INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
While presenting on a display apparatus videos of high picture quality obtained from portable video processing apparatuses such as a camera and a cellular, it is possible to communicate with the Internet and/or a home network. A display apparatus includes a first radio communication unit capable of receiving video information by radio from an external video processing apparatus, a second radio communication unit capable of connecting by radio to a network, and a control unit for controlling assignment of connection by radio transmission for each of the first and second radio communication units. The control unit assigns connection of the first radio communication unit with higher priority and controls the assignment of the transmission rate such that the transmission rate between the first radio communication unit and the external video processing apparatus is more than that between the second radio communication unit and the network.
TELEVISION AND SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE
A television and system and method for providing a remote control device are disclosed. In one embodiment of the television, the television includes a processor, a memory, a tuner, a panel, and an audio driver therein in an interconnected architecture. The television may establish a pairing with a proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device, such as a proximate wireless-enabled interactive handheld device having a touch screen display, whereby formatted parallel audiovisual experience instructions, including virtual buttons, may be transmitted to the proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device for display on the touch screen display to create an experience parallel to the experience on the television. The television receives and processes virtual remote control functionality input instructions from the proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device to control amenities associated with the television.

Adaptive switching in a whole home entertainment system
Provided herein are various embodiments for synchronizing playback of audio and video. An embodiment operates by determining that a first quality video is being received at a media device. It is determined that a buffer of the media device is not large enough to buffer the first quality video long enough to synchronize an output of the high quality video with the output of the audio by one or more wireless speakers. A second quality of the video that the buffer can hold long enough to synchronize is identified, wherein the second quality of the video is lower than the first quality of the video. The media device outputs the video at the second quality and the corresponding audio to the one or more wireless speakers.

INCIDENT REPORT GENERATION FROM MULTIMEDIA DATA CAPTURE
This disclosure describes an apparatus and system for classifying audio and video data captured by a portable recording device. The portable recording device may comprise a camera system enclosure that captures audio and video data that reflects a user’s point-of-view perception of their surroundings. The video and/or audio data may be transmitted in real-time, or near real-time, to a Central Multimedia Management (CMM) System at a Network Operations Center, or one or more mobile computing devices, via one or more networks. Alternatively, or additionally, the video and/or audio data may be stored within memory of the portable recording device. This disclosure further describes a CMM system that may act as a central repository of multimedia data from one or more portable recording device(s). The CMM system may further generate and assign incident report forms for each individual instance of real-time data that is recorded by a portable recording device.
Wireless communications pairing method and wireless communications pairing system
A wireless communications pairing method includes providing a receiver and a first transmitter linked to the receiver, establishing a first link between the first transmitter and a second transmitter, transmitting pairing information from the first transmitter to the second transmitter through the first link, establishing a second link between the second transmitter and the receiver according to the pairing information after the second transmitter receives the pairing information, transmitting an image signal from an image signal source coupled to the second transmitter to the second transmitter after the second transmitter is triggered, processing the image signal by the second transmitter for transmitting the image signal from the second transmitter to the receiver, and controlling a display device for displaying an image by the receiver according to the image signal.
System and method for disseminating functionality to a target device
According to some embodiments, systems and methods are provided comprising searching, with a searching device, on a local network for the target device, wherein the digital wallet is an electronically stored registered card based account for use in electronic commercial transactions, and wherein the entire digital wallet is absent from the target device prior to the search; selecting at the searching device one or more target devices; and pushing the digital wallet to the target device, including digital wallet functionality, to the target device selected at the searching device by a user to establish the digital wallet at the target device, without having to enter information at the target device to create a new digital wallet at the target device. Numerous other aspects are provided.
