United States Patent 5,828,402
Collings Oct. 27, 1998

Method and apparatus for selectively blocking audio and
video signals

Abstract

A method and apparatus to block the reception of television programming
which meets specified criteria. Data packets describing television
programming are broadcast with the television signal. The data packets
include at least packets which contain category information specifying a
level in one or more multi-level categories and/or label information
specifying labels applied to the program content of the signal. Data packets
in an incoming video signal are detected by a blocking apparatus and
compared to preferences stored in non-volatile memory in the blocking
apparatus. If the contents of the data packets match or exceed the stored
preferences then the video signal is blocked. The apparatus is field
configurable. Configuration information specifying the rating scheme is
transmitted to the apparatus. The methods of the invention are extremely
flexible and allow several different rating systems to be used
simultaneously.

Tri-Vision Electronics Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tri-Vision
International Ltd./Ltee, holds the exclusive global rights to the proprietary
v-chip technology developed by award-winning Canadian inventor, Tim
Collings.

Tri-Vision International Ltd./Ltee is a public company founded in 1986
and trading on Canada's Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol TVL.
