APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A MEDIA DEVICE PRE-OPERATION
First Claim
1. A method of performing pre-operations at a media device in anticipation of an occurrence of a user action, the method comprising:
- receiving an in-use signal from an electronic device that is remotely proximate to the media device, wherein the received in-use signal corresponds to a user interaction with the electronic device; and
performing a pre-operation at the media device, wherein the pre-operation is performed prior to receiving an initial user action configured to operate at least one of the media device and a media presentation device coupled to the media device.

Abstract
Systems and methods are operable to perform pre-operations at a media device in anticipation of an occurrence of a user action. An exemplary embodiment receives an in-use signal from an electronic device that is remotely proximate to the media device, wherein the received in-use signal corresponds to a user interaction with the electronic device; and performs the pre-operation at the media device. The pre-operation is performed prior to receiving an initial user action configured to operate at least one of the media device and a media presentation device coupled to the media device.

15. A media device configured to communicatively couple to an electronic device, comprising:
-
an electronic device interface configured to receive an in-use signal from the electronic device that is remotely proximate to the media device, wherein the received in-use signal corresponds to a user interaction with the electronic device; and a processor system configured to perform at least one pre-operation of at least one of the media device and a media presentation device coupled to the media device, wherein the at least one pre-operation is performed prior to receiving an initial user action. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A method of performing pre-operations at a media device in anticipation of an occurrence of a user action, the method comprising:
-
receiving over time a plurality of in-use signals from an electronic device, wherein the in-use signals are communicated from the electronic device to the media device in response to a user interaction with the electronic device; receiving for each one of the plurality of in-use signals an initial user action; associating the in-use signal with the initial user action, wherein the initial user action is configured to operate at least one of the media device and a media presentation device coupled to the media device; storing the plurality of the associations; and learning that receiving the in-use signal from the electronic device is expected to be followed by the initial user action based on the stored plurality of associations. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
