Jun 19, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/141934

Inventors:

Brian Larsen - Bothell WA, US
David Roberts - Redmond WA, US
Aaron Wesley Cunningham - Bellevue WA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 3, 709220

Abstract:

A web-based service portal provides a user interface to configure and/or access device(s) of a home network. The service portal can communicate with device(s) through application program interfaces (APIs). The service portal can provide a standardized user interface for specific feature(s) of a device. The service portal can further provide user authentication, device provisioning, and/or a user interface used to interact with device(s) in a home network. The service portal can established a trusted communication link between the portal and the device. The service portal can include a home control user interface component for providing a graphical representation of the home network and receiving user input and a device provisioning component that can discover and configure the device. The service portal can, optionally, include an authentication component that can authenticate a particular user's right to configure and/or access device(s) of a particular home network.

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 15/177

US Classification:

709222, 709221

Abstract:

The disclosure relates to a system and method of processing device settings of a device. In a particular embodiment, the method includes requesting the device to provide the device settings. The device settings include wide area network (WAN) and local area network (LAN) network settings. The method further includes storing the device settings in a device independent format. After the device settings have been stored in the device independent format, the device settings may be subsequently retrieved and used for replacement of the network device in a computer network. In a particular embodiment, the device settings are stored in the device independent format in a second device, such as at a server or a personal computer.

International Classification:

G06F 7/04

US Classification:

726 3, 726 7

Abstract:

A system and method of hosting a user interface of a network device are provided. A particular method includes receiving a request at a server to display a user interface of the network device, authenticating an end user device to validate an identity of a user, and communicating display information of the user interface of the network device to the end user device for display. The server hosted user interface permits monitoring and interactions with the network device by a user of the end user device.

Assignee:

International Classification:

H04W 72/00

US Classification:

370329

Abstract:

A wireless computer that pairs with a remote audio-video presentation device, such as a television. As a result of the pairing, a communication channel is established for the computer to transmit audio-video content for presentation through that device. Additionally, as part of the pairing, the computer and remote device select a side channel for communication of user commands. The wireless computer may display a user interface through which a user may input commands that control the manner in which the remote audio-video device presents the content. As a result, a user may use the wireless computer as a remote control for the audio-video device, controlling both the content presented and the manner in which it is presented. The side channel may use different frequencies than the channel used to communicate audio-video content, and may use very low power at frequencies in the digital TV spectrum.
