designed to catch the user's attention and is associated with displayable text or graphics that serves to identity the nature of the hotspot.
  • a link to an advertiser's home page may be displayed using the advertiser's trademark or logo, allowing immediate identification.
  • the identification is only part of the process: no less important in the conventional computer environment, having thus identified a hotspot of interest, the user can point to the hotspot with the mouse and the cursor provides immediate and direct feedback that the desired hotspot is selected so that subsequent depression of the left mouse button causes the required redirection. It is this feature more than the identification that is absent when a web page is displayed on a TV screen for navigation using a universal TV remote control, which produces no visible feedback as to its location on the TV screen.
  • Web pages typically contain much information apart from hotspots including objects that permit user interaction such as combo boxes, command buttons and so on. These objects will be referred to as "exceptions.” In the conventional computer environment, such objects can be pointed to using the mouse whereupon pressing the left mouse button actuates the object. To this extent they behave in much the same way as hotspots, but their manner of actuation is different.
  • Combo boxes for example, when actuated display a list of pre-stored entries for user selection. Scroll bars may be provided to scroll up and down the list, when more options are stored than can be displayed at any given time.
  • a conventional web browser knows how to interact with such objects, but when they are displayed on a TV screen, there is no web browser and in order to allow interaction using a universal TV remote control, special action must be taken. It is this special action that is inter alia the essence of the present invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a flow diagram showing the principal operations relating to pre- processing of web pages carried out by the web server 14 according to one embodiment of the invention for generating a control file in association with each web page for which special action is required.
  • the control file contains information relating to specific objects embedded in the respective web page.
  • the control file is prepared manually by analyzing the web page, which may be done using a conventional web browser, and for each object in the web page cross-referencing its type and location, hi the case of a redirection link, the corresponding URL may likewise be stored; in the case of a combo box, the list entries may be stored in the same sequential order as they are listed in the combo box; in the case of a command button, the associated command may be stored; and so on.
  • the control file provides some of the same control parameters as the web page but in a manner that allows the TV- Internet interface unit 16 to interact with the universal TV remote control to simulate mouse pointing, selection and control of exceptions.

  • the TV-Internet interface unit 16 builds a temporary table to save the coordinates of the hot spots and their associated type, thus replicating the information stored in the control file as described above. Once this is done, depression of the arrow keys in the TV remote control allows the next hot spot to be located, depending on the current position of a virtual cursor, which will then be moved to the next hotspot.

In this context, it should be noted that not all web pages are navigated using arrow keys.
  • a web page may contain form fields or other objects that are navigated using the forward and reverse Tab keys.
  • the automatic surf flag is not set and the TV- Internet interface unit thus knows that only the left and right arrow keys will be operative to simulate the forward and reverse Tab keys. If the automatic surf flag is set, this means that operation of the universal TV remote control must allow navigation of the web page and selection of hot spots in accordance with the invention.
  • Grid rate is a measure of how many pixels the virtual cursor must move for a single depression of the arrow key and may default to a value set by software in the TV-Internet interface unit 16 that may be over-ridden by an alter- native value in the control file. The higher the grid rate, the coarser is the grid resolution of the virtual grid cell that can be effectively navigated, so that for effective navigation grid rate is a function of the minimal spacing between objects in the web page.
  • the TV- Internet interface unit Upon entry of a key in either the keyboard or the TV remote control, the TV- Internet interface unit checks whether the pressed key is an arrow key. Each key combination in the TV remote control is translated to equivalent keyboard arrow ASCII codes and conveyed by IR to the TV-Internet interface unit. If the pressed key is not an arrow key, another key handler is used as appropriate: this not being a feature of the invention. If an arrow key is pressed, the current position is added to the grid rate value. It will be understood that unlike a conventional computer mouse, the wireless remote control according to the invention interacts via the TV-Internet interface unit, which has no way of knowing to where on the TV screen the remote control is directed.

If so, then the TV-Internet interface unit 16 operates in accordance with the parameters stored in the control file. For example, the control file may show that the current cursor position corresponds to a combo box having five entries in descending order (i) Lucy, (ii) Jane, (iii) Peter, (iv) Sue and (v) John.
  • Each name is stored and indexed in the control file, which also stores a type ID showing that the object is a combo box, and stores parameters showing how many entries are listed in the combo box and an optional parameter that indicates how many entries should be displayed at any given time.
  • This parameter may default to zero whereupon all entries in the combo box are displayed, but for completeness of the present description it will be assumed that it is set to 3.
