Patent number: 9485531Abstract: A networked personal video recording (“PVR”) system couples a plurality of clients to one or more PVR media servers over a network. One or more PVR media servers include television tuners to tune television signals. A storage medium buffers the television signals to implement PVR functionality. For example, the PVR media server records television programs for clients. Clients are assigned to television tuners, and the clients display television programs received at the assigned tuner. The network transfers the buffered television signals to the clients.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2014Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Rovi Solutions CorporationInventors: Daniel Putterman, Brad Dietrich, Jeremy Toeman, Pedro Freitas, Ludovic Legrand, Shawn McCaffrey, James Grimm, Lijia Jin, Paul Novaes

Publication number: 20070220580Abstract: A user interface for a media convergence platform is disclosed. The television based user interface presents different types of media within a single user interface. The user interface displays, on a television display, selectable items to represent a music application, a photo albums application, a video application, and an Internet content application. The user selects an item displayed on the television display to invoke an application. The music application permits a user to select music available within the media convergence platform, and to playback the music through a device in the media convergence platform. The photo albums application permits a user to select one or more photos available within the media convergence platform, and to view the photos through a device in the media convergence platform.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2002Publication date: September 20, 2007Inventors: Daniel Putterman, Brad Dietrich, Pedro Freitas, Jeremy Toeman, John Doornbos, Paul Novaes, Keith Craigie, Anne Swabb, David Williams
