Provided and described herein are, e.g., exemplary embodiments of systems, methods, procedures, devices, computer-accessible media, computing arrangements and processing arrangements in accordance with the present disclosure related to body signature recognition and acoustic speaker verification utilizing body language features. For example, certain exemplary embodiments can include a computer-accessible medium containing executable instructions thereon. When one or more computing arrangements executes the instructions, the computing arrangement(s) can be configured to perform certain exemplary procedures, including (i) receiving first information relating to one or more visual features from a video, (ii) determining second information relating to motion vectors as a function of the first information, and (iii) computing a statistical representation of a plurality of frames of the video based on the second information. Further, the computing arrangement(s) can be configured to provide the statistical representation to a display device and/or recording the statistical representation on a computer-accessible medium, for example.
摘要:
Techniques for updating software include downloading a software image update from a first data structure wherein the software update image includes one or more content identifiers. Content is then downloaded from a second data structure based on the one or more content identifiers. The content may then be output during or after the software update download and installation process.

A TV-set is equipped with HDMI and USB connections that allow it to display and run audio-video content from a variety of conventional consumer devices. The TV-set is further equipped to provide a secure HDMI-USB interface that will allow the transfer of licensed high definition content and Internet subscriber services. Such secure HDMI-USB interface also enables a selection of proprietary application modules to be attached. Downloadable user interface templates, much like XML style sheets, are rendered to a user interface displayed on the screen. These are associated with corresponding thumbnails and URI's that allow a user to surf through lists and catalogs of materials, and then to play them in the appropriate formats and provide the machine with a customized controller. A remote commander is simplified, yet expanded to control all the attached devices through interactions with the user interface. The functions of the remote commander's keys change depending on where the user is navigating and what device is being controlled, similar to so-called soft-keys.
