Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100115557PRESENTING MEDIA GUIDANCE SEARCH RESULTS BASED ON RELEVANCY - Systems and methods for presenting search results based on relevancy in an interactive media guidance application are disclosed. After performing a user-initiated or automatic search for media content, the interactive media guidance application determines which of the hits are most relevant to the user. The guidance application then displays, or visually identifies, the relevant items. Some embodiments employ using different display arrangements based on the number of relevant items. Some embodiments display the relevant items in recommendation lists or hot lists.05-06-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080197983Conditional RFID - A RFID tag includes logic to compare information in a received signal with conditional response criteria, and to respond to the received signal with an RFID only if the information satisfies the conditional response criteria.08-21-2008
20080207261Panoramic scene capture using a mobile wireless device - A device accessible via a wireless service network includes logic to receive digital frames from a wireless communication device, to identify digital frames that are suitable tiles for a digital panorama, to create a digital panorama from the identified frames, and to associate the panorama with one or more locations on a digital map.08-28-2008
20080268920Turbulence sensitive mobile device power control - A mobile communication device may include one or more sensors to detect shaking and/or swinging of the device when the device is in a low-power or power-down mode. The device may include logic to determine if shaking and/or swinging occurred within an interval of time after the device was used, and logic to remove the device from low power or power down mode (and thus initiate a power-up mode) if shaking and/or swinging occurred within the interval of time after the device was used.10-30-2008
20080268929Game representing real sporting event with play call feature - An online gaming system provides a virtual field representing a field of play for a live or simulated game, the virtual field including areas that may be operated in order to select a play prediction.10-30-2008
20080270532Techniques for generating and applying playlists - A server system applies content and usage data from a user's client-side music and/or video library to determine recommended content to include in a playlist for the user.10-30-2008
