METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PRESENTING A STILL-IMAGE FEEDBACK RESPONSE TO USER COMMAND FOR REMOTE AUDIO/VIDEO CONTENT VIEWING

摘要

A method for presenting feedback to a user when a command is received is provided. The method receives, at a content retransmitter, a command for navigating audio/video content selections for retransmission to a user device; transmits the received command to a set-top box for execution, wherein execution of the command at the set-top box produces a result; while gradually receiving the result at the content retransmitter, creates a period of latency when the result is only partially available for retransmission; during the period of latency, retrieves a still-image frame associated with execution of the command; and transmits the still-image frame to the user device for presentation until the result is completely available for retransmission.
