    摘要: A camera on a vehicle captures an image of the surroundings, and the image is presented in a window of the vehicle that is established by a transparent display such as an OLED display or transparent LCD display. The image from the camera is presented on the display according to the angle of the camera with respect to the vehicle, such that an occupant of the vehicle sees the image on the window substantially in the same relative location with respect to the surroundings as the occupant would see looking at the objects in the image through the window. In other embodiments images from a database are presented on the window superimposed onto background objects seen through the window.

    摘要: A reception apparatus includes receiver and processing circuitry. The receiver circuitry is configured to receive a broadcast stream including a service list table (SLT) and a digital rights management (DRM) data service. The SLT includes service information for the DRM data service. The processing circuitry is configured to extract the service information for the DRM data service from the received broadcast stream. The service information for the DRM data service includes a DRM system identifier. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire DRM information from the DRM data service when the DRM system identifier included in the service information for the DRM data service corresponds to a DRM system that is supported by the reception apparatus.

    摘要: A display device “app” maintains the processor and graphics chip of the device energized but deenergizes the display responsive to an “off” command. The energized components are used in the background for cooperative computer tasks such as bitcoin mining that can lead to remuneration, with any remuneration so received being credited to an account. When a viewer wished to view content that requires payment, the account is debited accordingly, and no further payment is demanded, and advertisements are omitted from the content. Should the account be short of necessary funds to pay for the demanded content, the “app” can present advertisements in the content and/or require input of payment.

    摘要: A camera senses a direction in which a viewer such as a person whose vision is impaired by macular degeneration is looking. If the gaze is not straight ahead toward an audio video device (AVD) on which the camera may be mounted, visual impairment may be deduced, and a visual and/or audible accessibility menu automatically invoked. The AVD, for example, can play an audible prompt on speakers asking if the viewer would like to turn on a screen reader. This is especially advantageous where sighted and un-sighted persons share a common space with an AVD.

    摘要: Content substitution and/or picture-in-picture technology is used to provide a sign language window that provides a sign language interpretation of audio content in main program audio/video content. The sign language window can be selectively disabled by a user that does not wish to view the sign language video. Also, in some implementations, the user can move the sign language window to a desired location on the display. The desired location may be one of a plurality of pre-defined display locations. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
