摘要:
A system and method for renewing the ability of a component to play digital content. A timer is established, and before the elapse of the timer the component is engaged with a battery charging cradle. By virtue of the component being engaged with the cradle, the timer is reset.

In response to a channel change command in a home network, to reduce latency a real time network bandwidth determination is made and if the determination indicates that bandwidth is sufficient to support only I-frame transmission, then only I-frames are sent temporarily from the source to the sink. Otherwise, I and P frames only are sent and may be encoded at a faster than normal frame rate and displayed at a lower than normal frame rate. If the sink is not configured for non-standard groups of pictures (GOP) some of the P frames can be indicated to the sink as being B-frames.

Metadata defining an on-screen display (OSD) including text and/or symbols is embedded in a demonstration video for play on a TV in a retail outlet. The metadata is executed by the TV to overlay the OSD on the demonstration video to identify various advantages provided by the TV.
摘要:
A mobile telephone docking station that makes use of a TV as a display and that allows use of a standard keyboard and mouse to have a faster, more comfortable means to control the phone. Access to all of the cell phone's functions is allowed through the docking station/TV.
摘要:
Herein, a display device, system and method are described for identifying digital content through comparison of one or more audio thumbnails when the digital content is provided without metadata. According to one embodiment, a display device comprises a display, audio conversion logic and a transceiver. The audio conversion logic is adapted to produce one or more audio thumbnails, which are compact representations of a snippet of audio from that incoming digital content without the metadata. The transceiver is adapted to transmit the one or more audio thumbnails in order to (i) retrieve metadata associated with the digital content from an external source separate from a source of the digital content and (ii) display information provided by the metadata on the display.
摘要:
A computer dock communicates with a TV over a HDMI link and a USB and/or Ethernet link. The dock can include a keyboard and mouse and the user can select whether the keyboard/mouse signals are sent to the computer or the TV. The input devices of the computer in the dock and/or the input devices of the dock can be used to provide navigation input to the TV to navigate around user interfaces such as a cross-media bar (XMB).

The brightness of a bed-mounted projector that projects images on a wall or ceiling is established in proportion to the ambient light level in the room. A motion detector can be used to operate room lights in the room only at user-defined times. Keystone correction of the image can be made based on the projection angle as sensed by an orientation sensor. An input strip on the headboard centerline can be used as a control input device.

Intuitive visualization of a home network is provided by providing on screen images of devices in the network around an image of the TV, and by establishing sizes, motion, and other visualization features of the images to reflect selections, bandwidths, different sub-networks, etc.
