Abstract
A device automatically tunes to a viewer preferred data choice from among a plurality of available data choices. The device receives attribute content for a plurality of available data choices. The device includes a processor configured to enable a viewer to rank attribute preferences, compare the attribute content with the ranked attribute preferences, and automatically present the data choice with attribute content corresponding to the highest ranked attribute preference. The system is applicable to television receivers and radio receivers.
Claims19
A device for automatically tuning to a user preferred data choice from among a plurality of available data choices, comprising:
- an interface for receiving attribute content for a plurality of available data choices;
- and
- a processor configured to execute at least one process, comprising:
- means to enable a user to rank attribute preferences in ranked order, means to compare the attribute content with the attribute preferences in ranked order of attribute preferences, identifying at least one attribute of the received attribute content matching a highest ranked attribute preference, and
- means to present, automatically, a data choice with the identified attribute content.
A method of automatically tuning to a preferred data choice, comprising the steps of:
- creating a ranked list of attribute preferences;
- accessing attribute content for each of a plurality of available data choices;
- comparing the retrieved attribute content to the ranked list of attribute preferences;
- and
- automatically tuning to the data choice with attribute content matching the highest ranked attribute preference.
A machine readable electronic carrier, having encoded thereon process code, wherein, when the process code is executed by a machine, the machine implements a method for automatically tuning to a preferred data choice from among a plurality of available data choices, the method comprising the steps of:
- creating a ranked list of attribute preferences;
- accessing attribute content for each of a plurality of available data choices;
- comparing attribute content to the ranked list of attribute preferences;
- and
- automatically tuning to the data choice with attribute content corresponding to the highest ranked attribute preference.
