Patent number: 10498789Abstract: A digital broadcast network is provided in which multiple original experiences powered by the same data is created. A server software intelligently handles delivery of data so that the data can be utilized by several different client-side applications at substantially the same time. Through filtering of large amounts of data and creation of a universal format, this data can be used by devices capable of receiving a digital broadcast stream.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2019Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jonathan Paul McCartie, George Allen Rothrock, Nicholas Andrew Glassman

Patent number: 9513893Abstract: A digital broadcast network is disclosed that can provide scheduled updates for non-critical data in a different manner than critical data updates. Updates that included non-critical information can be scheduled to be broadcast, over a digital broadcast network, during an update window, which can be a specific period of time. Receiving devices can be notified of the update window and, utilizing background functionality, the non-critical updates can be accepted and applied at the receiving device. The non-critical updates might be accepted and applied during the update window if the receiving device is in an idle state or a period of low activity. The non-critical updates can be broadcast on a separate channel or stream. During periods other than during the update window, other data can be transmitted on the separate channel or stream. Critical updates can be applied in real-time.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2007Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: George Allen Rothrock, Jonathan McCartie, Nicholas Glassman

Patent number: 9462020Abstract: A digital broadcast network is disclosed that can divide an application into multiple channels to be distributed to receiving devices. A receiving device can selectively accept one or more of the multiple channels depending on various criteria including selection parameters and device capability. The selective choice of at least a subset of the application can provide an acceptable depth and delivery of data to improve the user experience. Text and standard data experiences can be combined with an audio counterpart, with pre-loaded client-side media files, and/or with pre-loaded client-side media files and a live audio stream, which can enrich a user experience.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2008Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jonathan Paul McCartie, George Allen Rothrock, Nicholas Andrew Glassman, David Alan Kosiba

Patent number: 8799801Abstract: Ticker functionality provides filtering and displaying information relevant to a user. The ticker can be employed to parse information from a broadcast stream and insert the information into a ticker display area. The information presented in the display area can be animated in order to maximize and control the amount of information available to the user. The information offered in the ticker is interactive so that it allows the user to customize this abbreviated data and how the data is presented.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2008Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jonathan Paul McCartie, George Allen Rothrock, Nicholas Andrew Glassman

Publication number: 20090182886Abstract: A digital broadcast network is disclosed that can provide information at different frequency repetition rates in order to mitigate delay of information at a receiving device. A data stream can be divided into sets of data and depending on how each set of data will be consumed by a user, respective weights or priorities can be assigned to each set. Based on the weight or priority, at least one set of data can repeat more frequently within the data stream than other sets of data. Thus, upon receiving the data stream, the set of data repeated more frequently can be rendered on a user device at substantially the same time as the information is requested. Assigning a more frequent repetition rate of certain sets of data allows the receiving device to quickly obtain and render more important data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2008Publication date: July 16, 2009Applicant: QUALCOMM INCORPORATEDInventors: Jonathan Paul McCartie, George Allen Rothrock, Nicholas Andrew Glassman, Michael K.
