Patent Application
20180192122
The disclosure relates to the field of computing devices, and more particularly to the field of media computing devices.
Many different manufacturers offer over-the-top (“OTT”) services for delivering streaming media to home entertainment systems over the Internet (for example, APPLE TV™, ROKU™, NETFLIX™, GOOGLE CHROMECAST™, and so forth). In many cases, proprietary hardware is needed, and each service requires a separate connection to today's smart televisions. Moreover, many hardware and software vendors are actively developing their own branded media content, and these vendors often try to limit playback of their own content to their own or their partners' systems. The emergence of “walled gardens” and the multiplication of proprietary hardware devices and interface protocols has tended to “balkanize” home entertainment systems, and to make their use frustratingly complex for consumers. Moreover, many consumers use wireless extensively today, for example by using sophisticated wireless speaker systems; it is crucial and increasingly difficult to deliver high-quality, tightly synchronized audio and video in these conditions, while minimizing latency—this is usually difficult to accomplish in wireless environments in any case, but becomes much more so when multiple vendors using various protocols and technologies all try to make use of the same wireless infrastructure in home environments.
What is needed, then, is a smart wireless media hub that overcomes these and other obstacles in the home entertainment art.
Accordingly, the inventor has conceived and reduced to practice, in preferred embodiments of the invention, a system and method for providing an enhanced home media experience using a wireless media hub. The following non-limiting summary of the invention is provided for clarity, and should be construed consistently with embodiments described in the detailed description below.
To address the problems noted above, the inventor conceived of a wireless media hub (“WMH”) that may operate in a variety of physical form factors. The WMH may be a standalone electronic device that allows third-party OTT devices and video dongles to be connected directly, and that connects to various media rendering devices wirelessly. It may also be a “WMH-on-a-stick”; that is, it may be physically configured as an HDMI (or other interface) stick (with a male HDMI or other interface adapter on one end), with one or more input ports for receiving third-party OTT devices and video dongles, while again communicating with various playback devices via wireless (and delivering high-definition video to a display device via the HDMI or other interface). In another embodiment, the WMH may be built into a smart television or other advanced media playback device, and receive connections from third-party OTT devices directly (via HDMI or other physical interfaces) or wirelessly.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a system for providing an enhanced home media experience using a wireless media hub, comprising: a wireless media hub comprising: a plurality of hardware connectivity ports each configured to receive media content from a connected device; a plurality of wireless network interfaces; a software operating system; a virtual screen manager configured to transmit at least a virtual screen via at least a wireless network interface; a protocol manager configured to identify a device connected via at least one of the plurality of hardware connectivity ports, and configured to direct the operation of at least a media processing operation based on identified device characteristics; and a plurality of infrared communication ports, is disclosed.
According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, a method for providing an enhanced home media experience, comprising the steps of: connecting, via a plurality of hardware connectivity ports each configured to receive media content from a connected device, to a third-party media device; identifying, using a protocol manager configured to identify a device connected via at least one of the plurality of hardware connectivity ports, and configured to direct the operation of at least a media processing operation based on identified device characteristics, device characteristics of the third-party media device; transmitting, using a virtual screen manager configured to transmit at least a virtual screen via at least a wireless network interface, a virtual screen comprising at least a selection indicia representing the third-party media device; receiving user interaction via the virtual screen; directing, using a plurality of infrared communication ports, the operation of the third-party media device based at least in part on the user interaction; receiving media from the third-party media device; processing at least a portion of the media based at least in part on the identified device characteristics; and transmitting at least a portion of the media for rendering at a destination device, is disclosed.
The accompanying drawings illustrate several embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention according to the embodiments. It will be appreciated by one skilled in the art that the particular embodiments illustrated in the drawings are merely exemplary, and are not to be considered as limiting of the scope of the invention or the claims herein in any way.
The inventor has conceived, and reduced to practice, in preferred embodiments of the invention, a system and method for providing an enhanced home media experience using a wireless media hub.
