  • Patent number: 11888996
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for provisioning components. For instance, a component may be initially provisioned by a first system. To initially provision the component, the component may receive first data representing a uniform device type, a device identifier, a serial number, and/or a first certificate chain. The component may then store the first data in memory. Additionally, the component may be provisioned using a second system. To provision the component, the component may receive second data representing a product device type, a code, and a second certification chain. The second data received during the second provisioning may be associated with one more capabilities of a device. The component may then store the second data in the memory.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20200183544
    Abstract: An adapter provides a link between a digital media player having a memory on which is stored digital media files, a display device, and a remote control. The adapter receives from the digital media player data which is used to generate a representation of a user interface which is provided to the display device for display. The adapter also receives from the remote control data for use in generating commands for controlling operations of the digital media player whereby a change in state of the digital media player resulting from a performance of an operation caused by the remote control will be reflected in the user interface on the display device.
