Patent ID: 7793327

Claim:
A terminal device for using different services offered via a telecommunications network, comprising: at least one receiving device configured for receiving image and sound information from the telecommunications network; at least one transmitting device configured for transmitting data to the telecommunications network, the data used to select the received image and sound information from the telecommunications network; an input unit connected to the transmitting device and configured to interface with an input device, the input device configured to interact with the terminal device, including the transmitting device; a decoder configured for decoding the image and sound information, the decoder connected downstream of a decryption device so as to enable program and control information, transmitted together with the image and sound information, to be evaluated; and at least one output configured for outputting at least one of the image and sound information, wherein priorities in assembling of the image and sound information are controlled using data received with the image and sound information, wherein the priorities and a representation of the image and sound information are dependent on operator input via the terminal device so as to display or hide individual images of a joint synchronous representation of two or more images from the outputted image information, wherein transparency features in the image information permits complex foreground/background superimposition of the individual images of the joint synchronous representation.
