System For Improved Interactive Television Processing

View page
US Patent:
7752083, Jul 6, 2010
Filed:
Nov 30, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/948818
Inventors:
Gerard C. Johnson - Wesley Chapel FL, US
Sean Bunner - St. Petersburg FL, US
John McDevitt - Clearwater FL, US
Assignee:
HSN LP - St. Petersburg FL
International Classification:
G06Q 30/00
US Classification:
705 26
Abstract:
A method and system for providing a transactional environment including a server and one or more set-top boxes in communication with the server. The server stores product information data, which is updated in the server as soon as the product information data changes. The set-top boxes receive the product information data as well as navigable displays in a single transmission, which guide a user through a product ordering process on his or her television. The user may navigate and complete the ordering process in a real-time basis using a television remote control. The product information, e. g. , available inventory, is updated as soon as the product information changes, and the set-top boxes replaces outdated navigable page data on a real-time basis.

US Patent:
7756758, Jul 13, 2010
Filed:
Dec 8, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/330385
Inventors:
Gerard C. Johnson - Wesley Chapel FL, US
Sean Bunner - St. Petersburg FL, US
John McDevitt - Clearwater FL, US
Assignee:
HSN LP - St. Petersburg FL
International Classification:
G06Q 30/00
US Classification:
705 26
Abstract:
An e-commerce system and method combining different product presentation formats, where each format has a video presentation component. One such format is the presentation of a live, pre-existing “shop at home” video production feed, consisting of continuously scheduled segments, each segment presenting a product or set of products. A Video on Demand (VOD) format, where users may request different video streams. The VOD streams being similar to the live feed, but stored on a server and organized in one or more different segment orders, as compared to the original order of the live feed. Third, a traditional e-commerce product catalog may be provided. However, as an enhancement, the product catalog may be connected to the VOD server, and stream the presentation segment associated with each product, when a user is viewing the product detail page for that product.

US Patent:
20100138875, Jun 3, 2010
Filed:
Jun 1, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/476145
Inventors:
Gerard C. Johnson - Wesley Chapel FL, US
Sean Bunner - St. Petersburg FL, US
John McDevitt - Clearwater FL, US
International Classification:
H04N 5/445
G06Q 30/00
H04N 7/173
US Classification:
725 60, 705 27, 725132, 725117
Abstract:
A method and system for providing an electronic shopping environment including a server and one or more set-top boxes in communication with the server. In an exemplary embodiment, the server stores product information relating to a plurality of products classified in a first category and to a plurality of products classified in a second category. As soon the server receives transaction data relating to an electronic transaction, the server updates the product information to reflect the transaction data changes. If the updated data relates to one of the plurality of products classified in the first category, the server transmits product display information towards one or more set-top boxes in real-time. Alternatively, if the updated data relates to one of the plurality of products classified in the second category, the server transmits product display information towards one or more set-top boxes on a scheduled periodic basis.

US Patent:
20110310011, Dec 22, 2011
Filed:
Jun 21, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/165364
Inventors:
John McDevitt - Clearwater FL, US
Sean Bunner - St. Petersburg FL, US
Assignee:
HSNi, LLC - St. Petersburg FL
International Classification:
G06F 3/033
US Classification:
345157
Abstract:
A system and method that integrates an electronic pointer into digital image data, such as a video feed or software application, that is displayed on a screen. A receiver is provided that receives position data from a pointing device; a calibration unit then calculates the position of the pointing device relative to the screen based on the position data; and a processor then generates the electronic pointer based on the calculated position of the pointing device. Thereafter, the electronic pointer is integrated in the digital image data such that the video screen displays the electronic pointer at a location of the video screen that reflects the relative position of the pointing device to the video screen.

US Patent:
20120183229, Jul 19, 2012
Filed:
Jan 18, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/352986
Inventors:
John McDevitt - Clearwater FL, US
Assignee:
HSNi, LLC - St. Petersburg FL
International Classification:
G06K 9/68
G06F 17/00
US Classification:
382218, 700 94
Abstract:
The system and method disclosed herein relate to the establishment of both the location and identity of individual items in pictures or videos. Once the one or more items in the picture/video are identified and matched to images in a reference database, the locations of the items is established and additional information relating to the items is accessed. Collectively, the position data and additional data is merged in the electronic pictures or videos and then provided to a user as a merged data stream. Additional functionality related to those identified items can occur when those identified locations are “pointed to”, “clicked” or otherwise selected (e.g., purchase an item, request information, select another video stream, play a game, share the item, rate, “Like”, and the like).

US Patent:
20130061269, Mar 7, 2013
Filed:
Oct 25, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/660693
Inventors:
Sean Bunner - St. Petersburg FL, US
John McDevitt - Clearwater FL, US
Assignee:
HSNi, LLC - St. Petersburg FL
International Classification:
H04N 21/458
US Classification:
725 60
Abstract:
A system and method for an electronic transactional environment including a database, a server and a processor and a number of set-top boxes in communication with the server. The database stores user registration data and product information data relating to a plurality of products and the server broadcasts the product information data to the set top boxes. The server is further provided to transmit to the set top boxes updated product information data that replaces at least part of the previously transmitted product information data. Furthermore, the processor compares data relating to a transaction request from a user of one of the set top boxes with user registration data in order to identify the specific user. Based on the identified user, the processor generates customized transaction data for the specific user and the server transmits the customized transaction data and additional updated product information data to the set top box corresponding to the identified user.
