Patent ID: 7908021

Claim:
A device for processing content data, the device comprises: data processing circuitry operably coupled to process data retrieved from an external content display device, the retrieved data including at least one of digitized audio, digitized video, and incoming remote control data, wherein the data processing circuitry produces presentation information from the retrieved data, the data processing circuitry includes: parsing module operably coupled to receive the retrieved data and separate the retrieved data into the incoming remote control data and the digitized audio; remote control circuitry for process the incoming remote control data to produce content presentation information wherein the incoming remote control circuitry provides the content presentation information to the content processing module, and wherein the content processing module processes the content data based on the content presentation information; and signal processing module operably coupled to process the digitized audio, wherein the digitized audio is representative of audio signals received via a microphone of the external content display device; content processing module operably coupled to produce content data based on the presentation information for presentation on the external content display device; and transceiving module operably coupled to the data processing circuitry and the content processing module, wherein the transceiving module separates modulated data from the content data and produced retrieved data from the modulated data produced by the external content display device, and wherein the transceiving module introduces the content data into a channel coupling the device to the external content display device.
