20140184910 | Methods and Systems for Remote Controller Communication Network - Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for a remote controller communication network. The system may comprise one or more remote controllers communicatively coupled with a plurality of input and/or output devices, including but not limited to one or more display devices, peripheral devices, and/or switches. In some embodiments, a plurality of remote controllers may each be configured for initiating one of a plurality of activities that involve an overlapping subset of communicatively coupled devices. A determination as to whether a communicatively coupled device is available for a requested activity may be achieved through communication of status information between the remote controllers and/or other system devices. | 07-03-2014 |
20140247392 | Systems and Methods for Determining, Storing, and Using Metadata for Video Media Content - Certain embodiments provide methods and systems that link a video recording device and a processing device to enhance video media content development workflow and enable a variety of features. For example, a video camera may send all or a portion of a recorded video to a separate computer that can determine information to be associated with the recorded video. In some embodiments, the computer extracts information from the recorded video to be embedded or otherwise associated with the recorded video as metadata. In some cases, the computer retrieves information from other sources such as Internet websites for association with the recorded video. In some embodiments, the computer sends the information back to the camera where it is associated with the recorded video stored at the camera. In some embodiments, the computer provides the recorded video and information to other locations and parties, for example, to a director remotely overseeing filming. | 09-04-2014 |
20150029399 | SIGNAL TRANSFER APPARATUS - Electronic apparatus includes a cable assembly including a first component video signal input connector which is connected with a first component video signal external connector of a first component video signal external cable to receive a first component video signal; a second component video signal input connector which is connected with a second component video signal external connector of a second component video signal external cable to receive a second component video signal; a third component video signal input connector which is connected with a third component video signal external connector of a third component video signal external cable to receive a third component video signal; a single pin shaped output terminal; and a display including an input terminal which is provided on a rear side of housing and adapted to connect with the single pin shaped output terminal to receive the first, second and third component video signals. | 01-29-2015 |
20150070584 | DISPLAY DEVICE USED AS DEMONSTRATION DEVICE - A demonstration device includes a handheld terminal and a receiving terminal. The handheld terminal includes a mode switch key, and a first micro control unit. The mode switch key can generate a mode switch trigger signal to change from TV signal mode for example, to whiteboard mode. The receiving terminal includes a second micro control unit, and a mode switch executing unit. The second micro control unit can receive the mode switch control signal, and the mode switch executing unit can switch the receiving terminal from TV signal mode to a whiteboard mode according to the mode switch control signal. The receiving terminal draws a picture with lines of particular colors and widths according to movements of the handheld terminal when held in a user's hand. | 03-12-2015 |
20160105626 | Retail demo mode on GPS or IP reverse look up - A device such as a television automatically determines, on initial power up, its geographical location. If the television is determined to be residing in a retail store location it will automatically default to retail mode where picture and audio quality will be set to pre-specified settings conducive to a retail environment where the ambient light and sound levels are not what would typically be found in a residential environment. The invention consists of a software module and a database resident in the television that can determine, from interrogating either a GPS chip set, or obtaining identifying data from an attached wired or wireless network and matching the data to identifying data for retail store locations to determine if the television is located in a retail store. If the location of the television is determined to be in a retail store the television will initialize the video and audio quality for a retail store environment. If the location of the television is determined to not be in a retail store, the television will initialize the video and audio quality for a residential environment. | 04-14-2016 |
