This invention discloses a method for displaying advertisements transmitted to a user unit, the method includes receiving, at the user unit, at least one advertisement tagged with a delay tag indicating whether display of the at least one advertisement can be delayed and only if the delay tag allows delaying display of the at least one advertisement, storing the at least one advertisement at the user unit, retrieving the at least one advertisement and displaying the at least one advertisement. A billing system for reporting a commercial broadcast to a multiplicity of users is also disclosed.

Advertisements in an end-user controlled playback environment

A subscriber unit for use in a television system including a television network and transmitting apparatus for transmitting program schedule information, the subscriber unit including a receiving unit for receiving the program schedule information, a profile storage unit for storing at least one viewer preference profile of at least one television viewer, an intelligent agent for customizing the program schedule information based, at least in part, on the viewer preference profile, to produce a program guide including customized program schedule information, and display apparatus for displaying the program guide.

Intelligent electronic program guide

A method for providing computerized word-based referencing including the steps of indicating a target word on a display, thereby causing a computer to identify the target word on the display by employing at least one of a text drawing function and a character recognition function in order to automatically identify at least one entry for the target word in at least one computerized data base based on the target word and additionally based on at least one word appearing in a vicinity thereof on the display to eliminate ambiguity in meaning in the target word; and displaying the at least one entry for the target word from the at least one computerized database on the display.

Method for providing computerized word-based referencing

A method for downloading a document via a communications medium operatively associated with a communications interface, the method including receiving the document from the communications medium, placing an information storage smart card in removable operative association with the communications interface, and conditionally transmitting the document from the communications interface to the information storage smart card and storing the document in the information storage smart card. Other related methods and apparatus are also provided.

Secure document access system

A secure access system for controlling access to a plurality of items. The system includes a first IC card reader adapted to receive a first IC card which includes first control information, a second IC card reader adapted to receive a second IC card which includes second control information, and a control integrator receiving the first control information and the second control information and allowing access to a first one of the plurality of items based, at least in part, on both the first control information and said second control information, and to a second one of the plurality of items based, at least in part, on the first control information, without regard to the second control information.

Secure access systems utilizing more than one IC card

A data access system is provided including a processor, an IC card reader and writer coupled to the processor and including an IC card receptacle, and an IC card which is insertable into the IC card receptacle and which has a memory which includes video data to be accessed by the processor. The processor includes security level data determining the level of encryption of said video data. In another embodiment of the invention, one IC card with two separate integrated circuits embodied within is provided, each of the separate integrated circuits being separately accessible by an IC card reader and writer.

Secure access system utilizing an access card having more than one

A CATV system including a CATV network and apparatus for transmitting over the CATV network information to a multiplicity of subscriber units, each including a CATV decoder and an IC card reader and writer coupled to the CATV decoder, the IC card reader and writer includes two separate IC card receptacles, such that IC cards inserted into the two separate IC card receptacles are separately accessed by the IC card reader and writer.
