Patent number: 11372531Abstract: System, method, and computer product embodiments for controlling a display device's display settings from a computing device's touch-based user interface are described. In an embodiment, the computing device establishes a wireless connectivity with the display device. The computing device sends a command generated to query information related to the display setting. Then, the computing device receives the queried information from the display device. The computing device configures a graphical user interface (GUI) with the queried information to display configurations of the display settings on the touchscreen. The configurations include the display settings currently configured in the display device. The computing device further enables, within GUI, a displayed configuration from the display configurations to be calibrated by one or more touch gestures on the touchscreen.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: ROKU, INC.Inventors: Steve Shaw-Jong Liu, James Harold Shaw, Anita Ranganath, Gregory S.
