摘要： Interactive media systems and methods are provided for substituting pause-time content in place of media that has been paused. The user may pause media such as real-time media, video-on-demand media, near video-on-demand, or recorded media. If the user pauses real-time media or near video-on-demand media, the interactive media application may store the media. The interactive media application may also provide the user with the ability to rewind, resume play of, and fast-forward the media. The pause-time content may be audio or video media and may be an advertisement, trivia, program summaries or any other suitable pause-time content. The interactive media application may provide customized pause-time content specific to the user or specific to the media paused by using media data associated with the media. The interactive media application may also prevent the user from accessing features (e.g., fast-forward) of the system.
摘要翻译：提供交互式媒体系统和方法代替暂停时内容代替暂停的媒体。用户可以暂停诸如实时媒体，视频点播媒体，靠近视频点播或记录媒体的媒体。如果用户暂停实时媒体或靠近视频点播媒体，则交互式媒体应用可以存储媒体。交互式媒体应用程序还可以向用户提供倒带，恢复播放和快进媒体的能力。暂停时间内容可以是音频或视频媒体，并且可以是广告，琐事，节目摘要或任何其他合适的暂停时间内容。交互式媒体应用可以通过使用与媒体相关联的媒体数据来提供特定于用户的定制的暂停时间内容或特定于暂停的媒体。交互式媒体应用还可以防止用户访问系统的特征（例如，快进）。

摘要： A system and method may be provided that allows users to store, retrieve, and manipulate on-demand media content and data stored on a remote server network in an on-demand media delivery system. More particularly, the system may allow a user to access his or her on-demand media account from user equipment in different locations as long as the current user equipment can communicate with a remote server that stores user-specific information. The system upon user selection may freeze the delivery of on-demand media at a particular point and allow the user to resume the media at a later time from some other network location in system. Users may upload personal images or files to an on-demand delivery server for later retrieval and display. Users may be permitted to assign access rights to the uploaded files.

摘要： A system is provided in which an interactive television program guide is implemented on user television equipment such as a set-top box. The program guide provides an operator showcase in the form of one or more operator showcase television listings screens, each of which contains a set of television listings information. The sets of television listings information are generated by querying a database of television listings data in a database in the set-top box. Each database query is based on content criteria previously selected by the cable system operator or other service provider. The service provider is also able to define the format with which the television listings information is displayed in the television listings screens. A title and logos may also be selected by the service provider for each screen. The operator showcase television listings screens may therefore by customized and branded by the service provider. The user may access multiple operator showcase television listings screens using a centralized operator showcase menu.
