    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for automatically navigating a graphical user interface (GUI) of a media device. In embodiments, objects (e.g. selectable items) in device GUI menu screens may be located, identified, and selected by another device (e.g., a switch) using several types of image processing, image recognition, and automated screen navigation techniques. For instance, a device may receive an operation request, for example from a user, receive a video signal from the connected media device, extract a video frame, process the video frame using one or more algorithms, and automatically navigate the GUI of the device by transmitting one more navigation commands for application to the GUI. In this manner, multi-step, time-consuming manual GUI navigation to achieve a desired result may be reduced to an automated technique, allowing users to save time and frustration in navigating a GUI using a remote control to find a particular resource.

    Abstract: HDMI systems, devices, circuits, and apparatuses perform functions to allow extending the number of HDMI inputs for an HDMI device using cascaded HDMI extenders. HDMI extenders are mechanically coupled and decoupled to an HDMI device such as an HDMI switch or sink device. HDMI extenders include HDMI input ports to receive HDMI signals and include connectors to receive and transmit HDMI signals as well as non-HDMI signals for configuration and control of the HDMI extenders. One or more mechanically coupled HDMI extenders are configured by the HDMI device based on information received from HDMI source devices connected to the HDMI extenders and to the HDMI device. The HDMI extenders select between HDMI signals received from their input ports or HDMI signals received from their connectors, and provide the selected HDMI signals to the HDMI device. HDMI extenders are configured to be cascaded in any number to increase HDMI source availability.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for a media cable. The media cable includes a plurality of conductors, a first connector at a first end of the media cable configured to connect to a first device, a second connector at a second end of the media cable configured to connect to a second device, and a detection circuit. The first connector and the second connector each include a respective plurality of terminals coupled to the plurality of conductors. The detection circuit includes detection logic configured to detect at least one of a state or a state change of at least one of the first device, the second device, or the media cable and an indicator configured to generate a notification of the at least one of the state or the state change.

    Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses are described for intelligent device integration. A device (e.g., an HDMI “smart” switch) with multiple communication interfaces (e.g., HDMI, LAN, BT, IR) may monitor communications for control signals from multiple controllers configured to control respective devices (e.g., HDMI source, sink and/or switch devices). A device LAN may couple HDMI source and sink devices and non-HDMI devices. LAN communications may be monitored for device and control information. Control signals from controllers may be used to control devices that the controllers and their control signals are not configured to control. Interpreted control decisions may be based on, for example, an interpreted control in the context of a detected configuration and/or state of devices. A device may, thereby, expand the utility of incompatible controllers (without reprogramming), integrate an environment of incompatible devices and controllers, and provide relief to end-users.
