Publication number: 20220375334Abstract: A control device is used to autonomously program a remote control device based on media device information received from a media device. The control device selects a program code set based on the media device information. The control device transmits a program code set to the remote control device and a test command. The test command causes the remote control device to transmit a program code from the program code set based on the test command. The control device monitors the media device and verifies that the program code associated with the test command controlled the associated function of the media device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Cesar MORENO, Navneeth KANNAN, William RYAN

Publication number: 20220377410Abstract: A control device connected to a media device can autonomously return the active source input of the media device to a previously selected active source input. Any client device within a network may be able to switch the active source input of the media device to the source input associated with the device so as to deliver media content to the media device. Tor return to the previous active source input generally requires user intervention. However, the control device can store the previous active source input of the media device and then, when the media content is terminated or the client device disconnects from the media device, transmit a source input command that causes the media device to cycle through the plurality of source inputs associated with the media device until the active source input is the previous source input without requiring any user intervention.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Cesar MORENO, Navneeth KANNAN, William RYAN

Patent number: 8089502Abstract: A videophone system providing high resolution video transmission between videophones utilizes compressed video signals and audio signals which may be transmitted through any communications network, with the system providing real time adaptive error recovery and synchronization between the audio and video signals to produce high quality video images and sound. The system is highly resilient, adapting in real time to changing conditions in a network or to network errors due to data corruption or loss that can be produced, for example, by noise or line losses, thereby substantially eliminating fitter, signal packet loss or delay, or other errors which produce signal degradation.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2005Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: Worldgate Service, Inc.Inventors: Hal M. Krisbergh, Joseph E. Augenbraun, Randell E. Jesup, Maire D. Reavy, Randall J. Gort, Navneeth Kannan, Whitney D. Blackmon, Richard W. Westerfer, David E. Wachob

Patent number: 8063928Abstract: System and method for providing personal videotelephony in which a plurality of videophones are connected to a communications network that is configured for transmitted video and audio communications. Each of the videophones typically includes a camera, display device, telephone keypad, speaker and microphone all of which are operatively connected. The videophones further include means for selectably receiving and transmitting signals over the communications network, which signals represent images and/or sound, and for selectably displaying the signals representing any received signals representing the images on the display screen, and for playing any received signals representing the sounds on said speaker. Means are also provided for selectably accessing a remote location, such as, but not limited to, another videophone, using information entered or selected by a user of the videophone, and to retrieve the signals representing the images and sounds being transmitted from the remote location.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2006Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Worldgate Service, Inc.Inventors: Hal M. Krisbergh, Joseph E. Augenbraun, Randell E. Jesup, Randall J. Gort, Maire D. Reavy, Navneeth Kannan, Whitney D. Blackmon, Richard W. Westerfer, David E. Wachob

Publication number: 20010038690Abstract: A method and system for managing telephone services and for synchronizing with video services is disclosed in which a subscriber selects and requests services through a selection device such as a telephone keypad and a video display (such as a television) displays information associated with the selected or requested service. An auto-mute feature is provided to mute the TV device when an off-hook event is detected. A service synchronization module temporarily interrupts the delivery of a video program upon the occurrence of a telephone call by pausing or recording the program and resumes the delivery after the telephone call is terminated.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2000Publication date: November 8, 2001Inventors: Douglas Palmer, Navneeth Kannan, Paul F.
