    Abstract: Systems and methods for recording a program are provided. Alternate transmissions of a program with a “when convenient” recording priority may be recorded in whole or in portions whenever recording does not interfere with other uses of the user's equipment. When the recording device is out of space to record programs, recorded programs having a “when convenient” deletion priority may be deleted and scheduled for re-recording at a later time.

    Abstract: A program guide system is provided in which an interactive television program guide that is implemented at least partially on user television equipment receives program listings data and real-time data such as sports scores, news data, and the like. The real-time data may be stored in a database maintained by the program guide, so that the program guide may access the stored real-time data at a later time. Updated program listings information may be provided to the program guide as part of the data stream in which the real-time data is provided. Unique keys may be generated for the program listings data and real-time data associated with each live event. The keys may be compared at the program guide to determine which program listings correspond to which items of real-time data. A controllable ticker may be displayed on top of a television program on the user television equipment. The controllable ticker may be sponsored. Different types of real-time data may be assigned different expiration times. When data has expired it may be removed from the database.

    Abstract: Interactive media systems and methods are provided for substituting pause-time content in place of media that has been paused. The user may pause media such as real-time media, video-on-demand media, near video-on-demand, or recorded media. If the user pauses real-time media or near video-on-demand media, the interactive media application may store the media. The interactive media application may also provide the user with the ability to rewind, resume play of, and fast-forward the media. The pause-time content may be audio or video media and may be an advertisement, trivia, program summaries or any other suitable pause-time content. The interactive media application may provide customized pause-time content specific to the user or specific to the media paused by using media data associated with the media. The interactive media application may also prevent the user from accessing features (e.g., fast-forward) of the system.

    Abstract translation: 提供交互式媒体系统和方法代替暂停时内容代替暂停的媒体。 用户可以暂停诸如实时媒体,视频点播媒体,靠近视频点播或记录媒体的媒体。 如果用户暂停实时媒体或靠近视频点播媒体,则交互式媒体应用可以存储媒体。 交互式媒体应用程序还可以向用户提供倒带,恢复播放和快进媒体的能力。 暂停时间内容可以是音频或视频媒体,并且可以是广告,琐事,节目摘要或任何其他合适的暂停时间内容。 交互式媒体应用可以通过使用与媒体相关联的媒体数据来提供特定于用户的定制的暂停时间内容或特定于暂停的媒体。 交互式媒体应用还可以防止用户访问系统的特征(例如,快进)。
