Software Technology for Methods and systems that can be used to modify content items to protect endpoint media device data

DISH Network L.L.C. (Englewood, CO)

Methods of systems, machines, and machine-readable media for adapting content-based composites to the operations of an endpoint media device are described. Blockchain information associated with a blockchain address could be processed by one or more processing devices. A number of processing devices can connect the blockchain data and/or address to a single media device. Based at the very least on the blockchain data, the first content composite could be recognized by one or more processing devices in order to delivery by a content provider system via several networks to the first endpoint media device. The first component in the content may be sent if, following the delivery of the initial composite to the endpoint media devices, either the first or second media devices execute at least one operation in connection with the first composite.

The development of wireless networks as well as distribution platforms may pose a variety of challenges and challenges for content delivery within packet streams per Internet Protocol (IP), the ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) 3.0standard, or a like protocol. These modes of delivery are not linear, as opposed to traditional TV delivery such as. However, there is a need for more integration with devices at the endpoint in broadcast environments. Contentviewers need enhanced viewer experiences as well as specific service offerings. These problems are the reason why methods and systems are required. These and other requirements are addressed in the present disclosure.

What is a patent?

How to Search for Patents

• Add keywords to your search. Keyword searches may turn up documents that are not well-categorized or have missed classifications during Step 2. For example, US patent examiners often supplement their classification searches with keyword searches. Think about the use of technical engineering terminology rather than everyday words.
• Search for foreign patents using the CPC classification. Then, re-run the search using international patent office search engines such as Espacenet, the European Patent Office’s worldwide patent publication database of over 130 million patent publications. Other national databases include:
• European Patent Office (EPO) provides esp@cenet to access a network of Europe’s patent databases with access to machine translation of European patents. 
• Japan Patent Office (JPO) – with access to machine translations of Japanese patents.
• World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) offers PATENTSCOPE with a full-text search of published international patent applications and machine translations for some documents, as well as a list of international patent databases.
• Korean Intellectual Property Rights Information Service (KIPRIS)
• State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) with machine translation of Chinese patents.
• Other International Intellectual Property Offices with online patent databases include Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Israel, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and Taiwan.
• Search non-patent literature. Inventions can be made public in many non-patent publications. It is recommended that you search journals, books, websites, technical catalogs, conference proceedings, and other print and electronic publications.

To review your search, you can hire a registered patent attorney to assist. A preliminary search will help one better prepare to talk about their invention and other related inventions with a professional patent attorney. In addition, the attorney will not spend too much time or money on patenting basics.
