    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that allow a user to register for selective notifications of one or more events that may occur on a channel in a media stream. When a registered event occurs, the system and method generates an event notification, which is delivered to the remotely-located media player. In response to the event notification, the media player can be automatically enabled and/or switched to the appropriate channel. Alternatively, the system and method may notify the user of the event, and give the user the option of enabling and/or switching the media player to the channel corresponding to the event. The system and method can be implemented to facilitate monitoring for a variety of different types. In each of these various types the user is able to select the events for which monitoring and notification will be provided.

    Abstract: A computing device is programmed to receive one or more parameters providing characteristics of media data. The computing device compares the parameters with characteristics of segments of a first item of media content. Based on the comparison, the computing device selects segments to be included in a second item of media content. The selected segments are assembled in a sequence based on indexes associated with the respective segments.

    Abstract: A media device for content-based highlight handling of television programming may be provided. Criteria of interest corresponding to user input may be processed. Idle tuner(s) not being used to receive any television channels for presentation or recording may be identified. A television channel identified based at least in part on the criteria of interest may be tuned to with an idle tuner. Content received at the media device may be processed. Update data associated with a subject matter of the content may be received separately from the television channel. A portion of the content that corresponds to the criteria may be identified based at least in part on the criteria of interest and the update data. A portion of a television program may be recorded and/or marked. The portion of the television program may correspond to the portion of the content identified based at least in part on the criteria.

    Abstract: A receiving device performs an action that results in a corrective measure being taken to address a picture quality issue detected in real time in the frames currently being displayed on a television or other device. The receiving device or a remote system compares indications of video frames currently being displayed to stored video frames for that program to detect macroblocking or a frozen video frame. The macroblocking or a frozen video frame may also or instead be detected by image analysis of the frames currently being displayed. If macroblocking or a frozen video frame is detected in the frames currently being displayed, the set-top box may switch to an alternative video source, change to a standard definition channel broadcasting the same video program or perform other corrective actions.

    Abstract translation: 接收装置执行导致采取纠正措施的动作,以解决在当前正在电视或其他设备上显示的帧中实时检测到的图像质量问题。 接收设备或远程系统将当前正在显示的视频帧的指示与该程序的存储的视频帧进行比较以检测宏块化或冻结的视频帧。 宏块化或冻结视频帧也可以或者替代地通过对当前显示的帧进行图像分析来检测。 如果在当前显示的帧中检测到宏块化或冻结视频帧,则机顶盒可以切换到替代视频源,改变为广播相同视频节目的标准清晰度频道或执行其他校正动作。