One or more different inventions may be described in the present application. Further, for one or more of the inventions described herein, numerous alternative embodiments may be described; it should be appreciated that these are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not limiting of the inventions contained herein or the claims presented herein in any way. One or more of the inventions may be widely applicable to numerous embodiments, as may be readily apparent from the disclosure. In general, embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice one or more of the inventions, and it should be appreciated that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural, logical, software, electrical and other changes may be made without departing from the scope of the particular inventions. Accordingly, one skilled in the art will recognize that one or more of the inventions may be practiced with various modifications and alterations. Particular features of one or more of the inventions described herein may be described with reference to one or more particular embodiments or figures that form a part of the present disclosure, and in which are shown, by way of illustration, specific embodiments of one or more of the inventions. It should be appreciated, however, that such features are not limited to usage in the one or more particular embodiments or figures with reference to which they are described. The present disclosure is neither a literal description of all embodiments of one or more of the inventions nor a listing of features of one or more of the inventions that must be present in all embodiments.
Headings of sections provided in this patent application and the title of this patent application are for convenience only, and are not to be taken as limiting the disclosure in any way.
Devices that are in communication with each other need not be in continuous communication with each other, unless expressly specified otherwise. In addition, devices that are in communication with each other may communicate directly or indirectly through one or more communication means or intermediaries, logical or physical.
A description of an embodiment with several components in communication with each other does not imply that all such components are required. To the contrary, a variety of optional components may be described to illustrate a wide variety of possible embodiments of one or more of the inventions and in order to more fully illustrate one or more aspects of the inventions. Similarly, although process steps, method steps, algorithms or the like may be described in a sequential order, such processes, methods and algorithms may generally be configured to work in alternate orders, unless specifically stated to the contrary. In other words, any sequence or order of steps that may be described in this patent application does not, in and of itself, indicate a requirement that the steps be performed in that order. The steps of described processes may be performed in any order practical. Further, some steps may be performed simultaneously despite being described or implied as occurring non-simultaneously (e.g., because one step is described after the other step). Moreover, the illustration of a process by its depiction in a drawing does not imply that the illustrated process is exclusive of other variations and modifications thereto, does not imply that the illustrated process or any of its steps are necessary to one or more of the invention(s), and does not imply that the illustrated process is preferred. Also, steps are generally described once per embodiment, but this does not mean they must occur once, or that they may only occur once each time a process, method, or algorithm is carried out or executed. Some steps may be omitted in some embodiments or some occurrences, or some steps may be executed more than once in a given embodiment or occurrence.
When a single device or article is described herein, it will be readily apparent that more than one device or article may be used in place of a single device or article. Similarly, where more than one device or article is described herein, it will be readily apparent that a single device or article may be used in place of the more than one device or article.
The functionality or the features of a device may be alternatively embodied by one or more other devices that are not explicitly described as having such functionality or features. Thus, other embodiments of one or more of the inventions need not include the device itself.
Techniques and mechanisms described or referenced herein will sometimes be described in singular form for clarity. However, it should be appreciated that particular embodiments may include multiple iterations of a technique or multiple instantiations of a mechanism unless noted otherwise. Process descriptions or blocks in figures should be understood as representing modules, segments, or portions of code which include one or more executable instructions for implementing specific logical functions or steps in the process. Alternate implementations are included within the scope of embodiments of the present invention in which, for example, functions may be executed out of order from that shown or discussed, including substantially concurrently or in reverse order, depending on the functionality involved, as would be understood by those having ordinary skill in the art.
Examples of how the invention may be used are many. For example, a user may select a movie from a cloud-based service such as NETFLIX™ or AMAZON PRIME™ and direct the video via an HDMI output or a wireless video dongle to a television, while sending the audio wirelessly to a set of speakers to provide a rich audio experience. The user may select how audio is distributed, may select what is to be viewed, and may control viewing settings, all from within a standard OS user interface (including possibly an application retrieved from an app store). In another example, several users may each interact with a game operating on the device. Each user (player) may see the same game screen on their mobile device, or each may see a separate screen. Each player has full interactive functionality within the game on his mobile device. The same, or indeed a different, screen may be shown on the HDMI output device to which the media computing device is connected. For example, a shared screen may be seen on a television, while each player has a private screen for controlling what their character does, with the actions taken by each player on his mobile device simultaneously affecting what is seen on the television.
