In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing a live lyrics overlay in a social messaging environment. The system can utilize advances in three-dimensional mapping technology that allow social messaging services, to offer real time video lenses or overlays to their users, and extends this three-dimensional mapping technology to support for lyrics. During creation of a video with lyrics lens overlay, the lyrics corresponding to a selected song are retrieved from a lyrics source, and are displayed within the video. For example, with the lyrics lens, a user can record an image of themselves on live video, singing along to a song clip, with the lyrics of the song displayed as if they appear to be coming from their mouths. The created live lyrics content can also be shared with other users of a social messaging environment.

A computing device operates to receive, from at least a first peer device, a set of metadata that includes one or more identifiers to media playback resources. The computing device operates to determine one or more filters for the set of metadata. A metadata from the set of metadata is selected based on the one or more filters. A search request is provided to a network service for a media playback resource based on the selected metadata.

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for adapting playback bit rate to available delivery bandwidth in a content delivery system comprising a content server and a content player. A content player periodically estimates whether a given playback bit rate can feasibly provide complete playback for a given title assuming currently available bandwidth. If playback becomes unfeasible at a current bit rate assuming currently available bandwidth, then the content player adapts the bit rate downward until a feasible bit rate is achieved. If playback is feasible using a higher bit rate, then the content player may adapt the bit rate upward.

Television sets or television receivers (set-top boxes) generally do not have an NFC interface. There is no interest in equipping these devices as the NFC communication range is short and it would be necessary to be placed very close to the device to carry out a transaction. The aim of the present invention is to propose a solution offering the possibility to use a NFC portable device (card or smartphone) during transactions via the television set. This solution consists of a remote control for controlling a television receiver, said remote control comprising communication means for communicating with said receiver, characterized in that it further comprises an active NFC reader for communicating with an active or passive NFC device and means for transmitting the information received from said NFC device to the receiver via the communication means.

The present invention provides an information displaying apparatus which efficiently arouses an interest of the audience member to content to be displayed. An information displaying apparatus (10) includes: a displaying unit (14) which displays first content on a display; an audience state detecting unit (11) which detects an audience state representing a physical state of an audience member positioned in front of the display; an interest degree estimating unit (12) which estimates an interest degree based on the audience state detected by the audience state detecting unit (11), the interest degree indicating a degree of interest of the audience member in the first content displayed on the display by the displaying unit (14); and a display control unit (13) which causes the displaying unit (14) to display second content with a clarity degree or an exposure degree of at least a part of the second content reduced below a predetermined clarity degree or a predetermined exposure degree when magnitude of a change rate of the interest degree estimated by the interest degree estimating unit (12) is smaller than a first threshold.
摘要:
A portable wireless communications subscriber audio and/or video player apparatus and system and method for selecting, requesting, downloading, and playing audio and/or video data content files from an Internet-based database server. The wireless link is preferably implemented in accordance with the WiFi protocol, which allows connectivity to the Internet by being in proximity with a local base station or WiFi hotspot (i.e., publicly available local wireless access hub connected to the Internet). The portable wireless communications subscriber audio and/or player apparatus and system preferably include a security means for monitoring and blocking unauthorized use of the player apparatus and system. The player apparatus further preferably has the capability to communicate with other neighboring player apparatus for the purpose of exchanging content data files, playlists and personal messages
摘要:
A system and method for providing content for access by a portable device at an event are provided. The system includes an interface to receive signals from a plurality of sources. The plurality of sources are located at an event and remote from the event. The signals define event content and non-event content. The system further includes a processor for processing the received signals to generate combined signals based upon the received signals from the plurality of sources. The system also includes a transmitter for transmitting to a plurality of portable devices at the event the combined signals. The combined signals are configured to allow a user to select content using the portable device receiving the combined signals.
摘要:
A system and method for scheduling the receipt of desired movies and other forms of data from a network which simultaneously distributes many sources of such data to many customers, as in a cable television system. Customer profiles are developed for the recipient describing how important certain characteristics of the broadcast video program, movie or other data are to each customer. From these profiles, an 'agreement matrix' (908) is calculated by comparing the recipient's profiles to the actual profiles of the characteristics of the available video programs, movies, or other data. The agreement matrix (908) thus characterizes the attractiveness of each video program, movie, or other data to each prospective customer. 'Virtual' channels are generated from the agreement matrix (908) to produce a series of video or data programming which will provide the greatest satisfaction to each customer. Feedback paths (1020, 1024) are also provided so that the customer's profiles and/or the profiles of the video programs or other data may be modified to reflect actual usage, and so that the data downloaded to the customer's set top terminal (620) may be minimized. Kiosks (figure 11) are also developed which assist customers in the selection of videos, music, books, and the like in accordance with the customer's objective profiles.
