Publication number: 20240022781Abstract: The subject matter of the present disclosure can be implemented by, among other things, a remote control device configured to receive an identifier, present a plurality of controllable devices for selection on a display of the remote control device, and receive a selection of two or more controllable devices via the user interface. Using the identifier, a session with the two or more controllable devices is generated and performances of a same task by the two or more controllable devices are controlled by the remote control device by transmitting a message containing control information and the identifier to a network service.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Daniel Danciu, Yaniv Bernstein, Ramona Bobohalma, Oliver Heckmann, Jasmine Kent, Alin Sinpalean

Patent number: 11800175Abstract: The subject matter of the present disclosure can be implemented in, among other things a computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions for causing a programmable processor to receive, by a server, a first message from a remote control that is distinct from and external to the server, wherein the first message includes a remote control identifier and control information for controlling one or more functions of at least one device other than the remote control. The instructions also cause the programmable processor to retrieve, by the server, a controlled device identifier that uniquely identifies a controlled device that is distinct from and external to the server. The instructions also cause the programmable processor to send a second message from the server to the controlled device identified by the controlled device identifier to control an operation of the controlled device.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Daniel Danciu, Yaniv Bernstein, Ramona Bobohalma, Oliver Heckmann, Jasmine Kent, Alin Sinpalean

Patent number: 11368500Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems for an automatic device discovery. A registration request is transmitted to register a media device with a server, the registration request comprising a device identifier associated with the media device. A discovery request is caused to be issued to allow client devices previously registered with the server and connected to the first network to discover the media device, wherein the discovery request is to cause at least a subset of the client devices previously registered with the server and connected to the first network to initiate discovery of the media device without requesting permission from a user of a respective client device to initiate the discovery of the media device, wherein the at least the subset of the client devices includes two or more client devices each associated with an auto-connect status.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2021Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Julien Marchand, Ramona Bobohalma, Daniel Kaemmerer, Sana Mithani

Patent number: 10999331Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems for an automatic device discovery and connection protocol via a multi-device experience server. The server may register user devices and associate them with a local network. Upon receiving a request from a media device on the local network, the server may trigger a user device to automatically discover and connect to the media device, increasing speed of discovery and connections, reducing required user control and direction, and enhancing connectivity and communications between the devices, providing new channels for interaction.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2016Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Julien Marchand, Ramona Bobohalma, Daniel Kaemmerer, Sana Mithani
