Apparatus and method for managing signals provided to multiple display devices

摘要

A method, apparatus, and user interface for providing operational status for multiple communication networks is described. The embodiments include receiving a request to change a program being provided on a first device in the plurality of devices, determining if the requested change requires changing the program provided to at least one second device in the plurality of devices, and outputting or displaying a list of programs currently provided to a subset of the plurality of devices if the requested change requires changing the program to the at least one second device, the subset of devices including the first device and the at least one second device.

主权项

1. A method for controlling content being provided to a plurality of devices, the method comprising:
receiving, at an input circuit, a request to change a program being provided to a first device in the plurality of devices to a requested program; determining, by a controller coupled to the input circuit, if the requested change requires changing the program provided to at least one second device in the plurality of devices; arranging, by the controller, a list of programs currently provided to the plurality of devices into a list of entries if the requested change requires changing the program to the at least one second device, wherein each entry in the list of entries includes a subset of the plurality of devices being provided the same program; outputting for display, by the controller, the list of entries if the requested change requires changing the program to the at least one second device, receiving, by the controller, an input selecting an entry from the list of entries; and changing, by the controller, the program provided to the first device and the subset of the plurality of devices in the selected entry to the requested program.
