Benefits of technology

This patent describes a system for providing a content-driven interface on a media system. The system includes a storage component that holds programming data for different time intervals, program names, and source content provider information. The system also has a display component that shows suggestions for programming based on the current time and the programming data. The suggestions can be hidden from view. The system can also have a management component that receives user selection of a programming suggestion and a communication component that sends signals based on the user selection. The system can also have a control portion and a program suggestion portion, with the control portion showing one half of the display and the program suggestion portion showing the other half. The system can also have a method for providing the content-driven interface and a method for transmitting signals based on user selection. The technical effects of this patent include providing a more efficient and effective way to interface with a media system and improving the user experience.

Problems solved by technology

However, this may not be desirable when a user desires to view specific content quickly or likes to jump from a high numbered channel to a low number channel, for example.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]Embodiments or examples, illustrated in the drawings are disclosed below using specific language. It will nevertheless be understood that the embodiments or examples are not intended to be limiting. Any alterations and modifications in the disclosed embodiments, and any further applications of the principles disclosed in this document are contemplated as would normally occur to one of ordinary skill in the pertinent art.

[0022]For one or more of the figures herein, one or more boundaries, such as boundary 814 of FIG. 8, for example, may be drawn with different heights, widths, perimeters, aspect ratios, shapes, etc. relative to one another merely for illustrative purposes, and are not necessarily drawn to scale. For example, because dashed or dotted lines may be used to represent different boundaries, if the dashed and dotted lines were drawn on top of one another they would not be distinguishable in the figures, and thus may be drawn with different dimensions or slightly apart...

Abstract

One or more embodiments of providing a content driven interface are provided herein. A storage component may house one or more programming data portions. Respective programming data portions may be associated with programming data for one or more time intervals, program names, and corresponding source content provider information. A display component may render one or more program suggestions based on a current time and one or more of the programming data portions. Respective program suggestions may be rendered based such that corresponding source content provider information is hidden. A management component may determine the current time and receive a user selection of a program suggestion of the one or more program suggestions. A communication component may transmit one or more signals based on the user selection of the program suggestion and corresponding source content provider information.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application, Ser. No. 62 / 014,952 entitled “UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL”, filed on Jun. 20, 2014; the entirety of the above-noted application is incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND[0002]Generally, remote controls and programming guides for media systems operate in a manner where channels are arranged in a numerical order (e.g., in ascending or descending order, by channel number), and a user may browse through electronic program guides (EPG) or EPG data in that fashion. However, this may not be desirable when a user desires to view specific content quickly or likes to jump from a high numbered channel to a low number channel, for example.BRIEF DESCRIPTION[0003]This brief description is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are described below in the detailed description. This brief description is not intended to be an extensive overview of...
