ACTV collaborated with Earthweb to create these internet patents. They are now owned exclusively by ACTV. Liberty Media's VP David Jensen has cited their value on numerous occasions. They are the true convergence of the PC and TV - video streaming data from the internet to the TV. They have yet to announce them. Note one of the inventors is the CEO of Earthweb. This stock could hit triple digits next year.

Inventors: Hidary; Jack D. (New York, NY); Ullman;Craig (Brooklyn, NY).
Assignee: ACTV, Inc. (New York, NY).
ABSTRACT
A system for integrating video programming with the vast information resources of the Internet. A computer based system receives a video program with embedded uniform resource locators (URLs). The URLs, the effective addresses of locations or Web sites on the Internet, are interpreted by the system and direct the system to the Web site locations to retrieve related Web pages. Upon receipt of the Web pages by the system, the Web pages are synchronized to the video content for display. The video program signal can be displayed on a video window on a conventional personal computer screen. The actual retrieved Web pages are time stamped to also be displayed, on another portion of the display screen, when predetermined related video content is displayed in the video window.

United States Patent 5,774,664Hidary, et. al.Jun. 30, 1998
Enhanced video programming system and method for incorporating anddisplaying retrieved integrated internet information segments
Inventors: Hidary; Jack D. (New York, NY); Ullman; Craig (Brooklyn, NY);Spivack; Nova T. (New York, NY). Assignee: ACTV, Inc. (New York, NY).

Abstract

A system for integrating video programming with the vast information resources of the Internet. A computer-based system receives a video program and uniform resource locators (URLs). The URLs, the effective addresses of locations or Web sites on the Internet, are interpreted by the system and direct the system to the Web site locations to retrieve related Web pages. Web pages related to the video programming appear upon receipt through the user's browser. The video program signal can be
displayed on a video window on a conventional personal computer screen.The actual retrieved Web pages can be time stamped to also be displayed, on another portion of the display screen, when predetermined related video content is displayed in the video window. The computer-based system can receive the URLs embedded in the video program or directly through an Internet connection, at times specified by TV broadcasters in advance. The system interprets the URLs and retrieves the appropriate Web pages. The Web pages are synchonized to the video content for display in conjunction with a television program being broadcast to the
user at that time. This system allows the URLs to be entered for livetransmission to the user.
