Abstract: A method for displaying messages includes receiving, from a social network system, a plurality of messages, and filtering the plurality of messages into at least two filtered sets of messages based on a group where each of the at least two filtered sets of messages include a different subset of the plurality of messages. The method can include assigning each of the at least two filtered sets of messages to a column, triggering concurrent display of the at least two filtered sets of messages in the assigned column, and analyzing data related to an interaction of a user with at least one filtered set of messages from the at least two filtered messages.

Abstract: A method for displaying messages receiving from a social network system, a plurality of messages, and filtering the plurality of messages into at least two filtered sets of messages based on at least one feature of the plurality of messages where each of the at least two filtered sets of messages includes a different subset of the plurality of messages. The method can include assigning a first of two filtered sets of messages to a first column, analyzing an interaction of the user with the first of the two filtered set of messages, and triggering display of a second of the two filtered sets of messages in a second column in response to the interaction.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an audio device includes a plurality of ports. The audio device receives, from a first network via a first port included in the plurality of ports, at least one of a first audio signal and a first control signal. The audio device transmits the at least one of the first audio signal and the first control signal to an audio output device. In case of a fault associated with the first port, the audio device transmits at least one of a second audio signal and a second control signal to the audio output device, where the at least one of the second audio signal and the second control signal is received from a second network via a second port included in the plurality of ports.

Abstract: A system and method for managing and displaying data messages includes a computing device configured to receive stream data, assign data messages of the stream data to one or more display columns of a graphical user interface, and display the data messages in the assigned columns. The stream data may be embodied as short data messages such as text messages having predetermined maximum character length. The data messages may be assigned to the display columns based on meta-data associated with the data messages such as the author of the data message, the source of the data message, and/or the type of the data message.

Abstract: A controller may include a programmable user interface controls configured to receive user input. The controller may also include multi-color backlights configured to backlight the programmable user interface controls. The controller may receive configuration information specifying an assignment of controllable parameters of the media system and associated backlighting colors to the at least one programmable user interface control, and may direct the multi-color backlights to backlight the programmable user interface controls in colors accordance with backlighting color information specified by the configuration information. The controller may further control a display screen to display the graphics or text descriptive of the assignable buttons in accordance with control descriptions included in the configuration information.
