Abstract: A predictive application cache is described. The predictive application cache intelligently selects which applications to cache to maximize caching effectiveness. In an embodiment, the selecting is based on user input and a graphical user interface. The predictive application cache then determines, based on the user input and the graphical user interface, which applications are likely to be selected by user input next. In an embodiment, the selecting is also based on historical usage information. In an embodiment, the selecting is based on crowd sourced information.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for distributed voice processing. An embodiment operates by receiving audio data from microphones associated with a plurality of devices distributed across an area of interest. A trigger word is detected in the audio data received from at least one of the devices. Responsive to detecting the trigger word, a voice command processing system associated with a multimedia device is activated. Based on the audio data received from at least two or more of the devices, a voice command associated with the multimedia device is determined. The multimedia device is controlled in accordance with the voice command.

Abstract: A streaming media device includes a printed circuit board hosting components configured to access internet data. An audio/visual connector is linked to the printed circuit board, wherein the audio/visual connector is adapted for connection to an audio/visual device, wherein the audio/visual connector is adapted to operate with a first audio/visual interface having sufficient power to fully operate the printed circuit board and a second audio/visual interface having insufficient power to fully operate the printed circuit board. A power connector is linked to the printed circuit board, wherein the power connector selectively receives power based on the audio/visual connector utilizing one of the first audio/visual interface and the second audio/visual interface.

Abstract: A system includes a client device configured to detect an initial play request for a portion of a video stream and detect a subsequent play request for the portion of the video stream. A content server coupled to the client device is configured to transmit the portion of the video stream to the client device based upon the initial play request. A closed captioning information server coupled to the client device is configured to transmit the closed captioning information to the client device based on the initial play request. The client device is configured to display the portion of the video stream and the closed captioning information based upon the subsequent play request.
