Patent number: 9384424Abstract: Methods and systems are described for providing customized user experiences with media assets created using plenoptic content capture technology. The ability to increase the focus on different objects while the media asset is progressing may allow a user to more easily track the object. Conversely, the ability to decrease the focus on different objects while the media asset is progressing may block, or cloud the display of, the object from being seen by a user.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2015Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Melvin Grefalda, Richard Bullwinkle, Thomas Woods, Jason Conness, Minah Oh, Phil Golyshko

Publication number: 20140089981Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting shortcuts in free spaces of a program guide are provided. Shortcut buttons may be placed in certain program information cells in the program guide. In some embodiments, these placements may be determined by making automatic determinations using characteristics or data associated with the program information cells. In one example, a subset of the program information cells that are bounded by an end time not displayed in the time bar of the first screen of the program guide are automatically determined. Shortcut button may be placed within these program information cells that, when selected, cause the media guidance application to automatically advance or translate the rendering of the program grid to a portion of the guide that contains listings for the channel associated with the program information cells after they end (e.g., finish broadcast or are available on demand).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2012Publication date: March 27, 2014Applicant: UNITED VIDEO PROPERTIES, INC.Inventors: Camron Shimy, Jason Conness

Patent number: 8555315Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for navigating a media guidance application with multiple perspective views. A first of a plurality of media guidance objects may be displayed in a first perspective view that appears flat on the screen. A second media guidance object may be displayed in a second perspective view that appears to be going into the screen creating the appearance of a fold between the first and second media guidance application objects at a location where the first perspective view changes into the second perspective view. The second media guidance object in the second perspective view may be caused to slide through the fold into the first perspective view. The second media guidance object displayed in the first perspective view may be selected. An action may be performed for a media asset corresponding to the selected media guidance object.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2009Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: United Video Properties, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Steven Woods, Jason Conness, Christopher Bauder
