Abstract

See full text

Television programs are represented by program interface objects (PIOs) within an interactive television system. The PIOs provide at least one visual indicator for quick identification of the represented television program, attributes providing information concerning the represented television program, and actions that may be performed on or in connection with the represented television program. The PIOs may be sorted, filtered, and/or managed based on user-provided criteria. The PIOs may be transmitted between a variety of electronic devices and software applications.
