    Abstract: A unique code per pairing of each remote control to each controlled device (such as a TV or other media device) is used in infrared (IR) commands sent by the remote control for the device to detect if the remote control has been moved to a different room. The remote control supports both IR and short range wireless radio (e.g., Bluetooth®) commands. Both IR and Bluetooth® commands are sent on every key press of the remote control unit. When the IR command is received by the device, the device will check if the unique code is from a remote control unit currently paired to the device. If the unique code is not from a remote control unit currently paired to the device, the device will initiate pairing with the remote control unit and execute the command.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for improving satellite broadcasting services by enhancing set-top box (STB) signal reception during weather conditions that obstruct the transmission of RF signals from one or more satellites to a receiving antenna (e.g., a dish antenna) are described. To prevent loss of satellite broadcasting services, an enhanced STB signal system may be arranged between the receiving antenna and an STB in order to provide an enhanced signal to the STB in the event that the RF signals received by the receiving antenna are not able to be decoded. The enhanced STB signal system may transmit an enhanced signal to the STB instead of a signal that was only derived from the receiving antenna. The enhanced signal may comprise a combination of signals that derive from other receiving antennas different from the receiving antenna, as well as the signal derived from the receiving antenna.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for monitoring an environment around a cell site. In one example, a method includes: selecting a location within a predetermined range around a cell site, the cell site having a transmitter configured to transmit a wireless signal to the selected location along a line of sight (LOS) therebetween; scanning, using a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor in proximity to the cell site, an environment around the cell site to identify an obstacle between the cell site and the selected location; determining, based on the scanning, a degree of obstruction of the obstacle to a path of the LOS; and responsive to determining that the degree of obstruction exceeds a threshold level, altering an operational parameter of the cell site.

    Abstract: A method for operating a television service provider system is disclosed. The method comprises: receiving, by a television service provider system, information indicative of a scene from a television receiver disposed in a user premises; identifying, by the television service provider system, a content item based on the information indicative of the scene; transmitting, by the television service provider system, the content item to the television receiver; receiving, by the television service provider system, an effectiveness score associated with the content item and the scene; and updating, by the television service provider system, metadata associated with the content item based on the effectiveness score.
