Abstract: A method and system provide for dynamic control of backlighting of a light-transmissive bezel of a display device. A color control signal is received and processed by a processor and control element of the display device to generate a backlighting control signal and transmit the backlighting control signal to the backlighting element of the display device. The backlighting element generates a backlighting color to illuminate the light-transmissive bezel in accordance with the received backlighting control signal; the backlighting control signal adaptively controls the type and the duration of the backlighting color as determined by the color control signal received by the processor and control element.

Abstract: A method and system provide for passive monitoring by a monitor entity of content displayed for viewing by a content viewing device. Generally, one or more content source parameters of a content viewing device are observed or monitored. From the one or more content source parameters are determined content displayed for viewing on the content viewing device. One or more content data representative of the displayed content is next extracted. A monitor entity passively monitors the one or more content data and optionally the one or more content source parameters of the content viewing device. The monitor entity may be a person, an external device programmed to do monitoring, or a person interfacing with an external device.
