Publication number: 20230188775Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for searching for media content across multiple sources. A multi-source content system can connect various media content sources (e.g., internet streaming platforms, local or cloud storage, OTA networks, cable network, satellite network, public library databases, etc.) to a gateway. When a user searches for media content, the gateway can detect the search and perform a query across the various media content sources to locate the media content. The multi-source content system can prioritize the search results according to free content, local storage devices, gateway content services or bandwidth management metrics, and present the search results to the user. The multi-source content system can aggregate multiple media content sources and devices connected to a gateway to retrieve media content.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Sanjiv Topiwalla, Neil Marten, Luke VanDuyn, Ross Drennan, Caroline Condon

Publication number: 20190306556Abstract: Novel techniques are described for recognizing subscriber devices that have not downloaded and properly configured a specialized application for remote coordination between the subscriber device and the subscriber's set-top box. For example, a network discovery routine can be executed by a set-top box communicatively coupled with a local area network (LAN) router, thereby discovering a portable device communicatively coupled with the LAN router. A pairing data store can be queried by the set-top box to determine that the discovered portable device is a presently unpaired portable device with respect to the remote media playback system. A prompt can be communicated to the presently unpaired portable device automatically in response to the querying, the prompt directing the presently unpaired portable device to pair with the remote media playback system.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2018Publication date: October 3, 2019Inventor: Sanjiv Topiwalla
