Abstract

A system (10) that provides information about media content (Fig. 4) stored in a storage device (373) coupled to an interactive media services client device (16). In one embodiment, the system includes a memory with logic, and a processor (344) configured with the logic to provide a symbol that represents the duration of at least one media content instance of a plurality of media content instances stored in the storage device. Preferably, the processor (344) is further configured with the logic to provide a recorded portion in the symbol that represents the portion of the media content instance that is accessible (430) to a user.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of providing a pointer in the symbol that represents a location within the media content instance.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein the pointer provides the user with an indication of what portion of the media content instance the user is viewing.
4. The method of claim 2, wherein the pointer is a triangle that is colored yellow.
5. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of providing an inaccessible portion in the symbol that represents the inaccessible portion of the media content instance.
6. The method of claim 5, wherein the inaccessible portion is colored red.
7. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of providing a remaining portion that represents the duration of the media content instance that is remaining to be downloaded into the storage device as time advances.
8. The method of claim 7, wherein the remaining portion is clear colored based on a user selected color from a user setting.
9. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of providing an arrow that indicates when other media content instances are stored in the storage device.
45
10. The method of claim 9, wherein the arrow points in the direction in time the user must navigate to find the other media content instances.
11. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of providing a status clock that provides the user with an indication of what time in the media content instance the user is viewing if the user was viewing the media content instance in real-time.
12. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of providing a current time clock that provides the current time.
13. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of providing a title for the media content instance.
14. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of providing a scheduled viewing time for the media content instance.
15. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of displaying the symbol on a screen of a display device.
16. The method of claim 16, further comprising the step of overlaying the symbol on the screen display of the media content instance.
17. The method of claim 16, further comprising the step of presenting the symbol in response to a command by the user, wherein the command is delivered from a remote control device.
18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recorded portion is colored green.
19. The method of claim 1, wherein the symbol is presented with a pause banner, wherein the pause banner is overlaid on a display of the media content instance.
20. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of providing the symbol for each of the plurality of media content instances stored in the storage device.
46
21. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of storing the media content in buffer space in the storage device.
22. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of storing the media content in non-buffer space in the storage device.
23. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of changing the area of the recorded portion as the media content instance is downloaded to the storage device.
47
24. A method for providing information about media content stored in a storage device coupled to an interactive media services client device, the method comprising the steps of: representing a scheduled duration of a media content instance, among a plurality of media content instances stored in the storage device, with a symbol; representing in the symbol what portion of the media content instance is accessible to a user with a first colored portion having an area that is proportional to the media content instance portions stored in the storage device; representing in the symbol what portion of the media content instance is inaccessible to the user with a second colored portion that is proportional to the media content instance portions that are not stored in the storage device; representing in the symbol what portion of the media content instance remains to be downloaded to the storage device with a third colored portion; representing in the symbol what location in the media content instance the user is currently viewing with a pointer; providing a current time that provides the current real-time; providing a scheduled viewing time that provides the scheduled time of presentation for the media content instance; providing a title of the media content instance; providing a playback time that provides where in the scheduled viewing time the user is currently viewing the media content instance; representing in the symbol where the user can go to find the plurality of media content instances with arrows; and overlaying the symbol on the displayed media content instance.
25. A system for providing information about media content stored in a storage device coupled to an interactive media services client device, the system comprising: a memory with logic; and a processor configured with the logic to provide a symbol that represents the duration of at least one media content instance of a plurality of media content instances stored in the storage device, wherein the processor is further configured with the logic to provide a recorded portion in the symbol that represents the portion of the media content instance that is accessible to a user.
26. The system of claim 25, wherein the processor is further configured with the logic to provide a pointer in the symbol that represents a location within the media content instance.
27. The system of claim 25, wherein the pointer provides the user with an indication of what portion of the media content instance the user is viewing.
28. The system of claim 25, wherein the pointer is a triangle that is colored yellow.
29. The system of claim 25, wherein the processor is further configured with the logic to provide an inaccessible portion in the symbol that represents the inaccessible portion of the media content instance.
30. The system of claim 29, wherein the inaccessible portion is colored red.
31. The system of claim 25, wherein the processor is further configured with the logic to provide a remaining portion that represents the duration of the media content mstance that is remaining to be downloaded into the storage device as time advances.
