| 20080204605 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING A REMOTE CONTROL UNIT TO SENSE TELEVISION CHARACTERISTICS - A system for sensing television characteristics comprises a display device, a speaker, a calibration manager, and a remote control unit, which has a light sensor, a microphone, a transmitter, and logic. The logic is configured to determine, based on the light sensor and the microphone, a value indicative of an amount of time that elapses between emission of sound from the speaker and a detection of the sound by the microphone. The transmitter is configured to transmit a wireless signal based on the value, and the calibration manager is configured to adjust a parameter of a television system based on the wireless signal. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080265131 | Light on electronic device - Various embodiments of a light on an electronic device are disclosed. In one embodiment, the light couples to a sensor and has a brightness that varies when ambient light incident on the sensor varies. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080266317 | Integrated color management - In one embodiment, a display device comprises a timing controller, a first computer readable memory medium coupled to the timing controller and comprising a first color table, a video processor coupled to the timing controller via a communication link and comprising logic to request the first color table from the timing controller, and use data in the first color table to implement a color correction routine. | 10-30-2008 |
