Publication number: 20220030311Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically generating a playlist of series assets and systems and methods for grouping assets of a playlist in clusters are provided. In one embodiment, series assets may automatically be included into a playlist for that series. In another embodiment, an interactive media guidance application may group assets in clusters based on one or more user selected parameters or may group assets in cluster based on automatically determined parameters. In yet another embodiment, the interactive media guidance application may group assets in clusters and display at least one identifier in connection with each cluster to indicate a basis for forming the cluster. The identifier may be a key word or catch phrase that succinctly identifies a trait or characteristic of assets in a particular cluster associated with the identifier.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2021Publication date: January 27, 2022Inventors: Michael D.

Patent number: 9966111Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an interactive media guidance application for merging recorded video segments that are from the same program are provided. In response to a recording interruption, the interactive media guidance application may record multiple video segments. After recording the segments, the interactive media guidance application may search for and merge these segments to form a single recording. In some embodiments, the interactive media guidance application may detect the presence of a previously recorded segment. After detecting the previously recorded segment, the interactive media guidance application may automatically record the video following the end of the previously recorded segment. The interactive media guidance application may use data associated with the segments and other media cues to match the segments. The interactive media guidance application may also identify the duration of the recorded video content and provide choices for recording the video again.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2016Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Joshua Berry, Jia Jane Wu

Patent number: 8745320Abstract: Relatively small capacity solid-state storage devices (SSD) are combined with larger capacity magnetic disk storage devices for storing storage block write data to ensure data consistency. Write operations are stored in a sequential write buffer in an SSD to guarantee the storage of write data and then copied from the sequential write buffer to the destination address in a magnetic disk storage device. The sequential write buffer store write data in locations corresponding to the order of receipt of write operations. Write data from the sequential write buffer is transferred to the magnetic disk storage device in the same order and a checkpoint index is frequently updated to indicate the completion of some transfers. During system initialization, the most recent value of the checkpoint index is retrieved and used as a starting location for transferring write data from the sequential write buffer to the magnetic disk storage device.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2012Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Riverbed Technology, Inc.Inventors: Nitin Gupta, Kiron Vijayasankar, Joshua Berry

Publication number: 20130297854Abstract: Solid-state storage devices (SSD) are combined with larger capacity magnetic disk-based RAID arrays for storing write data to ensure data consistency across multiple RAID disks. Write operations are stored in a sequential write buffer in at least one SSD to guarantee their storage and then copied from the sequential write buffer to the destination address in RAID array. The sequential write buffer stores write data in locations corresponding to the order of receipt of write operations. Write data from the sequential write buffer is transferred to the RAID array in the same order and a checkpoint index is frequently updated to indicate the completion of some transfers. During system initialization, a copy of the sequential write buffer and its associated checkpoint index are retrieved and used as a starting location for transferring write data from the sequential write buffer to the magnetic disk storage devices in the RAID array.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2012Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicant: RIVERBED TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Nitin Gupta, Kiron Vijayasankar, Joshua Berry

Publication number: 20090165036Abstract: Systems and methods for deleting one or more program references (e.g., file pointer, bookmark, and reminder). Each program reference may have a value for one or more associated program reference attributes (e.g., GENRE or CONTENT RATING). A user may provide an input identifying a value for a program reference attribute, and a media system may then delete all stored program references (e.g., DVR recording handles and VOD bookmarks) having a matching value for that attribute. Values for more than one program reference attribute may be provided along with logical operators (e.g., AND, OR or XOR) for combining those values.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2007Publication date: June 25, 2009Applicant: Guideworks, LLCInventor: Joshua Berry
