    摘要: A disk bears a multimedia program and a player plays the program. The player is responsive to an image restraint token (IRT) to play the multimedia program only in a low resolution format and not in a high resolution format prior to an IRT expiration date. The player is then responsive to a key that is publicly available only on or after the expiration date and entered into the player to play the multimedia program in the high resolution format.

    摘要: In a home system in which a TV receives video from various sources over directional wireless links such as 60 GHz links, a mirror apparatus is provided that can be configured to physically steer a signal toward a receiver on the TV to optimize received signal strength. In this way, RF energy that otherwise would be radiated in non-productive directions away from the receiver is reflected toward the receiver.

    摘要: A television device has a display panel having a video display situated therein, the display panel being housed in a substantially rectangular housing. A support electronics housing separate from the display panel, is sized to be no wider than a standard household wall stud spacing and no deeper than a standard household wall cavity depth. The support electronics housing carries electronics that support use of the display panel as a television. One or more electrical cables electrically interconnects the support electronics housing with the display panel. An electronic video interface resides in the support electronics housing and having an electrical connector to provide video signals thereto. A power source resides in the support electronics housing that receives household electrical power and supplies electrical power to the display panel through the one or more electrical cables. A mounting bracket assembly mounts the display panel to a wall such that the rear surface is approximately flush with the wall. The support electronics can be situated remotely from the display panel to permit flush mounting of the display panel to the wall, and may be inserted into a wall cavity between wall studs. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

    摘要: In certain implementations, a method of displaying a branched chain of Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) video content involves providing a first stream of video content, the first stream of video content having a plurality of video features that appear during a plurality of associated time intervals in the first stream of video content; providing a collection of affiliate video streams related to the plurality of time intervals; providing a set of metadata that associates the time intervals with one of the plurality of affiliate video streams; playing the first stream of video content on an IPTV compatible player device to sequentially reveal the plurality of features of the first stream in their respective time relationships in the first stream via a display driven by the IPTV compatible player device; at the IPTV compatible player device, receiving a selection signal during the associated time interval that selects the video feature being displayed; upon receipt of the selection signal, the IPTV compatible player device accessing the metadata to identify a particular one of the collection of affiliate data streams that is associated with the time interval of the selected video feature; and the IPTV compatible player device ceasing to play the first stream of video content and beginning playing the associated one of the collection of affiliate data streams that is associated with the time interval of the selected feature; whereby, the viewer directly navigates from one stream of video content to an affiliate video. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
