Abstract: A media rendering device and method for generation of a simplified user interface are provided. The media rendering device determines a user profile of a user of the media rendering device. The media rendering device includes a plurality of user interface modes including a specific user interface mode associated with a plurality of user interface elements. The media rendering device determines a first user interface mode based on the user profile. The first user interface mode may be associated with a first subset of user interface elements of the plurality of user interface elements. The media rendering device generates a graphical user interface (GUI) based on the first subset of user interface elements. The media rendering device controls a display device to display the generated GUI.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus is coupled with an ultraviolet light source. The electronic apparatus acquires information associated with a first object. The acquired information relates to one of a location of the first object, a distance between the first object and the ultraviolet light source, or an angular orientation of the first object from the ultraviolet light source. The electronic apparatus determines, based on the acquired information, one or more control parameters for the ultraviolet light source to disinfect the first object. The one or more control parameters relate to at least one of an amount of time for emission of the ultraviolet light, a wavelength of an ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet light source, or an inclination of the emitted ultraviolet light. The electronic apparatus controls, based on the determined one or more control parameters, the ultraviolet light source to disinfect the first object.

Abstract: A media rendering device and method for reproduction control of scene description is provided. The media rendering device retrieves media content that includes a set of filmed scenes and text information. The text information includes video description information and timing information. The video description information describes a filmed scene in the set of filmed scenes. The media rendering device further extracts the timing information to reproduce the video description information from the text information of the filmed scene. The media rendering device further controls the reproduction of the video description information in either a textual representation or in a textual and audio representation at a first-time interval indicated by the extracted timing information of the filmed scene.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus and method for retransmission of signals using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is disclosed. The electronic apparatus includes a controller to control a movement of a UAV to a location within a signal coverage area associated with a remote transmitter. The electronic apparatus further includes receiver circuitry disposed on the UAV to receive a first signal from the remote transmitter. The first signal corresponds to a first wireless communication standard. The electronic apparatus further includes a signal processor to process the first signal to obtain a second signal and transmission circuitry to control one or more antennas disposed on the UAV to transmit a beam of the second signal to an electronic device that includes one or more receivers. The second signal corresponds to a second wireless communication standard which is same as or different from the first wireless communication standard.

Abstract: A content distribution system and method for distribution-side generation of captions is disclosed. The content distribution system receives media content including video content and audio content associated with the video content and generates a first text based on a speech-to-text analysis of the audio content. The content distribution system further generates a second text that describes audio elements of a scene associated with the media content. The audio elements are different from a speech component of the audio content. The content distribution system further generates captions for the video content based on the first text and the second text and transmits the generated captions to an electronic device via an Over-the-Air (OTA) signal, via a cable, or via a streaming Internet connection.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided for control of an execution of a third-party application based on a blacklisting function. The electronic device includes circuitry that executes a monitor application that is a part of an operating system rooted onto the electronic device. The monitor application has system privileges to examine the code and execution of the third-party application installed on the electronic device. The circuitry identifies, by the monitor application, one or more requests to access a network resource from a runtime code of the third-party application. The circuitry extracts, by the monitor application, one or more first network resource identifiers associated with the network resource from the one or more requests. The circuity compares, by the monitor application, the first network resource identifiers with the blacklist associated with the monitor application. The circuitry controls, by the monitor application, the execution of the third-party application based on the comparison.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for disinfection of an object. The apparatus includes a rotatable platform, a reflective surface on the rotatable platform, and a transmissive base to carry the object. The apparatus acquires information associated with the object, which includes one of a size of the object, a relative position, or an angular orientation of the object with respect to an ultraviolet light source. The apparatus determines one or more control parameters based on the acquired information, which includes one of a distance between the transmissive base and the reflective surface, a time period, or a speed of rotation of the rotatable platform. Based on the one or more control parameters, the apparatus controls a movement of the transmissive base and the rotation of the rotatable platform, to cause the reflective surface to reflect an ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet light source onto the object, via the transmissive base.
