Abstract: A machine controls a device configured to record media content in accordance with a recording schedule. The machine detects that the device is scheduled to record first media content. The machine accesses a first vector that describes the first media content and in which a first value of a dimension indicates whether a data track exists in the first media content. The machine detects that the device has access to second media content described by a second vector in which a second value of the dimension indicates whether the data track exists in the second media content. The machine may then determine that the first media content is a version of the second media content, based on a comparison of the first and second vectors. The machine may next determine whether the scheduled recording of the first media content is to be performed or canceled by the device.

Abstract: A media server machine may be configured to provide media content within a datastream. This datastream may be provided to a media device that is configured to present the media content on a display. Also, this datastream may contemporaneously contain an “app-sync indicator” for the media content. The app-sync indicator is a data structure that signals the media device to launch an application on a companion device. By providing the app-sync indicator contemporaneously with the media content in the datastream, the launching of the application on the companion device may be synchronized with the media content. The app-sync indicator may specify the application to be launched. Also, the app-sync indicator may specify supplemental content to be presented by the launched application on the companion device.

Abstract: Methods and systems of associating a user with an interaction via a media gateway are presented. In an example method, a media gateway may identify a user of a user device interacting with the media gateway via a local interface. The media gateway may associate the user with at least one interaction of the user device with the media gateway. The media gateway may also authenticate itself with a server, and provide to the server an indication of the association of the user with the at least one interaction of the user device with the media gateway.
