  • Patent number: 9532100
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application that presents an appropriate audio cue based on a search request received from a user. For example, the media guidance application may determine that a media asset corresponding to the search request is of particular relevance to the user (e.g., it belongs to the user's favorite genre). The media guidance application may then determine an audio cue (e.g., a well-known sound effect) associated with the media asset and generate the audio cue for presentation. The media guidance application may also determine an animated image cue associated with the media asset and generate that for display as well. This may allow users, especially those with vision-related disabilities, to more easily identify media assets that may be particularly relevant to them.

  • Publication number: 20070288506
    Abstract: A method and system for importing data comprising the downloading of product data from different sources and in different formats; processing the downloaded data by at least comparing it with data downloaded and stored in a product database; and reviewing the results of the comparison to detect differences in the data, the differences potentially being errors. The system and methods further comprise connecting the downloaded data from its supplier specific format into a standard format; comparing the downloaded data in the standard format with a previously downloaded data set saved in the standard format; categorizing the product data based on the results of the second comparison; and processing each category of data independently to automatically update the product database.
