摘要:
A method of structuring Remote User Interface (RUI) into a tiered hierarchical standard with a minimum base RUI profile that is supported by all devices that meet the standard with optional support for the higher level hierarchies within the tier. RUI profiles are a superset of a lower RUI, so that lower RUIs are able to be partially rendered by a higher RUI.

Devices and methods are disclosed for detecting a focus of at least one viewer as being directed to a particular region of a video display. A first portion of a frame of video for presentation in the region of the viewer's focus is processed differently than another portion of the frame of video related to a region that is not part of the viewer's focus.

The invention is a Gray code counter that uses a carry chain to determine the state of each bit of the counter. An additional bit that toggles at every clock is used to originate the carry chain, and to determine the counter direction. Then, a generic Gray count bit module is used to process the carry and count chain for each bit of the counter. Special consideration is given to the first and last bits of the counter to ensure correct termination and reset of the counter. A one bit gray code generic module is described such that a scalable counter can be generated recursively.

Some embodiments provide methods of displaying content comprising: receiving, through a user agent of a web browser application implemented on a television, web content comprising an option defined within the web content to cause the retrieval and playback of additional multimedia content; activating a first canvas and displaying the web content in the first canvas; detecting an activation of the option; retrieving the additional multimedia content; intercepting the additional multimedia content and preventing the additional multimedia content from being displayed within the first canvas; activating a second canvas; and playing back, on the television and in response to the detection of the activation of the option, the additional multimedia content within the second canvas while the web content continues to be displayed within the first canvas such that both the first canvas and the second canvas are active and displayed simultaneously.

A computer keyboard is provided that has one and only one row of keys for inputting letters. The keys of the row can each represent one of at least three letters. Thus, the row can instantiate the top row of letters in a conventional QWERTY layout, or the middle row, or the bottom row, or even the number row depending on what the user selects, thereby consuming less space than a conventional multi-row QWERTY keyboard and also thereby presenting enhanced ergonomics relative to a conventional QWERTY layout.

A visual display includes at least a first canvas configured to display a first session on the display and a second canvas configured to display a second session on the display. The first session includes first content received from a first content source and the second session includes second content having subject matter associated with the first content. The display includes a user agent configured to determine that the first content of the first session is associated with the second content of the second session and to pair the first and second canvases such that the first content and the second content are synchronized to each other.
