CA 2672648

A method and apparatus for transparent data collection from a network for electronic program guide-like applications is provided. The method includes the detection of a file system command issued by an application program. Once detected, if the detected command requests broadcast object carousel data, the method collects the requested broadcast object carousel data from a network. Once collected, the broadcast object carousel data may be provided to the application program to provide transparent collection of broadcast object carousel data. To provide transparent collection of broadcast object carousel data, in one embodiment a client driver is installed under an operating system within an input/output (I/O) system layer. The client driver may be mounted in a mount point to register standard file system operation function calls for collecting broadcast object carousel program guide data. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
