    摘要: A method and system for monitoring the quality of the content is provided. The method and system may identify, in real time, whether the quality of the content has fallen below a predetermined threshold. Once the quality of the content has fallen below a predetermined threshold, the system may identify other delivery mechanisms (e.g., connectivity options and/or other sources) to deliver the content at a lower constant bitrate. Subsequently, the system may check for higher quality content and provide the user with options to switch to the other source. Accordingly, the method and system identifies the available video quality options for a specific content item, which may be provided by a plurality of different content sources, and provides the user with the ability to switch to another content source with minimal user input.

    摘要: Systems and methods enable the use of biometric information to access personalized services provided by a service provider, but are not so limited. A disclosed system operates to receive biometric information in the form of fingerprint detection data from a fingerprint detection sensor and use fingerprint mapping parameters to provide personalizations to an associated user. A disclosed method operates to use fingerprint detection data associated with a detection of a user fingerprint by a fingerprint detection sensor and provide personalizations based on the fingerprint detection data.

    摘要: Automatic population of a programming guide mosaic screen is provided. Attributes relating to a user or group of users may be collected and utilized to identify one or more recommended content items relevant to the user. A visual display of the recommended content may comprise a combination of content currently airing on a channel selected by the user as a favorite channel, content rated highly by the user and/or by other users, content matching a commonly watched genre by the user, content associated with keyword searches, etc. Factors utilized to determine the type of content to automatically include in the programming guide mosaic screen may be dynamically updated according to changes in video viewing activity, received feedback, content purchases, or changes made to the user's preference data.

    摘要: User interface modules for providing additional interactive content via dynamic URL insertion within video applications may be provided. Available content items may be analyzed and prescreened to identify various user interface modules that may be used to provide indication of availability of additional interactive content. When a user selects to view a content item, the system may further perform a search to identify newer additional content associated with the requested content item and update the user interface modules, if necessary. The user interface modules may be presented to allow the user to access the associated additional content.
