Publication number: 20230223048Abstract: A video is generated from an audio file by transcribing the audio file into texts and breaking the audio file into one or more segments or shots used as scenes. A media piece is then matched to each shot; the media pieces are properly contextualized based on the text or attributes of the audio associated with the shot, the overall script or theme, an intended audience, or other factors. The resulting video is then created by stitching the media pieces together.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Jeremy Toeman, John Thomas White, Scott Hilton Havird, Alex Gurzhi, Niranjan Salimath

Publication number: 20230186424Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a media content item having first and second portions adapted for presentation according to first and second viewports that facilitate access to an extended portion of the media content item otherwise inaccessible via the first viewport. First and second display devices are associated together, configuration parameters are determined, and a viewport configuration is identified for the first and second viewports according to the configuration parameters. The first and second portions of the media content items are received by the first and second display devices to facilitate first and second presentations of the first and second portions of the media content item. The first and second presentations, according to the viewport configuration, provide a collective display of the extended portion of the media content item. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2021Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicants: Interwise Ltd., AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Gil From, Avigayil Bar-Asher, Jeremy Toeman

Patent number: 9485531Abstract: A networked personal video recording (“PVR”) system couples a plurality of clients to one or more PVR media servers over a network. One or more PVR media servers include television tuners to tune television signals. A storage medium buffers the television signals to implement PVR functionality. For example, the PVR media server records television programs for clients. Clients are assigned to television tuners, and the clients display television programs received at the assigned tuner. The network transfers the buffered television signals to the clients.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2014Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Rovi Solutions CorporationInventors: Daniel Putterman, Brad Dietrich, Jeremy Toeman, Pedro Freitas, Ludovic Legrand, Shawn McCaffrey, James Grimm, Lijia Jin, Paul Novaes

Publication number: 20150188965Abstract: A network client aggregates media items available in a media system. The network consists of a plurality of nodes, including at least two media server nodes. A client node generates an internal request to obtain a list of media items available in the media system. In response, the client node generates a request for a list of media items from each individual media server node on the network. Each media server node sends their list of media items to the client node. The client node aggregates the lists of media items from each of the media server nodes. Thus, a list of media items available on the media system is aggregated to a requesting client node in the media system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2014Publication date: July 2, 2015Inventors: Daniel Putterman, Brad Dietrich, John Doornbos, Jeremy Toeman

METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR RENDERING USER INTERFACES AND DISPLAY INFORMATION ON REMOTE CLIENT DEVICES
Publication number: 20140201636Abstract: A user interface is implemented on a client device remote from a host device. The host device operates an application program that implements a user interface, such as an electronic programming guide or a guide for a personal video recorder, that permits a user to control at least one target device. The host device transfers to the client device an identification of at least one scene. In general, a scene defines an abstract layout for at least one screen display of the user interface. The client device generates at least one screen display for the scene based on its interpretation of the scene. The client device then displays the screen as an implementation of the user interface. Thereafter, a user initiates, using the client device, an operation to control the target device. In response, the target device performs the operation. The host device may also display information at a client device For example, the host device may transmit information about a media currently playing at the client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2013Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: ROVI SOLUTIONS CORPORATIONInventors: Pedro Freitas, Daniel Putterman, Jeremy Toeman, Brad Dietrich -

Patent number: 7574723Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method is described. The method includes receiving a request at a control module from a first remote device to access media data from a storage management module and determining that a first user is requesting access to the data based upon a first remote identification (ID). The method further includes opening a second stream between the playback module and the storage management module and receiving the data at the playback module.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2001Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: Macrovision CorporationInventors: Daniel Putterman, Brad Dietrich, David Williams, Jeremy Toeman, Michael Shiloh, Keith Craigie, John Doornbos, Paul Novaes, Song Huang, Terry Barsoom, Pedro Freitas

Publication number: 20070220580Abstract: A user interface for a media convergence platform is disclosed. The television based user interface presents different types of media within a single user interface. The user interface displays, on a television display, selectable items to represent a music application, a photo albums application, a video application, and an Internet content application. The user selects an item displayed on the television display to invoke an application. The music application permits a user to select music available within the media convergence platform, and to playback the music through a device in the media convergence platform. The photo albums application permits a user to select one or more photos available within the media convergence platform, and to view the photos through a device in the media convergence platform.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2002Publication date: September 20, 2007Inventors: Daniel Putterman, Brad Dietrich, Pedro Freitas, Jeremy Toeman, John Doornbos, Paul Novaes, Keith Craigie, Anne Swabb, David Williams
