Patent number: 11541319Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to filtering stream chat messages. In some aspects, a process of the disclosed technology can include operations for receiving messages from a plurality of user accounts, detecting a section trigger indicating one or more filtering attributes, and filtering messages based on the filtering attribute. In some aspects, the process can further include operations for creating a section, adding one or more users to it and generating a section level, where the section level and messages associated with it are displayed to the added users. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT LLCInventors: Christopher Thielbar, Matthew Bloom-Calin, Yuji Tsuchikawa

Patent number: 11210332Abstract: Systems and methods for mapped views of digital content are provided. A map structure for a collection of digital content streams from a content provider may be stored in memory. Such map structure may include a predetermined plurality of slots arranged in one or more tiers. A browsing request may be received from a spectator device over a communication network, and such browsing request may be identified as pertaining to the collection of digital content streams. A mapped view of the requested collection may be generated that illustrates the predetermined plurality of slots arranged in the tiers in accordance with the stored map structure. Further, information regarding browsing activity by the spectator device within the generated mapped view may be received and evaluated to identify when the spectator device selects one of the illustrated slots.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment LLCInventors: Christopher Thielbar, Matthew Bloom-Carlin, Yuji Tsuchikawa

Patent number: 11159595Abstract: Systems and methods for contextual layers for digital content are provided. Contextual information regarding a digital content stream may be stored in memory. Different sets of the contextual information may be associated with different predefined parts of the digital content stream. A request may be received from a user device over a communication network. Such request may concern context for a scene within the digital content stream, The scene may be identified as associated with at least one of the predefined parts of the digital content stream, One of the stored sets of contextual information may be retrieved based on the at least one predefined part of the digital content stream. A contextual layer may be generated based on the retrieved set of contextual information. Such contextual layer may include a presentation of the retrieved set of contextual information to be overlaid on at least part of the scene within the digital content stream.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT LLCInventors: Christopher Thielbar, Matthew Bloom-Carlin, Yuji Tsuchikawa

Publication number: 20060047218Abstract: A user-retainable monitoring system is disclosed. At least a pair of sensors is provided in association with a support member. The support member is preferably of a type that may be worn by or at least temporarily implanted in a patient. Possible sensor types include temperature sensors and impedance sensors. Temperature sensors may be used to detect a temperature differential between areas of tissue indicative of pathology. Impedance sensors are used to detect subcutaneous fluid detection. The support member may take the form of a bandage, drain or other structure. Monitor structures as described may have stand-alone utility or be connected to a processor or data recorder to enable various functions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2005Publication date: March 2, 2006Inventors: Matthew Bloom, WM. Leroy Heinrichs, Gregory Kovacs, David Salzberg
