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.

US Patent:
20120322384, Dec 20, 2012
Filed:
Jun 5, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/488809
Inventors:
Derin M. Zerr - Sioux Falls SD, US
James L. Fenno - Sioux Falls SD, US

Assignee:
LODGENET INTERACTIVE CORPORATION - Sioux Falls SD
International Classification:
H04B 7/00
H04W 4/04
US Classification:
455 413
Abstract:
Methods and systems for associating or pairing a mobile device with a local output device via a central or mobile connect server system are provided. Pairing is performed by initiating a pairing request from an output device that is passed to the mobile connect server for processing. The mobile connect server responds to the request with a pairing code that is displayed by the output device. A user of the mobile device then enters the displayed pairing code in the mobile device. The mobile device transmits the entered pairing code to the mobile connect server and, in response to a match, the mobile device is paired to the output device. Pairing can enable various functions, including an ability to apply stored user preference data to control programming or other information displayed by the output device in response to commands entered in the mobile device.
