    摘要: A method, system and computer program provide a mechanism for intelligently synchronizing a portable video device with a digital video recorder. The intelligent synchronization handles conditions under which a complete transfer of difference content is not possible due to available storage limitations of the portable video device. The synchronization process determines a content difference between the content on the portable video device and the content on the DVR, determines available storage space on the portable video device and compares the available storage space on the portable video device to a size of the content difference. If the size of the content difference is greater than the available storage space, the size of the content difference is reduced, by compression or truncation, without completely excluding video programs from the transfer.

    摘要: Purchasing PPV movies and events can be quite expensive for a viewer particularly when multiple PPV videos are purchased. Functionality can be implemented in a video recording device to search for less expensive alternatives for acquiring selected PPV content and other fee based videos. Automatically searching for lower fees and other lower-cost sources of a PPV video removes the tedium of manually checking for fee decreases for the selected PPV video and allows for more cost effective video recording.

    摘要: Viewing episodes of a video series in order allows for a good viewing experience and understanding of episode content of the individual episodes. Functionality can be implemented in a video recording device and/or at a content provider to collect data about viewing behavior to determine if a user(s) tends to view episodes of a series in order. The video recording device and/or content provider can also keep track of partially or fully viewed episodes and episodes that are ready for viewing to avoid acquiring already viewed episodes Being able to quickly catch up on missed episodes will allow for easier introduction to a video series and prevent viewers from abandoning programs. In addition, requests for particular episodes can be leveraged for dynamic episode scheduling and dynamic setting of advertisement rates.

    摘要: An approach is described that includes determining that a remote device has moved outside of a pre-defined area associated with a digital video recorder (DVR), and transmitting program data from the DVR to the remote device while the remote device remains outside of the pre-defined area. Another approach includes a digital video recorder (DVR) having a memory and a processor. The DVR operates to: receive an incoming transmission signal; transmit a selected program to a primary display device; determine that a remote device has moved outside of a pre-defined area; and transmit program data corresponding to the selected program to the remote device while the remote device remains outside of the pre-defined area.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention relate to the migration of virtual machines (VMs) between networked computing environments (e.g., cloud computing environments) based on resource utilization. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide an approach to select an optimal set (one or more) of VMs as candidates for pre-staged migration. In a typical embodiment, when a first cloud environment nears physical resource capacity, an optimal set of VMs will be identified for migration to a second cloud environment that has sufficient capacity to accommodate workload(s) from the first cloud environment. To make this process more efficient, data associated with the set of virtual machines may be “pre-stage” replicated from the first cloud environment to the second cloud environment (e.g., in advance of the migration of the identified set of VMs).

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for predictively migrating data between network computing environments (e.g., cloud computing environments). Specifically, in a typical embodiment, data access patterns for sets of data utilized by a set of services running in a first networked computing environment may be analyzed. Based on the analysis one or more of the sets of data may be identified as candidates to be migrated from the first networked computing environment to a second networked computing environment. Then, a data migration protocol for the one or more sets of data to be migrated to the second networked computing environment may be generated based on the data access patterns and a predicted data migration time. Based on the data migration protocol, the one or more sets of data may then be migrated to the second networked computing environment.

    摘要: A method, system and computer-usable medium for early notification of a pending deletion event by a digital playback device. Programs associated with the digital playback device can be scheduled for deletion in advance by a digital playback device interface manually and/or automatically. A deletion event can be notified through a remote delivery by analyzing scheduled recordings and hard drive space if the digital playback device recognizes a recording is close to the deletion event. The notification of the deletion event can be enabled by configuring a number of notification options maintained for each user profile by the digital playback device at a predefined time. The deletion event can be modified through the remote means, which allows a user to send information back to the digital playback device after a deletion notification is received. The deleted files can be moved to a deleted programs folder from which the program can be recovered and the recording can be irrevocably removed after a time period.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for dynamically acquiring computing resources in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment) based on infrastructure/computing resource needs. In a typical embodiment, a set of computing resources (needed to process a set of workloads) external to a first portion of a networked computing environment is identified. Once identified, electronic negotiations with at least one provider of the set of computing resources may be held for utilizing the provider's set of computing resources to process the set of workloads. In general, the negotiations are based on at least one resource registration (setting forth terms for utilizing the set of computing resources such as usage rates, usage limitations, etc.) associated with the at least one provider stored in at least one computer data structure. Responsive to successful completion of the negotiations, the set of computing resources will be associated with the first portion. Such association can occur through various methods such as utilizing computing resources in public cloud environments, expanding the first portion to include the set of computing resources, etc.
