摘要： A method for generating and maintaining hierarchical tags with community-based ratings is provided. Tags for media streams are organized into a hierarchical format. Users may select tags from the hierarchical tag database that describes a particular multimedia content. If the user is unable to locate a desired tag, the user may submit a new tag. Upon submission of the new tag, a librarian approves the tag before storing and placing the tag in the hierarchical tag database. Users are also able to rate the quality of the association between the tag and the multimedia content. If a tag is rated low, the tag may be removed from the hierarchical tag database. If the tag is rated highly, display of the tag in a list of tags becomes more prominent.

摘要： A method and apparatus for enhancing television advertising viewership. Advertisers deliver content demographic and associated data as metadata along with content to a service that is in communication with a large number of multimedia devices. Each device supplies information to the service that tells about the user of the device's content viewing preferences. The service compares user information to content metadata to find content for the user. The service sends the selected content to the multimedia device. Advertisers whose content were downloaded to the multimedia device may be charged a fee for the download. The multimedia device sends statistics regarding the user's action when the user viewed the content to the service. The service charges a fee to advertisers that had their content viewed by the user.

摘要： Techniques for making content available to a DVR are described. Content encoded in any encoding format may be automatically transcoded, on a computer, into an encoding format that a DVR is configured to decode. The transcoded content is automatically sent over a LAN from the computer to the DVR. The DVR receives the transcoded content, stores the transcoded content, and indicates, through a user interface, that the content is available for viewing. A transcoding agent executing on the computer may automatically and periodically transcode, into an encoding format that the DVR is configured to decode, content that is contained in one folder, and move the transcoded content from that folder into another folder. The computer may send, to the DVR, instructions which cause the DVR to request transcoded content that is in the latter folder. The computer sends transcoded content to the DVR in response to such a request.

摘要： According to one aspect, a DVR sends a user's contact information over a network to an interested party. The DVR prompts the user to enter contact information. After the user has supplied the requested contact information to the DVR, the DVR stores the contact information on the DVR's hard disk drive. Upon determining that a television program or advertisement contains a special tag that is associated with an interested party, the DVR displays, to the user, a prompt that invites the DVR user to allow the DVR to send the user's contact information to the interested party. If the user gives permission for the DVR to send the contact information to the interested party, then the DVR sends the contact information to the interested party (e.g., over the Internet).

摘要： An electronic content distribution and exchange system provides authenticated, reliable content downloads and tracking capabilities. Content is distributed to users through the invention's architecture. A user registers for the purchase of content through an interface on a client system or via a Web site. The purchase is for a license to the content, not for the content itself. A list of available content is displayed to the user through the client system or the Web site. The invention's central servers log the purchase of the content into a licnese database. The electronic copy of the song may be already resident on the client system in a hidden area, carouseled in a protected broadcast channel, in the central database ready to be sent out in slices, or resident on a secure server on the Internet. The user accesses content through the client system's user interface where the user plays the content and controls its playback. The invention's service provides an exchange capability similar to stock trading whereby owners offer licenses to various electronic for sale. A seller places his license for a particular content up for a particular content up for sale on the central server where a buyer that is interested in teh license places a bid. When a price is agreed to, the inventio's central server transfers license ownership in the license database to the new owner.

摘要： The invention allows the user to store selected television broadcast programs while the user is simultaneously watching or reviewing another program. A preferred embodiment of the invention accepts television (TV) input streams in a multitude of analog and digital forms. The TV streams are converted to (MPEG) formatted stream for internal transfer and manipulation and are parsed and separated it into video and audio components. The components are stored in temporary buffers. Events are recorded that indicate the type of component that has been found, where it is located, and when it occurred. The program logic is notified that an event has occurred and the data is extracted from the buffers. The parser and event buffer decouple the CPU from having to parse the MPEG stream and from the real time nature of the data streams which allows for slower CPU and bus speeds and translate to lower system costs. The video and audio components are stored on a storage device and when the program is requested for display, the video and audio components are extracted from the storage device and reassembled into an MPEG stream which is sent to a decoder. The decoder converts the MPEG stream into TV output signals and delivers the TV output signals to a TV receiver. User control commands are accepted and sent through the system. These commands affect the flow of said MPEG stream and allow the user to view stored programs with at least the following functions: reverse, fast forward, play, pause, index, fast/slow reverse play, and fast/slow play.
摘要翻译：本发明允许用户存储所选择的电视广播节目，同时用户同时观看或查看另一节目。本发明的优选实施例以多种模拟和数字形式接收电视（TV）输入流。电视流转换为（MPEG）格式的流以进行内部传输和操作，并将其解析并分离成视频和音频组件。组件存储在临时插件中。记录事件，指示已找到的组件的类型，位于何处以及发生的时间。通知程序逻辑已经发生事件并且从缓冲器中提取数据。解析器和事件缓冲器使CPU不必解析MPEG流，并从数据流的实时性质中解耦，从而允许CPU和总线速度更慢，并降低系统成本。视频和音频组件被存储在存储设备上，并且当程序被请求显示时，从存储设备中提取视频和音频组件，并重新组装成发送到解码器的MPEG流。解码器将MPEG流转换为TV输出信号，并将TV输出信号传送到TV接收机。用户控制命令被接受并通过系统发送。这些命令影响所述MPEG流的流动，并且允许用户至少具有以下功能来查看存储的程序：反向，快进，播放，暂停，索引，快/慢反向播放和快/慢播放。

摘要： A closed caption tagging system provides a mechanism for inserting tags into an audio or video television broadcast stream prior to or at the time of transmission. The tags contain command and control information that the receiver translates and acts upon. The receiver receives the broadcast stream and detects and processes the tags within the broadcast stream which is stored on a storage device that resides on the receiver. Program material from the broadcast stream is played back to the viewer from the storage device. The receiver performs the appropriate actions in response to the tags. Tags indicate the start and end points of a program segment. The receiver skips over a program segment during playback in response to the viewer pressing a button on a remote input device or it automatically skips over program segments depending on the viewer's preferences. Program segments such as commercials are automatically replaced by the receiver with new program segments that are selected based on various criteria. Menus, icons, and Web pages are displayed to the viewer based on information included in a tag. The viewer interacts with the menu, icon, or Web page through an input device with the receiver performing the associated actions. If a menu or actions requires that the viewer exits from the playback of the program material, then the receiver saves the exit point and returns the viewer back to the same exit point when the viewer has completed the interaction session. Menus and icons are used to generate leads, generate sales, and schedule the recording of programs. A one-touch recording option is provided. An icon is displayed to the viewer telling the viewer that an advertised program is available for recording at a future time. The viewer presses a single button on an input device causing the receiver to schedule the program for recording.
