Abstract: An app installed on a smart device is caused to retrieve from a cloud-server a one-time use code. The one-time use code is then 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: Information obtained from a smart device is used to determine a unique identity for the smart device. The identity for the smart device is then used to locate installed app information for the smart device. Data for installing one or more apps corresponding to the installed app information for the smart device is then provided to a setup app to thereby facilitate installation on the centralized, host device of the one or more apps corresponding to the installed app information for the smart device.

Abstract: Contextual information for an ecosystem that includes a consumer electronic device is used by a virtual agent to speed up the process by which the virtual agent provides technical support related to the consumer electronic device. The contextual information is used to reduce the amount of information the virtual agent requires from the consumer. Whilst collecting information from the consumer, the virtual agent also functions to determines if a hand-off of the consumer to a further agent is needed.

Abstract: A system and method functions to automatically determine a capability of a consumer electronic device and capabilities of ports of an appliance to which the consumer electronic device is connected. The system and method further detects a port of the appliance to which a consumer electronic device is connected. When it is determined that the consumer electronic device is not connected to a port of the appliance that best supports the determined capability of the consumer electronic device, the system and method will automatically provide a user with instructions, e.g., via use of a speaker and/or a display, by which the user can reconnect the consumer electronic device to another port of the appliance having a determined capability that is better suited to the determined capability of the consumer electronic device.
