Abstract: A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may perform operations, for example, including determining a first correlation value between a behavior of a first audience member and a subject matter being presented at a display processor, wherein the subject matter being presented at the display is observable by the first audience member. A second correlation value is determined between the behavior of the first audience member and a characteristic of an environment in a vicinity of the display and the first audience member. Responsive to the second correlation value exceeding the first correlation value, a determination is made as to whether a present channel selection resulting from user input initiated by the first audience member is responsive to the characteristic of the environment influencing the audience member more than the subject matter being presented at the display. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A system, computer-implemented method, and tangible computer-readable media for media playback. The method includes receiving a request from a user to play a media asset, detecting capabilities of the playback device, detecting playback environment acoustic characteristics, optimizing media playback settings for the playback device and the playback environment characteristics, preparing the media asset for playback on the playback device, and transferring the prepared media asset to the playback device for playback. The method can further transfer optimized playback settings to the playback device. Media asset preparation can be based at least in part on the optimized playback settings. A playback profile can store environment characteristics and playback device capabilities. The method continuously detects changes in the playback environment characteristics, and optimizes media playback settings when detected changes exceed a threshold.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a monitored display monitors data to be output from a monitored display. The monitored data is analyzed to generate one or more content identifiers. The content identifiers are compared to a set of rules to determine if the monitored data should be blocked from being output or if an alert should be transmitted to a supervisor device. One or more supervisor devices may be used to respond to alerts and may also be used to control the output of the monitored display.

Abstract: A system for managing a data stream that is transmitted to an environment is provided. The system includes a receiver that receives the data stream. The data stream includes a first program, with the first program configured to be displayed in the environment. An input receives information of an individual in the environment. A processor analyzes the information, determines a demographic descriptor of the individual based on the information, and correlates the demographic descriptor of the individual with a content of the first program to determine whether a predetermined condition is satisfied. The processor further determines a second program based on the demographic descriptor of the individual and modifies the first program based on the second program when the predetermined condition is satisfied.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for identifying a person in an image includes an image analyzer. The image analyzer determines the content of an image such as a person, location, and object shown in the image. A person in the image may be identified based on the content and event data stored in a database. Event data includes information concerning events and related people, locations, and objects determined from other images and information. Identification metadata is generated and linked to each analyzed image and comprises information determined during image analysis. Tags for images are generated based on identification metadata. The event database can be queried to identify particular people, locations, objects, and events depending on a user's request.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and media for filtering a data stream are provided. The data stream is partitioned into a plurality of data stream segments. An acoustic parameter of each of the data stream segments is measured, and it is determined whether the acoustic parameter of each of the data stream segments satisfies a predetermined condition. Extraneous segments of the data stream segments are identified in which the predetermined condition is satisfied, and it is determined whether the extraneous segments have a predetermined relationship in the data stream. The extraneous segments are deleted from the data stream to produce a filtered data stream in response to the extraneous segments having the predetermined relationship.
