    摘要: The systems and methods described herein are directed toward launching a third party application in a media center module using a conditional link. The media center module is configured to enable the third party application to register with the module and to associate a primary link that serves as the entry point for the application. The media center module also enables the third party application to provide a conditional link that serves as the entry point when a certain condition is met. Under normal circumstances, the media center module provides the primary link as the entry point for a user to launch the third party application. When the media center module receives a notification from the third party application to use the conditional link, the media center application causes the conditional link to be the entry point for the application. Thus, the use of conditional link enables a third party application to specify how the application is launched from the media center module under different conditions.

    摘要: Various technologies and techniques are disclosed that relate to providing interactive television by synchronizing content to live and/or recorded television shows. Content is synchronized without the use of in-band triggers. A broadcast stream is received, and search/action pairs are received from a transmission path, such as from the Internet or user. When the search criteria are found in the broadcast stream, the associated action is performed and the content is synchronized with the show. An application programming interface is used to facilitate synchronization, and includes a set search method, a search function template method, and a clear search method. The set search method initiates searching of the broadcast stream and registers one or more callback methods for performing the associated action when the match is found. The search function template serves as the template for registering the callback methods. The clear search method clears the system resources from the search.

    摘要: Described is a technology by which a virtual location marker (e.g., virtual pushpin or similar placeholder) is determined from the results of a query, in which the virtual location marker corresponds to a first coordinate set (e.g., a latitude, longitude and/or altitude of a business location) to represent a point on a map. Various static and dynamic data may be used to select a result deemed most desirable from among multiple query results. The virtual location marker may be output, e.g., plotted on a map and/or used to provide audio directions. Upon detecting a state change, such as a change in current location, and/or a change in direction, speed, time, a start location or an end destination, the virtual location marker may be automatically re-determined, including changing the virtual location marker to correspond to a second, different coordinate set now deemed most desirable in view of the state change.
