Abstract:
1. A system for selectively accessing video data and page data, comprising: a format manager for manipulating said video data and said page data, said format manager copying said page data to create duplicate page data, inserting a video tag into said duplicate page data, and selectively positioning said video tag to vertically locate a video window on a display device in relation to a current reference position on said display device, said video window being repositionable and resizeable within said duplicate page data on said display device, said video window displaying a video program currently in progress, said duplicate page data being scrollable with reference to said video window on said display device, said format manager recomputing said current reference position each time said duplicate page data is scrolled to maintain said video window in a stationary position on said display device, said current reference position being computed by combining a prior reference position and a scroll value, said scroll value being positive when said duplicate page data is scrolled down, said scroll value being negative when said duplicate page data is scrolled upwards; and a processor, coupled to said format manager for controlling said format manager, whereby said video data and said duplicate page data are simultaneously shown on said display device.
