    摘要: An online system provides video data to client devices for presentation to users. Various client devices include a gaze tracking system that identifies locations within the video data where users' gazes were directed at different times during presentation of the video data and provides the identified locations to the online system. Based on characteristics of the users and of the video data, the online system generates a model determining likelihoods of a user's gaze being directed to different locations within the video data at different times. When the online system selects the video data for presentation to a target user, the online system applies the model to the target user and the video data. Based on the resulting likelihoods, the online system modifies resolutions of different locations of the video data when providing the video data to a client device for presentation to the target user.

    摘要: Methods, a system, and apparatus for managing the separation and distribution of digital controls wherein the digital content in a network system includes receiving a request from any one of control devices, host server response to control device request (and output devices), host server may either non-discriminatively or discriminatively broadcast to any of the control devices, and control device handling responses throughout home network system. The methods, system, and computer readable medium include user experience optimized application types for (optimally) separating and distributing the associated control and associated status information elements during active sessions from the host server to the control devices and output devices within a network system. Configuring a control session comprises receiving a request to execute an input/output application from a control application executing on a mobile control device Configuring the control session also includes aggregating a plurality of real-world connectable processing nodes into an application session set of processing nodes by allocating at least one function required by the input/output application for execution on each processing node in the set of processing nodes, wherein the set of processing nodes is determined based on processing requirements of the input/output application.

    摘要: A system and method for sending multimedia to a remote television. Credential information associated with at least a first user and a second user is stored. A request is received from a mobile device associated with the first user to share multimedia with a destination television associated with the second user. It is determined whether the second user is authorized to receive the multimedia from the first user using the stored credential information. A connection is established between the mobile device and the destination television after determining that the second user is authorized to receive the multimedia. The multimedia is transmitted to the destination television in real-time. The multimedia is stored no more than transiently during transmission from the mobile device to the destination television.
