Patent number: 9590753Abstract: Certain aspects of an apparatus and method for multiple media output may include a network comprising one or more media rendering devices communicably connected to a media manager. The media manager may be operable to separate a received single media signal into a first channel carrying a first content and a second channel carrying a second content. The media manager may be operable to wirelessly transmit first content via the first channel to a first media rendering device of the one or more media rendering devices and second content via the second channel to a second media rendering device of the one or more media rendering devices.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2012Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Tanmay Agnihotri, Guru Balasubramanian, Kalyana Kota, Srivastava Nanduri

Publication number: 20140289777Abstract: A device consistent with certain embodiments has a television receiver and an Internet Protocol television (IPTV) receiver. A decoder decodes television programming from either of the television receiver or the IPTV receiver. A programmed processor(s) retrieves metadata relating to television programming, IPTV content, any installed Widgets, and the television (TV) receiver device's function, all of which are considered search targets. The programmed processor stores tags from the metadata in a database and associates the tags with their targets. A search engine searches the database for tags in response to a search query and to retrieve the associated target on command. The control processor executes the target by either tuning to the target's program content or by launching or resuming a Widget or TV device function. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2014Publication date: September 25, 2014Inventors: Kalyana Kota, Ling-Jun Wong, Utkarsh Pandya

Patent number: 8806564Abstract: A request to transfer a consumer electronics (CE) executable application from a consumer electronics device to a TV device is received at the TV device. The CE executable application is received from the consumer electronics device. Application state information associated with the executable CE application is received from the consumer electronics device. The executable CE application and the application state information are stored to a memory. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2011Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics Inc.Inventors: Guru Prashanth Balasubramanian, Kalyana Kota, Utkarsh Pandya
