    摘要: Scene-based program accessing systems and methods are operable to present a program at a scene corresponding to a selected thumbnail-sized image. An exemplary embodiment selects a plurality of image frames from a program based upon a scene separation duration; generates a thumbnail-sized image from each of the selected image frames, and presents the plurality of thumbnail-sized images on a scene index. The scene index is configured to present the plurality of thumbnail-sized images in a time ordered sequence corresponding to a subject matter presentation sequence of the program, and each of the selected image frames are temporally separated from each other by the scene separation duration.

    摘要: Systems and methods are operable to present text identified in a presented video image of a media content event. An exemplary embodiment receives a complete video frame that is associated with a presented video image of a video content event, wherein the presented video image includes a region of text; finds the text in the complete video frame; uses an optical character recognition (OCR) algorithm to translate the found text; and presents the translated text. The translated text may be presented on a display concurrently with the video image that is presented on the display. Alternatively, or additionally, the translated text may be presented as audible speech emitted from at least one speaker.

    摘要: Systems, apparatus and methods are described for presenting selected broadcast programming in response to information received from an RFID or other tag associated with a viewer. Such a system may include a television receiver, a set top box, and a user interface, such as a remote control, that enables a user to select a program to be viewed. The set top box is coupled to a detector arranged to interrogate and read personal tags identifying the individual with whom they are associated or the rights assigned to those individuals. The information obtained from the tag may be processed in any manner.

    摘要: Systems and methods are operable to store music program content events received in a content stream. An exemplary system and method stores the content stream that includes at least an initial portion of a music program content event, receives a request to store the music program content event, accesses the stored content stream, identifies a start of the music program content event in the accessed content stream, and re-stores the initial portion of the music program content event based upon the start of the music program content event. Then, the exemplary system and method receives a continuing portion of the music program content event in the content stream, and stores the continuing portion of the music program content event with the initial portion of the music program content event. Accordingly, an entirety of the music program content event is stored.

    摘要: The present invention is for a connected network of broadcast data receivers of the type provided to receive data transmitted from a remote location and then processes the data to generate video, audio and/or auxiliary information. The network connection in accordance with the invention allows at least one of the receivers to provide information relating to the usage of at least one of the further broadcast data receivers on the network. This allows the user of the first receiver to, for example, monitor the usage of another of the receivers and, if necessary, take steps to control usage depending on the material being generated, the time of usage, or other selected parameters.
