Patent number: 11962827Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and displaying a non-time bound content channel in a time-bound grid is provided. The system comprises receiving content data representing non-time bound content to be displayed in the time bound grid. The system generates the time bound grid, by creating, based on the content data, a non-time bound content channel. The non-time bound content channel displays one or more content objects representing the non-time bound content in the time bound grid. The system incorporates the non-time bound content channel with a plurality of time bound channels in the time bound grid. The system then causes display of the generated time bound grid on a viewing device of a user.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: OPENTV, INC.Inventors: Danielle Maslow Zimmerman, David Daniel Kempe, Crx K. Chai, Alex Fishman, Colin Shengcai Zhao, Andrea Wheeler

Patent number: 11910062Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and displaying groupings of content recommendations using personas are provided. The system determines content for each of the plurality of personas. The determined content for each of the plurality of personas comprises content that shares a common genre or theme for each persona. The system populates each of the plurality of personas using the determined content for each of the plurality of personas. The system then causes display of at least some of the plurality of personas on a viewing device of a user. The at least some of the plurality of personas is selected for the user based on device data corresponding to the user, whereby the device data indicates user preferences and interactions with previous content.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2023Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: OPENTV, INC.Inventors: Crx K. Chai, Alex Fishman, Danielle Maslow Zimmerman, Robert Chen, David Daniel Kempe, Colin Shengcai Zhao

Patent number: 11695996Abstract: A machine detects a set of first control operations and, in response, causes a display screen to present a graphical interface in which a central window suggests first content by presenting a first preview and a first identifier superimposed on the first preview. The machine then detects a second control operation that indicates dismissal of the first content. In response to the second control operation, the machine causes the display screen to present a transition to an interest-improved version of the graphical interface. The transition includes sliding the first preview, the first identifier, a second preview, and a second identifier together in a shared direction and at a shared speed within the central window. The second preview and the second identifier correspond to second content. In the interest-improved version of the graphical interface, the central window suggests the second content by presenting the second preview and the second identifier.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2022Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: OPENTV, INC.Inventors: Crx K. Chai, Robert Chen, Alex Fishman, Marc Stoksik, Colin Shengcai Zhao, David Daniel Kempe, Venkata Ratnam Vadhri

Publication number: 20220060790Abstract: Example embodiments provide a system and method for dynamically triggering display of recommendations during an end-of-show period. A digital receiver identifies an end-of-show period for a piece of digital content. The end-of-show period indicates a portion at an end of the piece of digital content during which display of recommendations can be triggered. The digital receiver monitors for a motion indication signal from a remote control device. In response to both playback of the piece of digital content being within the end-of-show period and a determination that the motion indication signal is received, the digital receiver causes immediate display of one or more recommendations of further digital content.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2021Publication date: February 24, 2022Inventors: Marc Stoksik, Danielle Maslow Zimmerman, David Daniel Kempe
