Abstract: A premises networking device includes hardware components including speakers, microphone, infrared sensor, spectrum analyzer and wireless interfaces. A touch screen display presents a user interface that provides information about network conditions and configuration settings and a menu for setting and changing configuration settings. Different versions of the user interface are displayed based on whether a user is in proximity to the device. The user interface includes shapes representing user devices, the visual characteristics of which change based on the current network conditions. A health score, which is an evaluation of network performance based on measurements of aspects of the conditions of the network, is displayed in real time. A network management system includes a network management platform for storing network conditions and configuration information and pushing the information to premises networking devices.

Abstract: Messages on a social networking and/or messaging system, such as Twitter or an email system, are accessed and commands within the messages identified. Television programs indicated by the messages are also identified. From this information, commands to schedule recordings of the television programs are issued to a recording system. This provides an efficient mechanism for users to schedule recordings of programs.
