Patent number: 11955116Abstract: Content is organized for brands by selecting a plurality of brand templates. After each selection, a set of properties is generated by applying a portion of settings of the respective brand template, with the remaining settings being overridden with settings for a channel communicating one of a plurality of presentations to a node of a network involved in the communication. The plurality of presentations may include different renditions of the same content. The properties may include sections configured for different focus areas and/or types of content associated with at tags to enable brand-level-targeting. Filters may be identified in the properties. Based on each of the identifications, a property from among the generated sets of properties may be selected based on comparisons with the associated tags.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Aaron Miller, Jason D.

Publication number: 20200372807Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for procedures for establishing an aircraft-to-aircraft mesh network during flight using high-bandwidth directional communication beams. A first aircraft may be able to utilize flight data about a second aircraft to reduce a computational cost of a beam discovery procedure used to establish directional communication beams in the aircraft-to-aircraft mesh network. For example, the first aircraft may receive flight data (e.g., position information, heading, altitude, etc.) using an air traffic control system. The first aircraft may determine one or more predicted locations of the second aircraft based on the flight data. The first aircraft may use the predicted locations to transmit directional discovery beams to only those locations where the second aircraft is likely to be. Upon receiving at least one of the directional discovery beams, the second aircraft and the first aircraft may establish a communication link of the aircraft-to-aircraft mesh network.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2020Publication date: November 26, 2020Inventors: Junyi Li, Arthur Miller, Durga Prasad Malladi

Patent number: 10713956Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for establishing an ad hoc aircraft-to-aircraft mesh network to provide a redundant backup of critical flight information for an aircraft. Using a directional communication link of the aircraft-to-aircraft mesh network, the aircraft can transmit at least a portion its critical flight information to one or more receiving aircraft. The receiving aircraft may store the critical flight information of the transmitting aircraft on a local memory device. At least portions of the critical flight information may be reconstructed from the data stored on the receiving aircraft. In some examples, the receiving aircraft may retransmit the critical flight information to other aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Arthur Miller, Junyi Li, Durga Prasad Malladi
