Patent ID: 8272012

Claim:
A method of operating circuitry in a video control system, the method comprising: transferring a first video signal to drive a display device to display a data/video integration menu and receiving a first user instruction responsive to the display of the data/video integration menu, wherein the first user instruction indicates user-selected data and display positioning for the user-selected data, and wherein the display positioning in the first user instruction positions the user-selected data to cover an information crawl in video content and a second video signal drives the display device to display integrated video content and a user-selected data with the user-selected data positioned to cover the information crawl in the video content; transferring a request for the user-selected data in response to the first user instruction and receiving the user-selected data in response to the request; receiving the video content; integrating the user-selected data and the video content into the second video signal that positions the user-selected data relative to the video content according to the display positioning in the first user instruction; and transferring the second video signal to drive the display device to display the integrated video content and user-selected data with the user-selected data positioned relative to the video content according to the display positioning in the first user instruction wherein the display positioning in the first user instruction reduces a screen size for the video content and positions the user-selected data in open space left by the reduced screen size and the second video signal drives the display device to display the integrated video content and user-selected data with the user-selected data positioned in the open space left by the reduced screen size.
