Application 09/732,498
2. As depicted in Figure 1, the interactive television includes an
application server (110) that transmits an application program (120) to an
integrated receiver decoder (IRD) (160) via a satellite link formed by a
broadcast center (130), a communication satellite (140) and a satellite dish
(150) (Id.)
3. The IRD includes a flash memory (190), which stores a data log (180)
of users’ navigation and transaction activities. The IRD is coupled to a GUI
(170) that permits users to transmit callback functionality including the
received application program data to a communication server (210) via a
modem. (Id. 7.)
4. The communication server (210) forwards the callback data to an
interactive server (220), including a CPU of at least 333 MHz and at least
256 MB RAM. The interactive server (220) encapsulates the data into an
appropriate protocol before forwarding it to an interactive data repository
(240) via a router application (230) written in UNIX C or Open TV. (Id. 8-
9.)
The Prior Art Relied Upon
5. As depicted in Figure 1, Brown teaches a system for logging data in
an interactive television system (20) having a centralized computer
center (22) with a server system (24), an event log manager (56) and a log
database (62) (Col. 3, l. 65- col. 4, l. 11.)
6. In Brown, the centralized computer system/headend (22)
communicates via a network (28) with a user interface unit (26) to enable
users to download or store applications received from the headend (22) in
the event buffer (34) and the memory (36). (Col. 4, ll. 46-65.)
