Abstract
Systems and methods for providing a dynamic delay factor for using a remote control. A plurality of remote-control button presses are received by from a user. At least one button press time associated with the plurality of remote-control button presses is determined. A delay factor is generated for the user based on the at least one button press time. And at least one content receiver event, such as a wait time for a next button press or a length of time to display a menu, is employed based on the generated delay factor.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of remote-control button presses on a remote control by a user;
- determining at least one button press time associated with the plurality of remote-control button presses;
- determining a physical distance between separate buttons on the remote control associated with the plurality of remote-control button presses;
- generating a delay factor for the user based on the at least one button press time and the physical distance between the separate buttons;
- adjusting the delay factor based on feedback received from the user;
- and
- employing at least one content receiver event based on the adjusted delay factor.
(canceled)
A content receiver, comprising:
- a memory that stores computer instructions;
- and
- a processor system that executes the computer instructions to:
- identify a user of the content receiver;
- select a delay factor for the user;
- customize a user experience for the user when using the content receiver based on the selected delay factor for the user;
- receive feedback from the user on the user experience;
- and
- modify the delay factor based on the received feedback.
(canceled)
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a content receiver, cause the at least one processor to perform actions, the actions comprising:
- identifying a user of the content receiver;
- determining at least one button press time associated with a plurality of remote-control button presses by the user;
- obtaining a delay factor for the user based on the at least one button press time;
- and
- customizing a user experience for the user when using the content receiver based on the delay factor for the user, including:
- setting an amount to time at which to display information to the user based on the generated delay factor.
