    Abstract: Techniques described herein enable searching for multimedia content and for downloading or scheduling the recording of the multimedia content. The multimedia content may have been previously stored on one or more databases. The client device may download or schedule the recording of multimedia content in one step, for example, in one touch. When desired multimedia content is not available, the multimedia content is added to the client device's wish list. When the client device's does not have a wish list, the client device's wish list may be created on the spot. During the scheduling of the recording, a tag associated with the multimedia content is checked to determine whether the multimedia content is live or delayed. When the tag indicates the multimedia content is live or delayed, the client device prompts with a suggestion to add extra time to the end of the recording of the multimedia content.

    Abstract translation: 本文描述的技术能够搜索多媒体内容并用于下载或调度多媒体内容的记录。 多媒体内容可能已经先前存储在一个或多个数据库上。 客户端设备可以在一个步骤中例如一个接一个地下载或安排多媒体内容的记录。 当期望的多媒体内容不可用时,多媒体内容被添加到客户端设备的愿望列表中。 当客户端设备没有希望列表时,客户端设备的愿望列表可以在现场创建。 在记录调度期间,检查与多媒体内容相关联的标签,以确定多媒体内容是实时还是延迟。 当标签指示多媒体内容是实时的或延迟的时,客户端设备提示建议在多媒体内容的记录结束时增加额外的时间。

    Abstract: A DVR, server, or other agent correlates media metadata from diverse sources, like an EPG data provider and multiple video-on-demand (VOD) service providers. Metadata sets from different sources are compared in order to attempt to identify identical programs to which the metadata sets pertain. From at least one metadata set, information about the program that the other metadata set lacks is selected. A “canonical” data structure instance for the program is created. The information that is lacking from at least one of the metadata sources is inserted into that instance. For each source from which a program is available, the DVR stores the identity of that source on the DVR's persistent storage device in association with the canonical data structure instance for that program. The DVR receives search criteria from a user and then searches the stored canonical data structure instance for programs that satisfy the criteria.

    Abstract translation: DVR,服务器或其他代理将来自不同来源的媒体元数据,如EPG数据提供商和多个视频点播(VOD)服务提供商相关联。 比较来自不同来源的元数据集,以便尝试识别元数据集所属的相同程序。 从至少一个元数据集,选择其他元数据集缺少的关于该程序的信息。 创建程序的“规范”数据结构实例。 从至少一个元数据源中缺少的信息插入到该实例中。 对于程序可用的每个源,DVR将该源的身份与该程序的规范数据结构实例相关联地存储在DVR的持久存储设备上。 DVR从用户接收搜索条件,然后在存储的规范数据结构实例中搜索满足条件的程序。
