20120066716 | METHOD FOR CREATING A PERSONALIZED SUBSCRIBER CHANNEL AND VIDEO PROCESSING DEVICE FOR USE THEREWITH - Media content is received from at least one external device that is coupled to a video processing device. Subscriber channel content is generated based on the media content. The subscriber channel content is transferred to a video distribution network to produce a personalized subscriber channel. | 03-15-2012 |
20150046951 | INTELLIGENT URL SYSTEM FOR RECOMMENDING VIDEO PROGRAMS - An addressing format, or intelligent Uniform Resource Locator (IURL), is used to direct users amongst content across disparate sources. Information about media content items available across the disparate sources is managed by a server which relates the media content items and the different sources from which a media content item may be accessed in a database. When a user desires to share media content, an iURL referencing the media content is generated for the user to share. When a given user selects the iURL, information about the content sources available to the given user in conjunction with the content referenced by the iURL are processed to determine a configuration of the content sources available to the given user (which often differs from the user having shared the content) to effect playback the media content. | 02-12-2015 |
