Abstract: An electronic apparatus, method, and algorithm achieve synchronization between video data executed on a video sink device and audio data executed on one or more Bluetooth audio sink devices. The electronic apparatus, method, and algorithm obtain calibration information for the one or more Bluetooth devices, determine a delay for outputting the video and audio data to the video sink device using the calibration information, control the Bluetooth transceiver to output the audio data to the one or more Bluetooth devices, and control the output circuit to output the video and audio data to the video sink device in accordance with the determined delay.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate an identification of a viewer based upon the proximity of an associated wireless device to an access point. An association between a wireless device, user, display device, and a position of the wireless device relative to an access point may be created and stored at the access point. The access point may monitor the position of the wireless device, wherein the position is based on the strength of a signal received from the wireless device at one or more receivers. When the access point determines that a position of the wireless device is associated with a display device, the access point may identify the user of the wireless device as a potential viewer of the display device. Targeted advertisements and set-top box functionality may be configured based on the identification of a viewer of the display device.

Abstract: A content streaming apparatus that includes a gateway streaming manager which determines whether a client device has roamed out of a wireless zone of the content streaming apparatus into a wireless zone of another content streaming apparatus, and when the client device has roamed, sends a tuner reservation instruction to the other content streaming apparatus to instruct the other content streaming apparatus to reserve a tuner in advance of a transfer of the streaming session. The gateway streaming manager receives a tuner reservation confirmation from the other content streaming apparatus, and sends an alternate streaming notification to the client device. The gateway streaming manager receives an alternate streaming acceptance from the client device, and ends the streaming session between the content streaming apparatus and the client device when the alternate streaming acceptance is received.

Abstract: A device is provided for use with a wireless communication device and with a video display. The device includes a receiver, an image decoder, an emergency alert system (EAS) decoder, an output port, a memory, a warning generator and a transmitter. The receiver receives input data including image data and EAS data. The image decoder decodes the image data into image display data. The EAS decoder decodes the emergency alert system data into emergency alert data. The output port outputs the image display data to the video display to display a video image. The memory stores contact information associated with the wireless communication device. The warning generator generates a warning signal based on the emergency alert data. The transmitter transmits a warning transmission to the wireless communication device over a cellular network, wherein the warning transmission is based on the warning signal and the contact information.
