Abstract
A system and method for navigating Internet content with a limited or non-existent return channel, limited bandwidth and/or a set-top box with limited processing power.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- generating a first bitmapped image of web content and a second bitmapped image of additional web content, the web content including a link referencing the additional web content, the first bit-mapped image including a visual representation of the link referencing the additional web content, the additional web content including a link referencing the web content, the second bit-mapped image including a visual representation of the link referencing the web content;
- generating a first link tag for the link referencing the additional web content and a second link tag for the link referencing the web content;
- partitioning the first bitmapped image and second bitmapped image respectively into a first set of partitions and a second set of partitions;
- assigning a plurality of partition identifiers, a particular first set partition of the first set of partitions being assigned a first partition identifier and a particular second set partition of the second set of partitions being assigned a second partition identifier;
- associating the first link tag with the second partition identifier, the particular second set partition being the partition to which the link referencing the additional web content refers;
- and
- associating the second link tag with the first partition identifier, the particular first set partition being the partition to which the link referencing the web content refers.

A method comprising:
- receiving a first link tag, a second link tag, a first set of partitions, and a second set of partitions from a head end, the first link tag generated for a link referencing additional web content and the second link tag generated for a link referencing web content, a particular first set partition of the first set of partitions being assigned a first partition identifier and a particular second set partition of the second set of partitions being assigned a second partition identifier, the second link tag being associated with the first partition identifier, a particular first set partition being the partition to which the link referencing the web content refers, the first link tag being associated with a second partition identifier, a particular second set partition being the partition to which the link referencing the additional web content refers, the first set of partitions being partitioned from a first bitmapped image, the second set of partitions being partitioned from a second bitmapped image, the first bitmapped image being generated from web content and the second bitmapped image being generated from additional web content, the web content including the link referencing the additional web content, the first bit-mapped image including a visual representation of the link referencing the additional web content, the additional web content including the link referencing the web content, the second bit-mapped image including a visual representation of the link referencing the web content;
- generating a display including the particular first set partition;
- receiving a request for a portion of the display associated with the visual representation of the link referencing the additional web content;
- and
- generating an additional display include the particular second set partition based on receipt of the request.
