ABSTRACT:
A system for visually representing the location of an item on a television. In one embodiment, a user of the present system telephonically requests that a visual representation of the location of an item be transmitted from a telephone company and displayed on the user's television. In the present embodiment, the user's television is connected with the telephone company by a telephone line and a modem. Once the request is received at the telephone company, position information indicative of the location of the item is transmitted from the item to a receiver. The position information is then transmitted from the receiver to the telephone company. The acquired position information is then transmitted from the telephone company to the user's television. A visual representation of the position of the item is then displayed on the user's television.
