当用户首先选取再定位特征时，图1的远程服务器网络110可以暂停该用户正在观看的点播媒体内容，并存储内容位置基准到正确的用户专用帐户。在用户交换到不同的位置并请求正确传递暂停的内容之后，远程服务器网络110可以检索正确的内容位置基准并从用户暂停内容的点开始继续传递媒体内容。在可以传递媒体内容之前，远程服务器网络可以要求识别该用户，因此，可以定位和接入正确的用户专用数据和/或用户专用帐户信息。
用户专用数据或帐户信息可以存储在该用户专用的远程服务器网络110(图1)的部分。远程服务器网络110(图1)可以是配置成存储这种信息和数据的VOD服务器。还可以利用远程服务器网络110(图1)上的帐户存储该用户的个人图像或视像。远程服务器网络110(图1)可以允许用户从他们自己的家或从其他位置处的用户设备接入他们的个人图像或视像。
图7C是再定位过程760的流程图实例，过程760表示在选取再定位特征时如何存储和接入数据。再定位过程760是从启动步骤761开始，它可以几乎包括任何与媒体传递系统的交互作用，导致给用户展示再定位特征。例如，启动步骤761可以是启动图7A中再定位显示屏700的用户交互作用。在步骤762，可以给用户提供选取或确认再定位特征的机会。
如果需要，步骤762可以包括用于识别当前用户的步骤771(例如，识别第一个用户设备上的当前用户)。用户识别步骤771可以给用户提供注册点播媒体系统的能力，它可以包括提示用户给出标识符和/或口令。例如，响应于用户选取再定位特征，可以完成步骤771。
如果需要，步骤771可以是启动步骤761中的一部分，允许系统在用户选取再定位特征之前识别当前用户。
当用户选取再定位特征时，点播媒体系统可以保存用户的当前位置(步骤763)。保存当前位置可以涉及，例如，保存识别媒体内容在何处被再定位特征‘冻结’或暂停的指针。若用户在步骤771被识别，则过程760可以在与用户相关的存储空间存储任何与再定位特征操作有关的数据。如果需要，保存当前位置可以涉及从选取再定位特征的点开始记录媒体内容。在步骤764，过程760可以在用户选取恢复接收之前输入空闲模式。步骤764可以包括识别当前用户(在第二个用户设备上识别当前用户)的步骤772。当用户利用再定位特征选取恢复媒体时，可以完成步骤772。在步骤772，系统可以给当前用户提供注册点播媒体系统的能力，它可以包括提示用户给出标识符和/或口令。如果需要，在当前用户利用再定位特征恢复媒体时，可以完成步骤772。
在步骤765，可以检索最初选取再定位特征时观看的媒体内容位置。若用户在步骤772被识别，则从与当前用户相关的存储空间可以检索与再定位特征操作有关的数据。
若指针被存储，则系统可以利用指针找到点播媒体传递系统中内容的正确位置，并继续播放从该点开始的媒体(步骤765)。如果需要，可以从选取再定位特征的点开始远程记录媒体。在这种实施例中，系统只要从记录内容的点开始播放该内容。在成功地检索和恢复内容之后，可以产生结束步骤766，步骤766标志过程760的终止。
图8表示再定位过程880的实例，过程880类似于过程760，但包括观察实况内容时再定位的可能性。步骤881，882，891，886，892，和888分别与图7C中的步骤761，762，771，764，772，和776基本相同。在实况播送检查步骤883，系统可以确定当前媒体是否为实况播送。若媒体不是实况播送，则进行到步骤885，它涉及存储媒体的当前位置。若媒体是实况播送，则在步骤884可以远程记录媒体。在发生步骤884之后，在步骤885可以存储媒体的位置。如果需要，可以利用指针的形式存储媒体的位置。在步骤886进行中，系统可以处在空闲状态，等待用户指出该用户已再定位到新的用户设备。如果需要，过程880可以包括过程880所示特定点处的步骤891和892，和/或以上结合图7C中步骤771和772所讨论的，用于识别第一个用户设备处的当前用户和用户再定位到第二个用户设备时第二个用户设备处的当前用户。在用户再定位之后，在步骤887，系统可以确定存储的媒体位置，检索存储的媒体位置，然后，从存储的媒体位置开始继续播放媒体。一旦播放开始，到达结束步骤888，用户被成功地再定位。
