Abstract: A method and apparatus for highlighting a program listing in a set of program listings based on selection criteria. The selection criteria may indicate that the a broadcaster has agreed to pay a service provider in return for the service provider ensuring that a program listing, corresponding to the program of the broadcaster, is highlighted in a program page that displays a set of program listings, such as television program listings. If there are multiple program listings, listed in a program page, that are to be highlighted, then details of the respective contracts may be used to determine which program listing to highlight. Such details may include the total contract value, a ratio of contract value-to-page view, and/or the time of contract formation.

Abstract: While a multimedia device is fast-forwarding content, the multimedia device reads “jump back” tags expressed in or derived from a closed-caption stream. When the multimedia device detects the presence of a “jump back” tag while fast-forwarding, the multimedia device enters a special state. While in this special state, if the multimedia device detects that the user has instructed the multimedia device to stop fast-forwarding, the multimedia device locates a specified temporal location in a recorded commercial break. This specified temporal location may be specified by the particular tag, for example. The multimedia device stops performing whatever activity in which the multimedia device was engaged, “jumps back” to the specified temporal location in the recorded commercial break, and resumes playing the recorded content stream at normal speed from the specified temporal location.
Abstract translation: 当多媒体设备是快速转发内容时,多媒体设备读取在封闭字幕流中表示或衍生自的“跳回”标签。 当多媒体设备在快进时检测到“跳回”标签的存在时,多媒体设备进入特殊状态。 在该特殊状态下,如果多媒体装置检测到用户指示多媒体装置停止快进,则多媒体装置在记录的商业广告中定位指定的时间位置。 例如,该指定的时间位置可以由特定标签指定。 多媒体设备停止执行多媒体设备所参与的任何活动,“跳回”到所记录的商业广告中的指定时间位置,并从指定的时间位置恢复以正常速度播放所记录的内容流。

Abstract: Techniques for scheduling content recordings at a multimedia device are described. A mobile device receives an invitational message from a local wireless network. In response to receiving the invitational message, the mobile device sends a scheduling request/instruction to a server or to the multimedia device directly. The scheduling request or instruction causes a recording of the specific media content at a multimedia device to be scheduled.
