CONTROL DEVICE, BROADCAST RECEIVER, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BROADCAST RECEIVER, AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING SERVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240340486 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE, BROADCAST RECEIVER, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BROADCAST RECEIVER, AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING SERVICE
The abstract describes a method for controlling a broadcast receiver by displaying a user interface (UI) corresponding to the content currently provided through the receiver. The method involves receiving information from the broadcast receiver and transmitting control commands in response to user inputs on the UI items.
- The method involves receiving information from a broadcast receiver regarding the content being provided.
- The UI displayed corresponds to the content currently being broadcasted.
- Users can select UI items to control the broadcast receiver.
- Control commands are transmitted to the broadcast receiver based on user inputs on the UI.
- The method allows for easy and intuitive control of the broadcast receiver.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in smart TVs, set-top boxes, and other devices with broadcast receivers to enhance user control and interaction with content.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for a user-friendly interface to control broadcast receivers and interact with broadcasted content effectively.
