    摘要: Automatic rating optimization is described. In an embodiment, ratings of a program can be received from one or more rating sources. Based on these ratings, a representation of a content selection mechanism can be sent to potential consumers of the content. Access events for the content can be counted over a duration of time so a determination can be made regarding how the ratings provided by each of the rating sources affect popularity of the content. A weight accorded to ratings received from each of the rating sources can be adjusted based on the determination. Profiles can be established for consumers and/or rating sources.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for conserving bandwidth within a network based on two or more different service levels. In an exemplary embodiment, programming that is simulcast on two or more program channels is mapped to one physical channel during periods when the programming is scheduled at only one service level (e.g., standard definition), thereby conserving bandwidth on the network that would otherwise be consumed by the simultaneous broadcast on the two or more channels. When the programming service level becomes heterogeneous across the channels (e.g., SD and HD simulcast), physical channel(s) supporting the HD content are provided within a local service area only “on-demand” using, for example, a switched digital channel allocation. Accordingly, no HD broadcast occurs within a given area until at least one user requests it, thereby further conserving network bandwidth.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus to detect people are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a receiver to obtain respective light information for a plurality of segments of an image, each of the segments corresponding to a portion of a media exposure environment; a pulse identifier to detect a first human pulse pattern in the light information associated with a first one of the segments; and a grouper to determine whether the light information associated with a threshold amount of the segments proximate the first one of the segments includes the first human pulse pattern identified in the first one of the segments, and to generate a presence indication when the light information associated with the threshold amount of the segments proximate the first segment includes the first human pulse pattern.

    摘要: A system for managing a plurality of child profiles is provided that allows parents of children to capture a child's life events in media files, which are automatically imported into a life album for each child. The system also generates different views for the child's life album based upon both user-generated information and computer-generated information, and allows users to identify favorite media files for review using other tree structures. The system could automatically generate a face transformation video from life album media files, and could automatically generate expert queries from common issues gleaned from community discussions that are summarized and exported to experts for review.
