摘要： A PVR is selectively granted access to a hard disk drive. The HDD generates a random number, encrypts it with a key known to the PVR, and sends it to the PVR, which decrypts the number and increments it by one to render a new number. The new number is encrypted with the key and sent back to the HDD, which decrypts the new number, decrements it by one, and compares the result to the original number, granting the PVR access only when a match occurs.
摘要翻译：选择性地授予PVR访问硬盘驱动器的权限。 HDD生成一个随机数，用PVR已知的密钥对其进行加密，并将其发送到PVR，该PVR对该数字进行解密，并将其递增1以呈现新的数字。新号码用密钥加密并发送回HDD，解密新号码，将其减1，并将结果与原始号码进行比较，仅在匹配发生时才授予PVR访问权限。

摘要： A television consistent with certain implementations has a display system having a display frame refresh rate R. A frame synchronizer transmitter transmits a signal used to synchronize frame refreshes for a left and right eye images of shutter glasses, where a sequence of left and right eye images to the shutter glasses defines one image cycle. A video processor that alters at least one image per image cycle so that at least one of the images to at least one eye of at least one of the shutter glasses is synchronized to a display frame that has been altered by the video processor. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

摘要： A television receiver device consistent with certain embodiment is controlled by a remote controller has an infrared receiver that receives control signals from the remote controller. An infrared transmitter transmits signals from the television to the remote controller. A processor, upon receipt of a control signal from the remote controller sends a challenge signal to the remote controller in order to obtain a reply from the remote controller. Upon receipt of a reply to the challenge, the processor determines if the reply is correct and if so, executes the command associated with the control signal, wherein if the reply is incorrect, the command is not executed. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

摘要： In accord with embodiments and implementations consistent with the present invention, rather than perform a full scan of every frequency to find a channel, the tuner is programmed to find a reasonable sample of channels. For example, the tuner can search for at least two or three (generalized as N) channels to determine the frequency plan of the channels (by virtue of detection of at least one channel) and then use one of the known plans to directly identify the frequency map. The process can then step quickly through each frequency, without optimizing or fine tuning each channel, to determine the existence of a channel. With this process the number of tunable channels is found quicker and the initial setup time is shortened. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
摘要翻译：根据与本发明一致的实施例和实施例，调谐器被编程以找到合理的频道采样而不是对每个频率进行全扫描以找到频道。例如，调谐器可以搜索至少两个或三个（广义为N个）信道以确定信道的频率计划（通过检测至少一个信道），然后使用已知计划之一来直接识别信道频率图。然后，该过程可以快速地通过每个频率，而不优化或微调每个通道，以确定通道的存在。通过该处理，可以更快地找到可调谐通道的数量，并缩短初始设置时间。该摘要不被认为是限制性的，因为其他实施例可能偏离本摘要中描述的特征。

摘要： A method for identifying video content consistent with certain embodiments involves, selecting a plurality pixels using a pixel selection algorithm, the pixels being selected to provide a repeatable selection of pixels in a selected frame in the video content; establishing a scene signature by: extracting a characteristic of each selected pixel that can be represented in a digital form for each pixel, and generating a digital stream by concatenating the digital form for the extracted characteristic of each pixel; transmitting the scene signature to an identification device for comparison with scene signatures in a database having a plurality of video content items to identify the video content; and receiving either the identification of the video content or an indication that no video content is uniquely identified by the scene signature. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

摘要： A TV has a TV processor and a display presenting a map showing the topology of the home network of which the TV is a part. A user can manipulate the user input device to navigate around the map and cause content to be transmitted from a source component shown in the map to a sink component shown on the map. The map can change the appearance of component icons and/or paths between icons to provide visible indication of advantageous component and/or path selection for executing a user-desired task. Also, map information can be uploaded to an Internet server that can respond by sending back information pertaining to components represented on the map.
