A system for utilizing metadata created either at a central location for shared use by connected users, or at each individual user's location, to enhance user's enjoyment of available broadcast programming content. A variety of mechanisms are employed for automatically and manually identifying and designating programming segments, associating descriptive metadata which the identified segments, distributing the metadata for use at client locations, and using the supplied metadata to selectively record and playback desired programming.

Methods are provided for managing, sharing and providing access to data, especially among systems that are used to conduct a distributed application. Such methods may be beneficial, for example, in distributed networks having occasionally-connected devices. Methods are provided for linking and synchronizing data in a distributed network. In one example system, loosely-coupled systems may be used to implement such a network. Further, an abstraction layer may be used to abstract data elements (e.g., files, database elements) from those used by an application.

A synchronization system is provided that distributes synchronization system-based applications and synchronization system-based application extensions and their associated resources and components (hereinafter “plug-in applications” or “plug-ins”). Components are maintained such that any synchronization system-based application instantiation may be changed or updated by the synchronization system. In one specific example using the synchronization system, each synchronization system-based application or plug-in is self-contained and self-updateable through a synchronization system synchronization process. A further benefit is that the synchronization system and synchronization system-based applications may be extended independent of device type or operating system. Thus, a system is provided for synchronizing one or more plug-in applications. In one example, the system for synchronizing plug-in applications includes a synchronization system having at least one distributed database that is configured to store a plug-in application, and a schema for the database. Optionally, the distributed database may be configured to store plug-in application instantiation information, synchronization system-based application association information, role, permissions, access control rights, and data associated with the plug-in application. In one example, each distributed database has at least two instances, and the plug-in application (and optional resources and components) is stored in at least one instance of the distributed database. As described herein, the synchronization system is configured to synchronize the plug-in application (and optional resources and components) between the instances of said distributed database.

A scheme for coordinating the preferences of multiple intelligent devices into the setting of parameters for devices and users is described. This coordination involves the negotiation of preferences between multiple devices within a context using one of more of a multiplicity of negotiating techniques.
