    • Methods for slice-based encoding of program guides and user interfaces. The program guides include multiple video streams for picture-in-picture and other applications. A method for encoding the program guide includes encoding a first set of slices for each of a plurality of graphics pages; and encoding a second set of slices for each of a plurality of video streams.The user interfaces are multi-functional and may be used for electronic commerce and other applications. A method of generating the user interface includes encoding a set of slices for each of a plurality of objects, each object being characterized by an identity, at least one attribute, and at least one operation. In one embodiment of this method, the plurality of objects include an electronic commerce object, where the electronic commerce object is attributed with a first hyper text markup language (HTML) page.A head-end centric system and apparatus for encoding and delivery of realtime and non-realtime content, including: a non-realtime content source for providing non-realtime content; a non-realtime encoder for encoding the non-realtime content into encoded non-realtime content; a realtime content source for providing realtime video and audio content; a realtime encoder for encoding the realtime video and audio content into encoded real-time video and audio; a remultiplexer for repacketizing the encoded non-realtime content and the encoded realtime video and audio into transport packets; and a re-timestamp unit coupled to the remultiplexer for providing timestamps to be applied to the transport packets in order to synchronize the realtime and non-realtime content therein.

    • Techniques to deliver targeted advertisements and multimedia contents to viewers. Various types of advertisements are encoded and transmitted. The advertisements may be targeted for different coverage areas (e.g., national and local levels) and may further include various categories (e.g., kids, sports, business, and so on). At the terminal, one or more advertisements may be selected for display based on various selection schemes. The particular advertisement to be selected for display at a terminal may be based on the terminal's assigned profile or user interaction at the terminal. The profile may be assigned based on the last program viewed at the terminal, a particular filter icon selected at the terminal, the observed television viewing habits of the viewer at the terminal, and so on. The techniques may also be advantageously used for delivery of other multimedia contents and for other applications.
    • 向观众提供有针对性的广告和多媒体内容的技术。 各种类型的广告被编码和传输。 广告可以针对不同的覆盖区域(例如,国家和地方级别),并且还可以包括各种类别(例如,孩子,运动,商业等)。 在终端,可以基于各种选择方案来选择一个或多个广告来进行显示。 要选择用于在终端显示的特定广告可以基于终端在终端处分配的简档或用户交互。 该配置文件可以基于在终端处观看的最后节目,在终端处选择的特定过滤器图标,观看者在终端处观看的观看习惯等来分配。 这些技术还可以有利地用于传送其他多媒体内容和其他应用。

    • An interactive program guide (IPG) may include a program grid section and a multimedia section. The program grid section typically contains program information organized in a grid with a time axis and a channel axis. The multimedia section may include video for advertisement, previews, and other purposes. Such an IPG may be rendered and encoded at a server and distributed to client terminals in the form of compressed bit streams.For certain IPGs, the program grid section may comprise alternating stripes of background with different shades (lighter/darker) or different colors. Typically, the alternating background stripes may be used to visually separate text information into timeslots or channels.Blank areas of the background may be “skip” encoded to “save” a portion of the bit rate. Meanwhile, the quantizer stepsize for encoding that section may be lowered so as to utilize the saved bits to improve the viewing quality of the program grid section. Additionally or alternatively, the quantization matrix for encoding the program grid section may be optimized for encoding text (rather than being, for example, a standard quantization matrix).Encoding may be performed on the program grid section such that encoded macroblocks do not cross a border between two stripes. In other words, each encoded macroblock in the program grid section may be within a single stripe. Additionally or alternatively, low-pass frequency filtering may be applied on the background stripes. Such low-pass filtering reduces visual defects due to ringing from edges between stripes.
    • 交互式节目指南(IPG)可以包括节目网格部分和多媒体部分。 节目网格部分通常包含组织在具有时间轴和频道轴的网格中的节目信息。 多媒体部分可以包括用于广告,预览和其他目的的视频。 这样的IPG可以在服务器处呈现和编码,并以压缩比特流的形式分发给客户终端。 对于某些IPG,程序网格部分可以包括具有不同色调(较亮/较暗)或不同颜色的背景的交替条纹。 通常,交替的背景条纹可用于将文本信息视觉上分离成时隙或信道。 背景的空白区域可以被编码为“保存”比特率的一部分的“跳过”。 同时,用于编码的量化器步骤可以降低该部分,以便利用保存的比特来改善节目网格部分的观看质量。 附加地或替代地,用于编码节目网格部分的量化矩阵可以被优化用于编码文本(而不是例如是标准量化矩阵)。 可以在节目网格部分上执行编码,使得编码的宏块不跨越两个条纹之间的边界。 换句话说,程序网格部分中的每个编码的宏块可以在单个条带内。 另外或替代地,低通滤波可以应用在背景条纹上。 这种低通滤波减少了由于条纹之间的边缘的振铃导致的视觉缺陷。
