Abstract
An intelligent television can store and retrieve data about various functions of the television or associated with user behavior. The stored data streamlines the processes of providing electronic programming guide information, providing search results, providing statistics about content, providing channel information, etc. The unique set of data services in the intelligent television receive, store, manage, and retrieve the data for various of the applications or components.
Claims18
A method for managing data associated with an intelligent television, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the intelligent television, an indication to begin a first time experience for a user of the intelligent television, wherein the first time experience is a first interaction between the user and the intelligent television before providing content from a live television source;
- in response to the indication, automatically determining, by the intelligent television, one or more live television sources from a plurality live television sources, each live television source providing live television content produced and broadcasted in real-time, the live television sources comprising both an antenna and a port interface;
- automatically scanning, by the intelligent television, in the background, for presence of one or more live television channels of the one or more live television sources on both the antenna and the port interface;
- and
- providing, by the intelligent television, a list of the live television channels based on the presence of one or more live television channels on the antenna and the port interface.
An intelligent television system comprising:
- a memory operable to store channel data;
- a processor in communication with the memory, the processor operable to:
- execute a live television source plug-in operable to:
- receive an indication to begin a first time experience for a user of the intelligent television system, wherein the first time experience is a first interaction between the user and the intelligent television system before providing content from a live television source;
- in response to the indication, automatically determine, by the intelligent television system, one or more live television sources from a plurality live television sources, each live television source providing live television content produced and broadcasted in real-time, the live television sources comprising both an antenna and a port interface;
- automatically scan, in the background, for presence of one or more live television channels of the one or more live television sources on both the antenna and the port interface;
- and
- execute a user interface application in communication with the live television source plug-in, the user interface application operable to provide a list of the live television channels based on the presence of one or more live television channels on the antenna and the port interface.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon processor executable instructions that cause a computing system to execute a method, the instructions comprising:
- instructions to receive an indication to begin a first time experience for a user of an intelligent television, wherein the first time experience is a first interaction between the user and the intelligent television before providing content from a live television source;
- in response to the indication, instructions to automatically determine one or more live television sources from a plurality live television sources, each live television source providing live television content produced and broadcasted in real-time, the live television sources comprising both an antenna and a port interface;
- instructions to automatically scan, in the background, for presence of one or more live television channels of the one or more live television sources on both the antenna and the port interface;
- and
- instructions to provide a list of the live television channels based on the presence of one or more live television channels on the antenna and the port interface.