The delivery of virtual screens to mobile devices from the media computing device may be done by intercepting screen graphics bitmaps (which would normally be sent to a hardware display device for rendering), and transcoding the graphics data into H.264 (for example). The H.264 stream can then be sent in packetized form over a wireless network to each of the mobile devices. Similarly, user interaction events received on the mobile devices (for example, touchscreen interactions) are sent in packetized form over the wireless network to the media computing device, where they are provided to and interpreted by the operating system as if they were user interaction events arriving from an attached touchscreen. In some use modes, each user sees the same OS screen on his mobile device. In one of these modes, each user can simultaneously interact with the OS via his mobile device and the OS uses an interrupt management system (common in operating systems) to ensure that each user's interactions are handled in a timely manner. In another use mode involving a shared virtual screen, only one user at a time has control of the user interface; users could take turns controlling, or users could “seize control” with or without the concurrence of other users (quasi-competitive control of the shared user interface could be part of a game concept). In another use mode, each user is provided with his own virtual screen. For example, many operating systems provide for multiple virtual desktops, so that a user may use different applications on different desktops. In the use mode envisioned, each user interacts with the operating system using his own logical/virtual desktop, which is provided wirelessly as before.
In some cases, a “safe mode” of interaction is provided to enable continued use of the media computing device when network congestion or degradation occurs. For example, in safe mode users would receive simple, text-based notifications from the media computing device wirelessly, which are presented within an application on his mobile device. The user is provided with a set of control selections more akin in functional richness to those provided by remote controls known in the art, thus allowing users to interact with the media computing device in a way analogous to how users interact with a ROKU™ device today.
Wireless media hub 200 may further comprise a software operating system 220, such as ANDROID™, IOS™, LINUX™, or WINDOWS™, and depending on the particular configuration or use case does not necessarily have any built-in user interface, but rather uses a virtual screen driver 242 to provide full operating system user interface screens to users of mobile devices. One or more virtual screens may be managed by a UI manager 240 and may be transmitted to and interacted with simultaneously by mobile device users, and each user may receive a virtualized OS instance that is kept separate from other connected users, so each user may interact freely without conflict. A mobile device user may be presented with a typical operating system home screen or desktop environment (depending on the operating system used), and can interact with the screen using the native touchscreen or other hardware capabilities of their mobile device to perform any actions normally available in the operating system (for example, a touchscreen may be used for direct interaction while physical buttons may be used to control volume or play/pause functionality). The home screen, virtual screen, or virtual desktop may be presented within an application on the mobile device, thus providing a “full OS inside an app” modality to the user, with actions taken by the user affecting what appears on a media display device and what is played back on various audio playback devices. Additionally, a virtual screen redirector 241 may be used to optionally present a particular user's OS instance (or other virtual screen) to a display output device, for example if a user wishes to broadcast their screen on a television or monitor for other users to see (as may be useful for instructional purposes such as giving a demonstration to others or asking for feedback).
