Abstract

Systems and methods are operable to present summaries of a media content event. An exemplary embodiment receives a media content stream having at least one media content event, receives a summary feed stream having at least one media content event summary segment associated with the received at least one media content event, receives a user request for presentation of the media content event summary residing in the received at least one media content event summary segment, ends or pauses presentation of the media content event on a media presentation device, and presents the media content event summary of the media content event summary segment on the media presentation device.

Abstract

A configuration settings datastore is partitioned into data groups. Each data group includes a set of configuration settings, a set of membership criteria, and a weight. A request is received for configuration settings for a networked device, the request including a set of parameters associated with the networked device. A set of desired configuration settings are selected from the datastore based on the sets of membership criteria, the set of parameters, and the weights of the plurality of data groups. The desired configuration settings are then transmitted to the networked device.
