    摘要: Content selection and output techniques are described. In an implementation, a user interface is output at a client device that provides for selection of television content via a website for output on a television. A communication is formed to be communicated to the website based on interaction with the user interface to cause the television content to be output by the television automatically and without user intervention.

    摘要: Representative scene images are described. In embodiment(s), an episodes user interface can be generated to include scene images that each represent and visually distinguish a different episode in a television program series. The episodes user interface can then be communicated to a media device to be rendered for display where the scene images are viewer-selectable via the episodes user interface. A scene image can be selected to initiate a request for an episode in the television program series to be rendered for viewing at the media device.

    摘要: Signature-based advertisement scheduling techniques are described. In an implementation, a signature for each of a plurality of advertisements is computed that describes characteristics of the respective advertisements. The signatures are compared to determine similarities of the plurality of advertisements, one to another. The plurality of advertisements is then scheduled for output in conjunction with content based on the comparison.

    摘要: Revenue techniques involving segmented content and advertisements are described. In an implementation, content, which has one or more advertisements embedded by a content provider, is segmented into a plurality of segments. An identification is performed to determine which of the plurality of segments are program segments. An identification is also performed to determine which of the plurality of segments are advertising segments, at least one of the advertising segments includes at least one of the advertisements. An option is provided to pay to output the program segments without output of the advertising segments.

    摘要: Media asset navigation representations are described. In various embodiments, a content navigation input is received, such as an input to a client device, to initiate a display of a media asset navigation interface from which media assets can be selected. Groups of related media assets are determined, and each group of related media assets is represented for user selection from the media asset navigation interface. A visual element is identified for each group of related media assets, and the visual elements each provide a coherent visual representation of the related media assets in a respective group. A display can be initiated of the visual elements in the media asset navigation interface where each of the visual elements are selectable to individually navigate the related media assets in the respective groups.

    摘要: Media asset pivot navigation is described. In various embodiments, collections of media assets are determined from relational metadata that corresponds to the media assets in a respective collection. Each collection of media assets are represented as a navigation axis along which the media assets in a respective collection can be located, and a media asset can be associated with multiple collections of media assets based on the relational metadata. A media asset navigation interface is generated for display from which the collections of media assets can be navigated to locate the media assets for selection. The media asset navigation interface includes a display of a collection of media assets represented as a navigation axis. A navigation input can be received to pivot from the navigation axis to an alternate navigation axis and initiate a display of an additional collection of media assets that are represented as the alternate navigation axis.

    摘要: A list navigation module (LNM) is described that allows a user to navigate among a filtered list of items, yet, in addition, also discover items within an original list items. In operation, a user inputs a search selection, which prompts the LNM to cull a filtered list of items from the original set of items. When the user enters navigation selections of a first kind, the LNM advances to only items in the filtered list. When the user enters navigation selections of a second kind, the LNM advances to items in the unfiltered original list. Further, when the user attempts to navigate past an end of the presented filtered list, the LNM advances to items in the unfiltered original list. The LNM can provide a visual indicator which conveys that one or more items in the original list of items do not appear in the filtered list of items.

    摘要: An item discovery module (IDM) is described that allows a user to find one or more desired items within a store of candidate items. In operation, the user enters a search selection, upon which the IDM determines a collection of matching items. The IDM groups the matching items into one or more buckets, each bucket including one or more items. The IDM then selects representative items for the respective buckets and presents the representative items to the user. The representative items assist the user in converging on the one or more desired items. Namely, the user may enter another search selection which targets an identified bucket, upon which the above-described procedure is repeated.

    摘要: Media asset pivot navigation is described. In embodiments, collections of media assets can be determined, where each of the collections correspond to a navigation axis that is traversable in a user interface to locate media assets for selection. Visual representations are determined that each represent a collection of media assets, and the visual representations are displayable in the user interface. The visual representations that represent the collections of media assets can be non-textual visual representations that are most likely discernible to a user as representing the collections of the media assets. A navigation input relative to a collection of media assets can be received, and responsive to receiving the navigation input, a visual representation that represents the collection of media assets is changed based on user interactions with the media assets in the collection of media assets.
