SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING EXPANSION OF MEDIA DEVICE INTERFACE CAPABILITIES

摘要

System, methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media to facilitate expansion of media device interface capabilities are provided. A first media device may be configured to be communicatively couplable to a second media device. A first set of one or more interface ports that are configured to interface with one or more multimedia devices may be recognized. The second media device may be recognized when the second media device is communicatively coupled to the first media device. A second set of one or more interface ports provided by the second media device may be determined. A third set of interface ports may be determined based on the first set and the second set. Configuration information may be generated and provided to facilitate indication of interface options. Content may be provided via at least one interface port of the second set of one or more interface ports provided by the second media device.

1. A system to facilitate expansion of media device interface capabilities, the system comprising:
a first media device configured to be communicatively couplable to a second media device, the first media device further configured to:
recognize a first set of one or more interface ports that are configured to interface with one or more multimedia devices;recognize the second media device when the second media device is communicatively coupled to the first media device;determine a second set of one or more interface ports provided by the second media device;determine a third set of interface ports based at least in part on the first set and the second set;generate configuration information based at least in part on the third set of interface ports;provide the configuration information to a display to facilitate indication of interface options based at least in part on the third set of interface ports; andoperate to provide content to the display based at least in part on audio and/or visual data via at least one interface port of the second set of one or more interface ports provided by the second media device.
