Abstract: A first data that identifies a first device is used to identify within a data store a one or more capabilities of the first device. When a voice input having one or more keywords that have been pre-associated within the data store to an operational problem associated with at least the first device is received, a system causes a state of at least the first device at a time at which the voice input is received to be identified, causes the one or more keywords, the one or more capabilities of the first device, and the state of at least the first device to be used to identify within the data store a set of instructions for interacting with at least the first device to solve the operational problem, and causes the set of instructions to be presented to a user.

Abstract: Sensing interfaces associated with a home entertainment system are used to automate a system response to events which occur in a viewing area associated with the home entertainment system. Data derived from such sensing interfaces may also be used to enhance the response readiness of one or more system components. Still further, user presence data derived from such sensing interfaces may be used to capture and report user viewing habits and/or preferences.

Abstract: Apparatus, system and method for promoting media apps to an end user of a smart device. The smart device gathers information of apps that have been installed into the smart device and provides this information to a remote server. The remote server compares the information sent by the smart device to an identification of promoted apps received from a remote source to identify apps that are not installed in the smart device that are included in the identification of promoted apps. The remote server then notifies the smart device of which apps in the identification of promoted apps are not installed into the smart device, so that a user of the smart device may choose to have the missing app installed.

Abstract: A system and method whereby an user interface editing device is used to create a user interface for a controlling device, the created user interface including user interface elements that are associated with functional operations of a virtual equivalent of an appliance. After the created user interface is transferred to the controlling device, the virtual equivalent of an appliance is caused to be linked to an intended target appliance whereupon activation of those user interface elements of the graphical user interface that were associated with functional operations of the virtual equivalent of an appliance will cause the controlling device to transmit commands to control corresponding functional operations of the intended target appliance.

Abstract: A password less login using a smart device is caused to retrieve from a cloud-server a one-time use code. The smart device is associated with a virtual user account to control a plurality of controllable devices with a device app installed on a smart device. The one-time use code is provided to a controllable device and the controllable device is caused to provide the one-time use code back to the smart device. The app causes the one-time use code provided back to the smart device by the controllable device to be authenticated. In response to the one-time use code being authenticated, the controllable device is bound to the app whereupon the controllable device is controllable through use of the app.

Abstract: A system for providing a health care service includes a sound detection device, a first environmental sensor, a network accessible platform, and a network communicatively coupling the sound detection device, the first environmental sensor, and the network accessible platform. The network accessible platform is programmed to evaluate a sound data received from the sound detection device and generated by a user and a first sensor data received from the first environmental sensor to determine an abnormal condition associated with the user. The platform then causes an action to be performed by at least one further device coupled to the network accessible platform. The action is an action that was associated with the determined abnormal condition associated with the user.

Abstract: A controlling device is automatically configured to issue a communication directly to a first controllable appliance to control a functional operation of the first controllable appliance in the event that the first controllable appliance is determined to be unresponsive to a command communication transmitted to the first controllable appliance via a digital communications link or to issue a communication to a second controllable appliance to control the functional operation of the first controllable appliance via a digital communications link in the event that first controllable appliance is determined to be responsive to a command communication transmitted to the first controllable appliance via a digital communications link.
