  • Patent number: 10602229
    Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer-readable medium provide control of set top box volume based on mobile device events. The apparatus may execute a process that includes controlling a volume setting of an audio amplifier to output audio content to the one or more audio or audio/visual devices. A connection event signal from a mobile device is received via a wireless radio frequency receiver. The connection event signal indicates a call state of the mobile device. In response to receiving the connection event signal, a received signal strength indication associated with the connection event signal obtained. A volume setting that corresponds to the obtained received signal strength indication is determined. The volume setting output to the audio amplifier is adjusted according to the determined volume setting.

  • Publication number: 20190306580
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media may be operable to facilitate a disabling of a remote control unit for a multimedia device. A multimedia device may be configured with a predetermined input for enabling/disabling an input interface of the multimedia device. An interface lock feature may be enabled at the multimedia device, and when the predetermined input is received at the multimedia device, an input interface of the multimedia device may be enabled or disabled. When the input interface of the multimedia device is disabled, a control device such as a remote control unit may be precluded from operating with the multimedia device.
