Abstract: A method and apparatus for improved digital recording and presentation of broadcast information is disclosed. Received broadcast data, which may include video, audio, private, or other data, relating to one or more particular content programs, is presented from an input section to a buffer and recorded directly onto a storage device without any intelligent parsing, such as indexing, and without any manipulation by intermediate hardware or software functions. Upon normal presentation, statistics may be generated to determine the ideal number of frames to skip, the number of bytes to seek, and the size of data files to read from the storage device during time-shifted presentation. Algorithms and processes are provided to dynamically optimize time-shifted presentation. In this way, data may be captured to the storage device more efficiently and economically, and the time-shifted presentation operations may be performed in a smoother, more nuanced manner with the application of appropriate probabilistic algorithms.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于改进广播信息的数字记录和呈现的方法和装置。 从输入部分向缓冲器呈现与包含视频，音频，专用或其他数据有关的接收的广播数据，并将其直接记录在存储设备上，而无需任何智能解析，例如索引 ，并且不受中间硬件或软件功能的任何操纵。 在正常呈现时，生成统计信息以确定要跳过的理想帧数，要查找的字节数以及在时移显示期间从存储器读取的数据文件的大小。 提供算法和过程来动态优化时移显示。 以这种方式，可以更有效和经济地将数据捕获到存储设备，并且通过应用适当的概率算法，可以以更平滑，更细微的方式来容易地执行时移显示操作。
