Abstract
Techniques for interpretation of DVD assembly language programs for television (TV) receivers operating in Java TV environments are provided. The techniques can be used to implement a Java-based command/control enabling system. The Java-based command/control enabling system can be implemented as a Java-based DVD assembly language interpreter which interacts with various modules including video, audio, graphics overlay, and remote control modules. As such, the Java-based command/control enabling systems can provide similar command/control functions as those provided by DVD systems.
