Patent number: 11947610Abstract: The system provides a method and apparatus for sorting and displaying information from a BBS. The system provides a method of sorting and presenting messages from a BBS in a way so that the relationship in message threads can be easily observed and related messages can be identified. The system provides a way to view messages and map message threads in two and three dimensions so that the content of messages can be easily reviewed and the relationship between messages can be seen and followed. The system allows a user to enter into a message thread at any point and to then produce a visualization of the related threads and messages associated with each individual message. The system provides interfaces for either a linear or threaded BBS or even a hybrid BBS that is some combination of linear and threaded.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Bitvore Corp.Inventors: Carl Mandel, David Mandel, Brian Fudge, Lew Roth, Kevin Watters

Patent number: 9369687Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for encoding, distributing, and decoding multimedia files with interleaved video, subtitle, and audio chunks are provided. Multimedia files in accordance with embodiments of the present invention can contain multiple video tracks, multiple audio tracks, multiple subtitle tracks, data that can be used to generate a menu interface to access the contents of the file and ‘meta data’ concerning the contents of the file. In one embodiment, the generated ‘audio,’ ‘video’ and ‘subtitle’ chunks are interleaved so that the ‘audio’ and ‘subtitle’ chunks are located within the file prior to the ‘video’ chunks containing information concerning the video frames to which they correspond. In other embodiments, the ‘audio’ and ‘subtitle’ chunks can be located after the ‘video’ chunks to which they correspond. One embodiment of a multimedia file in accordance with the present invention includes a series of encoded video frames and encoded menu information.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2014Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: Sonic IP, Inc.Inventors: Jason Braness, Christopher Durham, Timothy Sayre, Benjamin Cote, Darrius Nguyen Thompson, Jerome Rota, Alastair Mayo, Eric William Grab, Jerald Donaldson, Heather Hitchcock, Damien Chavarria, Michael John Floyd, Abou Ul Aala Ahsan, Brian Fudge, Adam H.
