Abstract: Coordinating processing of audio queries is provided. A system receives a query. The system provides the query to a first digital assistant component and a second digital assistant component for processing. The system receives a first response to the query from the first digital assistant component, and a second response to the query from the second digital assistant component. The first digital assistant component can be authorized to access a database the second digital assistant component is prohibited from accessing. The system determines, based on a ranking decision function, to select the second response to the query from the second digital assistant component. The system provides, responsive to the selection, the second response from the second digital assistant to a computing device.

Abstract: A method of displaying a home menu interface on a content viewing device, such as a television, is described. The interface is comprised of two components: a launcher and an accelerator. Each of these components include multiple tiles. One type of launcher tile represents a content source. The user can select this tile and enable a direct link to the content source application. Only after selecting the tile, does the content source application open. An accelerator is associated with a specific content source. An accelerator tile displays content previews or enables easy playback of content provided by the content source. The user can select an accelerator tile and enable a deep link to the content, taking the user straight to the content, bypassing a hierarchy of menu options.

Abstract: An computing system includes: a communication unit configured to receive a discovery request, including a client presence factor, having a scan pattern for discovering a target device; a control unit, coupled to the communication unit, configured to: determine a target device coordinate based on the discovery request for identifying a client device relative to the target device, determine a device connectivity based on the target device coordinate, the client presence factor, or a combination thereof for establishing a backhaul communication between the client device and the target device, and a user interface, coupled to the control unit, configured to present a device information based on a trust level for displaying the device information of the client device having the device connectivity of connected with the target device.

Abstract: An integrated gaming and media experience is disclosed, including television viewing on a gaming console. A client component is installed via a bootstrap process that uses authentication information to accomplish this task. Once installed, it integrates itself into a typical gaming display. Various console hardware details are used to enable communication between the client component and downstream servers providing the content. Once up and running, the client component allows users to watch television as if they were interacting with a set-top box. Users may switch between various applications on the gaming console, including but not limited to game titles, DVR, VOD, DVD programs, and so on.

Abstract: An computing system includes: a storage unit including a memory configured to store a device interface; and a control unit including a processor, coupled to the storage unit, configured to: determine a communication frequency based on a discovery communication for identifying a target device, determine a channel type based on the communication frequency for establishing a backhaul communication to the target device, and determine the device interface to be displayed based on the channel type for controlling the target device for displaying on a client device.

Abstract: An integrated gaming and media experience is disclosed, including recording of content on a gaming console. A digital video recorder (DVR) application running alongside a television client component allows users to record media content on the gaming console. The DVR application also integrates itself with the console menu. Once integrated, users can record media content while playing games. Alternatively, users can record content when the gaming console is turned off. The recorded content can include television programming, gaming experience (whether local or online), music, DVDs, and so on. When in the recording state, users can also switch between various other media modes, whether gaming, television, and so on.
