Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0233656A2] A communications management system is provided comprising a first source of photograph image data, a second source of movie/television programming, a cable head distribution subsystem coupled the first source and the second source for selectively providing a distribution output, a set-top box, coupled to the cable head distribution subsystem, a remote control for providing user signals, and an in-room television. The set-top box is responsive to the user signals from the remote for selecting and coupling the distribution output to provide a set-top output for presentation on the in-room television.

[origin: WO0233656A2] A communications management system is provided comprising a first source of photograph image data (240), a second source of movie/television programming, a cable head (295) distribution subsystem coupled to the first source and the second source selectively providing a distribution output, a set-top box, coupled to the cable head (295) distribution subsystem, a remote control (267) for providing user signals, and an in-room television (166). The set-top box is responsive to the user signals from the remote (267) for selecting and coupling the distribution output to provide a set-top output for presentation on the in-room television (166).
