System, method and program for obtaining WWW information of interest to a
user. The WWW information is related to a subject in a television, radio
or other type of program which is broadcast. Before the program is
broadcast, a plurality of documents are stored in a user device. Each of
the documents has a plurality of categories. While the program is
broadcast, a user indicates to the user device interest in a subject in
the program currently being broadcast and selects one of the documents.
In response, the user device displays the one document, and the user
selects one of the categories in the one document. The user device
determines a time that the user indicated the interest in the subject and
transmits the time to a computer associated with the broadcast. In
response, the computer correlates the time to an associated hyperlink
referencing WWW information related to the subject, and transmits the
associated hyperlink to the user device. In response, the user device
correlates the hyperlink to the one category. Subsequently, the user
device displays the hyperlink in association with the one category. If
the user selects the hyperlink, the user device downloads and displays a
web page or web file addressed by the hyperlink.
