Service discovery for an application lacking capabilities sufficient to facilitate Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), Zero-configuration networking (Zeroconf), Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) or other service discovery protocols relying upon multicast User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is contemplated. The service discovery may be facilitated with a discovery proxy configured to identify available services and a discovery service having capabilities sufficient to apprise the application of the services identified with the discovery proxy.

Network service discovery

Manipulation of a Web page displayed through a first device as a function of user interaction with a second device is contemplated. The manipulation may include operating the second device as a touchscreen or other gesture-based controllable device and automatically providing corresponding navigation within the Web page as a function of interactions registered through the second device.

Administration of web page

Delegating authorizations sufficient to access services is contemplate. The authorization may be delegated in the form of a token or other transmissible construct relied upon to authenticate access to services, such as but not necessarily limited to conferring a user identity established via authenticated device for the purposes of enabling an unauthenticated or unsecured device to access a service associated with the user identity.

Delegating authorizations

Cross-reference of shared browser applications

Delegation of authorizations from one device to another device is contemplated. The contemplated capabilities may enable an authenticated device to confer access tokens or other authoritative permissions to a non-authenticated or unsecured device, such as to enable the delegated device to access user content without the user having to enter a username and password or other identifying credentials thereto.

An interactive matrix tile transformation user interface is contemplated. The user interface may be configured to facilitate user navigation of a display or other interface through which services may be requested, including facilitating navigation of television related services. The user interface may be operable in a device having capabilities sufficient to control operation of an output device in response to user input.
