| 20090165048 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR PRESENTING GUIDE LISTINGS AND GUIDANCE DATA IN THREE DIMENSIONS IN AN INTERACTIVE MEDIA GUIDANCE APPLICATION - Methods and devices for presenting guide listings and guidance data in three dimensions in an interactive media guidance application are provided. In some embodiments, methods for presenting guide listings and guidance data in three dimensions in an interactive media guidance application are provided, the methods comprising: presenting guide listings in a two-dimensional configuration; receiving a user selection of at least one of the guide listings in the two-dimensional configuration; identifying guidance data related to the selection; and presenting the guidance data so that the guidance data appears to be in a third dimension relative to the two-dimensional configuration. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090313658 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISPLAYING MEDIA CONTENT AND MEDIA GUIDANCE INFORMATION - A system comprises television equipment and a number of portable electronic devices. The television equipment includes a large display and control circuitry. The control circuitry receives media content and media guidance data for display on the display. The control circuitry also includes communication components for communicating with the portable electronic devices. The portable electronic devices are operable for displaying video and communicating with the television equipment. A method comprises the steps of receiving media guidance information with a first portable electronic device; transmitting at least some of the media guidance information from the first portable electronic device to the control circuitry of the television equipment; and displaying the media guidance information from the first portable electronic device on the display of the television equipment while simultaneously displaying media content or media guidance information received from a source other than the first portable electronic device. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100146546 | ELECTRONIC PROGRAM GUIDE FOR MOBILE NAVIGATION DEVICE, DESTINATION INFORMATION PROVIDING METHOD, AND DEVICE - Provided is a method for providing target information related to a medium program. The method includes: a step that a user medium device receives a medium program containing destination information related to the medium program; a step that the user medium device extracts the destination information from the received medium program; a step that the user medium device transmits at least a part of the extracted destination information so that a user position identification device further performs processing on it; and a step that the user position identification device processes at least a part of the transmitted destination information. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20110078020 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING POPULAR AUDIO ASSETS - Systems and methods for providing audio asset information are presented. A media guidance system includes a data store containing audio asset information associated with a set of known audio assets. The media guidance system receives a number of requests to identify an audio asset embedded within a video program from a first group of users and stores an indication of the requested audio asset within the data store. The media guidance system then provides audio asset information associated with the requested audio asset to a second group of users. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110078172 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUDIO ASSET STORAGE AND MANAGEMENT - Systems and methods for providing audio asset information using an audio asset information storage system are provided. The storage system includes a data store containing video program information associated with a video program that embeds the known audio asset. The storage system receives a number of requests to identify the known audio asset and stores an indication of each request within the data store. The storage system provides at least a portion of audio asset information associated with the known audio asset to user equipment. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110078729 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING AUDIO CONTENT USING AN INTERACTIVE MEDIA GUIDANCE APPLICATION - Systems and methods for identifying audio using a media guidance application where a video program that includes one or more audio assets is received by user equipment. The user initiates a request to identify an audio asset playing within the video program and the audio asset is identified by processing data associated with the audio asset and data within a database of audio asset information associated with a plurality of known audio assets. The audio asset information associated with the identified audio asset is then provided to a user interface for display. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110078731 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MULTIPLE MEDIA GUIDANCE APPLICATION NAVIGATION - Systems and methods for allowing a user to access media guidance application settings from any given mobile device and centralize the settings using a media equipment device are provided. One or more mobile devices may be detected with a media equipment device. The media equipment device may receive mobile media guidance application settings from the detected mobile devices. The media equipment device may replicate a mobile media guidance application for each of the detected mobile devices based on the received settings. Access to the replicated mobile media guidance applications associated with the detected mobile devices may be provided on the media equipment device. Changes to the settings of the replicated mobile media guidance applications associated with the detected mobile devices may be tracked and transmitted to the corresponding mobile device. The mobile device may modify a mobile media guidance application based on the changes received from the media equipment device. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110202958 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING REMOTE ACCESS TO INTERACTIVE MEDIA GUIDANCE APPLICATIONS - Systems and methods for providing remote access to interactive media guidance applications are provided. In particular, the systems and methods for providing remote access to interactive media guidance applications provided herein generally relate to enhancing remote access capabilities by providing algorithms and techniques for managing and correcting disparities that may be found between program listings data used by the interactive media guidance application and the remote access server. | 08-18-2011 |
