| 20080216122 | System and method for selection of content source upon device power-on - A system and method for determining which program to display from multiple content sources at a power-on event of a content display device at a certain location is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving metadata containing content information about multiple programming available from multiple content sources on an integrated network. The content information can be analyzed so as to determine if any of the programming satisfies rules pertaining to programming appropriate for the location of the display device within a home. The content information can be analyzed in advance such that when a power-on command is received at the content display device, a program that has been determined to satisfy the rules is displayed on the display device. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080276277 | Method and system for presenting television program guide information based on viewer usage patterns - A method and system for presenting television program guide information is provided. A program guide is obtained, and program viewing patterns of a viewer are monitored. Information from the program guide is selectively presented to the viewer based on the viewing patterns. Selectively presenting information from the program guide includes displaying a listing of channels viewed more frequently on a guide screen in descending order of viewing frequency. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090204995 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FILTERING A TELEVISION CHANNEL LIST BASED ON CHANNEL CHARACTERISTICS - A system and method for automatically managing television channel lists is disclosed. Pixel resolutions characteristics of a plurality of televisions channels are analyzed. One or more high definition television (HDTV) channels having HD pixel resolutions from the plurality of available television channels are selected. The one or more selected HDTV channels are stored in a HD channel list. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100013996 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THEME-BASED SETTINGS FOR A DISPLAY DEVICE - A method and system for controlling settings for an electronic device, is provided. One implementation involves detecting access to audio/visual content using the device, identifying a theme associated with the content, retrieving a set of device settings associated with the identified theme, and dynamically applying the retrieved settings to the device during access to the content. | 01-21-2010 |

| 20080207122 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN UPLINK TRANSMISSION FORMAT IN A BROADBAND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - An apparatus and method in a broadband wireless communication system are provided. The apparatus includes a Base Station (BS) which includes a manager for increasing a set point associated with a Mobile Station (MS) if an error is detected in a burst received from the MS, a detector for incrementing a counter associated with the MS if a difference, between a maximum Transmission (Tx) power of the MS and a Tx power used by the MS when transmitting the burst in which the error was detected, is less than a difference threshold, and a determining unit for providing control such that a number of slots allocated to the MS decreases if the counter associated with the MS is greater than a counter threshold. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20100091730 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING UPLINK SCHEDULING PRIORITY IN BROADBAND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - An apparatus and method for determining an uplink scheduling priority in a broadband wireless communication system are provided. The apparatus includes a basic priority determination unit for calculating a basic priority metric of at least one Mobile Station (MS), a calculation unit for calculating a correction value for considering an interference level with respect to the basic priority metric by using downlink channel quality of each MS, and a final priority determination unit for determining an uplink scheduling priority by calculating a final priority metric by using the correction value. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100130244 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DATA TRANSMISSION RATE IN BROADBAND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - An apparatus and a method for controlling a data transmission rate in a broadband wireless communication system are provided. In the method, an interference factor representing an interference degree by an external sector is measured. Interference given to the external sector is estimated using the interference factor, an interference weight depending on a location of a terminal, and an amount of wireless resource use of a self sector. A data transmission rate is determined with consideration of an interference estimation value and a wireless channel state of the terminal. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100197297 | Apparatus and method for measuring uplink thermal noise power and uplink interference power in wireless communication system - An apparatus for use in a base station capable of checking whether a frequency is illegally used in a wireless communication system are provided. Operations of the base station for checking whether the frequency is illegally used includes setting a silence interval in which a resource is not allocated to a terminal, using silence interval setting information provided from a system manager; when the silence interval arrives, measuring RSSI; and transmitting the RSSI to the system manager to examine at least one of a frequency illegal use and a reception path error using the RSSI. | 08-05-2010 |
