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 cable television company and displayed on the user's television. In the present embodiment, the user's television is connected with the cable television company by cable. Once the request is received at the cable television 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 cable television company. The acquired position information is then transmitted from the cable television company to the user's television. A visual representation of the position of the item is then displayed on the user's television.
