Patent

CA 2509653

The present invention generally relates to conflict management resolution. Typically systems for resolving conflicts between television programs with coinciding broadcast schedules use preferences, a confusing and limited display, or a combination thereof. The present invention, on thee other hand, provides for determining time spans or time slices, that indicate the duration of the conflict, and uses these to determine the available recording options. These can then be displayed in a user friendly interface, that is easy to understand and simple to use. In addition, other example embodiments ensure that the various programs and/or available options are capable of being cycled through, regardless of preference settings.

L'invention porte sur la résolution des conflits et en particulier sur des conflits entre programmes de télévision dont les préférences des programmes de diffusion coïncident ou dont la présentation prête à confusion ou est limitée, ou les deux. Par ailleurs l'invention permet de déterminer des créneaux ou intervalles de temps indiquant la durée du conflit, et de les utiliser pour déterminer les options d'enregistrement disponibles que l'on peut les présenter dans une interface conviviale facile à comprendre et simple à utiliser. En outre d'autres exécutions en exemple garantissent que les différents programmes et/ou les options disponibles peuvent passer par un cycle complet, indépendamment des réglages préférentiels.
