Abstract

See full text

A method of using an individual electronic program guide (EPG) for management of links to on-demand TV programs on a TV services platform of a digital TV service provider includes establishing a viewer-individualized EPG through a Log-In step by which the individual viewer can be uniquely identified, enabling the individual viewer to select a title of an on-demand TV program listed on the individual EPG and save it as a link to the on-demand TV program for later reference. Each title for an on-demand TV program listed on the individual EPG is associated with metadata structured as a string of category and subcategory terms separated by delimiters corresponding to the position of the title in a hierarchically categorized ordering of the individual EPG. The bookmark address corresponds to a URL address for the video content on the Internet in a common addressing scheme with the on-demand TV program on the individual EPG.
