Multi-interface streaming media system

摘要

A streaming media device includes a printed circuit board hosting components configured to access internet data. An audio/visual connector is linked to the printed circuit board, wherein the audio/visual connector is adapted for connection to an audio/visual device, wherein the audio/visual connector is adapted to operate with a first audio/visual interface having sufficient power to fully operate the printed circuit board and a second audio/visual interface having insufficient power to fully operate the printed circuit board. A power connector is linked to the printed circuit board, wherein the power connector selectively receives power based on the audio/visual connector utilizing one of the first audio/visual interface and the second audio/visual interface.

1. A streaming media device, comprising:
a board hosting components configured to access streamed data; an audio/visual connector linked to the board, wherein the audio/visual connector is adapted for physical connection to a connector of a display device such that the streaming media device is coupled onto the connector of the display device, wherein the audio/visual connector is adapted to operate with a first audio/visual interface having sufficient power to fully operate the printed circuit board and a second audio/visual interface having insufficient power to fully operate the printed circuit board; a power connector linked to the printed circuit board, wherein the power connector selectively receives power based on the audio/visual connector utilizing one of the first audio/visual interface and the second audio/visual interface; a power cord that is removably coupled to the power connector and configured to deliver power to the power connector through an external power source; a visual indicator to provide indicia of physical connection state between the streaming media device and the connector of the display device; and a processor coupled to the board and configured to:
detect whether the first audio/visual interface or second audio/visual interface is being utilized through the audio/visual connector; anddetermine power requirements based on the detected audio/visual interface being utilized through the audio/visual connector.
