Abstract:
A commercial television-interfacing dongle and system and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a wireless transceiver is located within a housing, which also interconnectively includes a television input, television output, a processor, memory, a control interface, and a universal serial bus (USB) interface. The control interface and the USB interface connect to the commercial television. The commercial television interfacing dongle may establish a pairing with a proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device having a display and receive and process virtual remote control functionality input instructions from the proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device. Following receipt and processing of the virtual remote control functionality input instructions, the commercial television-interfacing dongle sends a command to the commercial television via a commercial television control protocol.

Claim (Index 18):
A commercial television-interfacing dongle for mechanically connecting to a commercial television, the commercial television-interfacing dongle comprising:\n a housing securing a processor, memory, and storage therein; a busing architecture communicatively interconnecting the processor, the memory, and the storage; a wireless transceiver associated with the housing and coupled to the busing architecture, the wireless transceiver operable to communicate with a proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device; a control interface associated with the housing and coupled to the busing architecture, the control interface configured to mechanically couple to a commercial television control port of the commercial television; a universal serial bus (USB) interface associated with the housing and coupled to the busing architecture, the USB interface configured to mechanically couple to the commercial television to provide structural support to the commercial television-interfacing dongle and provide power therefrom to the commercial television-interfacing dongle; the memory accessible to the processor, the memory including processor-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to, upon connection of the control interface and USB interface to the commercial television:\n specify a search operation to identify the proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device, wherein the search operation utilizes the wireless transceiver to wirelessly identify the proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device, \n establish a pairing between the proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device and the commercial television-interfacing dongle, \n send formatted auxiliary audiovisual experience instructions to the proximate wireless-enabled programmable interactive device, wherein the formatted auxiliary audiovisual experience instructions are operable to provide a program guide related to the content on the commercial television, \n provide instructions for virtual buttons on a touch screen display associated with the proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device, the virtual buttons being associated with the commercial television, \n receive and process virtual remote control functionality input instructions from the proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device, \n send a remote control command to the commercial television via a commercial television control protocol, and \n provide advertising instructions via the control interface to the commercial television to superimpose advertising content onto a portion of a screen of the commercial television; and \n a configuration profile associated with the memory and processor-executable instructions that enables the commercial television-interfacing dongle to control the commercial television, the configuration profile being a non-set-top box, functionality-facing platform, the configuration profile being associated with a room in a lodging establishment wherein the commercial television-interfacing dongle is located.
