Neopatents Patent Matrix

Our Patent Matrix® Tool Simplifies The Examination Process

Big patent projects frequently involve an initial screening of hundreds of patents to determine if the claims are relevant. This work is mind-numbing, which can lead to errors.

Once the relevant patents are found, each claims series needs to be examined in detail - another tedious task.

Not looking forward to these big projects? Then make them easier with Patent Matrix® Diagrams.

Patent Matrix® Diagrams are easy to use. Just click on one of the diagrams below. You’ll see the preamble of the independent claims. Click on one of the preambles and watch it expand to show the claims components (red boxes) and the dependent claims (black boxes). Dependent claims outlined in bold black boxes have more dependents beneath them. Click on the preamble again to collapse the series.

[+] Show Details

8424052

1. A method for finding and accessing desired content from audio and video content sources, the method steps comprising: (10) (12)

providing a server with a processing unit, the server is constructed, configured and coupled to enable communication over a network;

the server provides for user interconnection with the server over the network using a computing device positioned remotely from the server;

the server and computing device running non-transitory computer-readable storage media with executable programs stored thereon;

the computing device monitoring a broadcast;

the executable programs:

extracting captions from a broadcast in near real-time;

aggregating the captions in a database in a cloud computing system;

indexing the database content;

searching the captions for a mention of at least one target;

analyzing the results for desired content;

and indexing into the database to extract the desired content;

and thereby providing a method for quickly finding and accessing desired audio and video content from a large number of sources.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the audio content is any voice broadcast. (0)

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the extraction capability is embedded in a device selected from the group consisting of PC, TV, PVR, DVR, SOC and mobile device. (0)

4. The method of claim 1, further including the step of adding at least one Advertisement Tag Code to electronically mark an advertisement or target content. (4)

9. The method of claim 1, further including the step of creating captions for un-captioned audio content. (0)

10. The method of claim 1, wherein a local machine is provided running a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable program stored thereon, the executable programs extracting the captions. (0)

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the captions are aggregated in one location. (0)

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the analysis includes determining the earned media and paid media of the at least one target. (0)

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the analysis includes categorizing the at least one target mentions into positive, negative, neutral and unknown categories. (0)

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the analysis includes linking the target mention results to other social media and digital media target mention results. (0)

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the retrieved captions are retrieved from media selected from the group consisting of audio and video media. (0)

16. A system for extracting captions in near real-time, comprising: (1) (8)

18. A method for extracting voice broadcasts, the method steps comprising: (0) (13)

providing a database on a cloud computing system and a server with a processing unit, the server is constructed, configured and coupled to enable communication over a network;

the server provides for user interconnection with the server over the network using a computing device positioned remotely from the server;

the server and computing device running non-transitory computer-readable storage media with executable programs stored thereon;

the executable programs;

the computing device monitoring a voice broadcast;

the executable programs:

extracting captions from the voice broadcast in near real-time;

aggregating the captions in the database in the cloud computing system;

indexing the database content;

searching the captions for a mention of at least one target;

and analyzing the results for desired content;

indexing into the database to extract the desired content;

and thereby providing a method for quickly finding and accessing desired voice broadcasts from a large number of sources.

19. A method for managing communication through mass media, the method steps comprising: (0) (8)

20. A method for preventing invalid captions from being submitted to a closed caption database, the method steps comprising: (0) (4)

21. A method for extracting complete captions from fragmented audio captions, the method steps comprising: (0) (6)

Don’t get lost in the claims again. Use Patent Matrix® Diagrams. Can it be any easier?

Innovation needs patent protection to attract funding for product development and commercialization. Businesses derive competitive advantage through innovative products as well as by licensing patented technology to others. Managing a portfolio of Intellectual Property Assets is becoming a key role in many companies. Unfortunately, the surge in patent activity and patent complexity makes it much more difficult to understand and communicate the value of your patent property.

Faster
Screening - Screen patents faster - Screening thousands of patents for claims coverage can be mind-numbing.

Better
1. Don’t get lost in the claims – Reviewing many patents Patents can have a large number of claims. Practitioners can have to look at multiple patents. Multiple patents x multiple claims = lots of claims to get lost in. Have you been looking at too many claims? Do you sometimes have to dig through a mound of claims to reconfirm your opinion?

2. Don’t get confused about what is really covered by the claims.
