    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for controlling the use of electronic systems based upon monitored physical activity. The method can be implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions. The program instructions are operable to: provision rules associated with a user and at least one of health metrics and physical activity of the user; monitor the at least one health metrics and physical activity of the user over a predetermined time; and manage access to any of a plurality of electronic systems based on the monitored at least one health metrics and physical activity being in compliance or non-compliance with the provisioned rules.

    摘要: A system, method, and computer program product for comparing a low quality broadcast to a high quality broadcast on a display device to show users the benefits of a high quality broadcast over a low quality broadcast. The display device capabilities are detected and compared to retrieved requirements for displaying a high quality broadcast. If the display requirements are met, retrieving the high quality broadcast and displaying the low quality and high quality broadcasts on a display device for user comparison. Then, the user accepts either the high quality or low quality broadcast and displays the high quality broadcast or the low quality broadcast in accordance with the user selection.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide optimization of telephone services through telephone calling plan/card analysis. The least expensive rate is found for telephone calls at any given time and/or date, either through static pre-entry of data, or through dynamic querying of rates via a web-based look-up table, and places calls according to an optimized calling plan. Specifically, in a typical embodiment, an outgoing/target telephone number for an intended telephone call is captured, and a corresponding destination geographic region is identified. Based on the geographic region, a calling plan resulting in a lowest price for the telephone call is identified. This is typically accomplished by consulting at least one table (e.g., call information table) that associates (among other things) calling plans and/or calling cards with geographic regions. Once a calling plan and/or calling card is identified/selected, a corresponding set of dialing instructions will be obtained from the table and used to make/place the telephone call.

    摘要: A method, system and computer program provide a mechanism for intelligently synchronizing a portable video device with a digital video recorder. The intelligent synchronization handles conditions under which a complete transfer of difference content is not possible due to available storage limitations of the portable video device. The synchronization process determines a content difference between the content on the portable video device and the content on the DVR, determines available storage space on the portable video device and compares the available storage space on the portable video device to a size of the content difference. If the size of the content difference is greater than the available storage space, the size of the content difference is reduced, by compression or truncation, without completely excluding video programs from the transfer.

    摘要: Purchasing PPV movies and events can be quite expensive for a viewer particularly when multiple PPV videos are purchased. Functionality can be implemented in a video recording device to search for less expensive alternatives for acquiring selected PPV content and other fee based videos. Automatically searching for lower fees and other lower-cost sources of a PPV video removes the tedium of manually checking for fee decreases for the selected PPV video and allows for more cost effective video recording.

    摘要: Viewing episodes of a video series in order allows for a good viewing experience and understanding of episode content of the individual episodes. Functionality can be implemented in a video recording device and/or at a content provider to collect data about viewing behavior to determine if a user(s) tends to view episodes of a series in order. The video recording device and/or content provider can also keep track of partially or fully viewed episodes and episodes that are ready for viewing to avoid acquiring already viewed episodes Being able to quickly catch up on missed episodes will allow for easier introduction to a video series and prevent viewers from abandoning programs. In addition, requests for particular episodes can be leveraged for dynamic episode scheduling and dynamic setting of advertisement rates.

    摘要: A computer-implemented proxy digital video recording system and method, including a processor and memory. The memory including program instructions that are executable by the processor to intercept a request to record a video program, the request triggered by a requesting user and having a request format. The proxy digital video recording system and method determines if a target digital video recorder can understand a format of the request, and translates the request into an intelligible format if the target digital video recorder cannot understand the request format.
