UPDATING MEDIA DEVICES IN A LOCAL NETWORK WITH A CLIENT-SERVER ARCHITECTURE
Systems, methods, and non-transitory, machine-readable media to facilitate updating media devices in a local network with a client-server architecture are disclosed. A primary media device may be configured to operate as a server in a local network, receive audio/video (A/V) content via an Internet connection and/or a satellite network connection, serve the A/V content to a set of one or more secondary media devices for display with at least one television of a set of one or more televisions, and receive a set of one or more software updates via the Internet connection, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection, and/or the satellite network connection. One or more software updates of the set of one or more software updates may be specified for, and may be transferred to, the set of one or more secondary media devices.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING STREAMING IN A LOCAL NETWORK WITH MULTIPLE SUBNETS
Systems, methods, and non-transitory, machine-readable media to facilitate streaming in a local network are disclosed. A primary media device may be configured to: operate as a server in a local network, receive audio/video (A/V) content, and provide the A/V content to a first display. A secondary media device may be communicatively connected to the primary media device and may be configured to: operate as a client with respect to the primary media device in the local network, receive the A/V content from the primary media device, and provide the A/V content to a second display. The primary media device and the secondary media device may use multiple subnets in the local network. The primary media device and/or the secondary media device may select a first subnet of the multiple subnets to use based at least in part on a type of content to communicate via the first subnet.
Setup procedures for an electronic device
In some embodiments, an electronic device can guide the user in setting up the device for the first time or after a factory reset. In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates suggesting and installing applications on the electronic device during device setup. In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates transferring settings and information from another electronic device during device setup.
Updating object subscriptions based on trigger events
Updating object subscriptions based on trigger events is described. An indication of a trigger event, associated with an object, can be received from a client of a user. The object can be associated with current object data that is stored in a storage area of a subscription management system. The storage area can maintain the current object data for at least the object and a subscription list for client(s), wherein the subscription list for each of the client(s) comprises object identifiers corresponding to subscribed objects for each of the client(s). Based at least partly on receiving the indication of the trigger event and determining that the trigger event is associated with a modification to a subscription, the subscription list can be updated to generate an updated subscription list for the client and current object data for the subscribed objects identified within the updated subscription list can be provided thereto.
DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME
A display device and a method for controlling same are disclosed. The display device compares device information of an external electronic device stored in the display device with device information transmitted by the external electronic device, thereby being capable of accurately recognizing a change in the external electronic device communicatively connected with the display device in a state in which the display device is turned off.
Method To Support ENTV Broadcast And Unicast Modes In UE
Various aspects include methods for supporting Enhancement for Television (ENTV) service delivery to a user equipment (UE) in a fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) radio access network (RAN). Various aspects may include generating an ENTV capability message, the ENTV capability message indicating one or more ENTV parameters of the UE, and sending the ENTV capability message to a Next Generation NodeB (gNB) of the 5G-NR RAN. Various aspects may include receiving a ENTV capability message from the UE, the ENTV capability message indicating one or more ENTV parameters of the UE, determining one or more radio resource configurations for the UE based at least in part on the one or more ENTV parameters of the UE, and generating a configuration message indicating the one or more radio resource configurations for the UE, and sending the configuration message to the UE.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTING MEDIA GUIDANCE AMONG MULTIPLE DEVICES
Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application that distributes media guidance application operations between multiple devices based on one or more criteria associated with those devices. For example, the media guidance application may determine the plurality of operations performed by a target device and distribute the plurality of operations among devices near that target device.
Cross-media measurement device and method
A method of identifying media content presented on a display device includes determining a selected input source providing a video signal to the display device, and then selecting a first set of content identification rules when it is determined that the selected input source is a first input source, and selecting a second set of content identification rules when it is determined that the selected input source is a second input source. The method further comprises applying the selected first set or second set of content identification rules to the video signal in order to generate content identification data for the media content presented on the display device. Application of the content identification rules includes waiting for a trigger event and applying an algorithm to one or more frames of the video signal following the trigger event.
MEDIA DEVICE HOUSEHOLDING AND DEDUPLICATION
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An apparatus includes at least one memory, instructions, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions. The processor circuitry executes the instructions to deduplicate at least one of panel data, automatic content recognition data, or return path data to generate a deduplicated data set. The processor circuitry executes the instructions to generate a graph that connects devices identified in the deduplicated data set, the devices connected based on at least one of a shared intemet protocol addresses, a shared location identifier, or a common device identifier assigned by a common device identification algorithm. The processor circuitry executes the instructions to remove one or more connections based on an inconsistency between the one or more connections and personally identifiable information.
System and method for interactive set top box setup
A system and method provide for installation and setup of a set-top box (STB) in a Digital TV network includes a mobile device running a mobile application, an operator application, and a display configured to display video from the STB. A status of the STB is determined and encoded into an optically scannable graphic displayed by the display. The optically scannable graphic is scanned with an optical device in communication with the mobile device and the status of the STB is decoded. The status of the STB is transmitted to the operator application compared with an acceptance criteria.
