    Abstract: A method for switching channels of communication between a host or media device and a peripheral device includes steps for detecting a trigger condition for performing a channel switch operation of a currently selected channel. The currently selected channel may be one of a plurality of channels that can be used by the media device to communicate with the peripheral device. For example, the host device may select a predefined channel (e.g., for a hard-coded channel selection) or a candidate channel (e.g., for a dynamic channel selection) from the plurality of channels. The host device may determine whether it is configured for performing a dynamic channel switch based on channel scores associated with channels in the plurality of channels.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for detecting human presence in front of a plurality of sensors, such as speaker sensors, and a device with a processor, such as a television. An example method includes varying, during a collection routine, a respective signal strength of one or more of a plurality of transmitters. The example method further includes receiving results of the collection routine in a form of raw data from a plurality of sensors. The example method further includes determining, by at least one processor, a respective geographical position of one or more humans present within a predetermined geographical range of the at least one processor based on the raw data from the plurality of sensors. Subsequently, the example method includes executing an action based on the respective geographical position of the one or more humans.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for a media device operating on a first network that can detect and switch media service to a second network to maintain access of a desired service quality. The media device can cause a presentation of the recommended second network, and receive a selection (e.g., user input) of the second network before the switch. The recommendation can be user-initiated or occur while accessing service without user initiation. The recommendation of the second network can be based on: a signal quality of the second network and/or the capabilities of the device providing the second network; a correlation of characteristics that indicate that stored credentials of a first network can be reused in another network; a security level of the first network; and/or platform capabilities of the media device.

    Abstract: Many customers have difficulty setting up a new extender device in the customer premises environment to improve their multimedia service. Some embodiments include configuring an extender device based on existing WiFi network credentials to minimize errors. Some embodiments include an application for mobile devices that may enable the transfer of network credentials from existing multimedia devices on the WiFi network to configure a new extender device in real time. For example, the configuration may be based on a customer account, a corresponding environment, and corresponding multimedia devices associated with the customer account. The extender device may be configured with the network credentials (e.g., a WiFi service set identifier (SSID) and password) that is common to the corresponding multimedia devices associated with the customer account.
