TECHNIQUE FOR IDENTIFYING FAVORITE PROGRAM CHANNELS FOR RECEIVING ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAMMING CONTENT OVER A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK |
摘要 |
A favorites list of program channels which a cable TV user likely prefers is generated automatically from which the user may select a program channel to watch. Each program channel in the favorites list is identified based on a measure of the duration in which the program channel is continuously tuned to. In an embodiment, this measure varies nonlinearly with such a duration. The favorites list may further comprise sublists of program channels which may correspond to different periods of a day, week, etc. The favorites list may be generated from programs watched on multiple viewing devices.
