Abstract: Disclosed are a dynamic error measurement apparatus, system, and method for an electricity meter. The measurement apparatus includes a test signal generation unit configured to generate a voltage test signal and two-circuit current test signals, output the voltage test signal to a measurement unit, and output the two-circuit current test signals to the measurement unit and a current summation unit; the measurement unit configured to determine two-circuit electric energy values based on the voltage test signal and the two-circuit current test signals, and output the two-circuit electric energy values to a calculation control unit; the current summation unit configured to determine a combined current signal based on the two-circuit current test signals; and the calculation control unit configured to determine a total electric energy value based on the two-circuit electric energy values. The system includes a standard meter and a measurement apparatus.

Abstract: A system and method for generating an audio prompt in response to the actuation of a button on a remote-control button. This audio prompt provides aural feedback to a user that may impaired from discerning the functionality of buttons upon a remote control. This impairment may be environmental (poor lighting) or a consequence of the physical condition of the user (poor eyesight). A particular embodiment of the system and method enables audio feedback to be generated prior to the execution of any command associated with an actuated button, thereby permitting a user to take corrective action if the button was actuated inadvertently.

Abstract: The example system and method enable a user to post comments to appear as textual content in a streaming graphical content presentation. The textual content and the graphical content may be provided to the user's set top box for presentation on an associated display device and may be provided to another user's set top box for presentation on the other user's display device. Each of the users utilize a wireless remote control enabled to accept text and/or voice inputs of a comment for inclusion in the streaming graphical content. The set top box generates a comment based on the inputted text and/or voice received from the remote control. The set top box provides the generated comment to a media server which distributes textual content based on the generated comment to other set top boxes for presentation with the streaming graphical content.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus including a control circuit that controls access to content and determines an operation mode of the electronic apparatus, and a monitoring circuit that monitors the access to the content, acquires content access information, and generates a table. The control circuit causes each of the content access information acquired by the monitoring circuit and the table generated by the monitoring circuit to be stored in a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of the electronic apparatus. The monitoring circuit can update the content access parameters as additional content access information is acquired, and when the control circuit determines that the electronic apparatus is in an active mode, the control circuit can refer to the table and select, when access parameters of the active mode match the updated content access parameters, a current content to be output from the electronic apparatus.
