| 20080235731 | User defined rules for assigning destinations of content - A media guidance application is provided by which users can define rules for assigning user equipment devices as destinations for media content. For example, a user may define a rule by which selected media content having attributes that satisfy a user-defined condition are downloaded, recorded, or streamed to a particular, user-specified user equipment device. The user may define and manage rules using media guidance menus, and may restrict other users from accessing the rules (e.g., parents restricting children). | 09-25-2008 |
| 20100121714 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING ADVANCED INFORMATION SEARCHING IN AN INTERACTIVE MEDIA GUIDANCE APPLICATION - The present invention relates to an interactive media guidance application that provides improved searching functionality for media information, such as media program listings, media programming information, celebrity information, and other related media information. Search objects may be defined in the entertainment context and applied to media information to enable efficient searching. Different types of media information may be categorized to enable proper organization of search results. A search object query may be performed based on a user entered search expression and the results may be a vertical slice through the organized categories of media information. User submitted tags may also be applied to the media information and used to search the media information. Atomic searching may be enabled for more generic search expressions, whereby an atomic search object is associated with a personalized atomic search algorithm comprised of individual searches. The search algorithm is determined by receiving both user metrics and editorial input. Context sensitive searching may also be provided by defining search objects with different context settings and determining a context setting of the user initiated search. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20110225015 | INTERACTIVE CALENDAR OF SCHEDULED WEB-BASED EVENTS - A system for generating an interactive calendar guide to scheduled online events is described. The guide can be presented in any format, including a grid view and a list view, within various media, including at a website hosting the interactive guide and as a widget on a computer display. A user can interact with elements of the guide, select elements of the guide for more information, customize events presented in the guide, filter the results displayed in the guide, send a response to attend an event, go directly to an event from the guide, and modify the presentation format of the guide. | 09-15-2011 |

| 20100162140 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING A GUIDE TO ON-LINE EVENTS - Systems and methods for providing a guide to on-line content are provided. The guide may allow users to more easily find desirable on-line content such as on-line events. On-line events may include, for example, on-line events of formats such as chat sessions, simulchats, Webcasts, television programming enhancements, limited availability on-demand content, or any other suitable format of on-line event. The guide may provide users with the ability to filter listings for on-line events so that only listings of user-specified criteria are displayed. The guide may allow providers of on-line events to provide event information for use in providing on-line event listings or other guidance features. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100174776 | INTERACTIVE MEDIA CONTENT DELIVERY USING A BACKCHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - Interactive media guidance systems, devices, and methods that enable media content delivery and/or control by a media content user via a user equipment device capable of interfacing with a media content source using a backchannel network. | 07-08-2010 |

| 20090087408 | Stable, non-aqueous, single-phase gels and formulations thereof for delivery from an implantable device - The present invention provides a suspension vehicle and suspension formulations deliverable from an implantable delivery device. In particular, the suspension vehicle of the present invention allows the formulation of beneficial agent suspensions that are stable over time at ambient and physiological temperatures. In addition, the beneficial agent suspensions formed using the suspension vehicle of the present invention allow controlled delivery of beneficial agent from an implanted delivery device over sustained periods of time, even when such delivery occurs at low flow rates, through a small-diameter delivery channel. Also included in the present invention are implantable delivery devices. | 04-02-2009 |
