Abstract: A program recommendation system employing a program record module and one of various nearest neighbor modules is disclosed. In response to a reception of a program record, the program record module converts each key field of the program record into a feature value. A single neighbor module selectively generates a recommendation of a program corresponding to the program record based upon a stored program record qualifying as a nearest neighbor of the received program record. A multiple neighbor module selectively generates a recommendation of the program corresponding to the program record based upon N number of stored program records qualifying as N number of nearest neighbors of the received program record. A neighbor cluster selectively generates a recommendation of the program corresponding to the program record based upon the cluster of stored program records qualifying as the nearest neighbor of the received program record.

Abstract: A light control picture frame system and method including a processor (300) responsive to a user input signal (350), generating a display signal (352), and generating a transmitter signal (354); a picture frame display (304) responsive to the display signal (352); a user input device (312) generating the user input signal (350) responsive to a user; and a light signal transmitter (308) responsive to the transmitter signal (354).

Abstract: A program recommendation system employing a plurality of classifier modules is disclosed. In response to a reception of a record corresponding to a program, a classifier module correlated to a programming category indicated by the record as corresponding to the program will generate a recommendation of the program or each classifier module generates a recommendation of the program when the record fails to indicate a programming category corresponding to the program. When multiple recommendations are generated, a program record module of the system ranks the recommendations and utilizes the highest rank recommendation for the program.
