Abstract:
Apparatus and method for improving the bandwidth efficiency of delivering electronic program guide (EPG) data to consumer premises equipment (CPE). In one exemplary embodiment, electronic guide data is rendered by devices away from the CPE, shifting the executing data- and bandwidth-heavy operations away from the CPE. In particular, one or more gateways at the user's home bears the processing, memory, bandwidth load to reduce the inefficiency of delivering redundant information to CPE(s) interfacing with the gateway(s). Using guide data it receives from the cloud, the gateway produces and delivers to the CPE one or more “simple views” of the guide data, including a video stream, still image, or simple HTML or other renderable formats. As the end user interacts with the CPE, the user receives a series of the simple views, allowing the rich experience that is typically given by EPG rendered directly by the CPE.

Claim (Index 28):
A computerized network apparatus configured to deliver programming data to a computerized client device, the computerized network apparatus comprising:\n a processor apparatus; one or more data interfaces configured to enable data communication with a computerized server and a computerized client device; and a non-transitory storage apparatus comprising a storage medium having at least one computer program thereon, the at least one computer program comprising a plurality of instructions configured to, when executed by the processor apparatus, cause the computerized network apparatus to:\n receive data indicative of program guide information from the computerized server via at least one of the one or more data interfaces; \n render the data indicative of program guide information according to a first of a plurality of available formats, the first format selected based at least on capabilities of the computerized client device, where the rendering is configured to produce a first displayable representation of the rendered data in the selected first format; and \n subsequent to the rendering, provide to the computerized client device the first displayable representation of the rendered data in the selected first format; and \n subsequent to the provision of the first displayable representation, and based on a command originating from a user of the computerized client device with respect to the first displayable representation, provide to the computerized client device a second displayable representation of the rendered data in the selected first format.
