摘要:
A method for an interactive media services system (11) is provided for implementing a plurality of media to a user through an interactive media services client device (16). The client device is coupled to a programmable media services server device. The method of the present invention includes implementing an interactive media guide. The interactive media guide is presented by the client device to the user. A system operator is provided with an interface to the programmable media services server. The interface for the system operator provides control options to allow the system operator to configure a plurality of catalogs for the interactive media guide. The interface additionally provides control options to allow the system operator to configure a procedure for dictating the manner in which the plurality of catalogs are stored and distributed to a plurality of the client devices. The system further provides an ability to keep all data referenced by said plurality of catalogs in a central database of a plurality of records such that repetitive data does not exist across more than one of said plurality of catalogs and a plurality of sections within said plurality of catalogs.

A system and method for a communication terminal to manage memory and maintain a current application version for multiple applications are provided. The system and method provide for managing memory in a communication terminal coupled to a server device enabling the communication terminal to provide memory capacity for storing in a memory and executing on the communication terminal a plurality of applications downloaded from the server device. Prior to downloading an application, the communication terminal determines an amount of memory capacity required by an application client to be downloaded from the server device. The communication terminal then attempts to allocate the memory capacity. If memory cannot be allocated from the system heap, the communication terminal purges data contained in the memory according to a dynamic list of priorities to create memory capacity in the memory for the application client. Once sufficient memory capacity has been created, it is allocated to the application client, and the application client is downloaded to the communication terminal.

The present invention provides a system for providing alternative services in a television system. In one implementation, a subscriber is provided an alternative service upon attempting to access an unauthorized service, thereby providing a framework for efficient control of conditional access and enhanced services. In addition, in one implementation, user device limitations or variations are handled conveniently through the same multi-purpose system for providing alternative services.
