摘要： A broadcasting system includes a broadcasting server which checks for overlap in a broadcasting schedule. The broadcasting server performs an operation on a first bit map corresponding to service time information of each program on each of at least one channel and a second bit map corresponding to service time information of a new program, and additionally arranges the new program. The broadcasting system providing broadcasting service through a variety of networks, enables a broadcasting program schedule to be managed efficiently, and performs a schedule overlap check so as to arrange a new program to be performed in a minimum amount of time.

摘要： A scheduler schedules multimedia content files for transmission over a broadcast network. Multimedia content files can be any sort of audio/video clips like, sports video, music video, news clip, movie sound track etc. In particular, the scheduler determines a transmission order for content files and generates an electronic service guide having a static part and a dynamic part such that content scheduled in the dynamic part may have a different transmission order in different versions of the electronic service guide. Schedule timing information and meta data information is transmitted over a broadcast network along with the clips so that receivers can do selective reception of their preferred clips, saving battery power and storage.

摘要： A scheduler schedules multimedia content files for transmission over a broadcast network. Multimedia content files can be any sort of audio/video clips like, sports video, music video, news clip, movie sound track etc. In particular, the scheduler determines a transmission order for content files as a function of a dynamic priority value, which is determined in accordance with at least a dissimilarity measure between the content files; wherein the dissimilarity measure of the media content files is further determined as a function of the clip meta data associated with each clip. Schedule timing information and meta data information is transmitted over a broadcast network along with the clips so that receivers can do selective reception of their preferred clips, saving battery power and storage.

摘要： In sequence data composed of a plurality of event sets with their execution sequence predefined, each of the event sets includes event data indicative of an event to be executed and trigger data defining timing for executing the event. Once a user manually instructs progression instructing operation while the individual events are being executed in accordance with the timing defined by the corresponding trigger data, the next event is executed immediately even before arrival of the next event execution timing. According to another aspect, the trigger data include trigger data of a first type that defines the event execution timing the event by use of an absolute time and trigger data of a second type that defines the event execution timing by use of a relative time between the events, and the sequence data may mixedly include the trigger data of the first and second types. Any one of the two time information can be used appropriately in accordance with characteristics of the individual events. For example, for one event having close relevancy to another event to be executed earlier than the one event, the relative time information is used.

摘要： A method and system are disclosed for providing community defined and/or controlled channels where content for a channel may be continuously streamed to users based on input from users that participate in the channel. Channel definitions and content for different community channels may be stored in a community channel store within an on-demand media server capable of streaming content to subscribing users. One or more channels may be defined in the community channel store by a server administrator. Certain users may also have the ability to create channels within the community channel store. Each channel may be related to a topic, theme, type of content or anything of interest to a particular community of users. Content is added to each channel, which content is streamed to users continuously in a predetermined channel lineup. Ideally, there will be one or more channels that are tailored to a given community of users' viewing wishes, so that a user in that community may simply access a community channel and receive content that they are interested in without having to actively select the content they receive.

摘要： Data streams are selected according to user preferences and transmitted to the user. Such data streams may be audio, video, or other works, such as popular music or the like, or other works, including music videos. Users may indicate their general or specific preferences with reaard to song, artists, or albums. Other users, particularly ones who access the system often, can act as influencers or controllers of the music transmitted to the user. Any other aspects or factors that might affect the user's preferences can be taken into account, such as popular radio stations in the United States or anywhere in the world. A playlist can be created that combines all of these factors, as well as any applicable statutory regulations. The playlist serves as a basis for feeding the data streams to the user, and the user can enjoy music generally of their choosing, while additionally being exposed to new music (if the user so prefers). An Internet radio is established. Each user can express their own preferences and receive music corresponding to those preferences on an on-going basis. Every individual can be the manager of their own radio station that broadcasts music that parallels the user's tastes. Other users may also choose to hear the same playlist as another individual, or allow that individual to influence their playlist.

摘要： A method of constructing and handling a request for a desired data file relating to a broadcast segment of a broadcast signal is described. The method comprises receiving an information signal at a receiving device. The information signal comprises at least a data element, and the data element relates to a segment of the broadcast signal. The method also comprises presenting the data element to a user interface of the receiving device, obtaining a user selection of the data element from the user interface, and constructing and transmitting a request for the desired data file relating to the selected data element, the request including an identifier relating to the desired data file.

摘要： A communication system includes a server that receives broadcast data and outputs the received data to a network-connected client and a client that performs reproduction or recording of the data received from the server. The server includes a broadcast receiving unit that receives the broadcast data and a server-record-scheduling-information managing unit that creates a record scheduling list. The client includes a client-record-scheduling-information managing unit that acquires the record scheduling list from the server and a record processing unit that executes an acquisition request for record-scheduled contents. The server-record-scheduling-information managing unit receives content acquisition request data from the network-connected client, selects request data from plural content acquisition request data overlapping in time, performs a content transmission permission response as a response to the selected request data and transmits requested contents, and performs a response indicating that a request is not executed as a response to the request data not selected.
