摘要： Strategies are described for performing retry analysis in an environment which involves the transmission of media information from a source module to a target module. In the context of the source module, the retry analysis determines whether the source module should satisfy the retry requests issued by the target module. In the context of the target module, the retry analysis determines whether the target module should generate the retry requests in the first place. Novel request reporting formats are also described. The target module performs analysis to determine what reporting format it should use to convey the retry requests to the source module.
摘要翻译：描述了在涉及将媒体信息从源模块传输到目标模块的环境中执行重试分析的策略。在源模块的上下文中，重试分析确定源模块是否应满足目标模块发出的重试请求。在目标模块的上下文中，重试分析确定目标模块是否应首先生成重试请求。还介绍了新的请求报告格式。目标模块执行分析，以确定将哪些报告格式用于将重试请求传达给源模块。

摘要： Retry request overload protection is described. A server system determines a client status based on retry requests received from the client. The client status may be used to determine whether to accept and/or process new retry requests received from the client and/or whether to transmit previously requested retry packets to the client. The client status may be based on a number of retry requests received from the client, a number of retry packets requested by the client, and/or a number of bytes of data associated with the retry requests received from the client. The client status may be updated periodically, enabling a non-favorable client status to be modified to a favorable client status if retry requests recently received from the client are within favorable limits.
摘要翻译：描述重试请求过载保护。服务器系统基于从客户端接收的重试请求来确定客户端状态。客户端状态可以用于确定是否接受和/或处理从客户端接收的新的重试请求和/或是否将先前请求的重试分组传送到客户端。客户端状态可以基于从客户端接收的多个重试请求，客户端请求的重试分组的数量和/或与从客户端接收的重试请求相关联的数据字节数。可以周期性地更新客户端状态，使得如果从客户端最近接收到的重试请求在有利的限度内，则使非有利的客户端状态被修改为有利的客户端状态。

摘要： A system or method selects among multiple tuners to tune a particular channel. A request is received to tune a first channel. In response to this request, a first tuner is assigned to tune the first channel. A request is received to tune a second channel. If the program tuned by the first tuner is not being recorded, the first tuner is assigned to tune the second channel. If the program tuned by the first tuner is being recorded, the second tuner is assigned to tune the second channel.

摘要： A MediaDescription data structure that includes both descriptive metadata, such as EPG information, about a multimedia content item and instructions for acquiring the content item is assigned to each multimedia content item in a multimedia system. A MediaDescription data structure is transferable as a token for representing the content item. The acquisition information may also include information about presenting the content item in different view contexts, as well as information about relationships to other pieces of content, and information about how each different version of the content item is to be acquired and displayed. MediaDescription data structure tokens can be used to facilitate digital video recording (DVR) processes, Internet content rendering processes, multimedia search processes, search results aggregating processes, video-on-demand (VOD) processes, pay-per-view processes, and program guide rendering processes.
摘要翻译：包括关于多媒体内容项目的诸如EPG信息的描述性元数据和用于获取内容项目的指令的MediaDescription数据结构被分配给多媒体系统中的每个多媒体内容项目。 MediaDescription数据结构可作为用于表示内容项的令牌转移。获取信息还可以包括关于在不同视图环境中呈现内容项目的信息，以及关于与其他内容片段的关系的信息，以及关于如何获取和显示内容项目的每个不同版本的信息。媒体描述数据结构令牌可用于促进数字视频录制（DVR）过程，互联网内容呈现过程，多媒体搜索过程，搜索结果聚合过程，视频点播（VOD）流程，按次付费流程和程序指导渲染过程。

摘要： Tiered command distribution is described. In an embodiment, a pipeline architecture includes processor chains of data processors that process control events received from an application interface control. A tier assignment algorithm determines the longest path of data processors through the processor chains to determine a tier allocation for each data processor in the set of processor chains. Each tier includes a data processor from one or more of the processor chains where a first set of data processors in a first tier each receive a control event and process the control event and/or process the data according to the control event before a second set of data processors in a second tier each receive the control event.

摘要： DVR-based targeted advertising is described. In an embodiment, a targeted advertisement system includes a DVR, an advertisement data store, and an advertisement manager. The DVR records media content, maintains the recorded media content for on-demand viewing, and provides the recorded media content for viewing when requested. The advertisement manager designates advertisement region(s) in the recorded media content as the media content is being recorded, where an advertisement region includes a first boundary and a second boundary to designate the advertisement region in the media content. The advertisement manager monitors a first data stream of the recorded media content when it is rendered for viewing to detect that a playback position of the first data stream has crossed an advertisement region boundary, and to initiate that an advertisement obtained from the advertisement data store be provided as a second data stream to render the advertisement for viewing.
