Abstract

See full text

A method is disclosed for processing modules in an audio video interactive (AVI) receiver receiving a packet service including a plurality of modules, each module having a name and including time multiplexed transmission units, each transmission unit including a header packet containing the name of the module. First a request to perform a process on a module identified by a name is received and an entry containing the received name and requested process is inserted into a list of entries. A header packet in the packet service is then detected. If the name in the detected header packet matches a name in an entry in the list, packet processing circuitry performs the process in the matching entry and a message is sent indicating that the process has been performed.
