    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of operating a recommender system arranged for being coupled to a computer implemented social network (200). The present invention furthermore relates to a corresponding computer program and to a corresponding recommender system (100) arranged for being coupled to a computer implemented social network (200). In particular, the present invention relates to a recommender system (100) being configured to provide a recommendation (172) relating to a content item being highly discussed in the social network (200), without the recommendation being necessarily based on some kind of a correlation between characteristics of a recipient (10) of the recommendation on the one side and characteristics of content items to be recommended and/or characteristics of contacts/friends of the recipient (10) on the other side.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an apparatus, a method and a computer program product for adapting a document with actively selectable content, e.g., web-based content, for consumption in a lean-back mode. The document is rendered in a way that it can be optimally consumed in the lean-back mode. The multimedia content of the document (images, text, etc.) is transformed into a continuous information flow (e.g. video) that can be rendered as if it were a television channel, for example.

    摘要: A system (1) for producing a depth map of a video sequence comprises a client (C) and a server (S) connected by a network (N). A secondary video sequence (M*) available at the client (C) is derived from a primary video sequence (M) available at the server (S), the primary video sequence (M) having a primary depth map (D). The server comprises a transmission unit for transmitting the primary depth map (D) to the client. The client comprises an alignment unit for aligning the primary depth map (D) with the secondary video sequence (M*) so as to produce alignment information (AI), and a derivation unit for deriving the secondary depth map (D*) from the primary depth map (D) using the alignment information (AI).

    摘要: Method and device for providing a summary of a plurality of images, e.g. a video sequence. The method includes dividing the video sequence into a plurality of segments. The segments are analyzed with respect to content and a set of content descriptors are associated to the segments. Preferably, additional textual information about the segments, screenplay etc., is used to determine the content descriptors. A graph representing relations between the segments is constructed indicating relations between segments. Weights are associated to the relations so as to represent a measure of relation, e.g. a logical correlation, between segments. The weights are based on the calculated content descriptors. A relevance measure for a segment is determined based on all weights associated with relations to said segment. Finally, a summary is generated by selecting the most relevant segments. The method can create an automatic summary of a film that preserves all the logical plot of the original but is shorter in duration (e.g. 70% of the original film) while the original playback rate is preserved.

    摘要: A method and system for transmitting channels to at least one digital video recorder is described. A server receives at least one recording schedule from a plurality of digital video recorders (step 304). A subset of channels is selected from the channels associated with the at least one program identification of the received at least one recording schedule (step 306). Information is transmitted from the server to at least one of the plurality of digital video recorders, the information indicating channels associated with the at least one program identification of the at least one recording schedule that were not selected (step 308). The selected subset of channels is also transmitted from the server to at least one of the plurality of digital video recorders (step 310).

    摘要: A method of providing a report of experiences of members of a group of users includes: making available a content data compilation compiled from at least items of content data obtained in association with different members of the group;—obtaining data associated with at least one member of the group; and using the data associated with at least one member to cause at least one message to be output on at least one device (8-11) associated with at least one member of the group. At least part of the content data compilation is based on information provided in response to the at least one message by the at least one member with whom the device (8-11) is associated. In one embodiment, a “family news reporter” scenario is proposed.

    摘要: A device and a method for sharing resources in a network of peers are disclosed. A user may compile a wish list (420) of programs to be recorded on a recording device (400) that is a peer in the network. A resource list (421) is compiled of resources that the device shares within the network. The wish list and resource list are communicated to a coordinator (440) comprised within the network. The coordinator makes assignments of who records what and communicates an assignment list (422) to each peer. Each peer plans (405) and executes (407) the assigned recordings, which can be retrieved from a peer (410), or sent to the user device. Deletion control is applied to prevent the loss of recordings by deletion on a local peer. The coordinator may be comprised within a peer, as a standalone service within the network or implemented as a distributed algorithm between the peers.

    摘要: A method of suggesting accompaniment tracks for synchronised rendering with a content data item includes obtaining data descriptive of the content data item. A database query based at least partly on the data descriptive of the content data item to identify auxiliary content items to a user is resolved. The database (14;28) includes records, each configured to associate descriptive data with an auxiliary content data item for forming an accompaniment track. Data representative of a selection of an auxiliary content data item is received in association with the query, and a database record for the selected auxiliary content data item is caused to be amended to reflect the selection in association with at least part of the descriptive data included in the query.
