A method for configuring a computing device in a network of at least one remote device is disclosed. The method includes: storing, in a remote device, a configuration data archive relating to an existing computing device, wherein the remote device is at least one of a traffic camera or an aerial drone camera; determining, by a computing device to be configured, whether the remote device has stored therein a configuration data archive; and transferring data from the configuration data archive to the computing device to be configured in response to a determination that the remote device has stored therein a configuration data archive.

Systems and methods for generating notification interfaces synchronized with broadcast events and local interactions are disclosed. The system can receive a plurality of interactions corresponding to a conditional event opportunity of a live event from a respective plurality of client devices, and identify a broadcast receiver device that is presenting a broadcast of the live event. The system can generate instructions for a broadcast receiver device that causes an application executing on the broadcast receiver device to display one or more content items corresponding to the conditional event opportunity. The system can transmit the instructions to the broadcast receiver device to cause the application to display the one or more content items with the broadcast of the live event.

Disclosed is a display device including an external device interface configured to receive image data of an external device, a display configured to output the image data, and a controller configured to recognize a type of the external device using reference information of the external device, to correct image quality of the image data using distance information corresponding to the type of the external device, and to output the corrected image data.

Systems and methods for simultaneous local access to live broadcast content are disclosed. The system can receive a request to create a viewing session for a broadcast of a live event displayed at a broadcast receiver device, and identify a plurality of player profiles that are participating in the viewing session. The system can identify, based on the plurality of player profiles, a plurality of conditional events associated with the live event, and detect an outcome of the plurality of conditional events. The system can transmit, responsive to detecting the outcome of the plurality of conditional events, instructions that cause an application executing on the broadcast receiver device to display a notification corresponding to the outcome of the plurality of conditional events with the broadcast of the live event.

A controllable device, such as a set top box, responds to a transmission received from a one of a plurality of controlling devices of differing capabilities by entering into a one of a plurality of operating modes wherein the one of the plurality of operating modes entered into corresponds to the capabilities of the controlling device from which the transmission originated.

Example techniques relate to prioritizing media content requests. An example implementation involves a computing system receives an explicit request to play back a playlist on one or more playback devices of a media playback system. The computing system causes the playback devices to play back a given audio track of the playlist. While the playback devices are playing back first tracks of the playlist, the computing system receives one or more implicit requests for second audio tracks in the playlist. While the playback devices are playing back the second audio tracks of the playlist, the computing system receives an explicit request to play back audio content on a mobile device. The computing system determines that the request to play back the audio content on the mobile device is a higher priority than the requests for second audio tracks and switches playback from the playback devices to the mobile device.

Devices and methods for routing content are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for routing content include receiving audio data representing a command from a first electronic device, determining content that is associated with the command, sending responsive audio data to the first electronic device, and sending instructions to the second electronic device to output the content associated with the command. In some embodiments, a method for routing contents includes determining a state of the second electronic device and sending instructions to output the content to a selected one of the first and second electronic devices based on the state of the second electronic device.

A distributed system is run in a device in the method. The distributed system includes a system service, a first-type service located at an upper layer of the system service, and a second-type service located at an upper layer of the first-type service and having an interface display function. Both the first-type service and the second-type service are atomic services. A second device migrates a teaching video to a first device, and the first device plays the teaching video. A second-type service in the first device may call a first-type service in another device, to control the another device to capture a user action picture video, process the teaching video and the user action picture video to obtain teaching guidance, and play the teaching guidance.

Disclosed are a display apparatus and a method. The method includes: in response to detecting that an external device is connected via an external device interface of the display apparatus, obtaining SPD data from the external device; reading device identification information from the SPD data; in response to the device model being found in a device management list pre-stored in the display apparatus, switching a version of the transmission protocol to a version of the transmission protocol matched with the device model stored in the device management list; in response to the device mode being not found in the device management list, detecting a tag for indicating a new version function; in response to the tag for indicating the new version function being detected, switching the version of the transmission protocol to the first version; otherwise, switching the version of the transmission protocol to the second version.

Various arrangements for facilitating smart television content receivers are provided. A primary television receiver (PTR) having a first operating system may be configured to receive digital content from a remote content provider and distribute the content to one or more devices in response to a request for the content. A secondary television receiver (STR) configured to be in communication with a PTR and having a second operating system may be configured to receive the digital content from the PTR and provide the content to a display for presentation. The STR may include a first software stack including first processes and a first inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism, and a second software stack including second processes and a second IPC mechanism. The first processes may use the first IPC to communicate with the second processes. The second processes may use the second IPC to communicate with others of the second processes.
