Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for presentation of display device notifications and key handling. The notifications are visually appealing, employing a common theme and user interface. The notifications are less-intrusive, such that the user experience is improved. The notifications can provide additional information, function as links to destinations, and give the user multiple options, from which the user can make a selection. Actions taken by a user can be controlled and monitored to optimize user interaction with the notifications. By providing display device notifications to a user, the user is able to process important information on a display device in an improved way.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to electronic devices, processes and systems for configuration and operation of a digital television. In one embodiment, a method for digital television operation includes detecting a command to power up the digital television, running a boot process for the digital television in response to the command, and performing a scan of a first set of applications of the digital television during the boot process. The method also includes presenting a display output at completion of the boot process, and performing a scan of a second set of applications of the digital television following presentation of the display output. Another embodiment is directed to a digital television configured to run a boot process including a scan of a first set of applications, and scan of a second set of applications following presentation of the display output.

Abstract: An Intelligent TV having a silo manager, a panel manager and a panel controller. The various managers and controllers managing a global panel and an application panel. The global panel includes various types of information and the various types of input and content available. The global panel includes various information including, for example, Live TV information, on demand information, media center information, application information, HDMI 1 information, HDMI 2 information, HDMI 3 information, component 1 information, component 2 information, AV 1 information, AV 2 information, VGA information, as well as an option to hide undetected inputs. The application panel is dynamic and can optionally change based on one or more of context and content of the underlying application being viewed. The application panel can include various subcategories of information, with the number and type of the subcategories also capable of being dynamic based on the underlying context or content.

Abstract: An intelligent television and methods for user interaction between the intelligent television and the user are provided. In general, a user is provided with navigation, notification, and setup options which enable one or more functions associated with the intelligent television. The presentation of options is based on input received by the intelligent television. As a user provides input to the intelligent television via a remote control or other input device, the intelligent television is configured to interpret the input and provide interactive functionality in the form of content presented to the display of the intelligent television.

Abstract: A multi-threaded, multi process distributed system including remote call procedure (RPC) messages. The threads in the distributed system are each associated with a queue. The RPC messages each include an identifier to identify the queue which is associated with the thread which has originated the RPC message, as well as an identifier indicating the connection over which the RPC message is communicated from one process to another. The connection over which RPC requests are forwarded in the distributed system is made between one process and another process. The RPC messages sent between processes utilise the same connection, independent of which thread in each process is sending or receiving the messages. RPC messages are forwarded through the distributed system and the connection and queue identifiers in the RPC messages are updated as the message is forwarded from process to process in the distributed system.
