摘要： A media discovery module (MDM) is described that facilitates a user's access to desired media items. The MDM presents a series of arrays of media items to the user. The user's selection within any array governs the composition of media items that are presented in a subsequent array. Different linking criteria can define the relationship among arrays. In one case, the MDM uses a time-based linking criterion, allowing a user to examine a media item at increasing levels of temporal granularity. In another case, the MDM uses a subject matter-based criterion, allowing a user to examine one or more media items at increasing levels of detail with respect to a subject matter index. The MDM can employ various tools to establish the relationship among media items, including image analysis tools, audio analysis tools, metadata analysis tools, and so on.

摘要： A system that includes a content distribution facility coupled to at least one client device for presenting programming via a presentation device having a screen. The system displays on the screen first content having an associated characteristic. In response to an event other than user selection of a program, the system displays a message stored in at least one of the distribution facility and client device. The message includes subject matter corresponding to the characteristic.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to displaying full scale images with overlaid similar scaled images and a graphical user device in a display of a client device. The client device receives video streams of the full scale images and scaled images. The video streams are broadcast independent of one another, and a user of the client device may manipulate the format of the images of either or both streams, and/or place the scaled image on any portion of the full scaled image. The graphical user interface is placed so it does not obscure the scaled image. Alternatively a single video stream may be received by the client device. When a single video stream is received, the client device creates two video streams, one stream comprising full scale images and the other stream comprising scaled images. The full scale image is overlaid with the scaled image and the graphical user interface.

摘要： A system coupled to a presentation device, such as, for example, a television or audio speaker. The system receives a selection of a program for presentation to a user of the system. The system provides information, including, for example, a sound or displayed icon, to indicate to the user that, if the user transitions away from the program, the user will be able to transition at a later time to presentation of the program.

摘要： A user-input device includes a control having an axis. A circuit is coupled to the control and generates a first command signal in response to movement of the control about the axis from a first angular position to a second angular position. The circuit generates a second command signal in response to linear movement of the control from a first linear position to a second linear position. A transmitter may be coupled to the circuit to wirelessly transmit the first and second command signals to an electronic device.

摘要： A safety stud setter includes a spacer bar along with a stud flange disposed at one end of the spacer bar for abutting a first stud disposed at a right angle to a transverse stud. A stud gripper is disposed at another end of a spacer bar for positioning a second stud disposed at a right angle to the transverse stud at a preselected distance from the stud and a lever mechanism is provided for forcing the second stud against the stud base to enable nailing of the second stud to the transverse stud through the stud base without movement of the second stud from the transverse stud. Safety guides are provided for positioning a nail gun head against the stud base and preventing escape of fired nails.

摘要： Media content menu navigation and customization is described. In an embodiment, a content menu is displayed that includes a listing which collectively identifies media content that is available for viewing from multiple data streams. The multiple data streams can each provide different media content that is collectively identified where the different media content of each data stream is related. Each of the multiple data streams of the media content are mapped to a television channel and each data stream has an associated sub-channel identifier. At least some of the sub-channel identifiers are displayed and optionally an associated image corresponding to the media content that is available for viewing via the associated sub-channel is displayed.

摘要： Media content menu navigation and customization is described. In an embodiment, a content menu is displayed that includes a listing for a category of media content that is available for viewing. A user-selectable input is then received to select the category of the media content from the content menu. In response to the user-selectable input, a promotional image corresponding to the selected category of the media content is displayed and an updated content menu that includes listings of sub-categories of the media content is displayed. An additional user-selectable input is received to select a sub-category of the media content from the updated content menu, and an additional promotional image corresponding to the selected sub-category of the media content is displayed where the additional promotional image is associated with the promotional image by the user-selectable inputs.
