`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`A television viewer uses a PIP format for display of program
`related information such as television program listings from a
`program schedule data base in the background and moving,
`real time or stored video clip images of a program selected
`from the displayed listings in the PIP window. All the text of
`the background information lies outside the PIP window. In
`one embodiment, as the viewer selects a particular program
`from the display of current television program listings by
`means of a cursor or a code number, the corresponding pro(cid:173)
`gram automatically appears in the PIP window.
