    摘要: A modular interface allows new functionalities to be added to a television receiver. A module can be added to the television receiver through the interface that will enable additional functionalities on the television. The interface allows copy protection of digital video and audio content by incorporating HDCP technology, thereby also allowing the manufacturer of the interface to control the access to the interface.

    摘要: A High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) switch includes a plurality of peripheral device ports, each of which may be coupled to a corresponding peripheral device. The switch also includes a display device port for coupling to a display device. In one embodiment, the switch is configured to receive device identification information from one or more of the peripheral devices coupled to the peripheral device ports and to detect which of the peripheral device ports is an active port. The switch may then transmit the device identification information for the peripheral device coupled to the active port to a display device in accordance with an HDMI communication protocol, such as the consumer electronic control (CEC) protocol. In one embodiment, the peripheral device coupled to the active port is not configured to communicate according to the HDMI communication protocol.

    摘要: The system includes a sensor for each junction box in the building to be guarded, e.g., the residence, and a display panel showing the temperature of any junction box that is heated above the danger point. Another display panel shows the name of the resident and address of the residence, and the location of the heated junction box by room number and junction box number and the shape of the junction box. A plurality of residences are connected with a central station, such as a fire station, by a single telephone line to each residence. A single processing unit is located in each residence, and a single such unit is located in the central display station. A display panel is located in the central station identical with each display in a residence. The central station is provided with a single processing unit responsive to actuating of any and each of the processing units in the residences, the central station having a modem operable for receiving signals from the processing units in the units and processing them according to the respective processing units in the residences. The system also includes rotating extinguisher heads which rotate towards the source of any dangerous heat an extinguish the fire.

    摘要: A videoconferencing method consistent with certain embodiments involves receiving a video stream via a broadband network connection at a television display to display a remote party's inbound video information. A video stream is transmitted via a wireless cellular telephone's camera to the remote party to provide outbound video information. Inbound audio is received from the remote party via the broadband network connection at the television display and playing the audio using the television display's audio circuits. Outbound audio is transmitted to the remote party via the wireless cellular telephone's audio circuits. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