远程点播媒体服务器可以配置成存储和传递用户专用媒体(例如，图片，摄像机记录，等等)，或用户上载的数据或媒体。利用各种方法可以对接入这种数据或媒体进行控制。
图9表示远程服务器的数据和媒体接入过程900的实例。在步骤901，可以接收来自点播媒体系统的静态请求或与用户设备相关用户的人工请求。这种请求可以与媒体内容或用户专用数据的检索相联系。
为了检索媒体内容，可以接入图1中的服务器180。在步骤902，响应于用户专用数据的请求，可以检查图1的网络拓扑100中的合适装置，用于确定是否需要任何类型的授权以接入被请求的数据。在步骤903，响应于媒体内容的请求，系统可以检查图1的网络拓扑100中的合适装置，用于确定是否需要任何类型的授权以接入被请求的媒体内容。
若接入数据或媒体不需要任何类型的授权，则可以检索该数据或媒体，并在步骤907和908可以给用户提供接入数据或媒体的机会。不要求接入特权的数据或媒体可以包括：例如，用户确定为公用的数据或媒体。
若需要授权，则在步骤904或步骤905，可以发送请求以确定用户是否有接入所需数据或媒体的许可。步骤904和步骤905可以包括：询问用户的帐户标识和/或口令。在步骤906，当用户没有接入所需数据或媒体的接入权利时，可以拒绝用户接入。若用户有接入所需数据或媒体的许可，则在步骤907，可以允许用户接入数据，或在步骤908，可以允许用户接入媒体。
如果需要，步骤902和903可以组合。如果需要，步骤904和905可以组合。如果需要，步骤907和908也可以组合。
如上所述，在利用远程存储和远程接入的能力方面，点播媒体系统实现许多唯一特征。结合远程存储的用户概况或远程存储的用户帐户，可以实现这种唯一特征中的一些特征。
点播媒体传递系统可以有一个用户的帐户或一组用户(例如，家庭)的帐户，该帐户可用于存储与帐户相关用户的用户概况。用户概况可以起控制数据结构的作用，通过数据结构可以接入，存储，和检索用户专用数据和点播媒体内容和数据。
图1中的远程服务器网络110可以进行划分和格式化，以便包括任何用户或用户组的用户帐户，其中可以存储，操作，和接入帐户专用数据和点播媒体内容。
图10表示概况显示屏1000的实例，显示屏1000可以包括用户识别信息1005，指出何人正在被系统识别。若新用户希望注册，则可以选取新注册选项1031，并可以启动诸如图6B中显示屏650的注册显示屏。若用户需要的选项没有出现在显示屏1010上，则可以选取更多的选项按钮1032。
区域1010包含若干个不同的用户可选择选项，例如，图示的优先选项。当用户注册到系统之后，这些选项可以允许用户接入或利用本地存储或远程存储的数据或媒体。
图11表示帐户管理显示屏1150的实例，在选取图10的帐户管理选项1034时，可以显示帐户管理显示屏1150。帐户信息1151可以显示在显示屏1150上，指出哪个用户正在被识别和识别该用户的管理位置。管理位置窗口1160可以位于显示屏1150上，并可以包含被识别用户帐户之下的用户或用户组清单。被识别用户可以通过管理控制1170改变窗口1160中用户或用户组的性质。首先，从窗口1160中选取用户或用户组(例如，当高亮窗口位于用户或用户组之上时，按下数据输入键)，其次，使光标或高亮窗口放置在管理控制1170中一个选项上面以便采取所需的动作，用户就可以改变用户或用户组的性质。可以包括在管理控制1170中的控制例子包括：例如，添加新用户组，添加新用户，约束用户组，约束用户，限制用户组，限制用户，删除用户组，删除用户，建立用户的新帐户，建立用户组的新帐户。
