  • Patent number: 7640258
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for gathering and aggregating operational metrics (e.g., performance metrics, process events, health monitor state, server state) for a plurality of members as a single entity and for a plurality of entities as a singular entity. The system and method provides for operational metrics of members and entities to be aggregated and retrieved as a single result set, such that entity wide operational metrics can be acquired, monitored and displayed as a single entity.

  • Patent number: 7516140
    Abstract: Raw media metadata can be packaged as dense media metadata via a compression operation. In a described implementation, metadata for a media item is defined with a media item entry that references instances of property values in one or more property tables.

  • Publication number: 20080127241
    Abstract: To store community program ratings, a rating for a program is received and an identification of whether the rating is a private rating for the user or is a rating that can be accessed by a plurality of other users is made. The rating and an indication of whether the rating is a private rating for the user or is a rating that can be accessed by a plurality of other users are sent to a community rating system for storage. To retrieve community program ratings, a request for a rating of a community for a program is received. User ratings for the program are accessed, the user ratings being ratings previously submitted by users in the community that were not identified as being private, and are presented to the user.

  • Publication number: 20080022308
    Abstract: Pre-populated search results in electronic program guide (EPG) data is described. In an embodiment, EPG data includes asset information which corresponds to a media content asset where a value is associated with a descriptor category to describe the media content asset, and a tag is associated with the value to pre-populate a search result by identifying related media content assets which are related to the value. The EPG data that includes the asset information can be communicated to a television-based client device to pre-populate the search result such that, upon receiving a viewer-initiated search request at the television-based client device to identify related media content assets associated with the value, a display of the related media content assets associated with the value and identified by the tag can be generated from the EPG data at the television-based client device.

  • Patent number: 7111059
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for gathering and aggregating operational metrics (e.g., performance metrics, process events, health monitor state, server state, event metric data, and status metric data) for a plurality of members (e.g., computers, servers, machines) configured as an entity and for a plurality of entities as a singular entity. In one embodiment, the system and method provides for operational metrics of members and entities to be aggregated and retrieved as a single result set, such that entity wide operational metrics can be acquired, monitored and displayed as a single entity. In one embodiment, at least one of the plurality of members has a gathering and aggregation system adapted to gather operational metric data from the plurality of members and aggregate the operational metric data into a unified result set.
