    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: 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 coupled to a display device, such as, for example, a television, having a screen. The system display media content on the screen. The system receives a command to display on the screen an electronic program guide. In response to the command, the system displays, concurrently with displaying the media content, a first dynamic video program within a first portion of the screen.

    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: Aspects of the present invention provide user interface methods for interacting with and managing network-connected thermostats through a thermostat management system. The user interface method identifies a primary enclosure associated with a thermostat management account with the remaining enclosures deemed secondary enclosures. The user interface displays the primary enclosure using a primary enclosure selection appearing in a foreground area of the user interface as a house and adjacent to thermostat selections representing each of the network-connected thermostats installed in the primary enclosure. In a background area of the user interface, a primary weather visual incorporates images of various weather patterns reflecting both a weather pattern in the vicinity of the primary enclosure and an approximate time of day at the geographic location of the primary enclosure. Secondary enclosure selections are visually deemphasized on the user interface when compared with the primary enclosure selection displayed on the user interface.

    摘要: Automatically marking locations of user interest in media content is disclosed. Data that describes user interaction with media content is analyzed to determine locations of potential interest. For each of the locations of potential interest, the data is analyzed to determine whether user interest satisfies a criterion for establishing a mark for the location. Marks are determined for those locations that satisfy the criterion. A mark includes a description for a given location and information that allows the given location to be automatically presented to a user upon selection of the description. In another aspect, extrinsic data that is separate from a piece of media content is analyzed to determine whether moments of high user interest might exist in the piece of media content. Then, the piece of media content is scanned to find locations in the media content that correspond to the moments.
