    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）。

    Abstract: An interactive television system is provided in which an interactive television application is used to support network-based or local personal video recorder capabilities. A user may use this application to view lists of program listings. The user may select a program listing of interest. The interactive television application may allow the user to set a reminder for the selected program at the scheduled broadcast time. This application may also allow the user to set a reminder for the selected program at a later time at which the program is not scheduled to be broadcast. The user may be provided with a reminder at this later time. In response, the user may direct the network-based or local personal video recorder to play back the program or may defer the reminder again. The interactive television application may collect information on program usage and popularity to determine how long to retain certain programming.

    Abstract: A system is provided in which an interactive television program guide application and non-program-guide applications are at least partially implemented on user television equipment. A program guide program application interface is provided that is used to maintain a consistent user interface between the program guide application and the non-program-guide applications. Non-program-guide applications may be launched by the program guide application. The user may select certain non-program-guide applications as favorites and may set parental controls for certain non-program-guide applications. The program guide application may run in the background while a non-program-guide application operates. While the non-program-guide application operates, the program guide may check for events that require immediate attention. When such an event is detected, operation of the non-program-guide application may be suspended and the user may be asked whether the detected event should take place or whether operation of the non-program-guide application should be resumed. The applications may be located at a remote location such as on a server at a cable system headend or on a server on the Internet. The program application interface may perform authentication and access rights determination functions. Reminders may be set for the content of non-program-guide applications.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for a video scan are provided. The scan may be dynamically interactive and a function of characteristics of the programs in the scan (e.g., commercial breaks or the end of a program approaching) The scan may simultaneously display multiple scan windows for a plurality of programs, for example in a scan wizard. The scan wizard allows the user to simultaneously view a scan window and an information panel, select criteria for the scan from a criteria panel, and control the scan using a scan control panel. The scan may allow the user to record a program displayed in the scan without interrupting the scan (e.g., by using an additional tuner). The scan may display, within the scan interface, trick-play functions for appropriate scanned programs (e.g., recorded, cached and on-demand programs). The user may select and perform trick-play functions for a scanned program without exiting the scan mode.

    Abstract translation: 提供了视频扫描的系统和方法。 扫描可以是动态交互的，并且扫描中的程序的特征（例如，商业中断或程序结束）的扫描可以同时显示多个程序的多个扫描窗口，例如在扫描向导中 。 扫描向导允许用户同时查看扫描窗口和信息面板，从标准面板中选择扫描的标准，并使用扫描控制面板控制扫描。 扫描可以允许用户记录在扫描中显示的程序而不中断扫描（例如，通过使用另外的调谐器）。 扫描可以在扫描界面内显示用于适当扫描程序（例如，记录，缓存和按需程序）的特技播放功能。 用户可以选择并执行扫描程序的特技播放功能而不退出扫描模式。

    Abstract: A system is provided in which an interactive television program guide is implemented on user television equipment. Potentially objectionable material such as the titles and descriptions of adult programs may be blocked. When adult program listing blocking is invoked, the program guide replaces adult program listings with unobjectionable material such as a blank region, a generic unobjectionable program listing, or an unobjectionable title based on the channel being blocked. The user may invoke blocking of titles, descriptions, or both titles or descriptions. Blocking may be based on the rating of the program listings. Access may be provided to blocked program listings by entering a parental control code. The user may temporarily disable adult program listing blocking. The user may also set parental control locks for any type of potentially objectionable programming and may temporarily disable such locks.

    Abstract translation: 提供了一种在用户电视设备上实现交互式电视节目指南的系统。 可能会阻止潜在令人反感的材料，如成人节目的标题和描述。 当调用成人节目列表屏蔽时，节目指南以无限制的材料（例如空白区域，通用无人值守节目列表）或基于被阻止的频道的无效标题替代成人节目列表。 用户可以调用标题，描述或标题或描述两者的封锁。 阻止可能是基于计划列表的评级。 可以通过输入家长控制代码将访问权限提供给阻止的程序列表。 用户可能暂时禁用成人节目列表阻止。 用户还可以为任何类型的潜在令人讨厌的编程设置家长控制锁，并且可以临时禁用这种锁。
