  • Systems and methods for detecting and responding to user frustration with electronic devices
    Patent number: 11119584
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a user frustration monitoring and control system may be part of or otherwise be operably coupled to a device to detect and respond to user frustration with the device or with other components in communication with the device. A user frustration monitoring and control system may detect when, out of frustration, a user jars or hits a set-top box or other device in communication with the set-top box, such as a remote-control device or monitor, and will perform an action to address the detected user frustration. This action may be, for example, performing a diagnostic action and/or communicating a helpful message or instructions to the user.

  • Predicting end of battery life for a remote controller device
    Patent number: 9369656
    Abstract: A remote control is powered by multiple batteries connected in series. The remote control includes a voltage comparison circuit configured to compare a midpoint voltage from a node connecting two of the batteries to a reference voltage. The remote control is able to determine if there is a non-uniform drain rate in the batteries based on the comparison.
