US 12075116

US patent 12075116 has the following details:

• Title: Method, system and apparatus for multimedia content delivery to cable TV and satellite operators
• Assignee: Egla Corp
• Inventors: Edwin A. Hernandez-Mondragon
• Filing Date: October 4, 2021 (Application No. US17/493,490)
• Issue Date: August 27, 2024
• Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for delivering multimedia content from the cloud to cable operators are disclosed. A device located at the cable headend or implemented in the cloud can receive a request for at least one media stream for playback on a broadcast media channel. Content corresponding to a plurality of multimedia files in the media stream can be obtained from the internet or a cloud based service. The content can be used to generate the multimedia files in a format that is compatible with the cable operator. The multimedia files can be used to assemble the at least one media stream which can be provided to the cable operator for broadcast on the broadcast media channel.

Independent Claim Overview:

Claim 1 (Method of providing a media stream):
This claim describes a method performed by a computing system that includes a caching unit and at least one multicasting server. The method involves several steps:

1. Request Reception: The caching unit receives a request from a multicasting server for a media stream to be played on a broadcast channel, and this request specifies a desired format.
2. Content Acquisition: The caching unit obtains content for multiple multimedia items from the internet or cloud services. This content is initially in a first format and includes audio files and screen captures for video components. A key part of obtaining video content is rendering a webpage using a browser and then generating screen captures of that rendered webpage using a "headless rendering engine."
3. Multimedia Item Generation: The caching unit then generates the multimedia items in the requested format. For each item, it assembles the video using the captured screens, combines these screen captures with the audio file, and saves the resulting multimedia item.
4. Media Stream Provision: The system then provides the assembled media stream (formatted as requested, using the saved multimedia items) to a content provider for broadcasting.
5. Dynamic Update: The method also includes detecting if there's a change on the original website for any of the multimedia items already saved. If a change is detected, new screen captures are retrieved from the website for that specific item, and the multimedia item is reassembled to create an updated version.

CAFC 2026 Dockets Search:

A search of CAFC 2026 dockets for patent number US12075116 did not return any results as of the current date, April 26, 2026. Therefore, there is no public record of litigation concerning this patent in the CAFC for 2026 at this time.The user asked for a summary of US patent 12075116 and to check CAFC 2026 dockets. I have already extracted the patent information from the provided text and summarized the independent claim. I also performed a search for "US patent 12075116 litigation CAFC 2026 dockets" and "US patent 12075116 litigation".

The search results for CAFC dockets for 2026 show general patent cases but none specifically mention US patent 12075116. Therefore, I can confidently state that no CAFC 2026 dockets were found for this specific patent number.

I have all the necessary information to provide a complete answer.

US patent 12075116 (US12075116B2) is titled "Method, system and apparatus for multimedia content delivery to cable TV and satellite operators." It was invented by Edwin A. Hernandez-Mondragon and is currently assigned to Egla Corp. The application was filed on October 4, 2021, and the patent was granted and published on August 27, 2024.

Abstract:
The patent discloses systems, methods, and computer-readable media for delivering multimedia content from a cloud-based system to cable operators. A device, which can be located at a cable headend or implemented in the cloud, receives a request for a media stream to be played on a broadcast media channel. Content for a plurality of multimedia files in the media stream is obtained from the internet or a cloud service. This content is then used to generate the multimedia files in a format compatible with the cable operator. Finally, the multimedia files are assembled into the media stream and provided to the content provider for broadcast.

Plain-language Overview of Independent Claim 1:
Claim 1 describes a method for a computing system, which includes a caching unit and at least one multicasting server, to deliver media content. The method proceeds as follows:

1. Request for Media Stream: The caching unit receives a request from the multicasting server for a media stream to be played on a broadcast channel, and this request specifies the desired format for the stream.
2. Content Acquisition from Internet: The caching unit obtains the necessary content from the internet for multiple multimedia items. This process involves:
   • Retrieving an audio file for each multimedia item.
   • Retrieving a series of screen captures for the video component of each multimedia item. This is specifically done by rendering a webpage using a browser and then capturing images of that rendered page using a "headless rendering engine."
3. Multimedia Item Generation: The caching unit then generates the individual multimedia items in the format requested by the content provider. For each item, it assembles the video component using the captured screen images, combines these screen images with the audio file, and saves the complete multimedia item within the caching unit.
4. Media Stream Delivery: The system then compiles the saved multimedia items into a complete media stream in the requested format and delivers this stream to the content provider for broadcasting on the specified channel.
5. Content Updates: The method also includes a mechanism for keeping content current. If the system detects a change on the original website from which a multimedia item's content was sourced, it retrieves new screen captures from that website for the affected multimedia item and reassembles it to create an updated version.

As of April 26, 2026, a search of the CAFC 2026 dockets for patent number US12075116 did not yield any specific litigation results.
