  • Patent number: 10785184
    Abstract: Embodiments of a notification framework for smart objects (e.g., smart televisions) to deliver notifications to user devices are described. In one embodiment, a method includes a smart device sending an event-registration request to a server, the event-registration request including event information associated with an event associated with the smart device. The smart device may receive a code generated by the server in response to the event-registration request, the code being associated with the event information. The smart device may send the code to a user device through short-range wireless communication. By using the code, the user device may obtain from the server the event information associated with the event of the smart device.

  • Patent number: 10389678
    Abstract: Embodiments of a notification framework for smart objects (e.g., smart televisions) to deliver notifications to user devices are described. In one embodiment, a method includes a server receiving an event-registration request from a smart object. The event-registration request may include event information associated with an event associated with the smart object. In response to the request, the server may generate a code, associate the code with the event information, and send the code to the smart object. The smart object may then broadcast the code to the user device through, e.g., short-range wireless communication. The server may receive an information request from a user device that includes the code, and in response send the event information associated with the code to the user device.
