System and method to send information identifying recommended media content items
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method comprising:
- receiving information identifying a plurality of recommended media content items at a computing device, wherein the information is received from a sender device that is different from the computing device, and wherein the plurality of recommended media content items includes at least a first recommended media content item and a second recommended content item;
responsive to receiving a user input corresponding to selection of an accept all option;
automatically performing a first action that includes sending instructions to a second computing device to automatically place an identifier of the first recommended media content item in an on-demand items queue associated with the second computing device upon determining that the first recommended media content item has a first media content type associated with on-demand media content, and wherein the second computing device is distinct from the computing device and the sender device; and
automatically performing a second action that is different from the first action upon determining that the second recommended media content item has a second media content type that is different from the first media content type.

Abstract
A method includes receiving information identifying at least one recommended media content item at a computing device. The information is received from a sender device. The at least one recommended media content item is selected from an electronic program guide and an address associated with the computing device is selected via a graphical user interface at the sender device. The method includes receiving a user selection of at least one item of media content from the at least one recommended media content item. The method includes automatically scheduling recording of the at least one item of media content at a media recorder device when the at least one item of media content is a scheduled program. The method also includes automatically placing the at least one item of media content in an on demand queue when the at least one item of media content includes on demand media content.

12. A computer-readable storage device comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving information identifying a plurality of recommended media content items at a computing device, wherein the information is received from a sender device that is different from the computing device, and wherein the plurality of recommended media content items includes at least a first recommended media content item and a second recommended media content item; sending a listing of the plurality of recommended media content items and an accept all option to a display device; responsive to receiving a user input corresponding to selection of the accept all option; automatically performing a first action that includes sending instructions to a second computing device to automatically place an identifier of the first recommended media content item in an on-demand items queue associated with the second computing device upon determining that the first recommended media content item has a first media content type associated with on-demand media content, and wherein the second computing device is distinct from the computing device and the sender device; and automatically performing a second action that is different from the first action upon determining that the second recommended media content item has a second media content type that is different from the first media content type. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

16. A system comprising:
-
a processor, and a memory accessible to the processor, the memory comprising instructions executable by the processor to perform operations comprising; receiving information identifying a plurality of recommended media content items at a computing device, wherein the information is received from a sender device that is different from the computing device, and wherein the plurality of recommended media content items includes at least a first recommended media content item, a second recommended content item, and a third recommended media content item; responsive to receiving a user input corresponding to selection of an accept all option; automatically sending first instructions to a second computing device to automatically place an identifier of the first recommended media content item in an on-demand items queue associated with the second computing device upon determining that the first recommended media content item has a first media content type associated with on-demand media content and wherein the second computing device is distinct from the computing device and the sender device; automatically sending second instructions to a media download device to automatically schedule a download of the second recommended media content item to the media download device upon determining that the second recommended media content item has a second media content type associated with downloadable media content, wherein the media download device is distinct from the computing device, the sender device, and the second computing device; and automatically sending third instructions to a media recorder device to automatically schedule a recording of the third recommended media content item to the media recorder device upon determining that the third recommended media content item has a third media content type associated with a scheduled program, wherein the media recording device is distinct from the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
