MEVIA Patent Portfolio

The previous technology used physical encoders and hard-coded graphics  to one final video and many other encoders. MEVIA brings the solution to software, HTML web-ages, and interactive TV is modernized. EGLA CORP’s prototypes and patents allow the integration of fully customizable "User Experiences" and even a customization in a per-user basis.

MEVIA Patents Portfolio : Graphical Representation 

As shown below, a media provider usually owns a "play back" facility. This facility contains all videos that are generating a Linear TV stream which is being broadcasted to Cable TV, Satellite, or Over-the-Air.  In my invention, the mediaplug can perform all these steps in a single box without requiring of a different facility.  Hence, a video can be broadcasted to a DOCSIS 3.0 system directly from the mediaplug, as the mediaplug counts with a caching unit and multicasting units that encode and transcode all streams.

In the case of ATSC 3.0, this is done as an over the air transmission system.  In, many TV broadcast medium, specially those over IP use a "multicast network."  The mediaplug is then equipped to handle any multicast network.  In this "multicast network," thousands if not more subscribers are connected and watching several streams.  

The current MEVIA implementation uses software to connect to the web, retrieve HTML content and  render that content to be overlaid on top of the originated stream from the broadcast. This widget is then ready to be presented to the user. At that point, once the overlay is on top of the video,  = special music or audio streams available can be added for the user to have a richer experience.  Those are audio assets are made available for the rendered video to create a resulting video that ultimately the user will see.

ATSC 3.0 and Streaming

Currently, the ATSC 3.0 standard, which uses an HTML-like video delivery platform, is exactly what the patents are designed to describe. There is 1 issued patent that reaffirms the ATSC 3.0 technology in Europe and that increases the value of all the patents and their legal standing.  Besides ATSC 3.0, our patented technology has other uses in broadcasting for Smart TVs, IPTV, Cable TV systems, and even in-vehicle technologies.

Streaming for CarPlay and Android Auto 

The main players for in-vehicle systems are Apple® with Corplay and Google's with Android Auto. These technologies are used in million of vehicles globally, and use for example navigation technologies that use extensive HTML and rendering engines. Also, information presented in a driver's console is derived from web widgets and assets

MEVIA OS - A Novel Distributed Operating System 

MEVIA OS is new way to interact with User Interfaces and Smart TVs.  In MEVIA OS, smart phones and tablets are used as controllers, and all Smart TVs with web-based interfaces are displays. In a way, an application has: a) A Controller, for example a keyboard, a game controller, or others, b) The Application selects the controller and is designed to work with the commands sends from a phone. c) the MEVIA OS provides storages, memory, data transports, for all the messages from the controllers to applications.
