Benefits of technology

This approach provides a personalized viewing experience by accurately identifying and recommending programming events that match viewer preferences, eliminating uninteresting content and offering deep content-specific filtering at the segment level, thus enhancing viewer satisfaction.

Problems solved by technology

A further shortcoming of the conventional technology is that program classification is limited to broadly defined subject categories that are typically not easily compared to an individual viewers' personal tastes.
However, for the viewer who is only interested in a particular sport, or a particular team, such classification is not effective in identifying programs of particular interest.

Abstract

A recording device may record a programming event by identifying timing data associated with the programming event within a closed caption data stream. The recording device may thereafter control recording of the programming event in accordance with the timing data. The control may involve initiating recording of the programming event. Related embodiments may pertain to devices implementing such processing. In alternative embodiments, a recording device may record a video programming event and a corresponding closed caption data stream, and thereafter control playback of the programming event in accordance with timing data included within the closed caption data stream. Such control may include skipping portions of the recorded video in accordance with the timing data.
