    Abstract: The present system and method is particularly useful for remotely controlling a device having one or more menus via a remote touch interface having at least an unstructured primary input area. A user can provide inputs to a touch interface without needing to view the interface and yet still achieve the desired response from the remotely controlled device. The primary input area of the touch interface may or may not have a background display, such as on a touch screen, but the primary input area of the touch interface should be unstructured and should not have independently selectable items, buttons, icons or anything of the like. Since the touch interface is unstructured, the user does not have to identify any selectable buttons. Instead the user can input a gesture into the interface and watch the remotely controlled device respond. The system does not provide any other visual confirmation.

    Abstract translation: 本系统和方法特别适用于通过至少具有非结构化主输入区域的远程触摸界面远程控制具有一个或多个菜单的设备。 用户可以向触摸界面提供输入,而不需要观看界面,而仍然实现来自遥控设备的所需响应。 触摸界面的主要输入区域可以具有或不具有背景显示,诸如在触摸屏上,但是触摸界面的主要输入区域应该是非结构化的,并且不应该具有独立的可选项目,按钮,图标或任何东西 类似。 由于触摸界面是非结构化的,所以用户不需要识别任何可选按钮。 相反,用户可以在界面中输入手势并观看远程受控设备的响应。 系统不提供任何其他视觉确认。

    Abstract: Improved techniques for assigning ratings to media assets are disclosed. A rating for a media asset collection can, for example, be determined by examining the ratings of all user-rated media assets in that media asset collection. Additionally or alternately, a rating for media assets in a group of media assets can, for example, be determined by examining the rating of the group of media assets.

    Abstract: Techniques for interacting with an online media store to obtain a media asset bundle, such as a digital boxset, are disclosed. These techniques involve, for instance, browsing for a media asset bundle that includes at least one non-playable media asset, purchasing the media asset bundle, obtaining the media assets contained in the media asset bundle, determining if a presentation request has been made for a media asset in the media asset bundle, and presenting the requested media asset. Further, these techniques involve playing the media assets in a media asset bundle by selecting a media asset in the media asset bundle, determining whether the media asset is playable or non-playable, presenting the media asset using an appropriate media asset viewer if it is playable, not playing (skipping) the media asset if it is non-playable, and selecting/playing other media assets in the media asset bundle until no more media assets are available to be played.
