Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method, and/or computer program product embodiments for providing a representation to a connected device. An embodiment operates by recognizing a new device connected to a display device, collecting device fingerprint information from the new device, and requesting a device class representation information determined based on the device fingerprint information. Another embodiment operates by receiving device fingerprint information from a display device via a network connection, wherein the device fingerprint information is collected from a device connected to a display device, and providing device class representation information to the display device via the network connection, when the device class representation information corresponding to the device fingerprint information is available.

Abstract: A system and method for fast starting a channel application is disclosed herein. The method includes: starting one or more applications in suspend mode during a boot up sequence of the operating system; adding the one or more applications to a suspended list; monitoring a plurality of application programming interface (API) calls made from the application layer to one or more graphic rendering modules; and processing the plurality of API calls to the one or more graphic rendering modules based on whether each API call belongs to an application on the suspended list. Fast starting a channel application can also be done in a predictive manner via the search function or based on feeds in a notification area.

Abstract: A system and method for intelligent content searching is disclosed herein. The system saves all searches executed by the user and periodically re-executes one or more of the previously saved searches and display the subsequent search results to the user at an appropriate time without any user intervention. In one aspect, the system periodically re-executes one or more of the previously saved searches upon the occurrence of a trigger event, which may be trending events, news events, type of menus and/or screens accessed, new content being added on one or more service providers, a boot event, passage of time since last search, etc. In this way, users do not need to set alert or follow any search topic.
