Publication number: 20230396756Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Edward David Monnerat, Jonathan Alan Leech, Nicholas Adam Pinckernell, Mehul Patel, Jasbir Rajpal, Garey Hoffman

Patent number: 11594886Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2015Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Edward David Monnerat, Nicholas Adam Pinckernell, Jonathan Alan Leech, Andy Martushev, Scott Moody, David B.

Publication number: 20220360737Abstract: Methods and systems are described for determining an image resource allocation for displaying content within a display area. An image or data capture device associated with a display device may capture an image of a space associated with the user or capture data related to other objects in the space. The viewing distance between the user and the display area (e.g., the display device) may be monitored and processed to determine and/or adjust the image resource allocation for content displayed within the display area. Prioritization data associated with the content may be used to determine and/or adjust the image resource allocation for content displayed within the display area.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Jonathan Alan Leech, Nicholas Adam Pinckernell, Edward David Monnerat, Chris Robinson, Derek Johnson
