The present disclosure is generally related to a data processing system to process data packets in a voice activated computer network environment. The data processing system can improve the efficiency of the network by generating non-video data responses to voice commands received from a client device if a display associated with a client device is in an OFF state. A digital assistant application executed on the client device can send to the data processing system client device configuration data, which includes the state of the display device, among status data of other components of the client device. The data processing system can receive a current volume of speakers associated with the client device, and set a volume level for the client device based on the current volume level and a minimum response volume level at the client device.

Provided is a display device including a display, a speaker, a communicator comprising communication circuitry configured to perform wireless communication, a memory configured to store one or more instructions, and a controller including at least one processor configured to execute at least one of the one or more instructions. Based on a wireless connection request for audio transmission being received from an external device while the display device is in a power-off state, the communicator is further configured to transmit, to the external device, a response indicating acceptance of the wireless connection request, and to operate to wake up the controller to a state requiring wireless connection.

Disclosed are a Bluetooth connection method and a television. The method may comprise: in response to a connection command for establishing a Bluetooth connection with a target Bluetooth device, determining a screen state of a display apparatus, wherein the screen state comprises a screen-on state or a screen-off state; if the screen state of the display apparatus is the screen-on state, establishing a Bluetooth connection with the target Bluetooth device; and if the screen state of the display apparatus is a screen-off state, forbidding the establishment of a Bluetooth connection with the target Bluetooth device. In the disclosure, a display apparatus establishes a connection with a Bluetooth device only when the screen state of the display apparatus is a screen-on state, thereby avoiding the situation where the display apparatus establishes a connection with the Bluetooth device when the display apparatus is in screen-off state.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for the detection of human presence in front of a plurality of sensors such as those of speakers and a device with a processor, such as a television. Data gathered from the plurality of sensors may be analyzed by the processor to determine if one or more humans are present proximate to the device. Based on the determined presence or absence of one or more humans, further actions including, inter alia, customizing a home theatre experience for the one or more humans, making content recommendations, or activating parental controls can be taken by the device.

The present application discloses a method for display control and a display device, including: detecting program information acquiring information of a currently displayed program; determining a children's program: identifying the children's program based on the program information; and controlling the displaying: if the program is not a children's program, displaying the program normally on a television, and if the program is a children's program, starting a preset protection mechanism.

An electronic apparatus configured to wirelessly communicate with an external terminal includes a control unit configured to perform a first control for transferring the electronic apparatus from a standby state to an operating state, and a second control for instructing the electronic apparatus in the operating state to perform a specific operation, and a measurement unit configured to measure a communication time required for a wireless communication with the external terminal in the operating state and the standby state. The control unit sets a first threshold and a second threshold smaller than the first threshold as thresholds for the communication time, and performs the first control when the communication time is smaller than the first threshold in the standby state and the second control when the communication time is smaller than the second threshold in the operating state.

An image transmission system includes an image transmitting device coupled to a computer, and an image receiving device coupled to a projector, and transmits image information from the image transmitting device to the image receiving device via wireless communication. The image receiving device detects a state of the wireless communication by the image transmitting device, outputs a first control signal turning on a power of the projector to the projector when detecting that the wireless communication is started, receives the image information transmitted from the image transmitting device, and outputs the received image information to the projector.

A system and method for automatically controlling a mode on a set top box [100]. The method comprises identifying, from a set of pre-stored contextual information, a target pre-stored contextual information associated with an entity. The method further comprises identifying, a usage preference associated with the entity based on the target pre-stored contextual information. Thereafter the method leads to identifying, one of a presence and an absence of the entity in the vicinity of the set top box [100] based on the target pre-stored contextual information and a sensor data. The method thereafter comprises automatically controlling, the mode on the set top box [100] based on the usage preference associated with the entity and one of the presence and the absence of the entity in the vicinity of the set top box [100].

Disclosed are a method for waking up an audio device, and a display apparatus. The method includes: while the display apparatus is in a standby state, in response to a power command input from a user, controlling the display apparatus to enter a power-on state from a standby state, and in response to determining that there is an audio device among a plurality of external devices connected with the display apparatus via HDMI interfaces, controlling the audio device to enter a power-on state first, and then controlling other external devices among the plurality of external devices except for the audio device to enter a power-on state.

A method and a device for controlling the state of a device including means for transferring an audiovisual source and means for reproducing an audio signal, the device being connected to a television set by means of an HDMI connection in accordance with an HDMI specification version 2.0 or higher. The device is in an operating mode as an audiovisual source or for reproducing an audio signal coming from the HDMI connection. The device: receives a change command, goes into the mode of reproducing an audio signal coming from the HDMI connection if it is in the audiovisual source mode, checks whether an audio signal coming from the HDMI connection is present and, if so, reproduces the audio signal coming from the HDMI connection by the means for reproducing an audio signal.
