Filed:

Aug 31, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/601056

Inventors:

Paul Bellotti - Cheyenne WY, US
Christofer Hardy - Cheyenne WY, US

Assignee:

ECHOSTAR TECHNOLOGIES L.L.C. - Englewood CO

International Classification:

H04N 7/01

US Classification:

348441, 348E07003

Abstract:

A personalized television viewing system includes a head-end subsystem. The head-end subsystem includes a personality server configured to store a user preference regarding a television viewing format and a rendering server configured to provide digital media content in the television format of the user's preference. The viewing system further includes a client-end subsystem. The client-end subsystem includes a client server configured to electronically communicate with the head-end subsystem and provide the personality server with the user preference regarding the television viewing format.

Appl. No.:

12/341727

Inventors:

Jeffrey Lang McSchooler - Cheyenne WY, US
Paul J. Bellotti - Cheyenne WY, US

Assignee:

EchoStar Technologies L.L.C. - Englewood CO

International Classification:

H04N 7/12
G06F 17/30

US Classification:

37524001, 707E17002

Abstract:

A method for transcoding audio/video content is presented. In the method, a first digital file including the audio/video content is received and stored. Audio/video attributes for generating a second digital file including the audio/video content of the first digital file are also received. The stored first digital file is then transcoded based on the audio/video attributes to generate the second digital file. The second digital file is then stored and transferred for presentation to a user.

Abstract:

Drone-based wireless communications systems are provided, as are methods carried-out by such wireless communications systems. In one embodiment, the wireless communications system includes a Satellite Signal Transformation (SST) unit and a plurality of aerial network drones, which can be deployed over a designated geographical area to form a multi-drone network thereover. During operation, the SST unit transmits a network source signal, which contains content extracted from a satellite signal. The multi-drone network receives the network source signal, disseminates drone relay signals containing the content through the multi-drone network, and broadcastings user device signals containing the content over the designated geographical area. In embodiments, the multi-drone network may broadcast multiple different types of user device signals for reception by various different types of user devices located within the designated geographical area, such as an arear containing communication infrastructure disabled by a natural disaster, a hostile attack, or other catastrophic event.
