Abstract
A parameter detector sends at least one test signal to a display and receives at least one detected display parameter from a remote control device in proximity of the display. A content parameter analyzer retrieves at least one content parameter from content to be sent to the display. A parameter comparator then compares the detected display parameter to the content parameter and adjusts outgoing content signals based on the content parameter but in accordance with the detected display parameter. The parameter comparator provides at least one suggested display parameter adjustment when the content parameter is beyond the detected display parameter. The suggested display parameter can be transmitted using a video and/or an audio signal.
Claims22
A system, comprising:
- a parameter detector 214 that sends at least one test signal to a display and receives at least one detected display parameter from a remote control device in proximity of the display;
- a content parameter analyzer that retrieves at least one content parameter from content to be sent to the display;
- and
- a parameter comparator that compares the detected display parameter to the content parameter and adjusts outgoing content signals based on the content parameter but in accordance with the detected display parameter.
A method, comprising the steps of:
- sending at least one parameter test signal to a display;
- receiving at least one detected display parameter from a remote control device in proximity of the display;
- retrieving at least one content parameter from content o be sent to the display;
- comparing the detected display parameter to the content parameter;
- and
- adjusting outgoing content signals based on the content parameter but in accordance with the detected display parameter.
A system, comprising:
- means for sending at least one parameter test signal to a display;
- means for receiving at least one detected display parameter from a remote control device in proximity of the display;
- means for retrieving at least one content parameter from content to be sent to the display;
- means for comparing the detected display parameter to the content parameter;
- and
- means for adjusting outgoing content signals based on the content parameter but in accordance with the detected display parameter.
