Patent number: 10341717Abstract: An exemplary method includes a content delivery system determining that a user profile of a user is logged in to a first access device during a media content session associated with the first access device in which the first access device presents media content to the user, detecting that the user moves outside a vicinity of the first access device while the user profile is logged in to the first access device during the media content session, identifying, in response to the user moving outside the vicinity of the first access device, a second access device associated with the user and that is within a vicinity of the user, and automatically providing, in response to the identifying, session management content corresponding to the media content session associated with the first access device for presentation by the second access device while the user is outside the vicinity of the first access device. Corresponding systems and methods are also described.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2014Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Venkata S. Adimatyam, Sameer Gavade, Tariq Roshan

Patent number: 9967635Abstract: A device may detect an emergency alert system message. The emergency alert system message may include a message to be provided for consumption by multiple users. The device may determine that the emergency alert system message has not been successfully delivered for consumption by a user. The device may store the emergency alert system message, for future delivery, based on determining that the emergency alert system message has not been successfully delivered for consumption by the user. The device may receive an indication to provide the emergency alert system message after storing the emergency alert system message. The device may provide the emergency alert system message, for consumption by the user, based on receiving the indication to provide the emergency alert system message.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2014Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Sameer Gavade, Venkata S.

Patent number: 9891780Abstract: A customized user interface service includes a self-customization and an auto-customization of user interfaces. A user interface is customized based on usage data of the user. The usage data includes historical navigational data. The usage data is analyzed to identify a pattern of usage. The user interface is customized based on the identified pattern of usage. The customized user interface service also allows a user to select and execute customizations.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2013Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Venkata S.

Patent number: 9559890Abstract: A routing device determines data associating commands with devices connected to a local area network (LAN). The routing device receives a request for execution of a particular command and identifies a particular device to execute the particular command based on the command data. The routing device generates an instruction message that causes the particular device to execute the particular command, and the routing device forwards the instruction message to the particular device via the LAN. The request may be received via a wide area network (WAN), and the request may include an address for the routing device on the WAN. When generating the instruction message, the routing device may replace, in the request, the address for the routing device with an address associated with the particular device. The instruction message may further include parameters associated with execution of the particular command by the particular device.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2014Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: VERIZON PATENT AND LICENSING INC.Inventors: Sameer Gavade, Tariq Roshan, Venkata S.

Patent number: 9438745Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium stores executable instructions to provide a program service; predict whether a disruption in the program service is to occur; generate and transmit a message, which indicates a predicted disruption of the program service, to user devices; switch to another program device, by the user devices, to receive the program service; transmit another message to the user device when the disruption is over. Additionally, a method, a device, and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium stores executable instructions to provide a failure over service that informs other user devices that an in-home server device is down, and a backup service that includes storing program service data, which includes recorded programs and user settings, on the in-home server device and a cloud device. The backup service also includes a recovery service that restores the program service data when the in-home server device is replaced.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2014Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: VERIZON PATENT AND LICENSING INC.Inventors: Venkata S.

Patent number: 9282368Abstract: A first media client may set a parental control feature of the first media client to a first setting. The first media client may determine an occurrence of an event associated with the parental control feature. The first media client may determine a second setting of a parental control feature of a second media client. The second media client may be different from the first media client. The first media client may determine that the second setting is a more restrictive setting relative to the first setting. The first media client may set the parental control feature of the first media client to the second setting based on the occurrence of the event and based on the second setting being the more restrictive setting.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2013Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: VERIZON PATENT AND LICENSING INC.Inventors: Venkata S Adimatyam, Sameer Gavade, Tariq Roshan

Patent number: 9167297Abstract: Content, such as video content, may be encoded using encoders that are installed at encoding devices of customers of a telecommunications provider. In one implementation, a server device may maintain presence information relating to an operational state of a number of set-top boxes installed at customer residences; receive an indication of content that is to be encoded; and select a set-top box, of the set-top boxes, to encode the segment, the set-top box being selected based on the operational state of the set-top boxes. The server may further transmit, to the selected set-top box, instructions to initiate encoding of the content and to provide an encoding format for the content; and update the presence information to reflect a result of encoding of the content by the selected set-top box.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2014Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: VERIZON PATENT AND LICENSING INC.Inventors: Sameer Gavade, Venkata S.
