METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTING MEDIA GUIDANCE AMONG MULTIPLE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18222585 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTING MEDIA GUIDANCE AMONG MULTIPLE DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a media guidance application that divides its operations among multiple devices based on certain criteria associated with those devices.

  • The media guidance application analyzes the operations performed by a specific device and assigns some of those operations to nearby devices.
  • This distribution of operations allows for more efficient use of resources and potentially faster performance.
  • The criteria used to determine the distribution of operations may include factors such as device capabilities, network connectivity, or user preferences.
  • By distributing the workload, the media guidance application can optimize the user experience and provide seamless media guidance across multiple devices.
  • This innovation can enhance the functionality and performance of media guidance applications, improving the overall user satisfaction.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application that distributes media guidance application operations between multiple devices based on one or more criteria associated with those devices. For example, the media guidance application may determine the plurality of operations performed by a target device and distribute the plurality of operations among devices near that target device.
