  • Publication number: 20240007705
    Abstract: A media guidance application is provided by which users can view program listings associated with programming that the user may access using other user equipment devices. The media guidance application, implemented on, for example, a remote system, may determine through communications with television equipment whether or not the television equipment is authorized to provide a particular package of television programming to be viewed by the user. For example, an online program guide application may determine whether or not television equipment allows a user to view particular channels and, based on that determination, proceed to determine what packages of programming the user subscribes to. A customized program guide may then be displayed based on what programming the user subscribes to on various systems.

  • Patent number: 10152315
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for live rule deployment with a deployment log. The method includes executing rules of a first rules package in response to one or more requests from applications. Also, the method includes receiving an identifier. The identifier is received from a configuration service, and the identifier identifies a location from which a latest rules package can be obtained. The method further includes determining, using the identifier, that a new rules package is available for deployment. Still yet, the method includes, in response to determining that the new rules package is available, requesting, using the location, a second rules package from a rules package manager. Further, the method includes receiving the second rules package from the rules package manager, and replacing the first rules package with the second rules package by deploying the second rules package.
