Latest Patents
One of Lorcan Mooney's latest patents is for the "Automatic detection of communications satellite." This invention describes a fast and efficient automated satellite constellation detection process that operates independently of in-band data in the satellite signal. The automated detection process iterates through various predefined transponder settings to identify accessible satellite constellations through satellite dishes connected to a receiver. The process assesses whether the satellite receiver can lock onto a signal at each transponder setting, ultimately allocating specific satellite constellations to each dish. Additionally, channel information can be utilized to refine the detection and identification of accessible constellations.
Another notable patent is for "Digital TV scanning optimization." This innovation provides optimized scanning for Electronic Program Guide (EPG) data in streams by performing interim scans based on user data. The user data is collected from services accessed by users of the device. The streams are ranked according to this data, and a scan threshold is defined for a subset of streams. An interim scan occurs on these streams after a specified time interval, enhancing the efficiency of the scanning process.
