Found this on Broadcasting and Cable ***************************** Date Posted: 4/16/1999 Wolzien's own Although comfortable with the intellectual satisfaction of owning a patent, media analyst Tom Wolzien now has something more: Financial satisfaction. ACTV Inc. is expected to disclose next week that it has acquired an interactive TV patent from the Sanford Bernstein & Co. analyst to incorporate into its own service. Four years ago Wolzien hit on the idea for embedding a Web address in TV programming, allowing viewers to click on an on-screen button to retrieve specific data from the Internet. Combining TV and the Internet didn't seem like much at the time, but that idea is now a key element of many cable and programmers' plans for interactive television. "The Wolzien Process" will now be included in ACTV's HyperTV software for content producers. An aside: ACTV is giving anyone developing special programming aimed at helping disabled people get a big price break, a nod toward Wolzien's son, Trevor, who was paralyzed in a car accident three years ago.
