Abstract: Method for generating haptic feedback responses starts with processor causing communication interface for communication session to be displayed on first user interface and on a second user interface. Processor detects first touch input on first user interface and second touch input on second user interface. Processor monitors location of the first touch input on the first user interface and location of the second touch input on the second user interface. Processor determines distance between location of first touch input on first user interface and location on first user interface corresponding to location of second touch input on second user interface. Processor causes the first user interface and the second user interface to generate a haptic feedback response based on the distance. The haptic feedback response increases in intensity or speed as the distance decreases and decreases in intensity or speed as the distance increases. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: Systems, devices and processes are provided to facilitate the delivery of video content in a video streaming system. Specifically, the various embodiments can provide improved responsiveness by reducing the delay that occurs between when a user acts to initiate video streaming and when the video content is transmitted, received and displayed on a display screen. In general, these embodiments reduce delay by preloading video streaming content in response to detecting particular patterns of movement of a remote control. Specifically, these embodiments monitor for movement of the remote control and determining if a detected movement corresponds to a likely initiation of video streaming. When such movements are detected, the embodiments begin preloading the video streaming content at the video player device.

Abstract: Methods for a soft universal remote (SUR) controller are performed by systems and apparatuses. Audio/visual (A/V) devices may be controlled by hardware remote controllers that are not configured to control other devices of an audio/visual system. A SUR controller implemented by an A/V device provides consumable control signals to such other devices based on control signals from the A/V device remote controller. A SUR controller determines another device for which a received control function is directed, and transmits a generated consumable control signal for the control function of the received control signal to the other device. User interfaces are provided by SUR controllers for the configuration of SUR controllers and remote controllers, and for control of other A/V devices via the user interfaces.
