Abstract
Techniques are provided herein for secure display device communications. In one example, a video communications device provides, to a display device over a first connection, communication information that enables the display device to contact a server over a second connection. The video communications device further provides, to the display device over the first connection, a command configured to initiate an interaction with the server. The server obtains, from the display device over the second connection, a message initiating the interaction in response to the command based on the communication information.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- providing, to a display device over a first connection, communication information that enables the display device to contact a server over a second connection, wherein the communication information includes an identifier and/or address of the server and/or a location of the server;
- and
- providing, to the display device over the first connection, a command configured to initiate an interaction with the server, wherein the command is to read or write at least one configurable setting of the display device from or to the server, wherein the server obtains, from the display device over the second connection, a message initiating the interaction in response to the command based on the communication information,
- wherein the at least one configurable setting of the display device impacts one or more of latency, color representation, or power control.
An apparatus comprising:
- a network interface configured to obtain or provide network communications;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the network interface, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- provide, to a display device over a first connection, communication information that enables the display device to contact a server over a second connection, wherein the communication information includes an identifier and/or address of the server and/or a location of the server;
- and
- provide, to the display device over the first connection, a command configured to initiate an interaction with the server, wherein the command is to read or write at least one configurable setting of the display device from or to the server, wherein the server obtains, from the display device over the second connection, a message initiating the interaction in response to the command based on the communication information,
- wherein the at least one configurable setting of the display device impacts one or more of latency, color representation, or power control.
One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- provide, to a display device over a first connection, communication information that enables the display device to contact a server over a second connection, wherein the communication information includes an identifier and/or address of the server and/or a location of the server;
- and
- provide, to the display device over the first connection, a command configured to initiate an interaction with the server, wherein the command is to read or write at least one configurable setting of the display device from or to the server, wherein the server obtains, from the display device over the second connection, a message initiating the interaction in response to the command based on the communication information,
- wherein the at least one configurable setting of the display device impacts one or more of latency, color representation, or power control.
