  • Patent number: 11102543
    Abstract: A multi-window user interface (UI) on a control device such as a tablet computer communicates commands to a display controller, which may be implemented by a game console. The controller controls presentation on a large screen display according to the commands. The control device may always present a multi-window UI which the control device can command to have mimicked on the display, with the UI also being configured to cause a single video to be presented whole screen on the display while the multi-window UI remains presented on the control device. The video feeds that populate the multi-window UI are of the same content but of lower resolution than those which are presented on the display. A movable window on the control device can be dragged and dropped to cause a corresponding magnifying focus on the display over the corresponding portion of video in focus on the control device.

  • Patent number: 10809889
    Abstract: Indicators such as visible icons or other objects are presented on a display, with each indicator being associated with a respective profile that defines interactive events for which notifications are desired. Broadcast video is presented along with the indicators, and when an interactive event signal is received, if a profile indicates that a notification for that type of event is desired, the associated indicator is altered in appearance, e.g., by changing color, or motion, or other technique. If a profile does not indicate that the type of event should be notified, the corresponding indicator is not altered in appearance, e.g., can remain grayed out yet still visible.
