摘要:
The invention relates to a method for broadcasting video sequences by a server to a client terminal, that comprises the following steps: generation (101) of a request by the client terminal after the occurrence of an event; sending (101) the request to the server, the request including a video broadcasting order defining a transition between a parent state and a child state, each state being associated with a static final image and the server including storing means for storing an identifier of each state, a transition table starting from each state and compressed data corresponding to a video sequence associated with a transition from one state to the other; verification (102) by the server that the child state associated with the broadcasting order is a known state in the transition table starting from the parent state; if the child state is a state known by the server and if the stored compressed data corresponding to the video sequence associated with the transition is available: broadcasting (103) the compressed data to the terminal; if the child state is a state known by the server and if the stored compressed data corresponding to the video sequence is not available: broadcasting (104) to the terminal at least the last image of the video sequence associated with the transition; if the child state is not a known state: broadcasting (113) at least the last image of the video sequence to the terminal.

A system is presented providing content to a plurality of handheld devices (including musical selections). The devices can access a server over the Internet via a Wi-Fi or other similar wireless interconnection and can download songs requested by a user from the server or from other users using, e.g., a P2P protocol. All downloads may be governed by applicable DRM rules. Content and playlists may also be pushed by a server from other sources and means including, e.g., podcasting, based on predetermined rules, favorite preferences of users, and other criteria.

The present invention provides systems and methods for providing television schedule information to a viewer, and for allowing the viewer to link, search, select and interact with information in a remote database, e.g., a database on the internet. The television schedule information can be displayed on a variety of viewer interfaces, such as television screens (32), computer monitors (10), PCTV screens (362) and the like. The television schedule information may be stored on the viewer's computer (10), television (32), PCTV (362), or a remote server (350), or the television schedule information may be downloaded from a remote database to the viewer's computer (10), television (32) or PCTV (362).

The present invention relates to home devices such as set-top boxes, and more particularly to methods providing autonomous file transfers to and from such home devices. There is provided a method for spreading notifications pertaining to the completion of file transfers in time. The method is based on the concept of imposing different delay times on different devices, which delay times must be observed prior to notifying the server of a file transfer completion.

A game apparatus (10) provides a game that, on the basis of a game history of a player, conditions an amount for the player to move a body part of the player, and thereby moves an object arranged in a virtual space. The object is related to a conditioning parameter and a position in the virtual space. The acceptor (12) detects a position of a predefined body part of the player in a real space. The obtainer (13) obtains a movement direction and a movement distance of the predefined body part from detected positions. The mover (14) moves the object in the movement direction on the basis of the obtained movement distance, the conditioning parameter, and the position of the object. The changer (16) changes the conditioning parameter depending on a history of the player.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method of content retrieval and a program which facilitate recognizing content details of a moving image by displaying a retrieval result for each of a plurality of images. A metadata extracting unit 22 extracts metadata such as information of a representative image from content which is supplied from a content input unit 21 and stores the metadata in a metadata database 24. An image feature quantity extracting unit 23 extracts image feature quantity from content and stores the image feature quantity in an image feature quantity database 25 while extracting image feature quantity from a retrieval image as well. A retrieving unit 27 compares the image feature quantity of the retrieval image with the image feature quantity stored in the image feature quantity database 25 and specifies a still image which is similar to the retrieval image. An output unit 28 reads metadata of the content, generates display data to be necessary for performing timeline displaying, and further, generates display data for displaying a retrieval result on a timeline.
