    Abstract: A hybrid passive-interactive program guide is generated by combining the features of an interactive program guide with the passive video portion of a passive program guide. The interactive guide may replace passive listings with interactive listings, replace passive features with interactive features, provide supplemental advertisements, or replace passive tagging information with interactive tagging information. Users may be provided with an opportunity to purchase a program or product being advertised, to view listings for segments aired in the video portion of the passive guide, to schedule reminders for listings or video segments that are displayed by the passive guide, or to schedule video segments and related information for recording.

    Abstract: The present invention allows control of the presentation of advertisements that are associated with television networks, channels, and programs, and enables a single broadcasting of each advertisement associated with a network to be made to numerous television systems in parallel. The presentation of advertisements that are associated with television networks, channels, and programs is controlled in the present invention by determining at television viewer equipment whether the television networks, channels, or programs with which the advertisements are associated are unavailable to the television viewer or are undesirable to the television viewer. Once this determination has been made, the television viewer equipment then presents the advertisements, or selects and presents suitable alternative advertisements.

    Abstract translation: 本发明允许控制与电视网络，频道和节目相关联的广告的呈现，并且使与网络相关联的每个广告的单个广播能够并行地制作到许多电视系统。 在电视观看设备中，通过在电视观众设备判断广告关联的电视网络，频道或节目对于电视观看者是不可用的，在本发明中控制与电视网络，频道和节目相关联的广告的呈现 不利于电视观众。 一旦做出了这个确定，电视观看器设备就会呈现广告，或选择和呈现合适的替代广告。

    Abstract: A system is provided in which an interactive television program guide is implemented on user television equipment such as a set-top box. The program guide provides an operator showcase in the form of one or more operator showcase television listings screens, each of which contains a set of television listings information. The sets of television listings information are generated by querying a database of television listings data in a database in the set-top box. Each database query is based on content criteria previously selected by the cable system operator or other service provider. The service provider is also able to define the format with which the television listings information is displayed in the television listings screens. A title and logos may also be selected by the service provider for each screen. The operator showcase television listings screens may therefore by customized and branded by the service provider. The user may access multiple operator showcase television listings screens using a centralized operator showcase menu.

    Abstract translation: 提供了一种系统，其中在诸如机顶盒的用户电视设备上实现交互式电视节目指南。 节目指南以一个或多个运营商展示电视列表屏幕的形式提供运营商展示，每个屏幕包含一组电视列表信息。 通过在机顶盒的数据库中查询电视列表数据的数据库来生成电视列表信息。 每个数据库查询基于先前由有线系统运营商或其他服务提供商选择的内容标准。 服务提供商还能够定义在电视列表屏幕中显示电视列表信息的格式。 服务提供商也可以为每个屏幕选择一个标题和标志。 因此，运营商展示电视列表屏幕可以由服务提供商定制和品牌化。 用户可以使用集中操作员展示菜单访问多个操作员展示电视列表屏幕。

    Abstract: An interactive television program guide system is provided in which a viewer may direct a television to simultaneously display a selected television program, a program guide display, and a program guide video window. A viewer may use the program guide video window to browse video of programs shown on the program guide display while continuing to view a previously selected program in the background. The program guide display may display video on demand (VOD) programs, programs to be broadcast in the future, and programs currently being broadcast on other channels. The viewer may browse through programs on the program guide display using a variety of keys on a remote control unit. The viewer may direct the program guide to swap audio and video signals back and forth between programs shown in the video window and programs shown on the background screen.

    Abstract: A program guide system is provided in which an interactive television program guide that is implemented at least partially on user television equipment receives program listings data and real-time data such as sports scores, news data, and the like. The real-time data may be stored in a database maintained by the program guide, so that the program guide may access the stored real-time data at a later time. Updated program listings information may be provided to the program guide as part of the data stream in which the real-time data is provided. Unique keys may be generated for the program listings data and real-time data associated with each live event. The keys may be compared at the program guide to determine which program listings correspond to which items of real-time data. A controllable ticker may be displayed on top of a television program on the user television equipment. The controllable ticker may be sponsored. Different types of real-time data may be assigned different expiration times. When data has expired it may be removed from the database.

    Abstract translation: 提供了一种节目指南系统，其中至少部分地在用户电视设备上实现的交互式电视节目指南接收节目列表数据和实时数据，例如体育比分，新闻数据等。 实时数据可以存储在由节目指南维护的数据库中，使得节目指南可以稍后访问存储的实时数据。 更新的节目列表信息可以作为提供实时数据的数据流的一部分提供给节目指南。 可以为节目列表数据和与每个实况事件相关联的实时数据生成唯一的密钥。 可以在节目指南处对密钥进行比较，以确定哪些节目列表对应于哪个实时数据项。 可以在用户电视设备上的电视节目的顶部显示可控股票。 可以赞助可控股票代码。 不同类型的实时数据可能被分配不同的到期时间。 数据到期时，可能会从数据库中删除。
