Abstract: Apparatus, system and method for promoting media apps to an end user of a smart device. The smart device gathers information of apps that have been installed into the smart device and provides this information to a remote server. The remote server compares the information sent by the smart device to an identification of promoted apps received from a remote source to identify apps that are not installed in the smart device that are included in the identification of promoted apps. The remote server then notifies the smart device of which apps in the identification of promoted apps are not installed into the smart device, so that a user of the smart device may choose to have the missing app installed.

Abstract: A system and method used to displaying advertising content. A first app installed on a first device functions to retrieve the advertising content and to then provide the advertising content to a second app installed on a second device. The second app installed on the second device will cause the advertising content to be displayed as an overlay in a display associated with the second device.

Abstract: A controlling device is automatically configured to issue a communication directly to a first controllable appliance to control a functional operation of the first controllable appliance in the event that the first controllable appliance is determined to be unresponsive to a command communication transmitted to the first controllable appliance via a digital communications link or to issue a communication to a second controllable appliance to control the functional operation of the first controllable appliance via a digital communications link in the event that first controllable appliance is determined to be responsive to a command communication transmitted to the first controllable appliance via a digital communications link.

Abstract: A hand-held device has a housing having a top surface and a bottom surface, a transmitter, a first user interface associated with the top surface of the housing having first user interface input elements which, when active, are actuatable to cause the transmitter to transmit communications to an external device, and a second user interface associated with the bottom surface of the housing having second user interface input elements which, when active, are actuatable to cause the transmitter to transmit communications to an external device. The hand-held device is programmed to selectively make one of the first user interface input elements of the first user interface and the second user interface input elements of the second user interface active while making the other of the first user interface input elements of the first user interface and the second user interface input elements of the second user interface inactive.

Abstract: A user interface of a hand-held device is provided with a widget which is activatable to cause the hand-held device to perform at least one action. The widget is created by a user selecting programming blocks from a library of pre-defined programming blocks where each programming block is graphically represented as a processing unit with at least one of an input and an output. User input is then provided to graphically interconnect selected ones of the inputs and outputs of the pre-defined, user selected programming blocks to thereby define the at least one action that is to be performed upon activation of the widget.

Abstract: A system and method functions to make an app as installed on a smart device usable to access a service, such as a media streaming service. A presence of a counterpart to the app as installed on an appliance within a home network which includes the smart device is detected. A user credential, such as a username and password combination, that is associated with the counterpart to the app is then identified. The user credential is caused to be automatically associated with the app as installed on the smart device.

Abstract: Contextual information for an ecosystem that includes a consumer electronic device is used by a virtual agent to speed up the process by which the virtual agent provides technical support related to the consumer electronic device. The contextual information is used to reduce the amount of information the virtual agent requires from the consumer. Whilst collecting information from the consumer, the virtual agent also functions to determines if a hand-off of the consumer to a further agent is needed.

Abstract: A system and method functions to automatically determine a capability of a consumer electronic device and capabilities of ports of an appliance to which the consumer electronic device is connected. The system and method further detects a port of the appliance to which a consumer electronic device is connected. When it is determined that the consumer electronic device is not connected to a port of the appliance that best supports the determined capability of the consumer electronic device, the system and method will automatically provide a user with instructions, e.g., via use of a speaker and/or a display, by which the user can reconnect the consumer electronic device to another port of the appliance having a determined capability that is better suited to the determined capability of the consumer electronic device.

Abstract: In response to a detected presence of an intended target appliance within a logical topography of controllable appliances identity information associated with the intended target appliance is used to automatically add to a graphical user interface of a controlling device an icon representative of the intended target appliance and to create at a Universal Control Engine a listing of communication methods for use in controlling corresponding functional operations of the intended target appliance. When the icon is later activated, the controlling device is placed into an operating state appropriate for controlling functional operations of the intended target appliance while the Universal Control Engine uses at least one of the communication methods to transmit at least one command to place the intended target appliance into a predetermined operating state.
