Patent number: 11228814Abstract: A data analyzer engine can be configured to receive feedback indicating different content currently consumed by subscribers in a cable network environment. The data analyzer engine analyzes the feedback to identify most popular consumed content amongst the different content and produces a content guide to include multiple selectable channels from which content is available for retrieval over a shared communication link in the cable network environment. The content guide can include one or more selectable viewing options to view a rendition of content being identified as more or most popular. Each of one or more playback devices or other suitable resources retrieves and initiates display of the content guide on a display screen. Accordingly, a subscriber can view different available content options as well as an identification of content that is currently the most popular consumed content amongst viewers.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2013Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLCInventors: Peter Stern, Ethan Wolf, Craig Vanderborgh

Patent number: 10750218Abstract: A data analyzer engine receives feedback associated with delivery of content (such as streaming content) to multiple subscriber domains in a cable network environment. The data analyzer engine analyzes the feedback to identify attributes of current content consumption by playback devices operated in the subscriber domains. Based on the analyzed feedback, the data analyzer engine produces control information specifying data flow control rates in which the playback devices are assigned to retrieve content over a shared communication link in the cable network environment. Accordingly, data flow rates in a network environment (such as a subscriber domain) can be controlled to promote fairness and optimal use of available bandwidth amongst multiple playback devices sharing a respective communication link.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2018Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLCInventors: Ethan Wolf, Craig Vanderborgh

Patent number: 10102054Abstract: In furtherance of providing uninterrupted network service, a data analyzer engine in a network environment aggregates real-time feedback from multiple resources that collectively provide delivery of content to multiple subscribers in a network environment. According to one arrangement, the multiple resources are disposed along a network communication path between a content delivery source and the subscriber. Based on analyzing the aggregated real-time feedback from the multiple resources disposed along the network communication path, assume that the data analyzer engine detects occurrence of multiple anomaly conditions at a location in the network communication path. Each of the anomaly condition may or may not be representative of an actual network resource failure. In response to detecting first occurrence of the anomaly conditions, the data analyzer engine initiates generation of a notification to appropriate network management personnel indicating the occurrence of the detected anomaly condition.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2015Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLCInventors: Ethan Wolf, Craig Vanderborgh, Phoenix Kwan

Patent number: 6662163Abstract: An interactive voice response system includes a server and a set of mobile clients. The server and clients include RF transceivers for exchanging messages over an RF channel. Each mobile client includes a microphone, a speaker or headset, a processor and a voice browser. The voice browser interprets voice pages received from the server. Upon receiving a particular voice page from the server, the voice browser outputs via the speaker voice prompts specified by the voice page. A speech recognition engine used by the voice browser converts voice responses from a user into a text response. The voice browser then performs an action based on the text response. The action taken may be to request a new voice page from the server, or to continue to interpret the current voice page.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2000Date of Patent: December 9, 2003Assignee: Voxware, Inc.Inventors: Ray Albayrak, Sherri L.
