Patent number: 9813459Abstract: Methods, systems and devices are provided for placeshifting data. An exemplary method of placeshifting a media program from a first device to a second device involves receiving, by a server on a network, from the second device, a request for a placeshifting session over the network with the first device, identifying, by the server, recommended communications configuration information for the placeshifting session, and providing, by the server, the recommended communications configuration information to one of the second device and the first device in response to the request.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2016Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Sling Media Inc.Inventors: Andrey L. Abramov, Yohann Georges, Sachin D. Mule

Patent number: 9753985Abstract: A configuration settings datastore is partitioned into data groups. Each data group includes a set of configuration settings, a set of membership criteria, and a weight. A request is received for configuration settings for a networked device, the request including a set of parameters associated with the networked device. A set of desired configuration settings are selected from the datastore based on the sets of membership criteria, the set of parameters, and the weights of the plurality of data groups. The desired configuration settings are then transmitted to the networked device.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2013Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignees: Sling Media PVT Ltd., Sling Media, Inc.Inventors: Sachin D. Mule, Andrey L. Abramov, Yohann Georges

Patent number: 8799258Abstract: An automated diagnostic system is presented here. The system includes a network-enabled device, a remote network-based search engine, and a data communication network to facilitate data communication between the network-enabled device and the remote network-based search engine. The device automatically detects a problem, error, or failure associated with its operation, and automatically sends a corresponding search query to the remote network-based search engine. The search engine receives the search query and, in response to the search query, searches for relevant information pertaining to the problem, error, or failure, and sends a corresponding response to the network-enabled device. The response includes response data having some contextual association with the solution. The device receives the response, processes at least some of the response data to determine a course of action, and initiates that course of action.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2013Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Sling Media Pvt.

Patent number: 8689104Abstract: A method of providing a description of a remote control device to a communication device configured to interact with an electronic device over a communication network as a remote control device is presented. In the method, the communication device transfers an indication of the electronic device over the network to a communication node. Afterward, the communication device receives the description of the remote control device associated with the electronic device from the node over the network. The communication device transfers a command associated with the remote control device over the network to the electronic device, wherein the command is generated using the description of the remote control device.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2012Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Sling Media PVT LtdInventors: Venkatesan Thiyagarajan, Arun L. Gangotri, Sachin D. Mule, Madan Mohan Nayak
