Patent number: 11747967Abstract: Different types of media experiences can be developed based on characteristics of the consumer. “Linear” experiences may require execution of a pre-built script, although the script could be dynamically modified by a media production platform. Linear experiences can include guided audio tours that are modified or updated based on the location of the consumer. “Enhanced” experiences include conventional media content that is supplemented with intelligent media content. For example, turn-by-turn directions could be supplemented with audio descriptions about the surrounding area. “Freeform” experiences, meanwhile, are those that can continually morph based on information gleaned from a consumer. For example, a radio station may modify what content is being presented based on the geographical metadata uploaded by a computing device associated with the consumer.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2022Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Descript, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Terrill Holmes, Steven Surmacz Rubin, Ulf Schwekendiek, David John Williams

Patent number: 10798164Abstract: Introduced here are computer-implemented techniques for facilitating communication between a central processing system and one or more computing devices. The central processing system can intelligently communicate with at least some of the computing device(s). Moreover, the central processing system can simultaneously or sequentially utilize sensor data generated by multiple computing devices that are known to be associated with one another. For example, if multiple computing devices are known to be in the same general geographical location, then the central processing system may only require that one computing device upload geographical metadata for analysis. If the computing device experiences any issues that prevent the geographical metadata from being uploaded, then the central processing system can automatically prompt another computing device to temporarily or permanently assume the role of leader.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2017Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Bose CorporationInventors: Ryan Terrill Holmes, Ulf Schwekendiek

Patent number: 10584974Abstract: Location-based media content can be consumed by end users via a software program that executes on a computing device. More specifically, the software program may be supported by a content distribution platform that allows multiple end users to experience the same location-based media content substantially simultaneously. The content distribution platform may also permit multiple computing devices to be synced. For example, the computing devices may be communicatively coupled over a first communication channel (e.g., via Bluetooth®) and/or a second communication channel (e.g., via the Internet or a cellular network). In some embodiments, the content distribution platform dynamically changes the media content based on real-life events, such as weather, ambient noise level, time of day, walking speed, etc. For example, a guided audio tour could be dynamically modified based on whether a business along the intended route is open when the end user(s) elect to begin the tour.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2017Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: BOSE CORPORATIONInventor: Ryan Terrill Holmes
