摘要： An approach is provided for presenting video assets. An asset manager determines a plurality of factors for positioning of video assets represented on a graphical user interface. The asset manager then determines weighting of the factors using one or more rules that are based on a search operation or a browse operation relating to the assets. From the determined plurality of factors and weighting of the factors, the asset manager computes a score for ranking of a particular one of the assets with respect to the positioning of other ones of the assets.

摘要： This disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods and systems for improving the relevancy of Interactive Program Guide search results on a wireless user's handset and television (hereinafter, “IPG”). The IPG implements a search facility whereby users may enter search criteria into a wireless user's handset or television or the like and receive search results sorted to provide the most relevant results first. In one embodiment, the IPG may receive search criteria into a search engine and determine one or more search results in response to the search criteria. The IPG may query one or more databases of attributes, compare the search results to the attributes, and calculate weights for each of the search results according to one or more attributes. The IPG may also sort and return the compared search results so that the results are returned in order of relevance according to the weighting.
