Patent number: 11482192Abstract: A system to facilitate AR processing includes receiving captured media from a user device and context information relating to media that is being delivered to a receiving device. The system may use the media being delivered with the captured media to generate one or more virtual objects. The user device may augment a user's view of reality that is reflected in the captured media by overlaying or otherwise incorporating the virtual objects in the user's view of reality.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2017Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: ARRIS Enterprises LLCInventors: Narayanan Venkitaraman, Santosh S.

Patent number: 10198444Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for displaying a plurality of presentation elements to a user. A progress bar is displayed. A length of the progress bar is representative of a duration of a multimedia presentation. A communication box is also displayed. The communication box comprises a marker and a communication composed by an originator in relation to a certain point or time period within the multimedia presentation. The progress bar and the communication box are displayed such that the marker is in alignment with a position along the length of the progress bar that corresponds to the point or time period in the multimedia presentation in relation to which the communication was composed. The marker may be moved relative to the progress bar.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2012Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: ARRIS Enterprises LLCInventors: Santosh S. Basapur, Shirley A.

Patent number: 9854328Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for augmenting a user's multimedia consumption experience. The methods comprise while the user is consuming the multimedia presentation using a first device, that device provides (to one or more remote processors) information that may be used to identify a relevant location. The one or more processors use this information to identify the location and acquire a virtual environment. This virtual environment may be a virtual representation the location. The virtual environment is presented to the user on a second (companion) device. Using the second device, the user may explore the virtual environment and interact with virtual objects therein.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2012Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: ARRIS Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Narayanan Venkitaraman, Shirley A.

Patent number: 9386357Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for displaying information relating to a portion of a multimedia presentation. A progress bar is provided and displayed. A length of the progress bar is representative of a duration of the multimedia presentation. A user selects a first and a second point in the multimedia presentation, thereby defining a portion of the presentation. Depending on the selection, one or more communications (e.g., comments, online postings, etc.) may be identified. Each of these communications may have been composed in relation to at least a point of the multimedia presentation that is within the defined portion. Information depending on those identified communications may then be displayed to the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2012Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: ARRIS Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Santosh S.

Patent number: 9288121Abstract: A method includes receiving content-association input, including identification of accessed first content and an index position of a second content, and associating the accessed first content with the second content at the index position. Users accessing the second content are provided information related to the first content in response to the access of the second content. The information provided may be a link to the first content, a description of the first content, a portion of the first content, or the entire first content. Another method includes providing a user interface within an application window while the application window displays a first content and providing a second window in response to selection input via the user interface. The second window displays an indexed second content. Input may be received via the second window to create an association of the first content with the second content at an index position.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2012Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventors: Hiren M.
