A unified system of programming communication. The system encompasses the prior art (television, radio, broadcast hardcopy, computer communications, etc.) and new user specific mass media. Within the unified system, parallel processing computer systems, each having an input (e.g.,) controlling a plurality of computers (e.g.,), generate and output user information at receiver stations. Under broadcast control, local computers (), combine user information selectively into prior art communications to exhibit personalized mass media programming at video monitors (), speakers (), printers (), etc. At intermediate transmission stations (e.g., cable television stations), signals in network broadcasts and from local inputs () cause control processors () and computers () to selectively automate connection and operation of receivers (), recorder/players (), computers (), generators (), strippers (), etc. At receiver stations, signals in received transmissions and from local inputs () cause control processors () and computers () to automate connection and operation of converters (), tuners (), decryptors (), recorder/players (), computers (), furnaces (), etc. Processors () meter and monitor availability and usage of programming.A method is described for controlling a receiver station using stored data specific to a user. By receiving a computer program transmitted from a transmitter station, the computer program is stored at the receiver station. Upon execution of the computer program, the data specific to a user is processed to generate information content at an output device.

The receiver station receives an electronic digital information transmission including operating system instructions and a digital control signal that designates a designated hardware version of a programmable device. The received operating system instructions are communicated to the memory if a match occurs between the designated hardware version included in the transmission and the specific version of the programmable device resident at the receiver station.

A remote data source stores digital data and receives a transmission originated from the receiver station. The subscriber specific solution or subscriber specific action is based on a subscriber specific analysis, and is dependent on transmitting the digital data from the remote data source to the receiver station.
