Patent Images
1. A method to manage a user interface in a digital display device, comprising:
- establishing a communication connection between the digital display device and at least one video source device;
initiating a handshake process between the digital display device and the video source device;
selecting one of the digital display device or the video source device as the primary interface device manager and one of the digital display device or the video source device as the secondary interface device manager;
initiating, from the primary interface device manager, a request for a user interface database from the secondary interface device manager; and
receiving in the primary interface device manager, a user interface database from the secondary interface device manager;
merging the user interface database from the secondary interface device manager with a user interface database from the primary interface device manager to form a merged user interface database; and
storing the merged user interface database in a memory module coupled to the primary interface device manager.
