Abstract: A remote control for an electronic device having near field communication capability communicates with a mobile device having near field communication capability, for initiating information exchange between the electronic device and the mobile device. The electronic device may be a digital television, the remote control may be an infra-red, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi remote control, and the mobile device may be a smart phone or a tablet.

Abstract: An electronic device system includes: a network device; a non-volatile memory, for storing at least an image; an electronic device, including: a System-on-A-Chip; and a network connection, for downloading files containing at least the image from the network device. The electronic device further includes a display, for presenting the image when the network connection is not enabled.

Abstract: A method and system to provide networking related features and other features to a consumer electronics system. The system implementation described herein shows one option to implement the method for a DTV system. The system includes a router and a DTV System-on-a-Chip. The router provides features to the DTV when the DTV system can be in any mode including on and stand-by, features like Access Point, WiFi Direct, Network Storage, Ethernet Switch and Network Pre-fetch.

Abstract: A television receiver includes a tuner, a bandpass filter, an intermediate frequency amplifier and a demodulator. The tuner has an input to receive radio frequency signals and an output to provide modulated analog and digital television signals at an intermediate frequency. The bandpass filter and the intermediate frequency amplifier provide a singular signal path to filter and amplify both the modulated analog and digital television signals at the intermediate frequency. The demodulator has a singular input coupled to the output of the intermediate frequency amplifier and a plurality of outputs. The plurality of outputs includes a first output to provide demodulated analog television signals in response to the output of the tuner providing modulated analog television signals at the intermediate frequency and a second output to provide demodulated digital television signals in response to the output of the tuner providing modulated digital television signals at the intermediate frequency.

Abstract: A system and method for determining an FFT window location for reception of an OFDM signal received over a transmission channel. The OFDM signal includes a plurality of symbols each having a guard interval. The system includes a correlation module that determines a location of maximum correlation in a first symbol, an FFT module to perform an FFT on the OFDM signal based upon an initial FFT window location, and an adjustment module. The adjustment module determines a plurality of permissible echo location options based upon the initial FFT window location, selects a permissible echo location option that corresponds most closely to the location of maximum correlation, and adjusts the initial FFT window location based upon the selected permissible echo location option so that the adjusted FFT window location includes substantially all of a useful symbol length of the first symbol while a maximum number of echoes are included within the guard interval of the first symbol.
