SAVING AND RESTORING CONTROL SETTINGS FOR MULTIMEDIA CONTENT RECEIVERS

摘要

A settings controller for a multimedia content receiver is responsive to a control settings command. The settings controller saves a first set of control settings and loads a second set of control settings associated with the control settings command after saving the first set of control settings. It then reloads the first set of control settings when the control settings command is no longer valid. This allows for viewer settings to be automatically restored after an interruption.
