摘要： A TV-set is equipped with HDMI and USB connections that allow it to display and run audio-video content from a variety of conventional consumer devices. The TV-set is further equipped to provide a secure HDMI-USB interface that will allow the transfer of licensed high definition content and Internet subscriber services. Such secure HDMI-USB interface also enables a selection of proprietary application modules to be attached. Downloadable user interface templates, much like XML style sheets, are rendered to a user interface displayed on the screen. These are associated with corresponding thumbnails and URI's that allow a user to surf through lists and catalogs of materials, and then to play them in the appropriate formats and provide the machine with a customized controller. A remote commander is simplified, yet expanded to control all the attached devices through interactions with the user interface. The functions of the remote commander's keys change depending on where the user is navigating and what device is being controlled, similar to so-called soft-keys.

摘要： A method and apparatus is provided for inputting user-selected settings to a second consumer electronic device. The method begins by establishing a first communication path between a first consumer electronic device and the second consumer electronic device. The first communication path is configured to transfer content to be rendered by at least one of the devices. The first device is queried over the first communication path to identify user-selected settings established in the first device that are applicable to the second device. In response to the query, the applicable user-selected settings are transferred over the first communication path from the first device to the second device. The transferred applicable user-selected settings are stored in respective fields of a settings database associated with the second device.

摘要： An external module for use with a host television device consistent with certain embodiments wherein the host television device receives at least one content service has a connector for attaching to the module. Java™ code is received from the content service being received by the host television device over the connector. An application execution engine residing on the external module carries out execution of the Java™ code. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
