Migration of stored media through a media exchange network

摘要

Aspects of the invention provide a method and system for communicating information in a distributed media network. The communication of information in a distributed media network may include detecting availability of new media, data and/or service and migrating the newly available media, data and/or service to at least a first media processing system within the distributed media network. The migrated media, data and/or service may be stored at a first media processing system. If the stored media, data and/or service is to be processed, then the media, data and/or service may be migrated to a media view and/or a channel view associated with a media processing system. If the newly available migrated media, data and/or service is to be pushed, then the migrated media, data and/or service may be pushed to a second media processing system and/or a personal computer coupled to the media exchange network.

1. A method for communicating information in a distributed network, the method comprising:
detecting newly available new media that has been stored in a storage device of the distributed media network; based on detecting the new media, selecting said new media for migration; migrating said to at least a first media processing system within the distributed media network as migrated media; storing said migrated at said at least a first media processing system as stored media; determining to process said stored media; and based on the determination to process said stored media, automatically and without user intervention:
maintaining the stored media in the first media processing system;accessing one or more rules for scheduling the presentation of the media in a channel view;determining, based on the rules, a time to place the stored media in the channel view; andpushing said stored media to the channel view of at least one user;wherein when it is determined to not process the stored media by the first media processing system, the stored media is transmitted to an archiving storage device for archival storage of the stored media without pushing the stored media to the channel view.
