摘要: Systems and methods for creating video watch parties are shown and described. Video and audio data indicative of the content being displayed on a plurality of smart TVs is compared to stored data in a content recognition database to determine what content is being viewed by each of a plurality of viewers at a given time. Viewers watching the same content are invited to become members of a watch party, and the televisions of those who accept the invitation are operatively connected to one another in a peer-to-peer network, enabling them to view the watch party content on a watch party screen that displays the watch party content and images or graphical icon representations of each other member of the watch party who is watching the content. Watch party participants can communicate with one another on the watch party display orally, using text messages in a text message area of the display, or by projecting emojis in the content region of other participants' displays.

摘要: A single stream receiver is preselected from a global list residing on a client computing device hosting a content casting application. Once a user launches a content casting application and selects a content stream from local or networked storage, the content casting application accesses the global list to obtain the ID of the stream receiver to receive the content stream. The global list has at least one preselected stream receiver ID that will receive a casted content stream without the user having to manually select a stream receiver for each stream that is casted. The preselected stream receiver can be the last one that was used, or can be the last one that was used for a specified user, or the last one that was used for a specified application. The stream receiver can be preselected in some other way.

摘要: Techniques to ensure that a content stream will be encrypted prior to it being served it to the stream receiver if either the stream receiver returned an initial status to the stream caster indicating that only encrypted streams will be accepted or if the user of the stream caster optioned that only encrypted streams will be cast. A stream casting device is capable of locally sourcing and encrypting streams. A content stream server is capable of sourcing encrypted streams and encrypting streams on the fly. A stream receiver device is also described. The system manages key exchanges, encryption, and decryption across the devices serving streams, and stream receiving devices. The casted streams, residing on either a content stream server or on the stream casting devices will be encrypted prior to being served.

摘要: An infra-red assembly for a television, that has a plurality of layers operating for creating an image from pixels formed of illuminated color filters. The plurality of layers including a backlight, a polarization layer adjacent the backlight, a TFT layer over the polarization layer, an LCD layer overlying the TFT layer, and a color filter layer overlying the LCD layer. Wherein at least one of the layers includes an opening, and another of said layers includes an infrared filter that passes infrared and blocks light that is not infra red, and where another of said layers underlying said infrared layer includes an infrared receiver that receives the infrared through said opening and said infrared filter, and where said opening and said filter and said receiver are located in registration with one another, such that infrared passes through the opening and passes through the filter and passes to the receiver.
