摘要:
An interface controller may control the way a function is presented for selection by a user interface in an electronic device. The interface controller may include a usage detection system configured to detect the way in which the electronic device is being or has been used. The interface controller may also include a presentation controller configured to automatically change the way in which the function is presented for selection by the user interface based on the way in which the usage detection system detects the electronic device is being or has been used.

摘要:
A system may include a set-top box, associated with a customer premises, configured to receive a television signal and provide the television signal to a television and a home monitoring device configured to obtain a weather forecast for a geographic area associated with the customer premises, determine a thermostat setting for the customer premises based on the obtained weather forecast, and provide a recommendation about the determined thermostat setting to the set-top box. The set-top box may be further configured to present the recommendation about the determined thermostat setting via the television; receive a selection of the determined thermostat setting; and provide an indication of the selection to the home monitoring device; and the home monitoring device may be further configured to apply the determined thermostat setting to a thermostat controller associated with the customer premises, in response to receiving the indication from the set-top box.

A system may include a set-top box configured to receive a television signal and provide the television signal to a media playing device, and a home monitoring device configured to obtain a video recording using a security camera, provide the video recording to a media manager device across a network, and provide information about the video recording to the set-top box. The set-top box may be further configured to provide the information about the video recording upon activation of the set-top box by a customer, receive a request to view the video recording from the customer, retrieve the video recording from the media manager device, and provide the video recording to a media playing device.

摘要:
An energy management device receives a first user-specified energy consumption limit associated with a first device, and receives a second user-specified energy consumption limit associated with a second device. The energy management device receives a first energy consumption report associated with the first device, and receives a second energy consumption report associated with the second device. The energy management device selectively switches off, or performs a graduated reduction of power consumption of, the first or second devices based on the received first and second energy consumption reports. The first and second devices include appliances resident in a household or business and the energy management device connects to each of the first and second devices via a network or link.
