A media server machine may be configured to provide media content within a datastream. This datastream may be provided to a media device that is configured to present the media content on a display. Also, this datastream may contemporaneously contain an “app-sync indicator” for the media content. The app-sync indicator is a data structure that signals the media device to launch an application on a companion device. By providing the app-sync indicator contemporaneously with the media content in the datastream, the launching of the application on the companion device may be synchronized with the media content. The app-sync indicator may specify the application to be launched. Also, the app-sync indicator may specify supplemental content to be presented by the launched application on the companion device.

A system and method for providing aggregated metadata for programming content is provided. In example embodiments, data regarding a program is collected from a third party source. The collected data is parsed to identify metadata for the program. The metadata collected from the third party source is merged with official metadata for the program to create aggregated metadata for the program. The aggregated metadata is stored to a metadata warehouse that is searchable.

Methods and systems for providing health care remotely via a television communication system are presented. In one example, a communication gateway configured to communicate with a head-end of a television communication system may receive information associating a user with the communication gateway. Health care information related specifically to the user, as well as a gateway identifier associated with the user, may be received at the gateway from the head-end. The health care information may be forwarded to a display communicatively coupled to the gateway based on the gateway identifier corresponding to the communication gateway.

A method and system control a return path to a source system in an interactive television environment. At the source system, a hint is generated based on information associated with the interactive television environment; and at the source system, the hint is broadcast to a plurality of receiver systems. Each receiver system determines whether to utilize the return path based on the hint.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for aggregating the data for a plurality of individualized programs into a single channel, and allocating the channel bandwidth as-needed for provision of short video programs on an "on demand" basis, so that the total bandwidth required to provide the individualized channels and associated video clips is substantially reduced. Also provided is a real-time, single-user-targeted individualized advertising associated with the viewer selection that personalizes the user's iTV experience. The advertisements are targeted in real-time based on an immediate interest revealed by the user in a search request for content. Short duration videos are provided so as not to over-tax the individualized "on demand" channel's limited bandwidth.

摘要:
With the aim of anticipating conditions which may lead to an accident, a method is proposed for detecting potential accident situations with a vehicle driven by a driver, said method comprising the following steps: - collecting behaviour data of the vehicle by sensors located in the vehicle, - obtaining a position of the vehicle, - transmitting the behaviour data and the position of the vehicle to a control centre, - selecting at least one traffic monitoring camera based on the position of the vehicle, - acquiring images by said traffic monitoring camera, these images comprising the vehicle, - transmitting these images to the control centre, - analysing the behaviour data for detecting a driver's abnormal condition, - analysing the images for detecting an abnormal condition of the vehicle, if the two analyses detect an abnormal condition, registering said vehicle in a probable accident list.
