Patent number: 11722745Abstract: Systems and methods are described for searching media files using a set-top box (STB), a television receiver, digital video recorder (DVR), placeshifting device or other media device, or any type of network host that communicates with a media device of any sort. Search criteria is received from a user, and the search criteria is identified in listings of media programming available from one or more sources. In some implementations, a combined search result can be provided that identifies instances of the search criteria found in program guide listings, files stored on a digital video recorder (DVR), available on-demand content, or any other sources as desired. Some implementations may prioritize search results using information about files stored on a DVR, user preferences, or any other information as desired.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Sling Media L.L.C.Inventors: John Paul, Myles Cagney, Peter Mark Hennessy

Publication number: 20210281480Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for defining and implementing an ephemeral portion of a configuration state on a network device that does not persist upon coming up after experiencing a power loss event of the network device. For example, systems disclosed herein include receiving information indicating commands or policies of a configuration state that may be defined as ephemeral. The systems disclosed herein include generating and maintaining an ephemeral definition that includes modes, XPaths, and other identifiers of characteristics and specific command nodes within a hierarchical structure of commands that should be treated as ephemeral when rebooting the network device. The systems described herein provide an effective and convenient tool for defining an ephemeral portion of a configuration state that does not persist when the network device recovers from a power loss event.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2020Publication date: September 9, 2021Inventors: Alberto GONZALEZ PRIETO, Mark HENNESSY, Anish Sagar NARSIAN

Patent number: 10567356Abstract: Monitoring of cloud computing environments subject to different data control policies is performed in a manner that ensures compliance with the data control policies. A monitoring service is located in a remote cloud computing environment separate from the cloud computing environments being monitored. The monitoring service does not have access to restricted data in the cloud computing environments, including access control data, such that the monitoring service cannot directly interact with network devices. The monitoring service issues requests for monitoring data to device access services in the cloud computing environments. In response to the requests, the device access services obtain access control data to access the network devices and obtain the requested data, which is returned to the monitoring service.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Parvez Anandam, Ramnath Prasad, Pradeep Ayyappan Nair, Lihua Yuan, Percy Fitter, Mark Hennessy, Mohammad Qudeisat, Rashid Aga, Deepal Jayasinghe, George Chen, David Maltz, Albert Greenberg, Thomas Keane

Patent number: 10371538Abstract: An online system associated with a venue provides an application to client devices that allows a user to select an additional user from information accessible to a client device and to identify a meeting point within the venue for the user and the additional user to meet. The application identifies the additional user to an online system, which determines whether the additional user also uses the online system and is within a threshold distance of the venue. If the additional user is a user of the online system and is within the threshold distance of the venue, the online system transmits a request to travel to the meeting point to a client device associated with the additional user. The online system also provides directions to the user's client device and to the additional user's client device for the user and the additional user, respectively, to travel to the meeting point.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2016Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: VenueNext, Inc.Inventor: Peter Mark Hennessy

Patent number: 9178923Abstract: Systems and methods are described for remotely controlling a personal or digital video recorder (PVR/DVR), a set top box (STB), a placeshifting device, or any other media server. A communications session is established between a server host and the media server in response to a connection request received from the client. Information about the content processed at the media server is received via the session and provided to the client. In response to subsequent instructions received from the client, the media server can be controlled, or other actions can be taken, by providing directions to the media server from the host via the communications session. Additional or alternate features may be provided as desired.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2009Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: EchoStar Technologies L.L.C.Inventors: John Paul, Myles Cagney, Peter Mark Hennessy
