Abstract
A method consistent with certain implementations involves receiving a triggered declarative object (TDO) at a digital television receiver device that carries out a programmed routine when user activated; the TDO further including a scripted control object that when activated by the viewer implements a Personal Video Recorder (PVR) function; and executing the TDO to cause the TDO to generate a signal that presents the scripted control object. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving a triggered declarative object (TDO) to a digital television receiver device that carries out a programmed routine when user activated;
- the TDO further including a scripted control object that when activated by the viewer implements a Personal Video Recorder (PVR) function on an identified item of program content;
- displaying the control object on a display;
- receiving a signal indicating user activation of the control object;
- and
- carrying out the said PVR function responsive to receipt of the signal, where the PVR function comprises retrieval and storage functions related to the said identified item of program content.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a triggered declarative object (TDO) at a digital television receiver device that carries out a programmed routine when user activated;
- the TDO further including a scripted control object that when activated by the viewer implements a Personal Video Recorder (PVR) function;
- and
- executing the TDO to cause the TDO to generate a signal that presents the scripted control object.
A device, comprising:
- a processor;
- a digital television receiver device adapted to receive a triggered declarative object (TDO) to a digital television receiver device that carries out a programmed routine on the processor when user activated;
- the TDO further including a scripted control object that when activated by the viewer implements a PVR function;
- and where the processor is programmed to execute the TDO to cause the TDO to generate a signal that presents the scripted control object.
