摘要： A program guide system is provided in which interactive television program guide advertisement usage is monitored. Advertisement usage may be monitored by monitoring when advertisements are transmitted from a television distribution facility to user television equipment. Advertisement usage information may also be monitored by monitoring when advertisements are received by the user television equipment. Advertisement usage information may also be monitored at the time at which advertisements are displayed by a program guide. Less important data may be filtered from the collected advertisement usage data. Other activities that may be monitored include the viewing activities of the user, which program guide screens are displayed, and which non-program-guide applications are used. Real-time ratings information (e.g., real-time ratings of the popularity of certain television programs, video games, or other applications) may be provided to users in real time.

摘要： A system is provided in which an interactive television program guide application and non-program-guide applications are at least partially implemented on user television equipment. A program guide program application interface is provided that is used to maintain a consistent user interface between the program guide application and the non-program-guide applications. Non-program-guide applications may be launched by the program guide application. The user may select certain non-program-guide applications as favorites and may set parental controls for certain non-program-guide applications. The program guide application may run in the background while a non-program-guide application operates. While the non-program-guide application operates, the program guide may check for events that require immediate attention. When such an event is detected, operation of the non-program-guide application may be suspended and the user may be asked whether the detected event should take place or whether operation of the non-program-guide application should be resumed. The applications may be located at a remote location such as on a server at a cable system headend or on a server on the Internet. The program application interface may perform authentication and access rights determination functions. Reminders may be set for the content of non-program-guide applications.
摘要翻译：提供了一种系统，其中交互式电视节目指南应用和非节目指南应用至少部分地在用户电视设备上实现。提供了一种程序指南程序应用程序接口，用于在程序指南应用程序和非程序指导应用程序之间维护一致的用户界面。非程序指南应用程序可能由程序指南应用程序启动。用户可以选择某些非节目指南应用程序作为收藏夹，并且可以为某些非节目指南应用设置家长控制。程序指南应用程序可以在非程序指南应用程序运行时在后台运行。非程序指南应用程序运行时，程序指南可以检查需要立即注意的事件。当检测到这样的事件时，可以暂停非节目指南应用的操作，并且可以询问用户是否应该发生检测到的事件，或者是否应该恢复非节目指南应用的操作。应用可以位于远程位置，例如在电缆系统头端的服务器或因特网上的服务器上。程序应用程序接口可以执行认证和访问权限确定功能。可以为非程序指南应用程序的内容设置提醒。
