  • Publication number: 20250149889
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for leveraging user premises supplied electric power to power active components in an information delivery network. In response to one or more conditions, an active component may switch an input power path from using grid-supplied or battery power to draw power from a user premises. The decision to switch the power path may be based on a number of conditions, for example, whether power is available from the grid, the relative cost of power from the user premises and whether the power from the user premises includes power from a renewable source.

  • Patent number: 12200067
    Abstract: Techniques for session-based device grouping are described. In an example, a computer system receives first data requesting an output, determines a function to provide content data based at least in part on the first data, determines a session identifier of a session associated with execution of the function, and determines session data associated with the session identifier. The session data includes a first device identifier of a first device, an indication that the first device is outputting the content data, and a second device identifier of a second device. The computer system also causes, based at least in part on the session data including the second device identifier, the second device to output the content data.

  • Patent number: 12095976
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for displaying content. In an aspect, a plurality of content items can be displayed on one user device according to user preference. An example method can comprise positioning a first set of pixels associated with a user device so that first content displayed via the first set of pixels can be viewable in a first viewing location. A second set of pixels associated with the user device can be positioned so that second content displayed via the second set of pixels can be viewable in a second viewing location. The second content can be different from the first content.
