    摘要: A method of registering a device with a wireless home entertainment hub in a home entertainment system includes broadcasting by a wireless home entertainment hub a request for a reply from at least one unregistered device. The reply is received from at least one of the unregistered devices and a list of the at least one unregistered device is presented to a user for the purpose of the user selecting a device to register. An indication of the registration of the device selected by the user for registration is stored, and the selected device is removed from the list of unregistered devices after the indication of the registration is stored.

    摘要: A method of registering source devices and sink devices with a wireless home entertainment hub in a home entertainment system includes activating a first registration actuator associated with the wireless home entertainment hub and activating a second registration actuator associated with a first source device in the home entertainment system. The activation of the second registration actuator causes an indication of the registration of the first source device with the wireless home entertainment hub to be stored in the wireless home entertainment hub and the first source device. A designation for a first sink device in the home entertainment system is selected and the first registration actuator is activated. A third registration actuator is activated, such that the third registration actuator causes an indication of the registration of the selected sink device with the wireless home entertainment hub to be stored in the wireless home entertainment hub and the selected sink device. Data is transmitted from one of the registered source devices to one of the registered sink devices.

    摘要: A system and method are described for using the video switching capabilities of a first video switching device to select one of a plurality of distinguishable probe signals. The selected probe signal is detected and a corresponding control signal for a second video switching device is generated. In one embodiment of the present invention, the analog video switching capabilities of an audio-video receiver are used to select one of the probe signals. Said embodiment then detects which probe signal was passed, generates an appropriate control signal, and transmits it to a device capable of switching both analog and digital video, like a digital television or a DVI-or HDMI-capable switcher.

    摘要: A method of managing a power state of devices in a home entertainment system using a wireless home entertainment hub comprises obtaining a registration of a plurality of devices, where the plurality of devices includes at least one sink device and at least one source device. A selection of one of the source devices is received for presentation of program content to a user in the home entertainment system. A subset of the at least one sink device is determined for presentation of the program content to the user based on the selection of the source device. Each sink device in the subset of the at least one sink device is ensured to be active.

    摘要: A method for controlling presentation of data through a wireless home entertainment hub in a home entertainment system includes obtaining a registration for one or more source devices and for one or more sink devices. An indication is received at the wireless home entertainment hub that at least one of the source devices has become active. An instruction is transmitted to the sink devices to receive data from the at least one active source device. An indication is transmitted to at least one active source device that at least one of the sink devices is ready to receive data.
