Abstract:
A method for generating ad hoc video stream channels is implemented on at least one computing device and includes: receiving a multiplicity of incoming user video feeds, where schedules for the incoming user video feeds are unknown; classifying the multiplicity of incoming user video feeds according to at least a genre; selecting at least one incoming video feed from among the multiplicity of incoming user video feeds for inclusion in at least one video stream channel, where the selecting is according to selection criteria, and the selection criteria are based at least on the classifying; generating at least one outgoing video stream for the at least one video stream channel according to the selecting; and delivering the at least one outgoing video stream to presentation devices.
Abstract:
Various embodiments utilize a portable electronic device determining the relative physical location of a connected device and displaying a location indicator on a display of the portable electronic device. This location indicator can “point” to the connected device and provide an indication as to how far away the connected device is. The portable electronic device can facilitate user interaction with the connected device.

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.
