Method and system for enabling data-rich interactive television using broadcast database

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
• receive, via a computing device, an indication of a query to be executed at the computing device;
• determine, based on the query, a portion of content listings of a plurality of stored content listings, wherein the portion of content listings is to be processed by the computing device based on execution of the query at the computing device;
• generate, based on the portion of the content listings and the indication of the query, a plurality of modules configured to facilitate execution of the query at the computing device, wherein the plurality of modules comprises:
• one or more data modules that comprises an indication of the portion of the content listings, and
• a code module that facilitates execution of the query for determination of result data;
• and
• cause transmission, to the computing device, of the plurality of modules.

A system comprising:

• a first computing device;
• and
• a second computing device;
• wherein the first computing devices comprises:
• one or more first processors;
• and
• first memory storing first executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the first computing device to:
• receive, via the second computing device, an indication of a query to be executed at the second computing device;
• determine, based on the query, a portion of content listings of a plurality of stored content listings, wherein the portion of content listings is to be processed by the second computing device based on execution of the query at the second computing device;
• generate, based on the portion of the content listings and the indication of the query, a plurality of modules configured to facilitate execution of the query at the second computing device, wherein the plurality of modules comprises:
• one or more data modules that comprises an indication of the portion of the content listings, and
• a code module that facilitates execution of the query for determination of result data;
• and
• cause transmission, to the second computing device, of the plurality of modules;
• and
• wherein the second computing device comprises:
• one or more second processors;
• and
• second memory storing second executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the second computing device to:
• receive the plurality of modules;
• and
• execute, based on the plurality of modules, the query.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause:

• receiving, by a first computing device and via a second computing device, an indication of a query to be executed at the second computing device;
• determining, by the first computing device and based on the query, a portion of content listings of a plurality of stored content listings, wherein the portion of content listings is to be processed by the second computing device based on execution of the query at the second computing device;
• generating, by the first computing device and based on the portion of the content listings and the indication of the query, a plurality of modules configured to facilitate execution of the query at the second computing device, wherein the plurality of modules comprises:
• one or more data modules that comprises an indication of the portion of the content listings, and
• a code module that facilitates execution of the query for determination of result data;
• and
• causing transmission, by the first computing device and to the second computing device, of the plurality of modules.
