    摘要: A method of performing time-shift function and television receiver having a tuner and a personal video recorder for storing broadcast programs of at least one channel enables a broadcast program of a currently tuned channel to be continuously and efficiently stored to enable time-shifting, regardless of an interruption by switching channels or changing input sources or even in the case of an inadvertent power-off condition. The method includes steps of setting a time-shift lock function; storing in the personal video recorder the broadcast program of a first channel that is currently viewed; storing in the personal video recorder the broadcast program of a second channel and the broadcast program of the first channel, if the currently viewed first channel is switched to the second channel; and supplying power only to the tuner and the personal video recorder, if a power-off condition occurs, wherein the supply of power to the tuner and the personal video recorder causes a continuous storing of the broadcast programs of the first and second channels in the personal video recorder.

    摘要: Disclosed is a system and method for scheduling clips. An example method involves (i) accessing a first list that includes ordered clip identifiers C1 . . . Cn; (ii) accessing a second list that includes a player identifier Pq; (iii) accessing a third list that includes player identifiers P1 . . . Px; (iv) making a determination that a particular clip identifier from the clip identifiers C1 . . . Cn is associated with a property; (v) responsive to making the determination, assigning to the particular clip identifier, the player identifier Pq; (vi) assigning to each clip identifier C1 . . . Cn except for the particular clip identifier, a respective one of the player identifiers P1 . . . Px,wherein the player identifiers are selected in an ordered and looping fashion; and (vii) for each of the clip identifiers C1 . . . Cn, causing a player identified by the one of the player identifiers Pq or P1 . . . Px assigned to that clip identifier to load a clip identified by that clip identifier.

    摘要: A system has a video capture device, wherein the video capture device captures a video image; a biometric capture device, wherein the biometric capture device captures biometric data, wherein the video image and the biometric data are time synchronized; a storage device coupled to the video capture device and coupled to the biometric capture device, wherein the video image and the biometric data are stored on the storage device, wherein the storage device is a non-transitory storage device; a content selector coupled to the storage device, wherein the content selector selects at least one segment of the video image as a function of the biometric data passing a threshold; and a display device coupled to the storage device, wherein the display device displays the at least one segment.
