‘The system and apparatus ofthe present invention includes.
4 triangular topology consisting of: 1) a distributor at the
broadcast point which receives data and then transmits this
ddataon the uni-directional broadcast channels.2) a plurality
‘of clients which receive tis data and periodically connect to
3) a router which receives the requests and acknowledg-
‘meats from the clients, and services these requests through
its connections to remote systems such as networks. host
‘computers, and the distributor.

HYBRID MULTICHANNEL DATA
‘TRANSMISSION SYSTEM UTILIZING A
BROADCAST MEDIUM
‘TECHNICAL FIELD
‘This invention relates generally to a hybrid data tans-
‘mission system. and more particularly. it relates to providing
4 hybrid telephone/multichannel-television (TV) and/or FM.
‘broadcast transmission system for information distribution,
datacasting and interactive data communications.
BACKGROUND ART
‘The growth and increasing popularity ofthe information
superhighway has created a need for the transmission of
high speed digital data to remote locations such as homes,
cies and mobile sites. Data may consist of a variety of
diferent types of information including for example. pro-
fram files. data files. text. graphics. photographic images.
Budio and video clips (as distinguished from radio and TV
programming).
Standard telephone lines. cellular networks and radio
systems deliver data too slowly for many of the current
applications. For example. compressed sil video images in
2 digital format requires the delivery of a large amount of
data. pically 5-50 kilo bytes. Downloading a typical
Internet page with multiple GIF format images. which sxe
already compressed, can take several minutes over a stan-
dad phone line witha 14400 baud or 28800 baud modem.
One existing solution is higher speed telephone Lines.
such as. ISDN lines and high speed broadband switched
digital service offered by telephone companies. However.
these higher speed services are sometimes expensive, often
