Abstract:
An exemplary device renders, within a field of view of an immersive virtual reality world (“world”) presented on a display screen, content of the world based on a stream of a first content file comprising a first content sector of the world. The device predicts that a user will provide user input representative of a request to shift additional content included in a second content sector of the world but not the first content sector into the field of view. Based on the prediction, the device requests and begins receiving a stream of a second content file comprising the second content sector. The device then detects the predicted user input from the user and, in response, switches from rendering the content included in the first content sector based on the first content file to rendering the additional content included in the second content sector based on the second content file.
Abstract:
A digital cable broadcast receiver and a method for automatically processing caption data of various standards and types, is disclosed. The digital broadcast receiver includes: a demultiplexer for dividing a received broadcast stream into video data, audio data, supplementary information; a controller for determining whether caption data included in the video data is digital caption data or analog caption data on the basis of caption information included in the supplementary information, and outputting a control signal according to a result of the determining: a digital caption decoder for extracting and decoding digital caption data from the video data according to the control signal; and an analog caption decoder for extracting and decoding analog caption data from the video data according to the control signal.
Abstract:
A method is provided for displaying an immersive video content according to eye movement of a viewer includes the steps of detecting, using an eye tracking device, a field of view of at least one eye of the viewer, transmitting eye tracking coordinates from the detected field of view to an eye tracking processor, identifying a region on a video display corresponding to the transmitted eye tracking processor, adapting the immersive video content from a video storage device at a first resolution for a first portion of the immersive video content and a second resolution for a second portion of the immersive video content, the first resolution being higher than the second resolution, displaying the first portion of the immersive video content on the video display within a zone, and displaying the second portion of the immersive video content on the video display outside of the zone.
Abstract:
Provided are methods and systems for processing information. In one example method a first frame of a first group of frames of an information transmission can be processed. The first frame can be encoded without reference to other frames of the information transmission. Additionally, a second frame can be processed in the first group of frames. The second frame can be processed with reference to a frame from a second group of frames of the information transmission.
Abstract:
A method, system and computer program product for selecting a bitrate to stream encoded media. A manifest file is fetched, where the manifest file contains metadata for encoded media segments which includes tags signifying the associated encoded media segments being important to the viewer. A playback occupancy level is then increased before reaching these tagged media segment(s). A high bitrate (high quality) is selected to stream the tagged media segment(s) which are then fetched and played at the selected high bitrate in response to the new playback buffer occupancy level being above a threshold level. In this manner, those media segments that are of higher importance to the viewer will be viewed in a higher quality since content information is used to select the bitrate to receive the encoded media segments. As a result, the user's quality of experience in viewing media is improved.
Abstract:
In one aspect, an example method includes: receiving an instruction to apply a first particular DVE to a temporal portion of a video segment; making a determination that no temporal portion of the video segment satisfies each condition in a condition set; and based, at least in part, on the received instruction and the determination, transmitting to a DVE system a first instruction that causes the DVE system to apply a second particular DVE to a particular temporal portion of the video segment, thereby causing first content within a region of the particular temporal portion of the video segment to be removed, and a second instruction that causes the DVE system to apply the first particular DVE to at least part of the particular temporal portion of the video segment, thereby causing second content to be overlaid within the region of at least part of the particular temporal portion.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for performing bit rate encoding are described. One of the methods includes receiving data indicating a change in a first connection speed that is associated with a first network. The change generates a second connection speed. The method further includes determining whether a media file is being downloaded. The method also includes determining that a current segment of the media file is being downloaded. The current segment is downloaded at a first bit rate and the first bit rate is associated with the first connection speed. The method includes determining whether the media file includes a remaining segment to be downloaded. The current segment precedes the remaining segment. The method includes identifying a second bit rate based on the second connection speed, receiving the remaining segment at the second bit rate, and stitching the remaining segment with the current segment.
Abstract:
Links are set among three hierarchical data and one moving image data. When a display area overlaps with a first link area while an image is being displayed by using first hierarchical data, switching to display by use of the 0-th hierarchical level of the second hierarchical data is made. When the display area overlaps with a second link area while an image is being displayed by using the second hierarchical data, switching to display by use of the 0-th hierarchical level of the third hierarchical data is made. The link destination of another link area is the moving image data and moving image reproduction is started as a result of zoom-up of this area. The hierarchical data are held on the client terminal side and the data existing on the other side of a switching boundary are transmitted to the client terminal in a data stream format.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an information processing device and method for adaptively supplying data of partial images. The information processing device includes: a partial image information generation unit configured to generate partial image information which is information regarding each partial image which is a part of an entire image; and a metadata generation unit configured to generate metadata to be used for supply of a bit stream of the entire image and supply of a bit stream of the partial image using the partial image information generated by the partial image information generation unit. For example, the present disclosure can be applied to an information processing device that performs a process for adaptively supplying image data.
Abstract:
An interactive video/multimedia application (IVM application) may specify one or more media assets for playback. The IVM application may define the rendering, composition, and interactivity of one or more the assets, such as video. Video multimedia application data (IVMA data may) be used to define the behavior of the IVM application. The IVMA data may be embodied as a standalone file in a text or binary, compressed format. Alternatively, the IVMA data may be embedded within other media content. A video asset used in the IVM application may include embedded, content-aware metadata that is tightly coupled to the asset. The IVM application may reference the content-aware metadata embedded within the asset to define the rendering and composition of application display elements and user-interactivity features. The interactive video/multimedia application (defined by the video and multimedia application data) may be presented to a viewer in a player application.
