US Patent:
7974962, Jul 5, 2011
Filed:
Jan 6, 2005
Appl. No.:
10/905489
Inventors:
Haig H. Krakirian - Burbank CA, US

US Classification:
707706, 725 39, 725 56, 725 57, 725 60, 725 61
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a search engine for a video recorder. One embodiment of the present invention operates in an environment that includes one or more set-top boxes connected to or integrated within one or more output devices. The set-top boxes are used to transfer shows from a broadcast input source to one or more types of storage devices and to play back the shows from the storage devices to the output devices, either in a delayed-live fashion or at a later time of the user's choosing. The set-top box displays a graphical user interface (GUI), which gives the user the ability to watch and/or record timeslot based programming, to order on-demand programming, and to playback previously recorded shows that reside on a local or remote storage device. A search engine is added to the GUI that lets the search for shows and receive results in an enhanced manner.

US Patent:
8176516, May 8, 2012
Filed:
Nov 25, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/626267
Inventors:
Haig H. Krakirian - Burbank CA, US

725 45, 725 46, 725 47, 725 58, 386292, 386296, 386297
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a video recorder having user extended and automatically extended time slots. An embodiment of the present invention includes a set-top box having an internal storage device, such as a hard drive where broadcasts are transferred from a broadcast input source to the storage device. The set-top box is connected to an output device such as a television, which displays a graphical user interface (GUI) and an interactive program guide (IPG). The user has the option to extend a chosen time slot, in which a show is scheduled to be transferred to the storage device. A dialog box is used when certain types of shows are selected that commonly require timeslot extensions at the end of the show.

Method And Apparatus For Controlling And Receiving Data From Connected Devices

US Patent:
20030227485, Dec 11, 2003
Filed:
Oct 4, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/065338
Inventors:
Haig Krakirian - Burbank CA, US
Daniel Ward - Los Angeles CA, US
Glen Roe - Simi Valley CA, US
Geoffrey Ombao - Los Angeles CA, US
International Classification:
G09G005/00
US Classification:
345/771000
Abstract:
In accordance with the present invention, one or more devices are connected to a set-top box that is coupled to a television screen or other output device. A GUI is provided which allows a user to easily control the connected device by sending them control signals. The control signals cause the connected device to enter a new state. For instance if the connected device is a light and the light is off, the new state is on. In one embodiment the user accesses the GUI and defines events and rules associated with one of the connected devices. The set-top box in conjunction with the connected device then determines if the defined event has occurred. If it has, the rules are applied to the device and the device performs some action. In another embodiment, a portion of the device's action sends data to the GUI and provides some form of output to the user.
