Patent number: 11336948Abstract: A user may employ a user device (e.g., a television (TV) and a set-top box (STB)) to access a television system via a network. The television system may include one or more content servers (CSs) (e.g., a VOD server, an HTTP server, or other media server) for providing, among other things, a VOD service to the user and a broadcast transmission system for transmitting a multitude of linear television channels. Television system and/or user device is/are operable to enable the user to interact with an enhanced TV service (ETS) that allows the user to easily navigate among various different programmed linear channels (a.k.a., “streaming channels”) and VOD services. The ETS may be hosted in the television system, in user device, or in a combination of the two.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2020Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Music ChoiceInventors: Donna M.

Patent number: 9451300Abstract: A system and method for providing an interactive, visual complement to one or more audio programs. In one aspect, the system comprises an audio subsystem for generating an audio signal corresponding to a sound recording. The system also comprises a video subsystem for generating a video image specification based, at least in part, on the sound recording. In one aspect, the audio signal and video image specification are transmitted to an audio/video signal transmission system. The transmission system receives the video image specification and generates a video signal that conforms to the video image specification. The video signal and the audio signal are transmitted to at least one consumer receiver. In this way, the system provides a visual complement to an audio program.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2014Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: Music ChoiceInventors: David J. Del Beccaro, Stuart H. Farber, Kelley L. Giannetti, Donna M. O'Neill, Jeremy C. Rosenberg, Robert M. Steinberg, Christina B. Tancredi, Ronald M. Yurman
