Abstract
A system for recalling surfed channels includes functionality that stores identifications of surfed channels and recalls each of the surfed channels in response to a user pressing a button on a device.
Claims44
A method for recalling surfed channels, the method comprising the steps of:
- storing identifications of surfed channels;
- and
- recalling each of the surfed channels in response to a user pressing a button on a device.
A method for recalling surfed channels, the method comprising the steps of:
- storing a pointer to a configured number of surfed channels;
- and
- recalling each of the configured number of surfed channels in response to a user pressing a button on a remote control device.
A method for recalling surfed channels, the method comprising the steps of:
- storing at least three identifications of surfed channels in a short term surfed channel list;
- and
- recalling each of the surfed channels corresponding to the at least three identifications in response to a user pressing a button on a device.
A method for recalling surfed channels, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a user interface screen to enable a user to configure at least one of a number of surfed channels that can be recalled, a chronological order that the surfed channels can be recalled, a minimum threshold duration that a channel should be tuned to in order to be considered a surfed channel eligible for being recalled, and a duration of storing identifications of the surfed channels;
- storing the identifications of the surfed channels;
- and
- recalling each of the surfed channels corresponding to the stored identifications in response to a user pressing a button on a remote control device.
A system for recalling surfed channels, the system comprising:
- a memory with logic;
- and
- a processor configured with the logic to store identifications of surfed channels, wherein the processor is further configured with the logic to recall each of the surfed channels in response to a user pressing a button on a device.
A system for recalling surfed channels, the system comprising:
- a memory with logic;
- and
- a processor configured with the logic to store a pointer to a configured number of surfed channels, wherein the processor is further configured with the logic to recall each of the configured number of surfed channels in response to a user pressing a button on a remote control device.
A system for recalling surfed channels, the system comprising:
- a memory with logic;
- and
- a processor configured with the logic to store at least three identifications of surfed channels in a short term surfed channel list, wherein the processor is further configured with the logic to recall each of the surfed channels corresponding to the stored identifications in response to a user pressing a button on a device.
