Publication number: 20240022776Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for distributing content over a local area network (LAN) between a first device within the LAN and a second device within the LAN. A first device multicasts a LAN-specific content beacon over the LAN. The LAN-specific content beacon includes an identifier uniquely identifying the first device. A second device sends a response to the LAN-specific content beacon requesting secondary content to be integrated into a display of the second device. The first device generates the secondary content based on profile information associated with the second device and unicasts the secondary content to the second device for integration into primary content being generated for display at the second device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventor: George Grigore

Patent number: 11871060Abstract: The system generates a display providing storyline information. The display includes, for example, a plurality of storyline identifiers, a plurality of time period indicators, and a plurality of episode indicators. Episode indicators indicate an episode having a segment of the storyline corresponding to a storyline identifier. The system may receive a user input selecting a storyline, or further filtering an existing storyline to tailor the displayed information more closely to a storyline of interest. The system updates the display to each reflect segments within episodes corresponding to the selected storyline identifier. The display may include a grid, with the storyline identifiers arranged along one axis and the time period indicators arranged along a different axis. The system may process metadata to determine storylines, and filter what information is displayed based on user input, the metadata, or both. Storylines include, for example, characters, locations, plots, teams, players, or other attributes.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventor: George Grigore
