Publication number: 20220103428Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for automatically determining the functionality and capabilities of electronic components. Some embodiments operate by transmitting a command to the display device in question (sometimes called the device under test—DUT—herein) and monitoring the device. Then, it is determined whether an action by the display device was one of a set of proper responses to the command. If the action was proper, then it is determined that the display device supports the command set associated with the command. The command set may be the Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) set, although this disclosure is not limited to that example.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: Roku, Inc.Inventors: Ilya ASNIS, Daniel Martin Daly, Gregory Mack Garner, Scott Edward De Haas, David Allen Westerhoff, Anthony John Wood

Patent number: 10217577Abstract: Described herein are several examples of an apparatus that features receptacles configured to accept interchangeable buttons. Each of the interchangeable buttons has a receptacle interface on a first side, which allows them to electrically connect to and communicate with the aforementioned apparatus, and a unique user-perceivable label on a second side. Electronic elements embedded in each interchangeable button, or alternatively located on its first side, correspond to a unique user-perceivable label. Based on these electronic elements, the apparatus recognizes each button individually, and identifies their user-perceivable label. As a result, the interchangeable buttons may be re-positioned on the apparatus and maintain their intended functionality according to their user-perceivable label. In addition, new interchangeable buttons with different user-perceivable labels and new functionality, according to their labels, can be introduced to the apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2017Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Roku, Inc.Inventors: William Daniel Strauss, Scott Edward De Haas, Gregory Mack Garner, Jeffrey John Peters, Anthony Wood
