    Abstract: An interactive media guidance application implemented on a user equipment device may allow a user to create a group of user equipment devices that may be located in different homes or home networks. The interactive media guidance application may allow the user to add user equipment devices located in the user's home. The interactive media guidance application may also allow the user to invite user equipment devices located in other homes or home networks to join the group or accept requests from user equipment devices located in other homes or home networks to join the group. The interactive media guidance applications implemented on the user equipment devices in the group may allow users to select content to be stored. The content may be shared with the user equipment devices in the group.

    Abstract: A program guide system is provided in which an interactive television program guide that is implemented at least partially on user television equipment receives program listings data and real-time data such as sports scores, news data, and the like. The real-time data may be stored in a database maintained by the program guide, so that the program guide may access the stored real-time data at a later time. Updated program listings information may be provided to the program guide as part of the data stream in which the real-time data is provided. Unique keys may be generated for the program listings data and real-time data associated with each live event. The keys may be compared at the program guide to determine which program listings correspond to which items of real-time data. A controllable ticker may be displayed on top of a television program on the user television equipment. The controllable ticker may be sponsored. Different types of real-time data may be assigned different expiration times. When data has expired it may be removed from the database.

    Abstract translation: 提供了一种节目指南系统，其中至少部分地在用户电视设备上实现的交互式电视节目指南接收节目列表数据和实时数据，例如体育比分，新闻数据等。 实时数据可以存储在由节目指南维护的数据库中，使得节目指南可以稍后访问存储的实时数据。 更新的节目列表信息可以作为提供实时数据的数据流的一部分提供给节目指南。 可以为节目列表数据和与每个实况事件相关联的实时数据生成唯一的密钥。 可以在节目指南处对密钥进行比较，以确定哪些节目列表对应于哪个实时数据项。 可以在用户电视设备上的电视节目的顶部显示可控股票。 可以赞助可控股票代码。 不同类型的实时数据可能被分配不同的到期时间。 数据到期时，可能会从数据库中删除。

    Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying substitute media while fast forwarding past advertisements are provided. When a user reaches the advertisement, the interactive media guidance application may receive an instruction to fast forward the advertisement. In response to the fast forward instruction, the interactive media guidance application may identify and display substitute media instead of the advertisement. The substitute media may be an image, a video frame/clip, a graphic, an animated graphic, or any other suitable media. The substitute media may be distributed in the advertisement using any suitable method. For example, the substitute media may be incorporated in the video frames of the advertisement (e.g., overlaid in the video frames of the advertisement), added as hidden video frames distributed in the advertisement, or any other suitable approach. An advertisement tool for creating advertisements that include substitute media, and for previewing advertisements as they are fast forwarded is also provided.

    Abstract translation: 提供了在快速转发广告时显示替代媒体的系统和方法。 当用户到达广告时，交互式媒体引导应用可以接收快速转发广告的指令。 响应于快进指令，交互式媒体引导应用可以识别和显示替代媒体而不是广告。 替代媒体可以是图像，视频帧/剪辑，图形，动画图形或任何其它合适的媒体。 替代媒体可以使用任何合适的方法分发在广告中。 例如，替代媒体可以被并入广告的视频帧（例如，叠加在广告的视频帧中），作为在广告中分配的隐藏视频帧添加，或者任何其他合适的方法。 还提供了用于创建包括替代媒体的广告，以及用于在快速转发时预览广告的广告工具。

    Abstract: Systems and methods for skipping advertisements while playing back a video that includes at least one advertisement are provided. When a user reaches the advertisement, the user may select to skip the advertisement. In response to the skip instruction, the interactive media guidance application may identify and display substitute media instead of the advertisement. The substitute media may be an image, a video frame, a video clip, a graphic, or any other suitable media. The interactive media guidance application may identify the substitute media to display from advertisement data associated with the skipped advertisement. The substitute media may be displayed for a designated length of time (e.g., less than the time it would take to fast forward past the advertisement). Once the time for displaying the substitute media has lapsed, the interactive media guidance application may resume playback of the video following the end of the advertisement.

    Abstract translation: 提供了在播放包括至少一个广告的视频时跳过广告的系统和方法。 当用户到达广告时，用户可以选择跳过广告。 响应于跳过指令，交互式媒体引导应用可以识别和显示替代媒体而不是广告。 替代媒体可以是图像，视频帧，视频剪辑，图形或任何其它合适的媒体。 交互式媒体引导应用可以识别从与跳过的广告相关联的广告数据显示的替代媒体。 替代介质可以显示指定的时间长度（例如，小于快速通过广告的时间）。 一旦显示替代媒体的时间已经过去，交互式媒体指导应用程序可以在广告结束之后恢复播放视频。

    Abstract: An interactive television program guide system is provided in which a user may inform a program guide of the user's interests. Information on the user's interests may be stored in a preference profile. There may be more than one preference profile, each for a different user. Each preference profile contains a number of preference attributes (program titles, genres, viewing times, channels, broadcast characteristics, etc.). A preference level (e.g., strong or weak like, strong or weak dislike, illegal, mandatory, don't care, etc.) that is indicative of the user's level of interest is associated with each preference attribute. Preference profiles may be used to restrict the programs that are listed in various program listings display screens and may be used to limit the channels to which the program guide allows the user to tune.

    Abstract translation: 提供了一种交互式电视节目指南系统，其中用户可以向节目指南通知用户的兴趣。 关于用户兴趣的信息可以存储在偏好配置文件中。 可能有多个偏好配置文件，每个配置文件用于不同的用户。 每个偏好配置文件包含多个偏好属性（节目标题，流派，观看时间，频道，广播特征等）。 与每个偏好属性相关联的表示用户感兴趣程度的偏好级别（例如，强或弱，如强或弱不喜欢，非法，强制性，不关心等）。 优先级配置文件可以用于限制在各种节目列表显示屏幕中列出的节目，并且可以用于限制节目指南允许用户调谐到的频道。
