  • Patent number: 11966560
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device presents media items from different media applications in a unified media browsing application. In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates browsing of media from different media applications based on category of media (e.g., movies, television shows, etc.). In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates setup of a unified media browsing application that presents media items from different media applications in a unified media browsing user interface. In some embodiments, an electronic device displays multiple episodes of a collection of episodic content (e.g., a television series) in a user interface for the collection of episodic content. In some embodiments, an electronic device displays representations of, and provides access to, live-event media items accessible on the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20030014288
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a system and method for managing transportation demand and capacity. The present invention allows a carrier to perform rapid and accurate determinations of the profitability of accepting various load transporting opportunities while taking into account the effect of taking a particular load on the entire carrier network. The present invention makes these profitability determinations based on a network model which is continually updated to account for changing market conditions and the effects of real-time events. The method of the present invention includes creating a dynamic network flow model comprised of multiple nodes, each node representing a specific location at specific time. The marginal value of a unit of capacity (e.g. a truck, a trailer, a rail car, a plane, etc.) at each node is calculated by solving the dual of a linear program associated with the network flow model. A matrix is created by a dynamic network value engine (NVE).
