Abstract
This disclosure describes seamless firmware updates for a remote controller associated with a display device, such as a smart display or smart television. When a firmware update is available, a controller software update sequence is initiated. It is determined whether the display device is in use, and if it is not in use, the remote controller firmware is updated as a background process without turning on a screen of the display device. Otherwise, the firmware update is not attempted and the controller software update sequence is initiated at a subsequent time. The update can be performed if a current time matches a predetermined time window associated with low likelihood of device use or if a threshold time has elapsed since the display device was turned off. Upon successful completion of the update, the system reverts to its previous state before the update sequence was initiated.
