  • Publication number: 20260012688
    Abstract: A bridge system may enable real-time broadcast graphics generation and receive live or near real-time event-related data from a web-based access module via a WebSocket protocol. Event-related data may be translated from a web-based API format to broadcast graphics hardware specific protocols. Two-way communication may be established between the web-based access module and broadcast graphics hardware by relaying messages from the access module to the graphics hardware via a first protocol and relaying messages from the graphics hardware back to the access module via a second protocol. Constructed graphics encoded with the translated event-related data may be automatically transmitted to the broadcast graphics hardware ready for live broadcast display.

  • Publication number: 20250390077
    Abstract: A GPI device includes a communication port for receiving a GPI signal from a first device, one or more processors; and a memory comprising program instructions. The program instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the GPI device to assign a command to the GPI signal when the GPI device receives the GPI signal from the first device and transmit the command to a second device. The transmission of the command may be triggered by the received GPI signal. The command may include a script, such as a python script. The command may also include triggering transmission of a live broadcast, switching between graphics during the live broadcast, or a combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 12418705
    Abstract: A platform including a modification module and an access module may receive live or near real-time event-related data from a data source. The modification module may receive HTTP requests from a browser of a user device for the event-related data and transmit the event related data in response to a push request or on-demand. The modification module may receive event-related data manipulations from the browser and transmit modifications to the event related data to the browser resulting from the manipulations. The modification module may further receive publication requests from the browser to publish data. The data may include a graphic designation and an associated set of event-related data. The data may be published to the access module. The access module may map the data to a specific graphic format, and publish the mapped data to one or more downstream clients.
