Abstract:
Devices and methods are provided for generating reminder notifications pertaining to time-sensitive media content. In various embodiments, the method includes the step or process of establishing whether time-sensitive media content is desirably viewed by an end user of the media receiver. If establishing that time-sensitive media content is desirably viewed by the end user, it is further determined whether a reminder notification should be generated for the time-sensitive media content at a specified time relative to a change in availability of the time-sensitive media content from a media content provider. If further determining that a reminder notification should be generated for the time-sensitive media content, the reminder notification is generated at the specified time; e.g., the media receiver may generate the reminder notification itself or transmit instructions to a user-carried electronic device to generate the notification reminder.

Claim (Index 1):
A method carried-out utilizing a media receiver, the method comprising:\n establishing whether time-sensitive media content is desirably viewed by an end user of the media receiver; if establishing by a viewing of a predetermined number of views of a set of media content episodes in a series related to the time-sensitive media content, the client media receiver generates a query or a prompt for inquiring whether a reminder notification should be desirably generated for viewing by the end user of an episode of the time-sensitive media content wherein the query solicits input from the end user regarding a time of the notification reminder relative to an availability of the time-sensitive media content to view from one or more content providers; if establishing that the time-sensitive media content is desirably viewed by the end user, determining whether the reminder notification should be generated for the time-sensitive media content at a specified time relative to a change in availability of the time-sensitive media content from a media content provider comprising when the media content is first broadcast or becomes available to view prior to a removal of the time-sensitive media content from a streaming video platform; if determining whether time-sensitive media content satisfies an established time-sensitive content notification criteria by searching informational sources comprising information extracted from an electronic program guide for broadcast media, information extracted from metadata or content descriptions for video on demand content, and information extracted from online sources or services accessible via a network; if determining that a reminder notification should be generated for the time-sensitive media content, then generating the reminder notification at the specified time in accordance with the end user input wherein the reminder notification comprises at least one of a set of reminder notifications comprising: a pre-release reminder and a post-release reminder notification; the generating of the reminder notifications further comprising:\n choosing, for the pre-lease reminder notification by the end user, a time window and a frequency for the pre-release reminder notification in order to select when a first pre-release reminder notification is generated, whether a subsequent reminder notifications should be issued, and the frequency of the pre-release reminder notification; and \n determining, by the end user for the post-release notification, a time period for generating additional notifications and a frequency for the post-release reminder notifications.
