摘要:
The invention relates to an apparatus (100), a video system, a method and a corresponding computer program and a computer readable medium for managing a personal channel (210) of a user (200). The apparatus (100) is configured to control a search engine (300) with a specified search string (132) that the apparatus (100) has generated by combining a predefined search string (122) and a metadata piece (214). Thereby, the apparatus (100) retrieves a non-linear content (314) item being similar to a specific linear content item being referenced by the metadata piece and causes a recommendation (152) to the user (200) to add the retrieved non-linear content item to his personal channel (210).
摘要:
A method of operating an apparatus for displaying content items on a display, a corresponding computer program for operating an apparatus and an apparatus for displaying content items on a display that is arranged for being coupled to the apparatus are provided. In particular, an apparatus is configured to display a plurality of content items in a two-dimensional grid in dependence of a respective relatedness between a selected content item and one of the content items to be displayed. The selected content item is positioned at a center of the display and the related content items are displayed such that associated relatedness values decrease both in left, right, up and down direction with respect to the center position. A user terminal that comprises such apparatus is provided.
摘要:
A method of providing a report of experiences of members of a group of users includes: making available a content data compilation compiled from at least items of content data obtained in association with different members of the group; —obtaining data associated with at least one member of the group; and using the data associated with at least one member to cause at least one message to be output on at least one device (8-11) associated with at least one member of the group. At least part of the content data compilation is based on information provided in response to the at least one message by the at least one member with whom the device (8-11) is associated. In one embodiment, a “family news reporter” scenario is proposed.
摘要:
A method and system for transmitting channels to at least one digital video recorder is described. A server receives at least one recording schedule from a plurality of digital video recorders (step 304). A subset of channels is selected from the channels associated with the at least one program identification of the received at least one recording schedule (step 306). Information is transmitted from the server to at least one of the plurality of digital video recorders, the information indicating channels associated with the at least one program identification of the at least one recording schedule that were not selected (step 308). The selected subset of channels is also transmitted from the server to at least one of the plurality of digital video recorders (step 310).
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of operating an apparatus for displaying content items on a display, a corresponding computer program for operating an apparatus and to an apparatus (100) for displaying content items on a display (410) that is arranged for being coupled to the apparatus (100). In particular, the present invention relates to an apparatus (100) that is configured to display a plurality of content items in a two-dimensional grid (300) in dependence of a respective relatedness between a selected content item (A) and one of the content items to be displayed. The selected content item is positioned at a center of the display (410) and the related content items are displayed such that associated relatedness values decrease both in left, right, up and down direction with respect to the center position. The invention furthermore relates to a user terminal (400) that comprises such apparatus.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for creating recommendations for a user is described. A user input relating to an item is received (step 200). A hierarchy of categories is determined from the metadata of the item (step 204). A rating of at least one category within any one level of the hierarchy is received (step 208). Recommendations for the user are created based on at least the received rating of the at least one category (step 210).
摘要:
The present invention relates to an apparatus, a method and a computer program product for controlling a recommender system, wherein a bias is applied to the output of a recommender in order to favour newly added services and content sources. The bias may decay in time and/or with the number of ratings given to content coming from the new service.
摘要:
A user of a mobile client requests electronic content information for being downloaded via a data network. The client first receives a semantically summarized version of the requested content information. If the downloading is prematurely interrupted, the user has at least a meaningful summary available.
摘要:
The invention describes a system (1) for generating audio-visual summaries for audio-visual program content (3). The system comprises a search unit (4) for locating a pre-generated text summary (5;) associated with the program content (3); a speech synthesizer (6) for converting the text summary (5,) into speech (7); a video 5 summary generator (8) for generating a video summary (9) of the audio-visual program content (3), and an audio/video mixer (10) for mixing the synthesized speech (7) with the video summary (9). Moreover the invention describes an appropriate method for generating audio-visual summaries (5i) for audio-visual program content (3).
摘要:
A system (1) for producing a depth map of a video sequence comprises a client (C) and a server (S) connected by a network (N). A secondary video sequence (M*) available at the client (C) is derived from a primary video sequence (M) available at the server (S), the primary video sequence (M) having a primary depth map (D). The server comprises a transmission unit for transmitting the primary depth map (D) to the client. The client comprises an alignment unit for aligning the primary depth map (D) with the secondary video sequence (M*) so as to produce alignment information (AI), and a derivation unit for deriving the secondary depth map (D*) from the primary depth map (D) using the alignment information (AI).
