World Wide Broadcast Network, Inc. Announces Issuance of US Patent For Its Numeric Indexing System of Internet Media Networks

WWBN News

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ATLANTA GEORGIA, January 04, 2011 –World Wide Broadcast Network Inc. (WWBN), a broadcast systems technology company focused on development of systems for Internet broadcasting, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued US Patent 7,865,498 covering a broadcast network platform system, and methods for which the user, has the ability to search for content using a broadcast network search engine, directory and numerical index which enables the user to search for content within broadcast networks using search terms, a category directory and numeric index and is able to filter within the search results using any combination of the same.

The system provides search results in several forms, including a video only form, a text only form, an icon form, or a combination of media form types, including text and/or icons and/or multimedia. The multimedia data platform is format independent in that it can present multimedia files having a variety of data formats, such as commercially available MPEG, AVI, etc., formats.

WWBN’s BANS (Broadcast Allocation Node System, a subsystem of the Broadcast Network Platform System) have a unique mode of action. They stimulate the process of user interaction similar to cable and satellite linear channels, except it extends into a multi-level numeric indexing system, which enables users to surf for online video content with the same familiarity as cable and satellite networks enable them to do today and it also enables broadcast networks to organize their broadcasting efforts and content in a similar way as they have done previously with private networks (cable and satellite), boosting brand, content and ad revenue.

This proprietary technology is applicable to the rapid development and production of Internet connected devices, including, Internet TV, Web TV, Mobile devices such as PDAs, cell phones and tablets, gaming consoles and TV appliances with access to the Internet. WWBN has exclusive rights to the patented technology and has prototyped candidates in development.

“This patent is an important component of WWBN’s formidable intellectual property portfolio covering specific techniques for organizing broadcast networks and disseminating content over the Internet using a numerical index similar to cable and dish linear networks, but with a multi-level index capable of indexing large broadcast networks over the Internet.”

According to Alexious Fiero, President and CEO of WWBN, they have been holding on to this and other technologies since 2002, until Internet video and online video were ready for mainstream. He authored the book, OSTV the Next Wave of Information: The Convergence of Search Technology, Multimedia and the Internet (ISBN: 188488623X, 9781884886232) in 2003 which covered the convergence of search technology, multimedia and the Internet and which culminated in a centralized method to operate broadcast networks and signals over a global network.

“This patent is an important component of WWBN’s formidable intellectual property portfolio covering specific techniques for organizing broadcast networks and disseminating content over the Internet using a numerical index similar to cable and dish linear networks, but with a multi-level index capable of indexing large broadcast networks over the Internet.”

In the ten years Mr. Fiero and WWBN have been waiting for the Internet TV revolution to begin, WWBN has been utilizing the platform to service those industries that have been hard hit by the Internet revolution most, such as newspapers and media networks and enabling these companies to monetize their online properties with video. Companies such as SCRIPPS Network, Tribune Interactive, Stephens Media, SUNMEDIA from Canada among many others have adapted WWBN’s platform for video distribution and are now poised to make the transformation to Internet TV running their own broadcast networks.

We at WWBN like the newspapers and media networks as they provide a gateway to their local and national markets. As more and more users move from the PC to other devices such as the TV to get their information and entertainment these channels of information and distribution become more and more relevant to their audiences.

We have several more patents and continuing patents in the pipeline that we hope will be helpful and important in the evolution of television and Internet added added Mr. Fiero.
