The present disclosure provides a method for processing a global key of a smart television, in the method, a system side intercepts a detected remote controller key event; when it is determined that the remote controller key event needs to be sent to an application in a broadcast form, the system side generates a broadcast message according to the remote controller key event, and broadcasts the broadcast message; the application preregistering broadcast in the application side receives the broadcast message; when the application which has received the broadcast message determines that the global key processing is needed, a global key processing is conducted according to the remote controller key event in the broadcast message. The present disclosure provides a system for processing a global key of a smart television. The present disclosure can realize the function of processing the global key in any application.

A service data pushing method is disclosed to prevent message pushing from affecting an operation that is currently performed in a device. The method includes establishing, by a second device, a communication connection with a first device according to triggering of a specified action, when the first device presents service push information; receiving, by the second device, related information of the service push information that is transmitted by the first device; and determining, by the second device, a pushing page corresponding to the service push information according to the related information, and presenting the pushing page to perform a corresponding service operation. The service push information is pushed by using the first device and is viewed by using the second device, so that video information currently played in the first device is not affected.

The present invention provides a media player configurable to provide the user with a seamless way of conducting transactions from within a window of the media player itself. All intermediate steps relating to the required transaction are carried out by calling up relevant modules/applications from within the application libraries from within an e-commerce platform. In preferred embodiments, the media player is configured to retrieve an encoded media file from a server or other content delivery network (CDN). The media player is further configured to display predefined overlays to the user during playback of the media file in response to identifying cues encoded into the media file by the content owner. The content owner can upload the media files to a server or other CDN via a dashboard/user interface. The cues can be encoded with a plurality of fields to enable the desired functionality to be achieved.

A method of power signal detection of set top boxes under test is disclosed. According to certain embodiments, detection of a failure mode of a set top box (STB) under test is based on video signal detection where the video signal is associated with multiple video output types and AC power outlet signal detection.

Provided is an operation method of a receiving entity, the method including setting a session with a sending entity based on bootstrap information; transmitting a signaling message corresponding to a media delivery request to the sending entity through the session; receiving media data from the sending entity through the session; and transmitting a signaling message corresponding to a media delivery control request to the sending entity through the session while receiving the media data.

Disclosed herein are various embodiments for a media device upgrading system with a native user interface. An embodiment operates by displaying a native user interface of a media device configured to operate in both a normal mode without an upgrader device and an upgrader mode when an upgrader device is connected to an input port of the media device. It is determined that the upgrader device is connected a command is received via the native user interface. it is determined that the command operates a software component, and the command is provided to the upgrader device. A response to executing the command is received from the upgrader device, and a response is displayed on the native user interface.

The present disclosure relates to an image display apparatus including a battery and a method for controlling the same, and the image display apparatus, which receives an input signal for channel selection from an external input device, comprising: an antenna; a tuner for selecting a broadcast signal corresponding to a specific channel, among signals received through the antenna, on the basis of the input signal and converting the selected broadcast signal into an image signal; a display unit for outputting an image associated with the specific channel by using the converted image signal; a power supply unit which includes a battery, charges the battery while electric energy from the outside is received and supplies power to the display unit using the electric energy received from the outside; a power failure detection unit for detecting whether power failure corresponding to a cut off of the electric energy supplied from the outside occurs; and a control unit for supplying power to the display unit using the battery when the power failure detection unit detects power failure and controlling brightness of at least one area of the display unit on the basis of residual capacity of the battery.

Various arrangements for facilitating smart television content receivers in a local network are provided. In an example, a secondary television receiver receives audio data, converts the audio data into voice command data, and transmits the voice command data to a primary television receiver. In response, the primary television receiver transmits the voice command data to a voice processing server via the Internet, receives a command generated based on the voice command data, and transmits the command to the secondary television receiver. Based on the command, an operation of the secondary television receiver is controlled.

Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for display dynamic splash screens using a media device during a launch sequence of an application without interrupting or delaying processing of the launch sequence. A launch sequence may be considered to include operations for compiling code associated with the application and operations for displaying splash screens. An example embodiment operates by the media device launching the application responsive to receiving a request and while code for the application is being compiled, selecting and displaying a dynamic splash screen. Operations of compiling code and displaying the splash screen may be performed under the control of the media device operating system and control is passed from the operating system to the application after launch sequence is completed.
