    摘要: Features of various implementations are used to enable delivery of matched functionality, content and/or services, as a part of an interactive television suite of technologies. In some implementations, a content delivery process is enabled so that communication between the primary TV receiver and a supplemental set-top box is reduced in order to avoid the need for one or more provider-specific APIs. For example, one aspect of the disclosure is a method of identifying a media program by capturing display data from the media program, and extracting text from the display data in response to determining that the display data includes the text overlay, wherein the extracted text is associated with the media program. In some implementations, a supplemental set-top box is configured to operate a primary TV receiver, without a provider-specific API, in order to determine the channel line-up available to a particular subscriber through the primary TV receiver.

    摘要: A method and system displaying the output from an application on a fixed orientation display is disclosed. The method is performed at an application stored on an electronic device. The application sends a request to display output from the application in a second orientation with second dimensions. The application receives from the electronic device a notification that a display associated with the electronic device is a fixed orientation display with a first orientation and first dimensions and a notification that the requested second orientation and second dimensions are different from the first orientation. The application then determines optimal dimensions to display the output from the application based on the first orientation and first dimensions associated with the fixed display. The application then scales output data to match the determined optimal dimensions. The application then sends the scaled output data to the device for display on the fixed display.

    摘要: A method is implemented at an electronic device for displaying output from an application on a fixed orientation display. The electronic device includes a display module and an application that are distinct from each other. The application sends a request to display output from the application in a second orientation with second dimensions, and receives from the electronic device information indicating that a display associated with the electronic device is a fixed orientation display with a first orientation and first dimensions. The application then determines a standard aspect ratio designated for a type of the first application. The output from the application is thereby scaled based on the standard aspect ratio and the first dimensions of the target display device for display by the display module on the fixed orientation display.
