The disclosure is related to the idea of tracking user navigation, consumption, and/or behavior and applying analytics to help shape future offerings (customized offerings, up-sells, recommendations, etc.) to a user and to provide reporting data to service providers and studios. Methods and systems of providing viewing recommendations for a user are set forth. This involves collecting usage data related to a session of interaction by the user, processing the user data for the session, and providing feedback regarding the session. The sessions involve multiple stages tracking a user's interactions. These include stages such as an inquiry stage, a results stage, a details stage, a selection stage, and a confirmation stage. Usage data is then mined to indicate the content creator of a media asset regardless of the media asset type.

A television guide search query is received from a user. A plurality of suggested search terms are selected. Each of the plurality of suggested search terms is assigned to, and is ranked within, one of a plurality of categories. A number of suggested search terms to be returned to the user, n c , is determined for each of the plurality of categories, n c being equal to a ratio of the number of suggested search terms in the respective category to a total number of suggested search terms multiplied by a total number of displayed search terms. A result set is created by adding, for each of the plurality of categories, the top ranked n c suggested search terms to the result set. The result set is transmitted to the user. A selection of a search term is received from the user and is used to conduct a television guide search.

The present invention relates to a module and method. A content item options module operative for a content item delivery system, is configured to: determine a change in content type of a content item being delivered to a content item receiver apparatus for display on a display apparatus; initiate display of one or more content item identifiers on said display apparatus corresponding to one or more other content items; and respond to selection of a one of said one or more content item identifiers to initiate display of a corresponding other content item on said display apparatus.

The present invention concerns a method for displaying a menu displaying graphical signatures of users and the terminal related. The method comprises a first step of displaying of a first menu presenting a plurality of documents on the screen of a terminal. The first menu is split in a plurality of areas, each document being identified by a graphical identifier placed in an area according to attribute values associated with this document. Commands are inputted by a user for selecting a plurality of documents at the level of the terminal, the plurality of selected documents being reputed to be representative of the user's preference. The method comprise also a subsequent step of displaying in a second menu of a plurality of graphical signatures each one being associated with an user, each graphical signature being formed by a bar of zones each one having a specific graphical distinction, the size of each zone depending on the number of documents selected into a determined area of the first menu, the appearing order of each zones in the bars being the same for all the displayed graphical signature.
摘要:
Described is a technology in which video shots are clustered based upon the location at which the shots were captured. A global energy function is optimized, including a first term that computes clusters so as to be reasonably dense and well connected, to match the possible shots that are captured at a location, e.g., based on similarity scores between pairs of shots. A second term is a temporal prior that encourages subsequent shots to be placed in the same cluster. The shots may be represented as nodes of a minimum spanning tree having edges with weights that are based on the similarity score between the shots represented by their respective nodes. Agglomerative clustering is performed by selecting pairs of available clusters, merging the pairs and keeping the pair with the lowest cost. Clusters are iteratively merged until a stopping criterion or criteria is met (e.g., only a single cluster remains).

Techniques described herein enable searching for multimedia content and for downloading or scheduling the recording of the multimedia content. The multimedia content may have been previously stored on one or more databases. The client device may download or schedule the recording of multimedia content in one step, for example, in one touch. When desired multimedia content is not available, the multimedia content is added to the client device's wish list. When the client device's does not have a wish list, the client device's wish list may be created on the spot. During the scheduling of the recording, a tag associated with the multimedia content is checked to determine whether the multimedia content is live or delayed. When the tag indicates the multimedia content is live or delayed, the client device prompts with a suggestion to add extra time to the end of the recording of the multimedia content.
