Abstract: A method of processing a boot sequence for a processor forming a part of a module apparatus involves interrogating a host television device to determine if the host television device requires use of an application execution engine residing on the module apparatus; receiving a reply to the interrogation; and responsive to the reply, establishing a mode of operation wherein the application execution engine is used to execute application code for the host television device. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

Abstract: An apparatus for facilitating use of OCAP (OpenCable™ Applications Platform) standard in a host cable television device, the host cable television device having a connector consistent with certain embodiments has a removable module. An OCAP engine resides on the removable module suitable for execution of Java™ code as specified by the OCAP specification. A module side connector is affixed to the removable module, the connector being suitable for mating with the connector of the host device. The module side connector has connections suitable for carrying graphics video data from the OCAP engine to the host device suitable presentation to a video display. The module side connector further has connections suitable for carrying Java™ code instructions to the OCAP engine for execution. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

Abstract translation: 一种用于在主机有线电视设备中促进使用OCAP（OpenCable TM应用平台）标准的设备，具有与某些实施例一致的连接器的主机有线电视设备具有可移除模块。 OCAP引擎驻留在适用于执行由OCAP规范指定的Java（TM）代码的可移动模块上。 模块侧连接器固定到可移除模块，该连接器适于与主机设备的连接器配合。 模块侧连接器具有适于将图形视频数据从OCAP引擎传送到主机设备的适合呈现到视频显示器的连接。 模块侧连接器还具有适于向OCAP引擎携带Java（TM）代码指令以进行执行的连接。 该摘要不被认为是限制性的，因为其他实施例可能偏离本摘要中描述的特征。

Abstract: A system and method for allowing a viewer to easily program a remote control device with the parameters of various home entertainment components such as TVs, VCRs, DVDs, etc. A removable media is inserted into each component, with the remote control parameters or model identification of the component being downloaded to the media. The media is then removed from the component and inserted into the remote control device, which uploads the model data or control parameters so that the remote control device can be used to control the component without requiring a person to manually set or configure, for each component, the “universal” master remote.
