Company patents

TiVo Solutions Inc.

TiVo Solutions Inc.'s patent strategy appears to have undergone a significant shift, with a dramatic decline in patenting across nearly all categories in 2025, including its dominant 'Pictorial / Video Communications' category, which saw a -96.7% YoY drop from 30 patents in 2024 to just 1 in 2025, and 'Databases & Information Retrieval' which experienced a -100.0% YoY decline in 2025. This widespread reduction suggests a potential divestment or a complete re-evaluation of its IP strategy, moving away from active patenting in its historical core areas.

Interrupting presentation of content data to present additional content in response to reaching a timepoint relating to the content data and notifying a server

Filed:2024-02-29Pub:2024-08-13
Applicant:TiVo Solutions Inc.

A portable device includes solid-state memory, an Ethernet and/or wireless network connection, and an HDMI. The portable device receives content guide data from a first server and displays a content guide on a display. In response to a user's selection of a content item, the portable device requests the content item over the Internet from a second server. The portable device receives the content item, stores the content item in solid-state memory, generates display signals that represent the content item, and sends the display signals to a display. The second server may match the content item with relevant advertisements based on keywords associated with the content item and the advertisements. The second server may send selected advertisement URLs to the portable device. Using the URLs, the portable device may obtain the advertisements over the Internet and cause the display to display the advertisements in conjunction with the content item.
