Entertainment/Information System Having Disparate Interactive Devices

View page
US Patent:
6343315, Jan 29, 2002
Filed:
May 12, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/310456
Inventors:
Leon P. Stoel - Sioux Falls SD
David M. Bankers - Sioux Falls SD
Christopher Alan Cinco - Sioux Falls SD
Assignee:
LodgeNet Entertainment Corporation - Sioux Falls SD
International Classification:
G06F 300
US Classification:
709204, 709236, 710 64, 710 67, 713 24, 463 40
Abstract:
An information/entertainment system having a number of interactive input and output devices is provided. Each interactive input device is electrically connected to a selected output device using a host that communicates with a router apparatus. The router apparatus includes a plurality of emulation assemblies. Each emulation assembly is configured to communicate input information to a particular interactive output device. Input information from a particular interactive input device is received and properly handled by a pre-configured emulation assembly which is electrically connected to the interactive output device associated with that particular interactive input device. This emulation assembly formats the information/data that it receives so that it is acceptable to the interactive output device to which it is connected. The host obtains input information using a slot/subslot arrangement associated with interactive interrogations or polling. The slots/subslots enable the system to obtain inputs at different transmission rates from different interactive input devices.

Connection Interface For Personal Electronic Devices With A Television

View page
US Patent:
8370879, Feb 5, 2013
Filed:
Feb 22, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/709581
Inventors:
Derin M. Zerr - Sioux Falls SD, US
Jacob M. Buckstead - Sioux Falls SD, US
Leon P. Stoel - Sioux Falls SD, US
David M. Bankers - Sioux Falls SD, US
Assignee:
Lodgenet Interactive Corporation - Sioux Falls SD
International Classification:
H04N 7/18
US Classification:
725 80, 725 78, 725 83
Abstract:
A connection interface allows individuals (such as guests at a lodging facility) to use portable personal electronic devices (such as laptop computers, digital audio players, and digital audio/video players) in conjunction with a television. The connection interface device includes inputs to receive signals from various portable devices, and includes selection keys by which a guest can select a particular type of input to the television. The connection interface senses presence of video and audio signals on its inputs, and the state of the selection keys, and provides data over an in-room network with a television interface terminal. The connection interface device also routes the signals received at its inputs to corresponding inputs of the television. The television interface terminal responds to inputs from a remote control, keyboard or game controller and provides commands to the television to tune to selected channels for free-to-guest programming pay-per-view movies, video games, Internet, and other interactive services. Based on data from the connection interface, the television interface terminal can command the television to receive and play selected inputs from the connection interface.

Multiple Dwelling Unit Interactive Audio/Video Distribution System

View page
US Patent:
59059427, May 18, 1999
Filed:
Feb 18, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/801476
Inventors:
Leon P. Stoel - Sioux Falls SD
Vernon E. Hills - Sunnyvale CA
David M. Bankers - Sioux Falls SD
Douglas D. Truckenmiller - Sioux Falls SD
Assignee:
LodgeNet Entertainment Corporation - Sioux Falls SD
International Classification:
H04N7/10
US Classification:
455 42
Abstract:
An audio/video distribution system for a multiple dwelling unit such as an apartment building provides programming which is selectable by a subscriber through the interactive use of on-screen menus. Programming and services are supplied from a headend over a distribution network to individual apartments. The distribution network includes an interdiction field unit associated with each of a group of apartments. The interdiction field unit normally interdicts those channels capable of carrying video on demand movies, interactive video games, and interactive services. When a subscriber wishes to order a movie, video game, or other service through interactive on-screen menus provided from the headend to the apartment, the headend instructs the interdiction field unit associated with the subscriber's apartment to de-interdict a channel. Selections made through a remote control to a subscriber terminal in the apartment are supplied to the headend over the distribution system. The channel remains deinterdicted during the playing of a movie, video game, or interactive service selected by the subscriber, based upon the signals received from the subscriber terminal during the interactive on-screen menu session.
