Method and system for scheduling media exports
First Claim
1. A method for exporting media in a library according to a schedule, comprising:
- at a first time, receiving export identification data comprising first data identifying one or more media from the library to be exported and second data identifying a second time at which the one or more media is scheduled to be exported;
storing the export identification data in a data file; and
at the second time, using the stored export identification data to select the one or more media to be exported to export the selected media from the library.

Abstract
Methods, systems and software components are described for exporting media in a library according to a schedule. At a first time, a user provides and a system receives export identification data including data identifying one or more media from the library to be exported and data identifying a second time at which the one or more media is scheduled to be exported. The first data may be a list of media identified by media identifiers and related data or may be a set of one or more criteria which are evaluated to determine which media in the library should be exported at the scheduled time. The export identification data is stored in a relational database table. At the second, scheduled time, the stored export identification data is used to select the one or more media to be exported to export the selected media from the library.

12. An administrative system for scheduling an export of one or more media from a library, the system comprising:
-
a user interface for receiving, at a first time, export identification data comprising first data identifying one or more media from the library to be exported and second data identifying a second time at which the identified one or more media is scheduled to be exported;
a data file stored in a memory device for storing the export identification data; and
a task control subsystem for retrieving the export identification data at the second time from the data file and controlling the library to cause the export of the media identified by the media identification data. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

- 18. A data structure stored on a computer readable medium comprising first data identifying one or more media from a media library and second data identifying a time at which the identified one or more media are scheduled to be exported from the library, the data structure being accessed by a task control application program at the second time to determine which one or more media are scheduled to be exported at the second time and to send a control signal to the media library to initiate export of the identified one or more media.
