Abstract

The present disclosure describes a system and method that can be used to define a standardized interface through which Internet of Things (IoT) device notifications from one or more IoT devices can be received and served to one or more network-connected television device displays based on configuration information. For instance, an IoT device notification, such as an informational notification, warning, video stream, or other information output by one of various types of IoT devices may be served to and displayed as a Picture-in-Picture on the network-connected television device display. The configuration information may cause an IoT device notification to be displayed on one or more network-connected television device displays when availability of the network-connected television device display is known, when availability of the network-connected television device display in association with a particular user is known, or according to another determined delivery action.
