Abstract
Apparatus and methods for implementing the distribution of multiple content-related (e.g., interactive television or 'iTV') applications to geographically separated information receivers of differing capabilities. In one embodiment, the (iTV) application is independently selected, loaded, and executed by each of the information receivers. The invention advantageously provides for control of the distribution of multiple, different iTV applications distributed from multiple, different content provider control systems to multiple, different information receivers, as well as the communication of specific iTV application information data between at least one control system and multiple, iTV application information receivers. Communication of control information between multiple iTV application information receivers and content provider control systems, and the communication of interactive user information between multiple, iTV application information receivers and content provider control systems, is also provided for.
