    Abstract: An interactive television system is provided in which a user can use an interactive television application to establish time-based settings. The user may set television program reminders, advance-order pay-per-view programs, schedule programs for recording, and establish parental controls to prevent television viewing during certain times on certain channels. The interactive television application may be used to support video recorder functions such as personal video recorder functions implemented locally on the user's set-top box or other equipment and network-based video recorder functions implemented using servers at cable television headends and other network locations. The interactive television application may also be used to deliver video-on-demand content. When the user requests that video be delivered, conflicts may arise between the requested video delivery and the previously-established time-based settings. The interactive television application may provide the user with on-screen options that allow the user to select how to resolve these conflicts.

    Abstract translation: 提供了一种交互式电视系统，其中用户可以使用交互式电视应用来建立基于时间的设置。 用户可以设置电视节目提醒，提前订购按次付费节目，用于记录的节目表，并且建立家长控制以防止某些频道上的特定时间的电视观看。 交互式电视应用可以用于支持视频记录器功能，例如在用户机顶盒上本地实现的个人录像机功能或者使用在有线电视头端和其他网络位置的服务器实现的其他设备和基于网络的录像机功能。 交互式电视应用也可以用于提供视频点播内容。 当用户请求传送视频时，可能会在请求的视频传送与先前建立的基于时间的设置之间产生冲突。 交互式电视应用程序可以向用户提供允许用户选择如何解决这些冲突的屏幕选项。

    Abstract: The present invention allows control of the presentation of advertisements that are associated with television networks, channels, and programs, and enables a single broadcasting of each advertisement associated with a network to be made to numerous television systems in parallel. The presentation of advertisements that are associated with television networks, channels, and programs is controlled in the present invention by determining at television viewer equipment whether the television networks, channels, or programs with which the advertisements are associated are unavailable to the television viewer or are undesirable to the television viewer. Once this determination has been made, the television viewer equipment then presents the advertisements, or selects and presents suitable alternative advertisements. A single broadcasting of each network advertisement to all television systems is enabled in the present invention by broadcasting each advertisement with a network identifier to all television systems. At the television systems, the network identifier and channel map or program guide information located in television viewer equipment are then used by an interactive program guide or other application running in the television viewer equipment to determine whether a local affiliate for that network is available and not designated as undesirable by the television viewer. If the local affiliate is available and not designated as undesirable, the advertisement is then presented to the television viewer, otherwise a suitable alternative advertisement is then identified and presented to the television viewer.

    Abstract translation: 本发明允许控制与电视网络，频道和节目相关联的广告的呈现，并且使与网络相关联的每个广告的单个广播能够并行地制作到许多电视系统。 在电视观看设备中，通过在电视观众设备判断广告关联的电视网络，频道或节目对于电视观看者是不可用的，在本发明中控制与电视网络，频道和节目相关联的广告的呈现 不利于电视观众。 一旦做出了这个确定，电视观看器设备就会呈现广告，或选择和呈现合适的替代广告。 在本发明中，通过向所有的电视系统广播具有网络标识符的每个广告来实现对所有电视系统的每个网络广告的单次广播。 在电视系统中，位于电视观看器设备中的网络标识符和频道地图或节目指南信息随后由在电视观看器设备中运行的交互节目指南或其他应用程序使用，以确定该网络的本地分支机构是否可用 由电视观众指定为不希望的。 如果本地分支机构可用并且未被指定为不期望的，则该广告然后被呈现给电视观众，否则合适的替代广告然后被识别并呈现给电视观众。

    Abstract: An interactive television program guide for supporting programming blackouts is provided. In some embodiments, the interactive television program guide may unschedule the reminding and recording of blacked-out programs that have been scheduled by a user for reminding or recording. In some embodiments, the interactive television program guide may prevent a user from scheduling blacked-out programs for reminding and recording. In some embodiments, the interactive television program guide may prevent a user from ordering blacked-out pay-per-view programs. In some embodiments, the interactive television program guide may provide blackout information in information displays. In some embodiments, the interactive television program guide may provide replacement media for blacked-out programs.
