20090304365 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR USE WITH A DATA ACCESS DEVICE AND AN OPTICAL DISC IN AN ELECTRONIC ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM - Methods and apparatuses are provided, which may be implemented using an optical disc and a data access device such as, e.g., an optical disc player device. The optical disc may include content information, such as, video data, audio data, and advertisement data. The advertisement data may be associated with at least one product and/or service that is not adapted for use by the optical disc player device. The optical disc may include instructional information to adapt the optical disc player device to access user input data identifying user contact information and at least one advertisement selection, and to initiate transmission of an information request associated with at least one product and/or service associated with advertisement selection and/or advertisement data. The information request may include user contact information and may be adapted for use by at least one information delivery system which may initiate subsequent user contact without using the optical disc player device. | 12-10-2009 |
20090307723 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR MANAGING ASSETS STORED IN LOCAL MEMORY OF AN OPTICAL DISC PLAYER DEVICE - Methods and apparatuses are provided, which may be implemented for use in managing data assets stored in local memory of the optical disc player device. | 12-10-2009 |
20120082426 | Systems and Methods for Incentivizing Content Engagement - Systems and associated methods for incentivizing content engagement are described. Embodiments provide a recommended feature application to offer premier/recommended content. This can take place at a variety of times, for example during the primary content selection interface display, as well as offering said content interactively as an overlay during the conclusion of a piece of content. Embodiments employ a weighted process for selecting a recommended feature based on one or more stored preference files. The recommended feature application can be utilized across titles. | 04-05-2012 |
20120082439 | Systems and Methods for Dynamic Content Play List Creation - Systems and associated methods for dynamic content play list creation are described. A fastplay application provides for dynamic play list generation, using feature categorization and local storage to present a set of custom play list(s) that are tailored to a user's preference(s). The settings may be stored locally on the media player storage device such that the preference(s) can be utilized across titles. | 04-05-2012 |
20140232615 | DYNAMIC TRANSFORMATION OF DISPLAY MEDIA BASED UPON A PROXIMITY-BASED COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL - A process detects, at a first proximity-based device within a first object, presence of a second proximity-based device within a second object. The presence is within a proximity. Further, the process modifies a first display associated with the first object based upon a second display associated with the second object. | 08-21-2014 |
20140232616 | PROXIMITY-BASED MULTI-DISPLAY CONFIGURATION - A process is utilized to provide a multi-display configuration. The process detects, at a first proximity-based device within a first display device, a presence of a second proximity-based device within a second display device. The presence is within a proximity. Further, the process displays a first portion of a multi-display image at the first display device based upon a location of the first display device relative to the second display device. | 08-21-2014 |
20140233910 | CONTENT PLAYER WITH TRANSFERENCE READER - A first proximity-based device at a content player receives content modification data from a second proximity-based device within a product and/or a product package when the product or product package is placed within a proximity to the first proximity-based device. A processor at the content player performs modified playback of media content based on the content modification data. | 08-21-2014 |
20140236726 | TRANSFERENCE OF DATA ASSOCIATED WITH A PRODUCT AND/OR PRODUCT PACKAGE - A proximity-based device within a product and/or a product package sends data associated with the product and/or the product package to a mobile device based upon the mobile device being within a proximity to the proximity-based device. Another proximity-based receiver within a mobile device receives data associated with a product and/or a product package from a proximity-based transmitter within the product and/or the product package based upon the proximity-based receiver being within a proximity to the proximity-based transmitter. | 08-21-2014 |
20140236769 | PROXIMITY DEVICE FOR CONTENT CONFIGURATION - An update proximity-based device configures a product and/or product package proximity-based device. The product and/or product package proximity-based device is located within a product and/or a product package such that an update is performed upon the product and/or the product package after the update proximity-based device is placed within a proximity to the product and/or product package proximity-based device. | 08-21-2014 |
20140236770 | PROXIMITY DEVICE FOR BUNDLING OF PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES - A process stores, at a data storage device within a product and/or a product package, data associated with a bundle of products and/or services. Further, the process sends, from a proximity-based device within the product and/or the product package, the data to a mobile device when the mobile device is within a proximity to the proximity-based device. | 08-21-2014 |
20140236837 | PROXIMITY SENSOR FOR CLOUD-BASED ENTITLEMENT - A server receives a first key from a mobile device. The mobile device comprises a mobile device proximity-based device that receives the first key from a product and/or product package proximity-based device associated with a product and/or a product package when the mobile device is within a proximity to the product and/or product package proximity-based device. Further, the server receives a second key from the mobile device. In addition, the server receives a third key from a checkout device after purchase of the product and/or the product package. The server also provides cloud-based entitlement to media content associated with the product and/or the product package to a user identifier. | 08-21-2014 |
