SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACCESSING A USER INTERFACE VIA A SECONDARY DEVICE
An adapter provides a link between a digital media player having a memory on which is stored digital media files, a display device, and a remote control. The adapter receives from the digital media player data which is used to generate a representation of a user interface which is provided to the display device for display. The adapter also receives from the remote control data for use in generating commands for controlling operations of the digital media player whereby a change in state of the digital media player resulting from a performance of an operation caused by the remote control will be reflected in the user interface on the display device.
Method for controlling device including at least one memory, and smart TV
Disclosed are a method for controlling a device including at least one memory, and a smart TV. The method comprises the steps of: receiving, from a remote controller, a signal for executing at least one application; outputting video data and audio data of the executed application; temporarily storing the executed application in an internal memory; swapping, to an external memory, a page corresponding to a specific application of the at least one application stored in the internal memory; and displaying information on the application swapped to the external memory.
TV AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH EXTERNAL TUNER AND MEMORY FOR PERSONAL VIDEO RECORDING
An information processing apparatus includes a communication interface configured to connect to a tuner device. The information processing apparatus further includes processing circuitry configured to receive, from the tuner device, data packets corresponding to an Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 service included in a digital broadcast signal, determine whether an indication to pause the ATSC 3.0 service is received, and in response to a determination that the indication to pause the ATSC 3.0 service is received, stop reading, from a first memory of the tuner device, subsequent data packets corresponding to the ATSC 3.0 service.

Memory system allowing host to easily transmit and receive data
According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a non-volatile semiconductor memory device, a control unit, a memory as a work area, a wireless communication module, and an extension register. The control unit controls the non-volatile semiconductor memory device. The extension register is provided in the memory and has a data length by which a wireless communication function of the wireless communication module can be defined. The control unit causes the non-volatile semiconductor memory device to store, as a file, an HTTP request supplied from a host, causes the extension register, based on a first command supplied from the host, to register an HTTP transmission command transmitted together with the first command, and causes the wireless communication module to transmit the HTTP request stored in the non-volatile semiconductor memory device based on the transmission command registered in the extension register.
Method and Device for Using Telecommunication Networks to Control Media and Entertainment Devices
A system and method for controlling media devices over telecommunication networks is disclosed. In particular embodiments, the system and method utilize cellular telecommunication networks. The present system and method allows a user to control and, in some instances, unify a multitude of devices over the telecommunication network. Through telecommunication networks, such as cellular networks, media and entertainment can be shared between multiple devices.
Signal processing apparatus and methods
A unified system of programming communication. The system encompasses the prior art (television, radio, broadcast hardcopy, computer communications, etc.) and new user specific mass media. Within the unified system, parallel processing computer systems, each having an input (e.g., 77) controlling a plurality of computers (e.g., 205), generate and output user information at receiver stations. Under broadcast control, local computers (73, 205), combine user information selectively into prior art communications to exhibit personalized mass media programming at video monitors (202), speakers (263), printers (221), etc. .[.At intermediate transmission stations (e.g., cable television stations), signals in network broadcasts and from local inputs (74, 77, 97, 98) cause control processors (71) and computers (73) to selectively automate connection and operation of receivers (53), recorder/players (76), computers (73), generators (82), strippers (81), etc..]. At receiver stations, signals in received transmissions and from local inputs (225, 218, 22) cause control processors (200) and computers (205) to automate connection and operation of converters (201), tuners (215), decryptors (224), recorder/players (217), computers (205), furnaces (206), etc. Processors (71, 200) meter and monitor availability and usage of programming.
Targeted content during media downtimes
In particular embodiments, a method includes identifying a particular show being viewed on a first display device by a user and determining that a commercial break occurs within the particular show being viewed on the first display device. The method further includes determining a second display device associated with the user and providing targeted content for display on the second display device during the commercial break that is being displayed on the first display device. The targeted content includes content that is related to the particular show in which the commercial break occurs.
COMPUTER BASED SYSTEM FOR CONFIGURING, MANUFACTURING, TESTING, DIAGNOSING, AND RESETTING TARGET UNIT EQUIPMENT AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides an exemplary method that may include the steps of providing a computing device associated with a plurality of user; receiving output data transmitted from a target unit; analyzing the output data; transmitting a plurality of interaction commands; transmitting the plurality of interaction commands to an application or operating system; determining a plurality of identifying key words; dynamically determining a configuration screen image based on an identification of the plurality of identifying key words associated with the plurality of graphical user interface displays; automatically selecting a configuration setting associated with the plurality of interactive image elements based on the configurations screen image; and executing a plurality of ameliorative actions associated with the configuration setting.
Systems and methods for in-flight entertainment content transfer using fiber optic interface
In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to systems and methods for transferring in-flight entertainment content. A content loading panel in an aircraft may load content from at least one of a plurality of types of portable content storage devices. A content server in the aircraft may receive, from the content loading panel via a fiber optic link, the in-flight entertainment content loaded via the content loading panel. The content server may store the received in-flight entertainment content for provisioning to one or more wireless access points located in the aircraft.
