Abstract: A system for exchanging a number of local area messages includes a processor, system memory, a network interface card, and a non-transitory storage medium that are communicatively coupled. The non-transitory storage medium includes a first receiving subcomponent, a first sending subcomponent, a second receiving subcomponent, a second sending subcomponent, and a controlling subcomponent. The first receiving subcomponent receiving a first message from a first video device. The first sending subcomponent sends the first message to a second video device. The second receiving subcomponent receives a second message from the second video device. The second sending subcomponent sends the second message to the first video device. The controlling subcomponent controls the communication of the first message and the second message to monitor the identity of the user of the first video device and the second video device.

Abstract: An apparatus for managing network enabled devices including a processor, a number of network interfaces, communicatively connected to the processor and a non-transitory storage medium. The modules include a broadcast content obtain module, an other media obtain module, a content aggregate module, an aggregated content send module, a command receive module, and an instruction send module. The broadcast content obtain module obtains broadcast television content. The other media obtain module obtains other media content over the network communication. The content aggregate module aggregates the broadcast television content and the other media content into aggregated content. The aggregated content send module sends the aggregated content over the network interface for presentation at a graphical user interface. The command receive module receives a command through the network interface.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing customized viewing includes, a processor, system memory. The system memory includes a number of modules. The modules include a first receive module, a second receive module, a first link formulating module, a second link formulating module, a selection receive module, a content aggregate module, and an aggregate send module. The first receive module receiving a first media content from an antenna for over-the-air signals or other live broadcast signals. The second receive module receiving second media content using a network interface card. The first link formulating module formulating a first link for the first media content. The second link formulating module formulating formulate a second link for the second media content. The aggregate module aggregating the first link and the second link in a hybrid channel guide. The send module sending the hybrid channel guide to a device for presentation at a graphical user interface at the device.

Abstract: A computer system including a processor, a system memory, a non-transitory storage medium having modules such as a broadcast obtain module, an other media obtain module, a content aggregate module, an aggregated content send module, a context determine module, a formulate overlay module, and an overlay send module. The system may have a Wi-Fi router. The context determine module may determine a function or access services. The context determine module may access a calendar item for a user. The formulate overlay module may overlay data based on a calendar item. The formulate overlay module may overlay data relevant to aggregated content. A social media access module accessing a number of relevant services and a notice module providing notice to a user may be included. The notice module may identify the notice by using a date, a time, and a location of the computer system.
