Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for providing user feedback to an action selection model. In an aspect, a method includes displaying interaction elements for recommendations selected by a selection model. Each interaction element may be selected by one of a first interaction mode or a second interaction mode. Selection by the first interaction mode indicates an acceptance of the recommendation described the interaction element. Selection by the second interaction mode causes the user device to display the decision data that caused the selection model to select the recommendation described by the interaction element. In some implementations, the recommendations are actions that a user device may perform. In other implementations, each recommendation may be one of an action that the user device may perform or content that a user may consume.

Abstract: A system and method for adjusting privacy protection for a user in a plurality of applications is disclosed. A privacy protection request is sent to a user device. In one embodiment, the request is displayed on user device in the form of a pop-up window. In another embodiment, the request is displayed in a privacy settings area. The privacy protection request includes a plurality of protection levels. Once a protection level is selected the protection level is sent back and received by the system. Privacy settings are adjusted according to the selected privacy protection level based on information stored in a master template. In some embodiments, the privacy protection level is translated to associated privacy settings. Once the privacy settings have been adjusted, the privacy settings are applied to a plurality of online applications associated with the user based on the privacy protection level selected.

Abstract: Apparatus, system and methods for a media plan managing interface are disclosed. A data hierarchy for a media plan is defined. The multilevel data hierarchy includes different levels for orders and placements. An input form is provided to receive modifications to the values in the different levels of the hierarchy. Any modifications of data are compared against the permitted inputs provided through a conditional input field. If the modifications are permitted inputs, then they are accepted and conditional input fields are set up for any subsequent data input. The data hierarchy is stored as a media plan.

Abstract: A system and technique is described for generating an advertising campaign based on an advertising campaign template. Template data is received from a first entity, the template data including advertising content and targeting criteria. An advertising campaign template is generated based on the template data and provided to a second entity. Customization data is provided by the second entity. An online advertising campaign is generated for the second entity based on the advertising campaign template and the customization data.

Abstract: A remote control system including a hand held remote control unit with an alphanumeric information display, for controlling and communicating with a first controlled device, such as a digital music tuner connected to a community antenna television (CATV) cable, and for controlling a selected one of a plurality of second controlled devices, such as CATV set-top units, VCRs, or television sets. A first, high speed, error free display information communications protocol is utilized for transmitting program content or other information from a device, such as the CATV-connected music tuner, to the remote control unit for display. A second or control communications protocol is utilized by the remote control unit for controlling the first controlled device and a selected one of the second controlled devices. The CATV cable-connected music tuner utilizes the 44.

Abstract: A television system having sync suppression scrambling and descrambling which includes in band and out of band signaling methods. The in band signaling method modulates the IF sound carrier of a premium video channel with timing and data pulses while the out of band signaling method modulates the previously modulated IF sound on a separate carrier onto a separate out of band data carrier. The in band signaling method uses a descrambler which tunes a channel before demodulating the timing and data pulses from the sound carrier while the out of band signaling method tunes a selected data carrier to demodulate the timing and data pulses. In both methods, the timing pulses are used to restore the levels of the synchronization pulses in the sync suppressed video signal, and thus descramble the signal, while the data pulses are used for addressable messaging to the descrambler including authorization.

Abstract: Networks which remove the jamming signal from the television signal supplied to subscribers for a premium T.V. channel in a cable (CATV) or other subscription television system utilizes surface accoustic wave (SAW) devices arranged to provide a broadband all pass response across the entire band covered by all of the transmitted television channels except for a notch at the frequency of the jamming signal. The narrow band response of the filter in the premium channel is such that the notch presents insertion loss at the jamming signal frequency and over a frequency range to accommodate shifts in the frequency response of the SAW devices with respect to the frequency of jamming signal, which insertion loss is about 100 times the insertion loss at the picture carrier frequency of the television signal, even though the picture carrier and the jamming signal frequency may be within about 200 KHz apart from each other.

Abstract: Method and apparatus is disclosed for programming a CATV channel authorization unit. In a cable television (CATV) system, a CATV transmitter provides a plurality of CATV system channels to a channel authorization unit which in turn supplies only selected ones of the system channels to a user. The CATV authorization unit determines which selected channels the user will receive by receiving channel authorization data from a CATV system programmer. The channel authorization data is received via an infrared data communication link such that programming can be done without physical disassembly of the CATV channel authorization unit and without the system programmer being physically present within the users household. In a further embodiment, the CATV channel authorization unit is also responsive to a user transmitter for determining which of the selected channels the user is presently viewing.
