Publication number: 20220360859Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for allowing a mobile device to dynamically obtain program guide data. A mobile device having the capability of playing media streams is configurable to dynamically request program guide structure information followed by program guide content information. In one example, the program guide structure information allows a user to begin navigating the program guide data in an active and dynamic manner. Program guide content information including data such as program titles, times, icons, and links are then downloaded and displayed as needed. Potentially limitless amounts of program guide data can be provided on a mobile device. Program guide content information can be provided in a generic manner while allowing user layout customization. Program guide information can also be preemptively provided to a mobile device based on a variety of criteria.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Gavin Peacock, James Roseborough, David Lowell, Aravind Nallan, Ian Farmer

Patent number: 9143816Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms are provided for sending targeted content and data to mobile devices. Location information associated with a device is determined. In some instances, the location information is manually entered. In other instances, the location information is determined automatically from characteristics associated with the device. Location information can be obtained from global positioning system (GPS) data, cell-site triangulation, Internet Protocol (IP) address detection, etc. Content and advertising can be provided in a location relevant manner to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2014Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: MobiTV, Inc.Inventors: Monica Tran, Gavin Peacock, James Roseborough, David Lowell, Aravind Nallan, Ian Farmer

Patent number: 8661468Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for allowing improved selection of program guide information. Program guide information includes channel, time, and program listing information. In particular examples, each program listing is associated with a time slot having beginning time slot boundary and an end time slot boundary. Program listing information can be viewed even after a current time passes an end time slot boundary. In some examples, program listing information may be removed after a predetermined period of time or after a predetermined period of disuse.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2006Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: MobiTV, Inc.Inventors: Gavin Peacock, James Roseborough, David Lowell, Aravind Nallan, Ian Farmer
