Abstract: An example system may comprise a network-attached storage device including a base station having a hardware interface including a drive port and a connectivity port; a modular storage drive attachable to and detachable from the drive port; and a modular wireless adapter attachable to and detachable from the connectivity port. The portable storage device is formable by detaching the modular storage drive and the modular wireless adapter from the hardware interface of the network-attached storage device, and coupling the modular storage drive and the modular wireless adapter to one another via a portable hardware interface. Further, a rechargeable modular power unit is removable from the base station and attachable to and detachable from a power port of the network-attached storage device.

Abstract: An electronic device including a peripheral device connection unit configured to connect to a peripheral device and to receive identification data for the peripheral device, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine configuration information, wherein the configuration information is based at least on one of the identification data for the peripheral device or geographic location data for the electronic device, obtain a user interface selected from a plurality of user interfaces based at least partly on the configuration information, and automatically configure the electronic device based on the obtained user interface.

Abstract: A media player appliance including a controller configured to receive an indication from a remote control device that designates a selected application to automatically start when the media player appliance is starting up, update a configuration file to designate the selected application for automatic start, and automatically start an application designated in the configuration file when the media player appliance is starting up.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a user's past content (e.g., pictures, movies, audio recordings) may be retrieved and pushed to the user's mobile device in a real-time and in a contextually-relevant manner. The pushed content may also include contextually-relevant content of others with whom the user has established a relationship to share such content.
