Publication number: 20240073279Abstract: Aspects as described herein are directed to providing an enhanced user experience for consuming content on a computing device. Secondary computing devices, such as handheld smartphones and tablet-style computers, may be identified by a primary computing device, such as a set-top box. The secondary computing devices may be configured to receive actionable instructions from the primary computing device. An actionable event associated with content being outputted to a user via the primary computing device may be determined and an actionable instruction may be transmitted to the secondary computing device in response to the determined actionable event.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Stephen Ziring, David Nicholas Voyles, Kalila Sharafi, Charles White, Maurice Gaston, Bryan Yurasits

Patent number: 10652348Abstract: According to some aspects of the disclosure, when a computing device sends a request for content, such as an Internet page, the computing device can include with the request one or more device context parameters, such as the computing device's power preferences (e.g., current battery level), wireless settings, network connection, etc. The content provider may then use this device context information to select the most appropriate version of the requested content. One example of device context information may be a low-power power save mode setting, or other mode setting.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2018Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Daniel Freiman, Maurice Gaston

Patent number: 9280844Abstract: An animation system may allow users to create animations by accessing a matrix of possible animation images, in which images may be arranged to be adjacent to one another based on similarity, and allowing a user to select one or more images. The system may then determine an animation path through the matrix or group of images. A display system can retrieve and display images along the path to generate an animation.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Andrew Larkin, Maurice Gaston

Publication number: 20150373408Abstract: A sensor-based system may detect users in a space who are consuming content, such as watching a television program. The system may capture images of the users, recognize features such as their faces and bodies to identify them, and capture a control signal, such as an infrared flash from a remote control device. The system may determine which user was manipulating the remote control, and may then associate the remote control command with the identified user. In this manner, users may be provided with a customized interactive experience.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2014Publication date: December 24, 2015Inventors: Bryan Yurasits, Maurice Gaston
