    摘要: A method and arrangement for modifying settings of a television program recommender (200) displays the rating (recommended or not recommended) for a selected television program, and also displays profile parameters of the user in a bar graph-type display in which the value of the profile parameters in each of a plurality of categories are shown as the positions of profile parameter icons (302-308), while the television program recommender further shows icons (312-318) representing threshold levels in each category above which the selected television program would be recommended. The user is enabled to change the values of the profile parameters in at least one of the categories by moving the relevant profile parameter icon (302-308) such that, for example, it reaches, or passes, the respective threshold level icon (312-318). The television program recommender (200) then recalculates the rating and the threshold levels to correspond with the desires of the user. As such, the user is able to modify the profile parameters of the television program recommender (200) such that it recommends, or does not recommend, programs in accordance with the desires of the user.

    摘要: A method and arrangement for modifying settings of a television program recommender displays the rating (recommended or not recommended) for a selected television program, and also displays icons for selection by the user to indicate whether the user agrees or disagrees with the recommendation. The television program recommender then updates its settings based on the user's icon selection. In addition, if the user indicates that he/she disagrees with the recommendation, the television program recommender determines and displays the number of times that the user needs to indicate his/her desires with respect to the selected television program in order for the recommendation to agree with the user's desires.

    摘要: Extracting and processing video content encoded in a rendered color space to be emulated by an ambient light source, comprising extracting dominant color information from a video signal and transforming the color information through unrendered color space using tristimulus primary matrices to form a second rendered color space for ambient distribution. Steps include quantizing the rendered color space to form an assigned color distribution, such as by reducing possible color states, or binning to form superpixels; and selecting a dominant color using a mode, mean, median, or weighted average of pixel chromaticities. A color of interest can be further analyzed to produce a true dominant color, and past video frames can guide selection of dominant colors in future frames.

    摘要: An electronic programming guide (EPG) system employing a preference engine and processing system that combines explicit rule profile, history profile, and feedback profile data to generate new predictions. Television shows are presumed to be indexed by many features. These features are extracted and counted for TV shows watched (implicit profile), and for TV shows rated by the viewer (feedback profile). These profiles are straightforward to combine with suitably greater weight being given to the feedback information. In addition, explicit profiles can make recommendations that stand alone or may be used to modify recommendations arising from either of the two sources. The modifications may take the form of additive or multiplicative changes to the existing recommendations or some other suitable mathematical form.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for recommending items of interest to a user based on recommendations made to one or more third parties. The recommendation scores generated by a primary recommender are influenced by recommendations generated for one or more third parties, such as a friend, colleague or trendsetter. The disclosed recommender corroborates with other recommenders when recommending items of interest and adjusts a conventional recommender score based on third party recommendations. The third party recommendations may be a top-N list of recommended items for a given third party, and may optionally include a recommendation score and an indication of whether or not the third party actually selected the recommended item. A recommender evaluates the viewing or purchase habits of a user and communicates with one or more other recommenders to determine the items that are being recommended by such other recommenders.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are that restrict access to digital content to an authorized user on one or more systems using biometric watermarks. The disclosed biometric watermarking techniques allow an authorized user to be uniquely identified. Access to digital content is restricted to digital content in accordance with the present invention by embedding a biometric watermark, such as a biometric image, in the content. Thereafter, a user can only access the content if a biometric sample of the user matches the embedded biometric watermark. In one variation, the user can only access the content if the biometric sample is a live biometric sample. The embedded biometric watermark optionally includes information describing a system employed by the user to obtain the content. The user can optionally be permitted to access the content, without a biometric evaluation, if the content is on a system that has been previously authorized for the user using a biometric evaluation.

    摘要: A system and method wherein the parameters used for face recognition are determined via an evolutionary algorithm, such as a genetic algorithm. Candidate sets of parameters are evaluated for face recognition performance in a given environment. The most effective sets of parameters are used to generate offspring sets of parameters, and these offspring sets are subsequently evaluated for face recognition performance. This process is repeated, with each generation of offspring sets inheriting attributes of the most successful sets, until the system converges on a set of parameters that exhibits superior performance for the given environment. In like manner, other sets of parameters are determined for other environments. When the face recognition system is deployed, the appropriate set of parameters is used, dependent upon the environment in which the target images originate. In this manner, the system exhibits superior performance in each of the environments in which it is deployed.
