    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: Systems and methods for skipping advertisements while playing back a video that includes at least one advertisement are provided. When a user reaches the advertisement, the user may select to skip the advertisement. In response to the skip instruction, the interactive media guidance application may identify and display substitute media instead of the advertisement. The substitute media may be an image, a video frame, a video clip, a graphic, or any other suitable media. The interactive media guidance application may identify the substitute media to display from advertisement data associated with the skipped advertisement. The substitute media may be displayed for a designated length of time (e.g., less than the time it would take to fast forward past the advertisement). Once the time for displaying the substitute media has lapsed, the interactive media guidance application may resume playback of the video following the end of the advertisement.

    Abstract translation: 提供了在播放包括至少一个广告的视频时跳过广告的系统和方法。 当用户到达广告时，用户可以选择跳过广告。 响应于跳过指令，交互式媒体引导应用可以识别和显示替代媒体而不是广告。 替代媒体可以是图像，视频帧，视频剪辑，图形或任何其它合适的媒体。 交互式媒体引导应用可以识别从与跳过的广告相关联的广告数据显示的替代媒体。 替代介质可以显示指定的时间长度（例如，小于快速通过广告的时间）。 一旦显示替代媒体的时间已经过去，交互式媒体指导应用程序可以在广告结束之后恢复播放视频。

    Abstract: An interactive television program guide system for determining user input values for demographic categories is provided. The system includes user television equipment having a receiver for receiving program guide information for the interactive television program guide, a user input receiver for receiving user input from user interface, a microprocessor which utilizes the user input received to determine user values for demographic categories, and memory for storing the user values determined. In one illustrative use of the system for targeting advertisements the receiver also receives advertisements, where the advertisements have preselected values for specified demographic categories. The user television equipment, preferably using a microprocessor, compares the preselected values for the specified demographic categories associated with the advertisements with values of corresponding demographic categories stored in memory to determine which advertisements should be displayed.

    Abstract: An e-mail notification system is provided. The e-mail notification system has a remote e-mail service system and at least one local client device. The e-mail service system is connected to the local client device via a primary communications link, and a secondary relatively low-bandwidth continuous communications link. The primary communications link is preferably bidirectional and has a relatively high bandwidth. Because such links are relatively costly, the primary communications link is not used continuously. The secondary communications link is preferably a low cost unidirectional continuous link. The e-mail service system receives e-mail messages for a user and sends e-mail notifications over the secondary communications link. The local client device generates an appropriate indicator whenever an e-mail notification is received. The local client device may automatically retrieve e-mail messages for the user from the remote e-mail service system via the primary communications link or may provide the user with the opportunity to manually obtain e-mail messages from the remote e-mail service system over the primary communications link.

    Abstract translation: 提供电子邮件通知系统。 电子邮件通知系统具有远程电子邮件服务系统和至少一个本地客户端设备。 电子邮件服务系统通过主要通信链路和次要相对低带宽的连续通信链路连接到本地客户端设备。 主要通信链路优选地是双向的并且具有相对高的带宽。 因为这样的链路相对昂贵，主要的通信链路不被连续使用。 次要通信链路优选地是低成本的单向连续链路。 电子邮件服务系统接收用户的电子邮件消息，并通过辅助通信链路发送电子邮件通知。 每当接收到电子邮件通知时，本地客户端设备都会生成适当的指示符。 本地客户端设备可以经由主要通信链路自动从远程电子邮件服务系统检索用户的电子邮件消息，或者可以向用户提供从远程电子邮件服务系统手动获取电子邮件消息的机会 通过主要通信链路。
