Abstract: A “New To Me” feature is provided for an interactive media guidance system implemented as a home network having multiple user equipment devices. Functionally speaking, the “New To Me” feature of the interactive media guidance system identifies programs or advertisements that have been previously viewed by an individual user or a user equipment device within the home network, or even by a household. The interactive media guidance system may use the information gathered regarding the programs and/or advertisements that have already been seen by a user, device or household to, for example, remove the programs or advertisements from future displays of recommendations, search results or listings of available programming.

Abstract: An archive model can be used for managing networked storage of recorded content, such as network DVR (digital video recorder) content. Content may be initially recorded to an active storage device, with individual duplicate copies recorded for each requesting user, and subsequently archived to an archive storage device. For playback, the content can be reconstituted into the active storage device prior to delivery to the requesting user. Content can be predictively reconstituted in anticipation of user needs, and the reconstitution capacity of the system can be dynamically reallocated for load balancing.

Abstract translation: 存档模型可用于管理记录内容的网络存储，如网络DVR（数字录像机）内容。 可以将内容最初记录到活动存储设备，其中为每个请求用户记录单独的副本，并随后归档到归档存储设备。 对于播放，可以在传送到请求用户之前将内容重新配置到活动存储设备中。 内容可以根据用户需求进行预测性重构，并且可以动态地重新分配系统的重构容量以进行负载平衡。

Abstract: A network digital video recording (nDVR) system may take into account the capabilities of a requesting user's local DVR when managing network recordings. The user's local DVR may include a temporary buffer that is normally used to record what the DVR is tuned to, and may be used for local trickplay functionality such as pausing live television. The nDVR features described herein may track the usage of the user's temporary DVR buffer, and use that in determining what to stream in response to a user's playback request. The nDVR system can also determine if the user's local DVR has an unused tuner at a time of a program recording, and can instruct the user's local DVR to also tune to the program.

Abstract translation: 网络数字视频记录（nDVR）系统可以在管理网络记录时考虑请求用户的本地DVR的能力。 用户的本地DVR可以包括通常用于记录DVR调谐到的临时缓冲器，并且可以用于本地特技播放功能，例如暂停直播电视。 本文描述的nDVR特征可以跟踪用户的临时DVR缓冲器的使用情况，并且在确定响应于用户的回放请求时要流式传输时使用它。 nDVR系统还可以在程序记录时确定用户的本地DVR是否具有未使用的调谐器，并且可以指示用户的本地DVR也调谐到节目。

Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting content for a media library using an interactive media guidance application are provided. The user may search for content to select by entering search terms in a search page and selecting content from search results in a search results page. The user may also select content by directly entering identification for the content, selecting content from a message suggesting content, or by selecting content from interactive media guidance application pages. The content may include content that is currently available and bookmarks for content that is not yet available. For such bookmarks, when the content becomes available, the interactive media guidance application may notify the user and/or add the actual content to the media library. The user may access the media library from any user device and perform any suitable operation with the content of the media library (e.g., download content to a user device or playback content).

Abstract translation: 提供了使用交互式媒体引导应用为媒体库选择内容的系统和方法。 用户可以通过在搜索页面中输入搜索词并从搜索结果页面中的搜索结果中选择内容来搜索要选择的内容。 用户还可以通过直接输入内容的标识，从建议内容的消息中选择内容，或通过从交互式媒体引导应用页面选择内容来选择内容。 该内容可以包括当前可用的内容和尚不可用的内容的书签。 对于这样的书签，当内容变得可用时，交互式媒体指导应用可以通知用户和/或将实际内容添加到媒体库。 用户可以从任何用户设备访问媒体库，并利用媒体库的内容执行任何合适的操作（例如，下载内容到用户设备或回放内容）。

Abstract: When selecting a television program for recording, a user may configure the delivery of the selected television program and associated data and interactive applications to different user equipment devices in a home network, which may have different capabilities. Because the user equipment devices in the home network may have different capabilities, the user may wish to deliver different types and amount of content, different amounts of data, and different versions of interactive applications to the user equipment devices in the home network.

Abstract: An interactive television system is provided in which a user may perform playback control functions while watching a broadcast television program. When the user requests such a function, a television distribution facility may transmit an interactive streaming media version of the program to the user's equipment. The user equipment switches the broadcast television program with the interactive streaming media version. The interactive streaming media version, once displayed on the given user's user equipment, may be controlled by the user with playback control functions.
