Patent number: 11960446Abstract: The described technology is directed towards sending metadata related to a video to a client device, such as events that describe a portion of that video, such as in a hidden stream. In one or more implementations, the enhanced metadata comprises nodes used to build part of a relationship graph. This allows interested clients to switch between the feature playback and interacting with the metadata. Further, searches through the enhanced metadata may be performed to find matching video portions, and summaries or highlights of one or more videos may be assembled by accessing information in the enhanced metadata.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: HOME BOX OFFICE, INC.Inventors: Gregory John Bellingham, William A. McNamara, Brandon C. Furtwangler

Patent number: 11907201Abstract: The technology described herein is generally directed towards relating inconsistent identifiers of the same entertainment data entity (such as a movie) to one another. A global identification service, given an entertainment data entity identifier, returns identifier information and related data according to other naming conventions. Canonicalization rules and standards provide a consistent identifier for variously named/identified entertainment entities. A canonicalized identifier (or another identifier) may be part of a URN-based naming convention that identifies the entertainment data entity, as well as the organization that owns the entity and an authority within the organization that is responsible for that entertainment data entity.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: HOME BOX OFFICE, INC.Inventors: Jack Song, Gregory John Bellingham, Richard Kilgore

Patent number: 11405694Abstract: The described technology is directed towards an image providing service, including an image processing service that composites a base image into a resultant image, e.g., by resizing an image, overlaying text and so forth based upon a purpose for that image and/or a client device class; other parameters such as design information, protection and so forth also may be specified. When a client requests an image including by specifying a purpose and size in a request to an endpoint (e.g., URL) for an image, the image processing service locates or composites a resultant image corresponding to the request, and returns the resultant image or a modified (e.g., resized) resultant image in response to the request. Clients thus obtain images based upon a desired purpose without having to do client-side image processing including image compositing.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: HOME BOX OFFICE, INC.Inventors: Jack Song, Xinkai Wang, Gregory John Bellingham, Sata Busayarat, Brandon C.

Patent number: 11184358Abstract: The technology described herein is directed towards content rights data that are associated with content (a data item) to make that content selectively available or unavailable in responses by a data service to client requests. A client includes client content rights data in association with each request, (e.g., via a token), and the data service uses that client content rights data as query parameters (constraint criteria) in making a request for a data item. Client content rights data also may be used for accessing cached data. Availability constraints may include client location, brand, channel, device class and time (commence and cease).Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2020Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: HOME BOX OFFICE, INC.Inventor: Gregory John Bellingham

Patent number: 11019169Abstract: The described technology is directed towards having user interface objects rendered on a client device based upon provider data of at least part of a client provider graph. The client provider graph comprises a plurality of providers (graph nodes), in which each provider has provider data corresponding to user interface object data. The data of one provider has a reference set containing one or more references (e.g., edges) that each identify another provider, thus forming the graph. Client requests for other provider data are made based upon the reference set. The other provider data is received in response to the client requests, and is maintained at the client (e.g., in a client cache) to build the client graph.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: HOME BOX OFFICE, INC.Inventors: Sata Busayarat, Gregory John Bellingham, Brandon C.
