Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for maintaining a temperature of an audio device during playback of audio content without audio interference. An embodiment operates by receiving a data stream comprising audio content for playback. The audio device determines a volume level of the audio content using the data stream. The audio device then controls a cooling device based on the volume level compared to a threshold value. This reduces the amount of time the cooling device is turned on during playback of the audio content. This reduces audio interference, improves the user playback experience, and prevents overheating of the audio device which improves reliability and reduces audio device failure rate.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for controlling a media device and a display device using audio commands. In so doing, some embodiments operate to suppress noise from the display device, and enhance audio commands from users. Some embodiments operate by determining a position of the display device and de-enhancing audio from the display device based on the display device position. The position of the user is determined, and audio from the user based on the user position is enhanced. Then, a command in the enhanced user audio is identified, and the media device and/or the display device are caused to operate according to the command.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for establishing a communication link between a battery-powered device and a WAP to reduce the power consumption burden of the battery-powered device. In an embodiment, a communication context of the battery-powered device and the WAP is determined, for example, by determining whether there is at least one intermediate device having a wired power source via which the battery-powered device can communicate with the WAP. A communication scheme of a plurality of different communication schemes is selected, for example, by selecting the communication scheme of the plurality of different communication schemes that imposes the lowest power consumption burden on the battery-powered device and is also supported by the communication context. At least one of the battery-powered device or the WAP is configured for communication therebetween using the selected communication scheme.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for providing over-the-air (OTA) content to electronic devices. Some embodiments operate by automatically providing program listings of OTA content to the electronic devices, wherein the program listings are displayed in user interfaces of the electronic devices; receiving a user selection of particular OTA content from one of the electronic devices; receiving electronic signals containing OTA content from an antenna; processing, using a tuner, the received electronic signals to extract the particular OTA content therefrom; and transmitting the extracted OTA content to the electronic device for playback. In some embodiments, the extracted OTA content is stored in storage of said the electronic device for future on-demand playback to the user.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for determining time and content restrictions based user identification. An embodiment operates by automatically identifying a user who is using a media device using at least one of a network-oriented method of user discovery and an user-action oriented method of user discovery. Preferences, including at least one of a time limit or content restriction, associated with the identified user are accessed. The accessed restriction is enforced against the identified user.
