Publication number: 20250069360Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for loading one or more machine learning models into a camera system to detect features of a video stream. An example embodiment operates by downloading a machine learning model from an application exchange service. The machine learning model may be pre-trained prior to loading and/or be trained to identify particular features. The camera system may install and/or retrain loaded machine learning models using captured images and/or user inputs. The camera system may also detect an unknown feature and obtain a classification label from an external system. Upon detecting a feature and/or an unknown feature, the camera system may transmit a camera detection notification to a user device and/or allow the user device to view the video stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2023Publication date: February 27, 2025Inventors: Gregory GARNER, SOREN RIISE, PATRICK BROUILLETTE, SUNIL RAMESH, DAVID STERN, CARL SASSENRATH, MICHAEL CUTTER

Publication number: 20240219985Abstract: Streaming content using a data streaming device having limited power is described. A data streaming device receives streaming content from a network and provides the streaming content for display on a content display device. Data streaming device includes power supplies that receive power from the content display device. The power supplies use the power to operate components of data streaming device that process the streaming content. A measuring module measures the power provided to the data streaming device. When the power is insufficient, a controller generates an indication that there is insufficient power to operate the components of the data streaming device. The controller may also modify functionality of the components to operate using available power or disable a component of the data streaming device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2024Publication date: July 4, 2024Applicant: Roku, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Garner, Anthony Wood, Simon Martin, David Stern, Neil Edward Johnson

Publication number: 20240170837Abstract: The present disclosure described devices, components, connectors, and cables that connect an audio-visual device to an external antenna. Some embodiments describe a device connector for connecting the audio-visual device to an external cable. The device connector may include a supply port that is configured to receive power, data signals, and/or some combination of power and data from a source external to the audio-visual device. The device connector may also include an antenna port that is configured to connect the audio-visual device to an external antenna that is, for example, part of the same. Additionally, the device connector may include a detection mechanism that detects the presence of an antenna connection in the antenna port. When an antenna connection is detected, the audio-visual device may be configured to use one or more external antennas connected via the antenna connection to send and receive, e.g., WiFi signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2024Publication date: May 23, 2024Applicant: Roku, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Garner, Tito Thomas
