摘要： A search-enabled remote control device to facilitate viewers' ability to search through programming and/or content options and view results. In one embodiment, a viewer is able to use a traditional remote control interface to navigate through menus or selections and to display search results on screen. In another embodiment, a viewer's watching behavior and/or searching habits are tracked by the search-enabled remote control and used to develop a viewer profile, which may in turn be used to target advertisements, information and/or future programming options.

摘要： The field of the invention relates to systems and methods for operation of a matching service, and more particularly to systems and methods that enable online compatibility matching and ranking. In a preferred embodiment, the system includes a matching system server coupled to a public network and accessible to one or more users. The matching system server includes a database that stores match profile data associated with the one more users, wherein the match profile data includes self-identified preferences. The matching server system is configured to correlate a first user's match profile data with one or more of the plurality of users' match profile data to identify a set of potential matches for the first user based on a relaxed set of self-identified preferences and calculate a compatibility value for each match in the set of potential matches.

摘要： System and method for providing time-based content. In one embodiment, time-based offers are presented to viewers of broadcast content, and may be presented on the same display device being used to display broadcast programming. In another embodiment, time-based offers are commercial offers inviting the viewer to purchase goods or services at a special rate for a limited time. Time-based offers may also be customized based on programming content being viewed and/or viewer profile data. Responses to presented time-based offers may be used to update viewer profile data and/or merchant conversion profile data, which is a measure of how effective the particular offer is.

摘要： System and method for presenting search results. Search results may be mixed and/or prioritized based on one or more criteria. Search results may be mixed and/or prioritized based on user profile data, preferred advertiser/merchant rankings or a combination thereof. Search results may presented to a viewer on a display device simultaneously along with broadcast and/or streaming content. The search results may be “pushed” to a client-side device and presented along with related broadcast content. Alternatively, the search results may be based on one or more user-provided search criteria.

摘要翻译： 用于呈现搜索结果的系统和方法。 搜索结果可以根据一个或多个标准混合和/或优先化。 搜索结果可以基于用户简档数据，优选的广告商/商家排名或其组合来混合和/或优先化。 搜索结果可以与广播和/或流内容同时呈现给显示设备上的观众。 搜索结果可以被“推送”到客户端设备并且与相关广播内容一起呈现。 或者，搜索结果可以基于一个或多个用户提供的搜索标准。

摘要： The invention is generally directed to systems and methods for operation of a match service, and more particularly to systems and methods that enable online ad hoc matching between two or more subscribers. If a first subscriber to a match service identifies a second subscriber, in a preferred embodiment, the first subscriber can obtain the second subscriber's electronic match profile data and initiate an ad hoc compatibility analysis to assess compatibility.
