Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer readable-media for adaptive content rendition, the method comprising receiving media content for playback to a user, adapting the media content for playback on a first device in the user's first location, receiving a notification when the user changes to a second location, adapting the media content for playback on a second device in the second location, and transitioning media content playback from the first device to second device. One aspect conserves energy by optionally turning off the first device after transitioning to the second device. Another aspect includes playback devices that are “dumb devices” which receive media content already prepared for playback, “smart devices” which receive media content in a less than ready form and prepare the media content for playback, or hybrid smart and dumb devices. A single device may be substituted by a plurality of devices. Adapting the media content for playback is based on a user profile storing user preferences and/or usage history in one aspect.

Abstract translation: 本文公开了用于自适应内容再现的系统，方法和计算机可读介质，所述方法包括：接收用于播放的用户的媒体内容，使所述媒体内容适应于所述用户的第一位置中的第一设备上的播放， 用户改变到第二位置，使媒体内容适应在第二位置中的第二设备上播放，以及将媒体内容从第一设备重播转换到第二设备。 通过在转换到第二设备之后可选地关闭第一设备来节省能量。 另一方面包括作为接收已经准备好重放的媒体内容的“哑设备”的回放设备，以较不准备的形式接收媒体内容并准备用于回放的媒体内容的智能设备，或混合智能和哑设备。 单个设备可以由多个设备代替。 适应媒体内容进行播放是基于在一个方面中存储用户偏好和/或使用历史的用户简档。

Abstract: A method and system for controlling video input media is described. The method includes receiving video media via a video media input device. The video media input device is communicatively coupled with and operable in conjunction with the electronic device. The method further includes monitoring a data path within the electronic device associated with the video media. The monitoring is performed by a compliance mechanism communicatively coupled with and operable in conjunction with the electronic device. The method further includes preventing the video media from reaching a usage mechanism via the data path, the usage mechanism communicatively coupled with the electronic device. The usage mechanism is able to create an environment in which the video media can be used in an unauthorized manner. The preventing performed by the compliance mechanism is done when usage of the video media with the usage mechanism violates a usage restriction applicable to the video media.

Abstract: A web server presents a web page to a user. The web page dynamically presents information corresponding to a digital video recorder (DVR) associated with the user. The web server accepts input information to control the DVR. A delayed-job server accepts input from the web server and stores a job entry corresponding to the input in a message queue. The delayed-job server processes the job entry from the message queue and creates a function request representative of the web server input. An access server accepts the function request from the delayed-job server and bi-directionally communicates messages with the DVR. The access server communicates a response to the function request back to the delayed-job server. The delayed-job server communicates data from the response to the web server, wherein the web server is not blocked while waiting for the response from the delayed-job server.

Abstract: A DVR sends, over the Internet, to a server, information that indicates a set of programs. The information also may indicate a ranking of the programs in the set relative to each other. In response to receiving the information from the DVR, the server determines a “to do” list of programs that the DVR should record as those programs are broadcasted in the future. The “to do” list indicates recording times and channels for each program. The server sends the “to do” list back to the DVR over the Internet. The DVR receives the “to do” list over the Internet and stores the “to do” list. As the programs on the “to do” list are broadcasted, the DVR automatically records those programs at the list-specified times and on the list-specified channels. The DVR stores those programs on the DVR's hard disk drive for later viewing by the DVR user.

Abstract translation: DVR通过因特网向服务器发送指示一组程序的信息。 该信息还可以指示相对于彼此的集合中的节目的排名。 响应于从DVR接收到的信息，服务器确定DVR应该记录的节目列表，因为这些节目将来被广播。 “待办事项”列表表示每个节目的录制时间和频道。 服务器通过互联网将“待办事项”列表发回DVR。 DVR通过互联网收到“待办事项”列表，并存储“待办事项”列表。 随着“待办事项”列表中的节目被广播，DVR会自动将这些节目记录在列表指定的时间和列表指定的频道上。 DVR将这些程序存储在DVR的硬盘驱动器上，供DVR用户随后查看。

Abstract: PVR functionality is enabled on a media player of a placeshifting system, which allows a user to record media programs from locations that are physically remote from a source of the media programs. The media player may receive program schedule information and present the program schedule information to the user. Based on user input, the media player identifies a media program and associated schedule information. When the media program is scheduled to play, the placeshifting device directs a media recording device to receive the media program and to store the program. The placeshifting device may digitize, transcode, and/or transrate the media program, if necessary, and transmit the media program to the remote device for playback.

Abstract translation: 在位置移动系统的媒体播放器上启用PVR功能，这允许用户从物理上远离媒体节目来源的位置记录媒体节目。 媒体播放器可以接收节目安排信息并向用户呈现节目安排信息。 基于用户输入，媒体播放器识别媒体节目和相关的节目信息。 当媒体节目被安排播放时，播放装置指示媒体记录装置接收媒体节目并存储节目。 如果需要，放置设备可以数字化，转码和/或转换媒体节目，并将媒体节目传送到远程设备进行播放。
