Abstract
A method and a content receiver configured as an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway are provided. The content receiver receives a first signal transmitted by an IoT device in accordance with an IoT protocol and demodulates and decodes the first signal. The content receiver generates one or more Internet protocol (IP) packets or non-IP packets representative of the first signal and sends the one or more IP packets or non-IP packets to an external server.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- an Internet of Things (IoT) device including a transceiver configured to transmit a first signal in accordance with an IoT protocol;
- and
- a content receiver configured as an IoT gateway including:
- an IoT transceiver configured to:
- receive the first signal;
- demodulate and decode the first signal;
- and
- output data representative of the first signal;
- a controller configured to:
- cause an IoT device configuration menu to be displayed, the IoT device configuration menu presenting a command for a user to specify, for the IoT device, whether an alert display is configured for the IoT device, an alert display area as a percentage of a display area of a display coupled to the content receiver and a display position of an alert on the display;
- receive user specification of whether the alert display is configured for the IoT device;
- receive the data representative of the first signal;
- determine whether the alert display is configured for the IoT device as specified by the user;
- determine to display the alert on the display as the percentage of the display area and at the display position on the display based on the user specification after determining that the alert display is configured for the IoT device;
- and
- generate and output one or more packets representative of the first signal;
- and
- a network interface configured to:
- receive the one or more packets representative of the first signal;
- and
- send the one or more packets to an external server.

A method, comprising:
- causing an Internet of Things (IoT) device configuration menu to be displayed, the IoT device configuration menu presenting a command for a user to specify, for an IoT device, whether an alert display is configured for the IoT device, an alert display area as a percentage of a display area of a display coupled to a content receiver and a display position of an alert on the display;
- receive user specification of whether the alert display is configured for the IoT device;
- receiving, by the content receiver configured as an IoT gateway, a first signal transmitted by the IoT device in accordance with an IoT protocol;
- demodulating and decoding the first signal;
- determining whether the alert display is configured for the IoT device as specified by the user;
- determining to display the alert on the display as the percentage of the display area and at the display position on the display based on the user specification after determining that the alert display is configured for the IoT device;
- generating one or more packets representative of the first signal;
- and
- sending the one or more packets to an external server.
