Abstract: Pixel values of image content are lowered in response to setting a display mode so that the lowered pixel values of the first image content are mapped to a first color gamut. The first color gamut is defined by a nominal range space and is lower than a native color gamut of a display panel. The native color gamut is defined by the nominal range space and an extended range space that is outside of the first color gamut. One or more parameters are obtained for the image content in the display mode. A color boosting operation is performed for, from among the lowered pixel values of the image content in the nominal range space, each of first pixel values that meet one of the parameters. A color associated with each of the first pixel values is proportionally enhanced without changing a corresponding hue to utilize the extended range space.

Abstract: Techniques for managing a display device coupled to a media processing (MP) device are described. An MP logic/module implemented by the MP device can retrieve data from a display device and identify information characterizing the display device in a database based on the retrieved data. The MP logic/module can compare the retrieved data with the identified information and determine, based on the comparison, that software installed on the display device is obsolete, or that one or more settings of the display device has a first configuration. The MP logic/module can also generate a notification based on the determination, which can be displayed on the display device. The MP logic/module can trigger performance of an action based on the determination. Actions can include downloading an updated software to memory, installing the updated software, or changing the one or more settings from the first configuration to a second, more optimal configuration.

Abstract: Facilitating service coverage identification using augmented reality is contemplated. The service coverage information may relate to wireless signaling metrics collected for wireless access points. A reality view captured with a mobile device to reflect an area proximate the access points may augmented with the service coverage information such that the resulting augmented reality view identifies variances or other parameters of the service coverage information relative to the mobile device.

Abstract: A method and system of controlling state for devices operable to support signaling or sessions between endpoints, such as the type used to support phone, video, messaging, and other calls. The state control may include transitioning the device between in-service and out-of-service states as a function of current, past or future operating demands on the devices.

Abstract: The navigation of video and other types of content based on program moments and/or key content is contemplated. The contemplated navigation may be beneficial in facilitating use of key parameters to enhance user experience and navigation when performed through a video device, a set top box (STB), a digital video recorder (DVR), a Web service or other video accessing service/device.

Abstract: The generation of engagement factors sufficient to represent user engagement, attention, recognition, interest and/or responsiveness to media being shown or otherwise access through an output device is contemplated. The engagement factors may be values or other representations sufficient to facilitate categorizing viewer activities during playback of particular portions of the media.

Abstract: Method and system of determining addressing in a network environment where client devices are serviced by a number of last hop devices. The method and system including determining client device addresses serviced by the last hop devices as a function of last hop device addresses and client address masks associated with each last hop device.
