Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a method and system for a DHCT coupled to a display to enable a user to access functionality of a service infrastructure of an interactive television network by a middleware markup language. In one implementation, the DHCT presents a user one or more selectable link representations in a uniform resource identifier protocol that correspond to a separate services. The DHCT receives input of a selected link representation label from one of the selectable link representations for activation of one of the services corresponding to the selected link representation label. Thereafter, the DHCT translates the selected link representation label from the uniform resource identifier protocol to an executable call and activates the interactive television application for presentation to the user by the executable call.
