  • Patent number: 11470281
    Abstract: An electronic device and method for rendering content on displays in a living environment based on environment outside the living environment is provided. The electronic device receives first images of a living environment from a first image capturing device positioned inside the living environment and detects a facial region of a user based on the received first images. The electronic device tracks a head position or an eye gaze of the user based on the detected facial region and selects a second image capturing device from a plurality of image capturing devices. The plurality of image capturing devices is coupled with the electronic device and is positioned outside the living environment. The electronic device receives second images from the selected second image capturing device and controls a display screen, associated with the electronic device and inside the living environment, to display the received second images.

  • Patent number: 8456575
    Abstract: An audio video display device (AVDD) includes a processor and a touch screen video display. The AVDD also includes a computer readable storage medium bearing instructions executable by the processor to present at least one image of a remote control (RC) on the display. Accordingly, responsive to a first user command, the processor presents an image of a full RC on the display. Responsive to a second user command, the processor presents an image of a direction-only RC on the display that permits a user only to enter direction commands and an “enter” command.
