Patent number: 9358470Abstract: An integrated gaming and media experience is disclosed, including television viewing on a gaming console. A client component is installed via a bootstrap process that uses authentication information to accomplish this task. Once installed, it integrates itself into a typical gaming display. Various console hardware details are used to enable communication between the client component and downstream servers providing the content. Once up and running, the client component allows users to watch television as if they were interacting with a set-top box. Users may switch between various applications on the gaming console, including but not limited to game titles, DVR, VOD, DVD programs, and so on.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2014Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Todd Roshak, Jason White, Chris Turkstra, Min Liu, Logananth Seetharaman, Edmund Lui, Anthony Discolo, Stacey Law, Adam Mollis

Patent number: 8083593Abstract: An integrated gaming and media experience is disclosed, including recording of content on a gaming console. A digital video recorder (DVR) application running alongside a television client component allows users to record media content on the gaming console. The DVR application also integrates itself with the console menu. Once integrated, users can record media content while playing games. Alternatively, users can record content when the gaming console is turned off. The recorded content can include television programming, gaming experience (whether local or online), music, DVDs, and so on. When in the recording state, users can also switch between various other media modes, whether gaming, television, and so on.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2007Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jason White, Todd Roshak, Chris Turkstra, Logananth Seetharaman, Timothy Milligan, Stacey Law, Anthony Discolo

Patent number: 7836107Abstract: A disk-seek optimized file system is provided that may be advantageously deployed in a computer system that supports simultaneous Digital Video Recorder (DVR) functionality and user interaction, such as recording several television (TV) shows while simultaneously supporting a video game played by a user. A computing device hard drive is logically divided into “chunks,”—a first chunk comprising volume metadata, and subsequent chunks comprising equal size “blocks.” A first block of a subsequent chunk comprises block bitmaps and a stream identifier table. The block bitmaps indicate subsequent blocks in the chunk that contain stream data for particular streams, which are identified in corresponding entries in the stream identifier table.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2007Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Shaheen Ashok Gandhi, Timothy Seeds Milligan, Logananth Seetharaman

Publication number: 20060225107Abstract: A system is described that is specifically adapted for use in a resource-constrained set-top box environment. The system uses an interpreter-based common language runtime (CLR) that is specifically configured for use in the set-top box environment. The system also includes a unique application manager and UIpane manager that are specifically configured for use in the set-top box environment. The application manager pauses a current application when another application presents a user interface presentation which interferes with the current application's user interface presentation. In addition, the system includes graphics functionality for providing transitions effects, for allowing a user to change color palette and resolution, and so forth. The graphics functionality directly uses the graphics capabilities of the set top box (such as the set top box's line control register) whenever possible to enable applications to execute more quickly.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2005Publication date: October 5, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Logananth Seetharaman, Min Liu, Edmund Lui, Dennis Cronin, Adam Mollis, Vijaye Raji, Peter Barrett
