SYSTEM FOR REMOTELY CONTROLLING CLIENT RECORDING AND STORAGE BEHAVIOR

摘要

A system for remotely controlling client recording and storage behavior schedules the recording, storing, and deleting of multimedia content on a client system storage device. The viewer may request that certain content be captured. Capture requests also allow the service to determine content to be recorded by the client system in the same manner that a viewer requests that certain content are recorded but are more powerful than what a viewer can request. Recording requests for a capture request can preempt viewer requests or be entered at the same or lower priority as a viewer request. Capture requests can adjust all aspects of a recording request and affect the capture request itself. Client system operational functionality are also manipulated by the service using capture requests.

1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause performance of:
receiving, at a client device, a capture request from a server over a network, the capture request identifying specific media content for the client device to record, the capture request further setting a storage space to record the specific media content to, the storage space on a particular storage medium; receiving, by the client device, transmission of the specific media content identified in the capture request from a broadcast or communication link; based on the capture request, recording the specific media content received in the transmission to the storage space on the particular storage medium.
