Patent number: 12580975Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying broadcast sources within a MapView system. A MapView system may display a first representation of a first geographical area that includes icons representing a location of broadcast sources. User characteristics may be extracted from a first user device associated with the MapView system. A machine-learning model may execute using the user characteristics to generate contemporaneous broadcast characteristics corresponding to a user of the first user device. The MapView system may then display a second representation of the geographical area that includes icons representing a location of different broadcast sources. The MapView system may then facilitate a presentation of particular broadcast source from the different broadcast sources.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2022Date of Patent: March 17, 2026Assignee: TuneIn, Inc.Inventors: Moksha Adyanthaya, Paul Brody, Scott Collins, Jack Kim, Sarah Kate Emerson, Yuri Ono, Eric Wilcox, Richard Stern, Nicole Erthein, Devki Kalra, Joseph King, Joseph Gomez

Publication number: 20250323963Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for presenting media streams based on changes in geolocation. A MapView system may receive a first positioning signal indicating a first geographical location of a user device. The MapView system may determine a first media stream to be presented by the user device based on the first geographical location and a location of a source of the first media stream. The MapView system may then facilitate a presentation of the first media stream by the user device. When the MapView system receives a second positioning signal indicating a second geographical location of the user device, the MapView may identify, a second media stream to be presented by the user device based on the second geographical location being in broadcast range of the second media stream. The MapView system may then facilitate a presentation of the second media stream by the user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2025Publication date: October 16, 2025Inventors: Moksha Adyanthaya, Paul Brody, Scott Collins, Jack Kim, Sarah Kate Emerson, Yuri Ono, Eric Wilcox, Richard Stern, Nicole Erthein, Devki Kalra, Joseph King, Joseph Gomez

Publication number: 20250030928Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may provide systems and methods for predicting interruptions in media content using machine-learning techniques and providing media content from alternative media sources in response to predicted interruptions. A computer-implemented method includes accessing initial media stream being presented by a user device. The initial media stream is associated with an initial media source. The computer-implemented method further includes identifying initial media content from the initial media stream. The computer-implemented method further includes applying a machine-learning model to the initial media stream to dynamically predict in real-time an interruption of the initial media content. The interruption is predicted as the initial media stream continues to be presented on the user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2024Publication date: January 23, 2025Inventors: Moksha Adyanthaya, Abraham Ben-Tov, Sarah Emerson, Richard Stern, Eric Wilcox
