20140331135 | DIGITAL CONTENT CONNECTIVITY AND CONTROL VIA A PLURALITY OF CONTROLLERS THAT ARE TREATED AS A SINGLE CONTROLLER - Managing the separation and distribution of digital content and associated controls in a network system includes receiving a request from any of a set of control devices within the same active session, to which a host server provides a response that is suitable for all control devices. The control devices handle such responses in the context of user experience-optimized application types that facilitate separating and distributing associated application type control, digital content, and/or status information during an active session from the host server to the control devices and to output devices that are connected together through the network, such as a home network. | 11-06-2014 |
20140330951 | DIGITAL CONTENT CONNECTIVITY AND CONTROL VIA A PLURALITY OF CONTROLLERS THAT ARE TREATED DISCRIMINATIVELY - Methods, a system, and a computer readable medium for managing the separation and distribution of digital content and associated controls wherein the digital content in a network system includes receiving a request from any one of control devices, host server response to control device request (and output devices), host server may either non-discriminatively or discriminatively broadcast to any of the control devices, and control device handling responses throughout home network system. The methods, system, and computer readable medium include user experience optimized application types for (optimally) separating and distributing the associated control, digital content, and associated status information elements during active streaming sessions from the host server to the control devices and output devices within a home network system. | 11-06-2014 |
20140195587 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING DIGITAL CONTENT - A method for managing and distributing media content in a network system includes receiving a request from a control device to deliver at least one item of digital content through the network system from the host server. The method also includes providing the control device with status information associated with the digital content and a plurality of outputs of the host server connected to the network system in response to receiving the request. The method includes receiving a command from the control device to serve the at least one item of digital content or the status information associated with the digital content or the status information for the plurality of outputs of the host server via a selected output. Further, the method includes serving the at least one item of digital content or the status information via the selected output in response to receiving the command from the control device. | 07-10-2014 |
