Publication number: 20180278988Abstract: Improved systems and methods to navigate, browse, search and/or playback digital media assets (e.g., media items) hosted on a media server are disclosed. One embodiment of the invention pertains to a user interface arrangement, such as a hierarchical menu system, that facilitates navigation, browsing and playing of media items remotely stored on a media server. The user interface arrangement enables user scrolling or browsing with respect to a list or set of information pertaining to media items, where the list or set can be expanded to include information for additional media items that are subsequently acquired. The user interface arrangement can also present and permit navigation of categorized media items. The user interface arrangement can be presented on a display device associated with a client device. In one embodiment, the display device can be a television and the client device can be an electronic apparatus that can couple to the media server via a network.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2018Publication date: September 27, 2018Inventors: Rachel Clare Goldeen, Jeffrey Ma, Michael Margolis, Rainer Brodersen, Calin Pacurariu, Jeffrey L.

Patent number: 8116257Abstract: A method of calculating local time, in an intelligent network, of a subscriber's User Equipment (UE), determines whether a call originates or terminates with the UE, the UTC offset and DST observance indicator for the (G)MSC signaling the intelligent network, and a determination is of whether the UE is in a Problem Area cell site. If the UE is in a Problem Area cell site, the received time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) Offset is corrected. A Cell Global Identity (CGI) is used to lookup the UTC Offset and a Daylight Saving Time (DST) observance indicator for the Cell Site. For calls terminating with the UE, if the UE is not in a Problem Area cell site, the VLR serving the UE is used to lookup the UTC offset and DST observance indicator for the subscriber. A time zone delta is applied to the call time of day and the UTC Offset and if DST is in effect, and there is a difference of DST between an MSC serving the UE and the location associated with the UE, a DST delta is applied to call time of day.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2008Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (PUBL)Inventor: Michael Margolis

Publication number: 20110074831Abstract: A system and method for navigating pages of content on a target device is disclosed. The target device has a display area that is typically smaller than a page of content. Rather than having the user use scroll bars or finger gestures to view the entire page, a predetermined sequence of frames are displayed to the user. A frame is a preselected portion of a page. The user simply indicates when he has completed reading or viewing the current frame, and the next frame is then presented in the display area. This predetermined sequence is generated by the content provider or author, who uploads both the content and the frame sequence to a server, where it can be accessed by potential users.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2010Publication date: March 31, 2011Applicant: Opsis Distribution, LLCInventors: Stephen Lynch, Brett Dovman, Wade Slitkin, Michael Margolis, Aaron Haney, Jules Janssen
