Microsoft: 'Chat with ... TV'

The software giant has filed a patent application for a technology that is interesting at first: Turn all TV screens into chat windows.

With the " Multi-mode Interactive TV Chat " system, Microsoft has drawn a perspective on a magical world, where watching TV, you can also select links displayed on the screen to access Many different applications. For example, you can go to a chat room to talk about the show being screened.

In other words, the computer met with television.

The TV screen and chat interface will appear as different frames on the same screen, so you won't have to try to pay attention to both screens at the same time.

The more interesting thing about this patent is that it is completely feasible. This idea is not too bold or revolutionary, and it is only a matter of time before Microsoft can put life into it, turning it into a meaty leather product.

Analysts said that in the future, Windows Media Center versions will integrate this technology, and then, all of us will enjoy the convenience of it.

However, if you do not work well, this is probably also a nightmare, when you are watching TV that someone tries to interrupt to talk to you. Will it be frustrating, right?
