Products
for the New Era
of PC/TV Convergence
Internet
Media provides consumer electronics manufacturers, telecommunications providers,
and media companies with enabling technologies and online content to help
consumers make Internet access easier, more useful, and more fun.
As the personal computer
merges with television in the coming era of convergence, the Internet will
increasingly take on the characteristics of television. And television,
as we know it today, will likewise start to "act" more like the
Internet.
The Internet will change dramatically with the onset of convergence. And
consumers who access the Internet on their televisions via set-top boxes
will demand far greater ease-of-use than is currently found in today's Internet,
whose access is dominated by technically complex--and often unreliable--personal
computers.
Internet Media gives new Internet users in the emerging "TV-Centric
Internet" the tools and technologies they need to get the most from
convergence.
The Jump Code Access Feature: Open Access Standard for Net TV and Other
Internet-Based Consumer Access Devices:
Users of Sony's WebTV get instant access to the Internet's best features
with Internet Media's Jump Codesô (patent applied for). Entering four-digit
Jump Codesô on WebTV-style remotes is the easiest, quickest and most
intuitive way for consumers to get fast access to Internet Web sites and
newsgroups, without entering URLs.
Standard Screen Interface Future implementations of the Jump Codeô
Feature will be incorporated into the screen interfaces and hand-held remotes
offered by manufacturers of Internet set-top boxes and other Net-capable
devices.
Integrating Seamlessly with Other Media, such as What's on
the Web®, Internet Media's printed guidebook distributed with
Sony's WebTV, Jump Codesô may be incorporated into any current mass-media
formóprint, radio, or broadcast television.
The Jump Code Open Standard,ô will open Jump Codeô access
to the entire Internet. JCOS will allow open, no-cost site registration
and automatic assignment of Jump Codesô to all Web site administrators,
providing all Web sites with easy access via Internet-enabled devices.
