`
`Overview
`
`The WishList features enables TiVo to find shows that meet a set of user defined criteria. The user may define multiple
`WishLists, and optionally, get a season pass to each WishList. The following describes the major functions of WishLists:
`
`- Auto-record - the user may auto—record programs matching the WishList
`
`~ Multiple WishLists
`
`- Continuous Search — TiVo is always reading the latest program guide data to find matching programs
`
`~
`
`Immediate Search — the user may request to see all upcoming showings in a WishList
`
`- Complex Searches — a search may include the following elements: A genre and (actor, director, or keywords). Note that
`there may be multiple keywords that are ANDed together.

`
`Behaviors
`
`1.
`
`Recording Options may be set for the WishList auto-record choice. Some of the options have different defaults than
`regular season passes. See the Recording Options specification.
`
`A WishList Auto—recording can be prioritized relative to all other Season Passes. By default new WishLists are
`prioritized lowest.
`
`When editing a WishList, items on the To Do list might be removed. If items on the To Do list are there for other reasons
`(part of another WishList, an explicit, a season pass) then those items should not be deleted. As a hidden feature, the user can
`upgrade a show to an explicit by saving it longer.
`
`Explicit recordings on the To Do list don’t get Season Pass or WishList auto-record icons because canceling the SP does
`not and should not cancel the explicit recording.
`
`When editing a WishList or deleting a WishList, items in Now Playing should not be deleted if they are no longer part of
`the WishList.
`
`Existing WishLists can be accessed in these ways:
`
`- Search using WishLists screen
`
`- You can select a show that is planned for recording as a result of a WishList. At the bottom of the Find Actions
`screen is a link to View WishList. If the show is part of multiple WishLists, then you first go to the Choose
`WishList screen.
`
`- If there are no upcoming shows for a WishList and you are auto-recording that WishList, you can find the
`WishList at the bottom of the To Do list.
`
`If you are auto-recording a WishList, you can access the WishList from the Season Pass Manager screen.
`
`PPVs (with the exception of shows in the sports category) are not recorded by WishList auto-recording requests. If you
`are auto-recording a WishList, and the WishList finds a PPV, that PPV will not record automatically, unless the PPV
`genre is SPORTS. (This is because a viewer may have paid for a large sports PPV package and expect a WishList to find
`it all).
`
`The scheduler will not record a prograrn/episode that is in Now Playing again. Nor will it schedule two recordings for the
`same program/episode. However, if the user or TiVo has deleted the program, it might be recorded again. We can
`anticipate that this behavior will be a negative for WishList auto-recording.
`
`10.
`
`CLEAR goes to the Cancel WishList, except from Choose Actor/Director/Keyword screens. On these screen CLEAR
`deletes all text in the type in box. If a user hits CLEAR and then exits the screen the text should remain so as to not create
`a blank WishList.

`
`Naming A WishList
`
`WishList names are derived from the elements in the WishList. The WishList name appears on the Season Pass Manager
`screen, Search using WishList, and Choose WishList.
`
`The names are formulated as follows:
`
`- WishList: <category>/<list of directors>/</list of actors>/keywords. A slash should go between each element
`
`- The categories should show only the leaf category.
`
`- The directors and actors should be written as follows: Last name, First name. The names should be capitalized.
`
`- The keywords should have single quotation marks around them and be written in lower case.
`
`Examples:
`
`0 WishList: Sports - user picked the category sports
`
`- WishList: Speilberg, Steven
`
`0 WishList: "fire fighting"
`
`- WishList: Movie/Speilberg, Steven
`
`Graphic Design
`
`Issues
`
`1 . Bug 10063 - On Choose Actor/Director/Keyword screens CLEAR deletes all text in the type in box. If a user hits CLEAR
`and then exits the screen they should get an error message telling them they can not create an empty WishList
`
`2. The option to View all umoming WishList programs may not be doable for 2.0 as spec’ed. It may not include the WishList
`names before each section of programs returned. If this aggregation screen doesn’t get in at all, the functionality of this
`feature is significantly reduced.

`Proposal submitted by
`Dave lockette lockette@tivo.com
`
`Andy Goodman aggodman@tivo.com
`Jean kao
`j1<ao@tivo.com
`
`Title of the proposal
`Multi channel system independent media processor
`
`Disclosure external to TiVo:
`
`Invention have been built into Teralogic 810/ 820 device.
`The design has been disclosed to Teralogic during technical discussion. Also
`the high
`level description code (i.e. verilog HTL) is stored in Teralogic's computer.
`Invention also have been disclosed to Hughes Network system corp.
`
`Related invention proposals, patents
`TiVo media processor, (note: I will refer it as such. It should be replaced
`with
`
`whatever official patent name we call it)
`
`ABSTRACT
`
`Current media processor work great with one media stream and has to be at the
`data path of the media stream it is processing. The new processor is intended to
`be
`
`flexibly add to an system with existing complicated hardware. With this
`invention,
`
`the tivo media processor is small hardware addition, either as an block to a
`developing device or as a new device to a system. This proposal enable an way
`to
`
`enhance an audio video system with tivo media technology.
`
`DESCRIPTION
`
`The design contains five major blocks: system interface, media stream
`identifier,
