20080300901 | System and method for transfer of digital media - Digital content can be sold by an original sales entity (OSE) to an affiliate sales entity (ASE) for playing of the content by the ASE. The ASE is permitted to transfer the content to another ASE, and sales credit for the secondary transfer is split between the transferring ASE and the OSE upon synchronization of a ledger of the recipient ASE with the system database. | 12-04-2008 |
20090316577 | PACKET FILTERING BASED ON DYNAMIC USAGE INFORMATION - A receiver of network data dynamically filters packets by packet type from a network device CPU based on usage information, such as time, day, location, and feature (e.g., “video” or “application”) selection. | 12-24-2009 |
20090319847 | USING DIFFERENT PHYSICAL INTERFACE TO REQUEST RETRANSMISSION OF PACKET LOST ON UNIDIRECTIONAL INTERFACE - Packets detected to be lost from a unidirectional interface such as an ATSC tuner are requested from the source or a peer using a different physical interface. The packets may be retransmitted for reception over either interface. | 12-24-2009 |
20100002699 | PACKET TAGGING FOR EFFECTIVE MULTICAST CONTENT DISTRIBUTION - A transmitter of network data sends packets with packet type tags in their headers to indicate to a receiver the data type, content type, or priority type of the packet so that packets that are not required by the host processor can be easily screened by the receiver, relieving the host processor of the processing of packets it does not need. | 01-07-2010 |
20100088165 | PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL PLAYBACK UPON TRIGGER EVENT - Promotional content is downloaded from the Internet along with a trigger event defining when the content is to be played. The trigger event may be a time of day, a usage event or pattern, a weather event, or the arrival at a geographic location. | 04-08-2010 |
20100110263 | DIGITAL CAMERA WITH AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS - A digital camera can employ logic to delay capturing a still image after a person has operated the control button until such time as predetermined subject criteria are met, e.g., the subject is smiling with eyes open, three or more players are in the field of view to ensure a good action shot, etc. | 05-06-2010 |
20110090357 | DIGITAL CAMERA WITH AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS - A digital camera can employ logic to delay capturing a still image after a person has operated the control button until such time as predetermined subject criteria are met, e.g., the subject is smiling with eyes open, three or more players are in the field of view to ensure a good action shot, etc. | 04-21-2011 |
20130145405 | USING DIFFERENT PHYSICAL INTERFACE TO REQUEST RETRANSMISSION OF PACKET LOST ON UNIDIRECTIONAL INTERFACE - Packets detected to be lost from a unidirectional interface such as an ATSC tuner are requested from the source or a peer using a different physical interface. The packets may be retransmitted for reception over either interface. | 06-06-2013 |
20130259066 | PACKET FILTERING BASED ON DYNAMIC USAGE INFORMATION - A receiver of network data dynamically filters packets by packet type from a network device CPU based on usage information, such as time, day, location, and feature (e.g., “video” or “application”) selection. | 10-03-2013 |
20140089979 | INTUITIVE IMAGE-BASED PROGRAM GUIDE FOR CONTROLLING DISPLAY DEVICE SUCH AS A TELEVISION - A control device such as a tablet computer presents a scrollable image-based program guide (IBPG) on a display that a user can swipe to cause the device to command a display device to present an audio video (AV) program represented by the image. The IBPG is a subset of an electronic program guide (EPG) from a TV signal provider. Social networking information (SNI) related to a video program is presented on or adjacent an image in the IBPG representing the program. | 03-27-2014 |