Wireless media hub 200 may operate a plurality of audio 225 and video 230 processing components, that may be used to receive, process, and transmit various media during use. Audio 226 and video 231 capture components may be used to receive media from connected devices (either via physical 201a-n or wireless 212a-n connectivity means), and provide content to audio 227 and video 232 processors for any necessary modification such as transcoding video or splitting audio streams for individual handling. Media may then be provided to audio 228 and video 233 redirector components (either after processing or in an as-received, unaltered state) for retransmission to output devices, such as to transmit individual audio channels to separate physical speakers or to transmit video to a display device. A protocol manager 215 may be utilized to direct media handling according to a variety of media protocols, such as to direct on-the-fly transcoding of audio or video into different bitrates, resolutions, encoding schema, container formats, or other such protocol-based processing. Using various combinations of physical and wireless connections and audio/video processing capabilities, wireless media hub 200 may receive media from one type of third-party OTT device (such as APPLE TV™) and stream it to another type of third-party OTT device (such as GOOGLE CHROMECAST™) wirelessly, performing necessary protocol conversions internally without disrupting the streaming operation. Moreover, wireless media hub 200 is capable of acting as a conventional infrared remote for a wide variety of devices using IR input 213a and output 213b ports as described above, and of receiving remote control signals from those devices. It is also an aspect of the invention that audio captured from a media streaming source (i.e., a third-party OTT device, a video or audio dongle, or a direct Internet connection to an Internet music service such as PANDORA™) may be processed before being redirected to one or more audio playback devices wirelessly. Such reprocessing may include diverting 2.0 audio channels to one device (such as a personal mobile device only capable of playing 2.0 audio directly), while streaming 3.1 audio to wireless speakers, providing a full 5.1 audio experience (or better, for example 7.1) using a variety of playback devices, some of which may not themselves be equipped to participate in 5.1 or better audio rendering. In some cases, stereo audio may be captured and converted into 5.1 within the wireless media hub before being redirected to one or more audio playback devices.
Utilizing the capabilities described above, wireless media hub 200 can act as a many-to-many hub for media distribution, and can manage media from multiple sources, destined for multiple destinations (including destinations physically remote from wireless media hub 200, for example for streaming media to a remote user's device), performing necessary protocol conversions as needed. Moreover, the wireless media hub can automatically detect the type of a media source when it is connected; for example, if a GOOGLE CHROMECAST™ dongle is attached to the wireless media hub, the wireless media hub will autodetect that it is a CHROMECAST™ device and interact with it accordingly. When presenting virtual screens to users, a user may be able to select input and output devices for media rendering from lists of available connected devices. For example, a user can select a source device such as a streaming media service or a connected media device such as a ROKU™, optionally selecting specific content such as a playlist or channel (for example, a specific channel on a ROKU™ or APPLE TV™ device), and may then select a plurality of output devices such as speakers for audio and a display for video. This may be used to bridge gaps between content providers and devices, enabling a user to play content (including proprietary content) on devices of their choosing. This also enables the use of a user's mobile device as a single, unified remote control device for multiple media devices and services, rather than requiring a user to use (and keep track of) different proprietary remotes for each device they want to connect and use.
According to the embodiment, users may interact with the wireless media hub 301 using their mobile devices, such as a tablet 330 or smartphone 321, communicating with hub 301 wirelessly while it remains connected to the display device 340. Wireless media hub 301 may also communicate wirelessly with a plurality of additional media output devices, such as satellite speakers 350a-b that may be used to render audio transmitted wirelessly from media hub 301 while other content is transmitted to display device 301 via the hardware connection 341. For example, video may be shown on display device 340 while corresponding audio is transmitted to speakers 350a-b for rendering, or unrelated audio may be transmitted to speakers 350a-b such as for passive use wherein a screensaver or photo slideshow (or other content) may be presented on display device 340 while background or ambient music may be played via speakers 350a-b, or various other combinations. Additionally, media may be transmitted to a user's device 330, 321 in addition to or in place of a virtual screen, such as for a user to view video or listen to music on their personal device while other media (or nothing at all) is transmitted to display device 340 and speakers 350a-b. In this manner, individual users may view and listen to their own content without affecting others, and various combinations of individual (on a user's mobile device) and room-based (such as on a television and speakers) media rendering are possible.
Generally, the techniques disclosed herein may be implemented on hardware or a combination of software and hardware. For example, they may be implemented in an operating system kernel, in a separate user process, in a library package bound into network applications, on a specially constructed machine, on an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or on a network interface card.
Software/hardware hybrid implementations of at least some of the embodiments disclosed herein may be implemented on a programmable network-resident machine (which should be understood to include intermittently connected network-aware machines) selectively activated or reconfigured by a computer program stored in memory. Such network devices may have multiple network interfaces that may be configured or designed to utilize different types of network communication protocols.
