Abstract

Systems and methods for providing supplemental content with on-demand media in an interactive television application are described.

Claims (76)

What is claimed is:
1. A method for providing on-demand media with supplemental content in an interactive television application, comprising:
receiving a request for on-demand media from a user;
retrieving supplemental content related to the on-demand media with the interactive television application;
providing the on-demand media in response to the request; and providing supplemental content to the user while the user is viewing the on-demand media.
2. The method defined in claim 1 wherein the on-demand media is audio-on-demand media, video-on-demand media, electronic publications, software applications, or third-party applications.
3. The method defined in claim 1 further comprising indicating the availability of supplemental content to the user.
4. The method defined in claim 1 further comprising providing a visual indicator of the availability of supplemental content.
5. The method defined in claim 4 wherein the visual indicator is selected from the group consisting of text, graphics, audio, video, and animation.
