  • Publication number: 20160373803
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes: retrieving data relevant to a first screen of an electronic program guide; generating a graphical user interface using the retrieved data, in which: a first node identifies the first screen; second nodes identify second screens accessed after the first screen, each of the second nodes being positioned to one side of the first node; the first node is connected to each of the second nodes by connectors, each of the connectors pointing towards each of the second nodes and having a width proportional to a volume of navigation flow received by each of the second nodes from the first node; wherein at least one node comprises a visual indication indicating an average time spent by the users on an identified screen of the electronic program guide; and rendering the generated graphical user interface on a display screen of the computing device.

  • Publication number: 20030058872
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for processing packetized data or packets through a communications switch using a Fast Flow-Forwarding (“FFF”) system. FFF provides expedited forwarding of packets based on pattern matching and data manipulation rules that cross protocol layer boundaries. More specifically, the present invention provides a method for processing a packet in which the packet is received and processed using one or more transformation rules whenever the packet satisfies one or more identification rules. Otherwise, the packet is processed using a standard process whenever the packet does not satisfy the one or more identification rules. This method can be implemented using a computer program having a code segment to execute each step of the method.
