| 摘要 |
A method of capture of program metadata in near real time consistent with certain embodiments involves monitoring remote control commands to detect an activate command that activates a mode of operation having potential for selection of a program; upon receipt of the activate command, further monitoring remote control commands for a selection command that selects a program; upon receipt of the selection command, issuing an information command that causes an access device to generate a video frame containing metadata associated with the program; and optical character recognition (OCR) processing the video frame containing the metadata relating to the program in order to extract the metadata associated with the program. The process can be carried out by a control device that is not a target device of at least one of the activate and selection commands, wherein the control device can respond to multiple remote command sets. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
