Patent number: 11729449Abstract: A technique is described for generating a unified list (e.g., a list ribbon) of programs from a variety and disparate channels, the list for display on an over-the-top (OTT) client device. As an example, the unified list can be generated from OTT live channels and from over-the-air OTA and/or Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) live channels. Further, the unified list can include OTT recordings on the cloud and OTA/ATSC recordings on the local hard drive connected to an OTA local DVR. Thus, the OTT device Client obtains the list from the DVR backend, instead of going to the local OTA client box for the local recordings.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignees: DISH Network L.L.C., DISH Network Technologies India Private LimitedInventors: Jayaprakash Ramaraj, Girish Reddivari, Shailesh Deshmukh, Edward Galbraith, James Davis, Satheesh Haryhara Iyer

Publication number: 20230224287Abstract: Automated processes, computing systems, computing devices and other aspects of a data processing system provide improved reliability in delivering digital media content over the Internet or a similar wide area network without sacrificing data security. Content is initially placed into a secure format (e.g., secure hypertext transport protocol (HTTPS) via transport control protocol (TCP) or the like). Prior to transmission on the network, the secure data packets are encapsulated within connectionless frames, such as user datagram protocol (UDP) frames. The client device that receives the encapsulated packets extracts the underlying secure content from the connectionless frames for further processing. The encapsulation into connectionless data frames permits client and server devices to establish effective streaming sessions while preserving the security of the underlying data.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Applicant: DISH Network Technologies India Private LimitedInventors: GOPIKUMAR RANGANATHAN, RAKESH ELUVAN PERIYAELUVAN

Patent number: 11606587Abstract: Techniques are described for integrated sharing of media playback interactions (MPIs). Responsive to consumer interactions with media content during playback of a media file, embodiments can produce MPIs corresponding to the consumer's changes in the playback presentation of the content. The MPIs can be associated with the media file as one or more sharable embedded MPIs (EMPIs). A consumer can share the media file with its associated EMPIs. When the same or a different consumer subsequently accesses the content from the media file, embodiments permit playback of the content with selective access to the EMPIs. For example, a first consumer can share media content with its associated EMPIs, thereby permitting a second consumer control over which portions of the media content are played back with and without experiencing the first consumer's EMPIs.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2020Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: DISH NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES INDIA PRIVATE LIMITEDInventors: Sandeep Rachoori, Prudvi Raj Daniyala

Patent number: 11575659Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing secure remote connections to media devices establish a secure shell (SSH) connection between two machines which are located in two different private networks, such as between a remote debugging computer and a receiving device. The receiving device has a persistent outbound connection with a message server. The remote debugging computer connects to a relay manager and obtains a relay instance IP address and port. The relay manager then forwards the relay instance IP address and port to the receiving device via the message server. After receiving the connection request from the message server, the receiving device connects to the relay instance IP and port and waits for the input data. The remote debugging computer performs an SSH handshake and the receiving device directly authenticates the SSH connection.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2022Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: DISH NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES INDIA PRIVATE LIMITEDInventors: Gopikumar Ranganathan, Rakesh Eluvan Periyaeluvan, Ranjith Rajan
