Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, computer-implemented method, and/or computer-program product (computer-readable non-transitory storage medium) embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for an environmentally aware remote control. An example embodiment operates by at least one processor detecting a first signal and a second signal and receiving information corresponding to at least a physical position where a user is located relative to at least the first physical source. The at least one processor may further operate by calculating a time difference between a given sample of the first signal and a corresponding sample of a second signal at the physical position where the user is located, and adjusting a relative timing of the first signal with respect to the second signal. In some further embodiments, the at least one processor may adjust other attributes of either signal besides timing, e.g., audio characteristics such as volume, pitch, other filtering, etc.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for reducing the temperature of a peripheral device to a computing device. A controller can generate a control signal to operate a cooling subsystem to generate an air flow and distribute the air flow over the peripheral device. The controller can receive an indication signal from the peripheral device, generate the control signal based on the received indication signal, and control the cooling subsystem by the control signal to distribute the air flow to a cooling space including the peripheral device and a portion of the computing device including the communication interface. The computing device can further include a sensor configured to sense a temperature within the cooling space, where the controller can be configured to generate the control signal based on the temperature sensed by the sensor.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for switching the output of an overriding multimedia device from a first input to a second input or a combination of the first input and the second input. An example embodiment operates by receiving data relating to a multimedia switching event. The example embodiment further operates by determining that the data corresponds to a multimedia switching action. In response, the example embodiment operates by generating a multimedia switching actuation signal that instructs an overriding multimedia device to switch its output from the first multimedia signal to the second multimedia signal. Subsequently, the example embodiment operates by transmitting the multimedia switching actuation signal to the overriding multimedia device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for upgrading one or more display device hardware components. In one embodiment, as new television hardware components become available, the technology described herein allows replacement of original hardware components by external hardware components implemented as an add-in card, stick or equivalent circuitry and operational instructions. In some embodiments, the technology described herein may implement an application programming interface (API) that exposes hardware of a new external device communicatively coupled to the display device (e.g., television) to take control of one or more components of an existing internal system. Various interface technologies, such as HDMI and USB, may be used to connect the external hardware to the internal systems.
