Patent number: 10819298Abstract: A method and system is presented for coordinating the transmission of supplemental digital data to accompany broadcast data, and in particular, analog radio broadcasts, among a plurality of broadcasters. The supplemental digital data may provide information about the particular broadcast data being transmitted (i.e. cut data) or may be supplemental to such data (i.e. news, weather and traffic data). The supplemental digital data to be presented is sorted based on particular algorithms which may take into account broadcaster-specified criteria such as target audience, time of day, type of broadcast data presented, and the like. The supplemental digital data may be audio data, visual data, or audio-visual data for presentation with the broadcast data. The supplemental digital data may further be advertisement data. The advertisement data may be sold by the broadcasters or the party coordinating the IBOC transmission of the supplemental digital data.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2017Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: DTS, Inc.Inventors: David Corts, Bryce Wells, Paul Signorelli, Lee Hunter, Terrance Snyder

Patent number: 10735178Abstract: A method and system for the transmission of digital data (210) over existing analog radio frequencies (230) is presented, wherein the digital data may include audio data, visual data or audio-visual data for presentation either with analog broadcast data or at a selectable time. The digital data may be transmitted over a plurality of sub-channels that have varying degrees or reliability (250). A “quality-of-service” process manages the transmission of digital data over various sub-channels based on the reliability of the sub-channel, the amount of digital data and the type of digital data to be transmitted. The digital data may further be encrypted and authenticated.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2015Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: DTS, Inc.Inventors: David Corts, Bryce Wells, Paul Signorelli, Lee Hunter, Terrance Snyder

Publication number: 20140249885Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing a custom search based on search input entered by a user, shopping history of the user, retailer identifications, and products to be promoted by the retailers. The system may leverage a combination of retailer and user information to customize search results for the user. The system facilitates a search platform where retailers may provide items being promoted such that promoted items may feature prominently in search results and/or be included in search results while non-promoted items may be featured less prominently n search results and/or be excluded from the search results. In this manner, the retailer may more successfully drive sales of promoted items. Users may benefit from use of the search platform by receiving relevant results that are customized for the user and include items that are being promoted so that the user is made aware of relevant promotions.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2013Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: Catalina Marketing CorporationInventors: Steven J.
