Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for cut-off reduction when recording media distributed at imprecise intervals.SOLUTION: A media recording system may be provided. The recording system may include features for reducing recording cut-off of a particular media event due to changes in start time and end time of what is scheduled to be recorded. The recording system may provide a user with an opportunity to select a program by e.g. selecting a listing, to have that program automatically recorded at a scheduled time for presentation to viewers. Changes in the schedule of programs may be compensated manually or automatically when the recording system receives information about actual or predicted time changes. In a manual mode, a user may adjust start time or end time based on time change information that is displayed.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an interactive television program guide system with a digital storage.SOLUTION: A program guide allows a user to define "super-programs" for playback of a sequence of stored programs or program segments. The program guide also gives a user the ability to store information associated with recorded programs in a directory in the digital storage device, providing easy access to program information. The program guide may also provide a global media library for indicating the programs stored on removable storage media used with the program guide. The program guide may also allow a user to manage and maintain a user media library for the user to do the same. Non-time-sensitive data associated with recorded programs may be stored in a way that allows the user to interact with the data on playback as if the program were being originally aired.

Abstract translation: 要解决的问题：提供具有数字存储器的交互式电视节目指南系统。解决方案：节目指南允许用户定义用于播放所存储的节目或节目片段序列的“超级节目”。 节目指南还使用户能够将与记录节目相关联的信息存储在数字存储设备中的目录中，从而提供对节目信息的容易访问。 节目指南还可以提供用于指示存储在与节目指南一起使用的可移动存储媒体上的节目的全局媒体库。 程序指南还可以允许用户管理和维护用户媒体库，以使用户执行相同的操作。 与记录的节目相关联的非时间敏感数据可以以允许用户在播放时与数据进行交互的方式来存储，就好像该节目最初被播放一样。

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an interactive television program guide system with digital storage. SOLUTION: A program guide gives users the ability to store information associated with recorded programs in a directory in the digital storage device thereby providing easy access to program information. The program guide may also provide a global media library for indicating the programs stored on removable storage media used with the program guide. The guide may also allow the user to manage and maintain a user media library to do the same. Non-time-sensitive data associated with recorded programs may be stored in a way that allows the user to interact with the data on playback as when the program has been originally aired. The program guide also allows the user to define "super-programs" for playback of a sequence of stored programs or program segments. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

解决方案：程序指南使用户能够将与记录程序相关联的信息存储在数字存储设备的目录中，从而提供对程序信息的容易访问。 节目指南还可以提供用于指示存储在与节目指南一起使用的可移动存储媒体上的节目的全局媒体库。 该指南还可以允许用户管理和维护用户媒体库以进行相同操作。 与记录的节目相关联的非时间敏感数据可以以允许用户与播放时的数据进行交互的方式来存储，如同该节目最初被播放时一样。 节目指南还允许用户定义用于播放所存储的节目或节目片段序列的“超级节目”。 版权所有（C）2010，JPO＆INPIT

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide interactive media systems and methods for substituting pause-time content in place of a medium that has been paused.
SOLUTION: A user can pause media such as real-time media, video-on-demand media, near video-on-demand media, or recorded media. When the user pauses real-time media or near video-on-demand media, the interactive media application can store the media. The interactive media application can also provide the user with the ability to rewind, resume play of, and fast-forward the media. The pause-time content can be audio or video media and may be an advertisement, trivia, program summaries or any other suitable pause-time content.
