Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a server having a controller to access multiple media content in response to a request to record the multiple media content from a first communication device, adjust a format of at least a portion of the multiple media content based at least in part on a user profile associated with the first communication device, and compile the adjusted multiple media content for delivery. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims25
A computer-readable storage medium comprising computer instructions for:
- receiving from a first communication device a request for recording multiple media content;
- accessing each of the multiple media content;
- accessing a user profile associated with the first communication device;
- adjusting a format of at least a portion of the multiple media content based at least in part on the user profile;
- and
- concatenating the adjusted multiple media content for delivery.
A server comprising a controller to:
- access multiple media content in response to a request to record the multiple media content from a first communication device;
- adjust a format of at least a portion of the multiple media content based at least in part on a user profile associated with the first communication device;
- and
- compile the adjusted multiple media content for delivery.
A set top box comprising a controller adapted to:
- transmit to a server a request for recording multiple media content;
- transmit to the server a playback request associated with the multiple media content;
- receive a compilation of the multiple media content, the received compilation of the multiple media content having a format adjusted based on a user profile associated with the set top box;
- and
- present the compilation of the multiple media content on a display device.
A mobile communication device comprising a controller to:
- transmit to a server a request for recording media content;
- and
- transmit to the server a playback request associated with the media content, the playback request being for presentation of the media content on a display device of a set top box, the media content having a format adjusted by the server based on a user profile associated with the mobile communication device and the set top box.
A method, comprising:
- accessing multiple media content in response to a request to record the multiple media content from a user of a first communication device;
- adjusting a format of at least a portion of the multiple media content based at least in part on user preferences associated with the first communication device and a second communication device associated with the user;
- and
- compiling the adjusted multiple media content for delivery.
