    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically generating a playlist of series assets and systems and methods for grouping assets of a playlist in clusters are provided. In one embodiment, series assets may automatically be included into a playlist for that series. In another embodiment, an interactive media guidance application may group assets in clusters based on one or more user selected parameters or may group assets in cluster based on automatically determined parameters. In yet another embodiment, the interactive media guidance application may group assets in clusters and display at least one identifier in connection with each cluster to indicate a basis for forming the cluster. The identifier may be a key word or catch phrase that succinctly identifies a trait or characteristic of assets in a particular cluster associated with the identifier.

    Abstract: An enhanced radio system is disclosed that provides for the capture and playback of one or more radio stations. The user may tune to a station, or scan through stations, rewind to hear what was missed (even while the system is turned off), and fast-forward through undesired content. The system allows a user to rate content, and to be notified when that content is being played on any station. The system may recognize content as it is broadcast and may jump to desirable content, save a copy of desirable content, or skip over undesirable content. The system may make radio station recommendations. The system may support multiple sets of configuration information to allow its use by multiple listeners and in multiple locations. The system allows the authorized user to respond easily to radio content, download and upload audio content, and send radio content to another user. The system may allow a user to download information about content that the user wishes to record a copy of. The system may provide other radio related and radio content related information. The system may provide a karaoke mode. The system may also allow the user to integrate a telephone with the radio. The system may report usage information to a collection facility.

    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。
