    Abstract: Techniques to ensure that a content stream will be encrypted prior to it being served it to the stream receiver if either the stream receiver returned an initial status to the stream caster indicating that only encrypted streams will be accepted or if the user of the stream caster optioned that only encrypted streams will be cast. A stream casting device is capable of locally sourcing and encrypting streams. A content stream server is capable of sourcing encrypted streams and encrypting streams on the fly. A stream receiver device is also described. The system manages key exchanges, encryption, and decryption across the devices serving streams, and stream receiving devices. The casted streams, residing on either a content stream server or on the stream casting devices will be encrypted prior to being served.

    Abstract: A device such as a television automatically determines, on initial power up, its geographical location. If the television is determined to be residing in a retail store location it will automatically default to retail mode where picture and audio quality will be set to pre-specified settings conducive to a retail environment where the ambient light and sound levels are not what would typically be found in a residential environment. The invention consists of a software module and a database resident in the television that can determine, from interrogating either a GPS chip set, or obtaining identifying data from an attached wired or wireless network and matching the data to identifying data for retail store locations to determine if the television is located in a retail store. If the location of the television is determined to be in a retail store the television will initialize the video and audio quality for a retail store environment. If the location of the television is determined to not be in a retail store, the television will initialize the video and audio quality for a residential environment.

    Abstract: An Augmented Reality (AR) device, places manual controls and virtual displays onto a surface of a controllable electronic device (CED) or next to the CED as viewed through the AR device allowing the user to manipulate the controls and view feedback via the virtual displays associated with the controllable device. The AR device overlays an image on a surface of the CED with virtual control objects and virtual feedback image(s) are displayed on a surface of the CED or adjacent to the CED. The user views the control objects and virtual displays on the surface and/or area adjacent to the CED. These control objects are manipulated via voice, hand, head, and eye gestures recognized by the AR device and will be able to see real time feedback displayed on the virtual displays.

    Abstract: A content stream caster can transfer playing of a content stream from the content stream caster to any of a plurality of stream receivers. The content stream caster wirelessly initiates contact with one of a plurality of stream receivers after which the content stream caster must authenticate with the receiver before the receiver permits the receiving of a URL identifying the location of the content source. A content stream caster, communicates with a stream receiver, an authentication software application residing on both devices and wired or wireless connections between the devices and between the devices and the stream source. The content stream caster may present the content stream or send the content source URL to the receiving device. The content stream caster authenticates with the receiver then sends the source content URL to the receiver. The receiver then streams the content from a URL or designated local streams through Tunneled Direct Link Setup (TDLS), Miracast, or other sources and presents the streamed content to the user.

The invention consists of a stream casting device capable of locally sourcing and encrypting streams, a content stream server capable of sourcing encrypted streams and encrypting streams on the fly, a stream receiver device, and software applications and/or hardware devices to manage key exchanges, encryption, and decryption across the devices serving streams, and stream receiving devices. The casted streams, residing on either a content stream server or on the stream casting devices will be encrypted prior to being served. Encrypted streams can be encrypted at the time they are served to the stream receiver or may have been previously encrypted prior to a key exchange between the stream receiver and the device serving the content stream.
