  • Intuitive timer
    Patent number: 9467733
    Abstract: A method for determining a program of interest to a user and setting a timer to automatically record the program of interest. The method can interpret user inputs and watching habits, such as whether or not a user is present, to determine if a program being displayed for a user is a program of interest to the user. Once a program of interest is identified, a timer is set to record the next scheduled broadcast of the program of interest for the user. The user can then be notified, either before or after the timer is activated, that the automatic timer was set to record the program, and the user given the option of whether or not to keep the timer or recording.
