Patent number: 11638055Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are described to process timed text that is associated with media or other video programming. Pre-set data that describes the particular format of the timed text that is associated with a program is initially received and stored at the media receiver prior to receiving the program with encoded timed text. The timed text that is associated with the received program is interpreted according to the pre-set data previously stored at the media receiver, and the program with the interpreted timed text is output to a display for presentation to the viewer.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: DISH Technologies L.LC.Inventor: Kate Landow

Publication number: 20230050873Abstract: A video services system and related operating methods are disclosed here. A method of operating the video services system involves: processing encoded video data that conveys an original version of video programming having primary video content divided into primary video segments, and having secondary video content in a secondary video segment arranged adjacent to at least one of the primary video segments; obtaining a primary program identifier that uniquely identifies the primary video content; and reviewing information linked to the obtained primary program identifier. In response to the reviewing, a replacement video segment is identified to replace the secondary video segment. The secondary video segment is replaced with the replacement video segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2021Publication date: February 16, 2023Applicant: DISH Network L.L.C.Inventor: Kate LANDOW
