Embodiment Construction

[0025] The present disclosure relates generally to computer ecosystems including aspects of computer networks, which may include consumer electronics (CE) devices. The systems herein can include server and client components connected by a network such that data can be exchanged between the client and server components. Client components may include: one or more computing devices including portable televisions (e.g., smart TVs, Internet-enabled televisions), portable computers such as laptops and tablet computers, as well as smart phones and additional examples discussed below. other mobile devices. These client devices can operate in a variety of operating environments. For example, some client computers may employ operating systems such as those from Microsoft, or Unix operating systems, or operating systems produced by Apple Computer or Google. These operating environments may be used to execute one or more browser programs, such as browsers made by Microsoft or Google or ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to the use of a remote control to run touch screen applications on non-touch capable display devices. Even TVs without a touchscreen can be controlled by a "dumb" remote with up / down / left / right selection buttons, or by a remote with a touchpad, or by a remote running on a mobile device with a touchscreen that communicates with the TV. Control applications to execute applications designed for mobile devices that assume a touchscreen user interface. In all three cases, the TV recognizes that it is running in a special remote control mode and has a corresponding remote control application running on the TV that is able to intercept key presses and finger swipes and translate them as input to the Touchscreen commands for touchscreen-enabled software applications running on the

Description

technical field [0001] This patent application generally relates to running touchscreen software applications on display devices without touchscreen capabilities. Background technique [0002] Many modern TVs, including Sony TVs, do things like but not limited to (Android) operating system's internal processor to operate. While there are thousands of mobile Android apps, there are relatively few Android apps for TVs, primarily because most Android apps assume a touchscreen interface common to mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets , which is not shared with HDTVs that instead employ a "remote control" or "remote control with touchpad" interface. Contents of the invention [0003] As understood herein, while application developers can rewrite their applications to use a non-touch interface, the cost of doing so may not be justified for various reasons. Therefore, there is a need to enable Android-based TVs to execute applications designed for mobile devices that...