在诸如VOD服务器的远程服务器中，存储诸如用户的优先项(例如，总体优先，点播媒体优先，等等)的用户专用数据，就可以允许个人自动配置特征，听从用户从设备到设备的移动。在用户被系统识别(例如，被远程服务器网络识别)之后，这种特征可以使优先项被用户设备检索和执行。在自动配置特征中可以使用的一些优先项和用户专用信息类别可以包括：例如，音量设定，喜爱频道，备忘录，用户记录的点播媒体内容信息，用户的最近活动，自动记录次数，以及任何其他的优先或活动。例如，在用户被远程服务器网络识别之后，用户设备可以有选择地或自动地配置成配合或使用一些或全部用户远程存储的优先项。
图12表示自动配置显示屏1200的实例，在用户经注册显示屏(例如，图6B中显示屏650)注册之后，可以启动自动配置显示屏1200。显示屏1200可以允许用户选取用户设备为自动配置。用户设备可以是该用户正在使用的用户设备。通过下载用户有关数据和信息并处理用户设备上的数据和信息以适合当前用户，就可以自动配置用户设备。
信息区1210可以出现在显示屏1200上，并可以包含用户概况的数据或与用户注册有关的数据。配置选项1220可以包括在显示屏1200上。在选取一个选项1220时，可以接入用户概况中存储的信息以完成若干项活动。配置选项1220中显示的选项可以随信息类型而变化，这些信息类型存储在特定用户的概况中。配置选项1220的例子可以包括：例如，自动配置选项，最近活动选项，喜爱演出选项，最近演出选项，和喜爱活动选项。
每当用户注册到系统时，用户可以选取总是自动配置选项1211，利用用户的个人信息自动地配置用户设备。当用户以前没有选取总是自动配置选项1211时，可以显示自动配置选项1212。可以选取自动配置选项1212，以便自动配置正在使用的用户设备。在用户注销并不再被用户设备识别之后的用户设备设定，可以删除或复位用户设备设定。
图13表示自动配置用户设备中可能涉及的过程1350的实例。过程1350可以在启动步骤1351开始，例如，在激活点播媒体传递系统时开始。在步骤1352，可以允许用户注册到系统。在步骤1353，可以验证用户的注册信息。在步骤1354，若输入的注册信息无效，则系统可以检查注册用户的帐户，是否指出选取总是自动配置特征。若该帐户指出选取总是自动配置特征，则在步骤1358，注册到系统的用户设备可以自动配置成具有该用户的优先信息。
在步骤1358，可以检索自动配置优先项和信息，并下载到正在使用的用户设备，用户设备可以基于优先项和信息进行配置。
若没有选取总是自动配置选项，则在步骤1355的当前注册时，可以给用户提供一个使正在使用的用户设备为自动配置的机会。在当前注册期间，当用户选取自动配置选项时，可以完成步骤1358。在结束步骤1359，可以允许用户恢复其他的活动。在这个方法中，一些或全部的用户概况或优先项可以存储在远程服务器。
点播媒体传递系统还可以包含上载特征。图14A表示上载文件显示屏1400的实例，为了上载文件可以启动上载文件显示屏1400。如果需要，上载特征可以包括用于上载装置的自动扫描用户设备的过程。在有不同文件源的情况下，上载装置按钮1420可以显示在显示屏1400上。例如，显示屏1400可以包括：VCR上载按钮1411，计算机上载按钮1412，和DVD播放机上载按钮1413。可以允许用户从按钮1420中选取一个按钮，用于从与该按钮相关的装置上载数据。
