Patents by Inventor Yuri Shovkoplias

Yuri Shovkoplias has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10667015
    Abstract: A method of operating a video services receiver is provided. The video services receiver can record program content and present recorded program content to a user. The method provides first program content to a presentation device, and obtains a request for program content recorded from the particular programming service (channel) that is providing the first program content. In response to the request, the method searches for recorded program content associated with the particular programming service, and then controls a display of search results obtained from the searching. The display is rendered as an interactive channel-specific listing of recorded content.

  • Patent number: 10089899
    Abstract: A sign language message may be derived from user movements detected proximate to an electronic device by comparing the movements to a database that includes data regarding one or more sign languages. A control function may then be identified which the electronic device may be caused to perform. Output related to the user's detected movements may be provided to the user. In some implementations, output specifying identified control functions may be transmitted to a presentation device. Further, in some implementations, if a sign language message and/or a control function cannot be unambiguously derived and/or identified, output promoting the user to provide additional information may be transmitted to a presentation device. Detected movements may be compared to data regarding multiple different sign languages and/or a subset of available multiple different sign languages.
