Method and system for displaying and updating electronic information on a display device

A system for displaying and updating electronic information on a display device, the system comprising:

• at least one electronic database that stores first and second digital information relating to at least one product;
• at least one server configured to transmit the first and second digital information to the display device to be displayed thereon by at least one user interface pages navigable by a user, with the display device being remotely located from the at least one server;
• and
• at least one processor associated with the at least one server and remotely located from the display device, with the at least one processor being configured to determine, based on page navigation information relating to the at least one user interface page being displayed on the display device, whether at least one of the first and second digital information is being displayed on the at least one user interface page,
• wherein, when the first digital information is being displayed on the at least one user interface page, the at least one server is configured to transmit unscheduled updates of the first digital information to the display device, such that the at least one user interface page dynamically displays updated first digital information relating to the at least one product on the display device.

A set-top box comprising:

• a processor configured to facilitate electronic based transactions,
• wherein the set-top box is coupled to a display device and is configured to:
• transmit a user request to at least one server that is remotely located from the display device,
• receive, from the at least one server and in response to the user request, first and second digital information that relates to at least one product,
• display, on the display device coupled to the set-top box, the first and second digital information by at least one user interface page navigable by a user,
• transmit, to the at least one server, page navigation information relating to the at least one user interface page that indicates whether at least one of the first and second digital information is being displayed on the at least one user interface page,
• automatically receive, from the at least one server, unscheduled updates of the first digital information when the at least one user interface page current page is displaying the first digital information, and
• dynamically display the updated first digital information on the at least one user interface page on the display device.

A method for displaying and updating electronic information on a display device, the method comprising:

• storing, by at least one electronic database, first and second digital information relating to at least one product;
• transmitting, by at least one server, the first and second digital information to the display device to be displayed thereon by at least one user interface pages navigable by a user, with the display device being remotely located from the at least one server;
• determining, by at least one processor associated with the at least one server and remotely located from the display device, whether at least one of the first and second digital information is currently being displayed on the at least one user interface page;
• and
• when the first digital information is being displayed on the at least one user interface page, transmitting, by the at least one server, unscheduled updates of the first digital information to the display device, such that the at least one user interface page dynamically displays updated first digital information relating to the at least one product on the display device.
