Title:
COMMAND PROTOCOL FOR INTERACTIVE TV PRODUCTION TOOLS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004012436
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A command protocol enables an applications programming interface (API) between a first interactive television (ITV) equipment and a second ITV equipment for seamless communication between the two. An API command generator receives data from the first ITV equipment in a first format. The data may be, for example, a list of ITV events to be encoded into a television program. The command generator converts data into a second format according to the API and transmits the data in the second format to the second ITV equipment. The second ITV equipment may be, for example, an ITV data encoder encoding the list of ITV events transmitted by the first ITV equipment.
