Networked mobile EPG service architecture
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A networked mobile EPG system, comprising:
- an EPG application running on a user device to query and retrieve EPG contents from a home network;
a home network gateway using SIP messaging to allow communication of commands and data on the user device to and from a home networked device through bridging between SIP and a non-SIP protocol of the home network; and
an EPG service on the home network to send EPG metadata when a query is made from the user device.

Abstract
A networked mobile EPG system includes an EPG application running on a user device to query and retrieve EPG contents from a home network. A home network gateway uses SIP messaging to allow communication of commands and data on the user device to and from a home networked device through bridging between SIP and a non-SIP protocol of the home network. An EPG service on the home network sends EPG metadata when a query is made from the user device.

20. A portable device for use with a networked mobile EPG system, the device comprising:
-
one or more applications with graphical user interface components adapted to send EPG requests to a home network via SIP and display EPG contents received form the home network via SIP;
a wireless interface for communicating with a SIP enabled network; and
a network stack enabling said device to communicate with the home network via SIP protocol, therefore acting as a SIP UA (user agent) from the SIP network perspective. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
