20160057483 | SELECTIVELY BLOCKING THE RECORDING OF CONTENTS AVAILABLE ALSO ON DEMAND - A device receives a request for a digital video recorder (DVR) to record digital contents. The device identifies the digital contents using metadata included in the request, such as a channel and a time associated with the digital contents, to access additional metadata from an electronic program guide (EPG), such as an identifier. The device uses the additional metadata from the EPG to determine whether the digital contents are available via video on demand (VOD). For example, the device may compare the identifier and/or other metadata for the digital contents to metadata associated with VOD content, such as a VOD catalog. The device may selectively prevent the DVR from recording the digital contents if the digital contents are available via VOD. | 02-25-2016 |
20160071403 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR BROADCASTING AN ALARM FOR AN ALARM GROUP - An approach for broadcasting an alarm to a plurality of devices associated with an alarm group. The alarm is associated with a plurality of devices in an alarm group. The approach includes receiving a request. The request designates a plurality of devices as the alarm group. The approach includes determining an implementation of the alarm for the alarm group based on the request. The approach also includes broadcasting the alarm to the plurality of devices in the alarm group based on the implementation. | 03-10-2016 |
20160088359 | MOBILE NOTIFICATION OF TELEVISION PROGRAMS - A set-top box (STB) causes a display device to present a notification during a time period. The notification identifies digital contents, such as television show, available for access via the STB. If no response to notification is received during the time period or the display device or STB is inactive, a notification message is sent to an associated user device. The notification message may be generated based on metadata extracted from electronic programming guide (EPG) data, and the notification message may include an indication that the digital contents are available for access via the STB. The notification message may also identify an available action related to the digital contents. For example, the action may relate to recording the digital contents or requesting another notification or notification message related to another broadcast of the digital contents. Response data requesting execution of the action may be received from the user device. | 03-24-2016 |

20160026736 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFYING AND RECOMMENDING EXCHANGING OF DIGITAL ASSETS - An approach for implementing an asset exchange platform for identifying assets associated with a user and providing recommendations to exchange the assets. The approach includes identifying one or more digital assets associated with a user. The approach also includes processing metadata associated with the one or more digital assets using an exchange rule to determine one or more other digital assets, a parameter for initiating an exchange of the one or more digital assets for the one or more other digital assets, or a combination thereof. Further, the approach includes presenting the one or more other digital assets, the parameter, or a combination thereof to the user as an exchange recommendation. | 01-28-2016 |
20160044272 | SEARCHING FOR BROADCAST CHANNELS BASED ON CHANNEL NAMES - A device may receive a numeric code representing an alphanumeric character; and determine one or more programming channel names including the alphanumeric character represented by the numeric code. Each of the one or more channel names may be associated with a television broadcast network. The device may the one or more programming channel names; receive a selection of a particular programming channel, of the one or more programming channels; and present content associated with the selected programming channel. | 02-11-2016 |
20160066031 | DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER (DVR) IMPLEMENTED USING SUPPLEMENTAL DEVICE STORAGE - Techniques described herein may use a computing device, such as a smartphone or tablet computer, that is attached to a local area network, as a storage device or supplemental storage device for a set-top box (STB) that is also attached to the local area network. In one implementation, the STB may stream, to the computing device, video content corresponding to a television program that is being viewed by a user of the STB. In response to a command such as a rewind or unpause operation, the STB may request the video content from the computing device; receiving the requested video content from the computing device; and satisfying the unpause or rewind operation, based on the received video content. | 03-03-2016 |

20130308618 | DRIVING HYBRID LOCATION SERVICES FROM WLAN STATIONS USING ACCESS POINTS - A wireless local area network (WLAN) positioning system is disclosed that allows the WLAN system to determine the location attributes of a client device operating in a power save mode, operating on a different channel than the WLAN's access points, and/or operating in an ad-hoc mode. The client device periodically performs scanning operations during which beacon frames broadcast by a selected AP(s) can be received. The client device parses information embedded in the beacon frames, and in response thereto selectively initiates ranging operations to determine its location attributes. After determining its location attributes, the client devices sends the location attributes back to the selected AP(s). | 11-21-2013 |
20130329618 | DYNAMIC POWER MODE SWITCH IN A WIRELESS AD-HOC SYSTEM - In ad-hoc wireless networks, functionality can be implemented to dynamically enable/disable an ad-hoc power save mode depending on whether or not the WLAN device is in a continuous traffic environment. The WLAN devices in the ad-hoc wireless network can use beacon frames to transmit a power mode switch request, to respond to a received power mode switch request (to indicate acceptance or rejection of the received power mode switch request), and to indicate a power mode switch status. The WLAN devices switch the power mode if all the WLAN devices in the ad-hoc wireless network accept the power mode switch request. Changing the power mode depending on the environment can improve power savings, data throughput, and reliability. | 12-12-2013 |
