Method and system for providing a transition between linear content and non-linear content

摘要

A method and system may include sending a non-linear content signal to cause display of non-linear content at a display device, identifying a termination identifier associated with display of the non-linear content, and sending a graphical user interface signal to cause display of a graphical user interface that includes a current location field and a previous location field. The system and method may further include receiving a selection request selecting one of the current location field and the previous location field.

1. A method comprising:
sending, by a device, a linear content signal to cause display of linear content at a display device; determining, by the device and based on guide data, that at least one non-linear content is associated with the linear content displayed at the display device,
the guide data including a linear content identifier identifying the linear content and at least one non-linear content identifier identifying the at least one non-linear content; determining, by the device, whether the device includes recording capabilities to record the linear content; causing, by the device, the display device to display a first graphical user interface when the device does not include the recording capabilities,
the linear content being displayed via the first graphical user interface,the first graphical user interface including information identifying the at least one non-linear content, a first field that causes the at least one non-linear content to be retrieved after a period of time, and a second field that causes a reminder regarding the at least one non-linear content to be created; causing, by the device, the display device to exit display of the linear content at a particular point and to display a second graphical user interface when the device includes the recording capabilities,
the at least one non-linear content being displayed via the second graphical user interface,the second graphical user interface including a third field that causes the display device to display information regarding at least one of a product or a service relating to the at least one non-linear content; detecting, by the device, an end of display of the at least one non-linear content; causing, by the device and based on detecting the end of the display of the at least one non-linear content, the display device to display of a third graphical user interface that includes:
a fourth field that causes live broadcast linear content to be displayed, anda fifth field that causes the linear content to be displayed from the particular point; and causing, by the device, the display device to selectively display:
the live broadcast linear content when the fourth field is selected, orthe linear content from the particular point when the fifth field is selected.
