Abstract:
The disclosure herein relates to providing a video/audio event-driven platform in digital environments. Particularly, the disclosure relates to systems and methods for controlling the video/audio content stream within a video playing session, automatically responding to events allowing the user to continue in a preferred engagement. The methods support operating a media terminal to present a first segment of video content in a first presentation mode, while a second presentation mode, associated with detectable video content events, may be used for a second segment.
Abstract:
A method for converting touch functionalities to key operated functionalities, comprising: identifying a layout hierarchy structure of a plurality of user interface (UI) elements in an application; defining a plurality of areas of t UI, each corresponding with one of the plurality of UI elements having a touch responsiveness property; and activating a touch event of a UI element corresponding with a currently selected area when an activation key is pressed by said user.
Abstract:
A conference call system and method thereof for controlling audio channels in a conference call. In particular, the conference call system enables a common communication session in which multiple participants may control audio settings associated with other participants. Selective audio control of the associated channel may be used for muting or unmuting a specific communication device, adjusting the volume level of an audio signal received from a specific communication device, altering various additional parameters of an audio signal received from a specific communication device, and the like.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for displaying an overlay on top of media content are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a request for presentation of an overlay on top of the media content at a target position on the display screen is handled (e.g. by a local terminal) in accordance with a dynamically determined extent of interference caused by the overlay to the media content. In some embodiments, a modification to at least one overlay attribute of the overlay is computed in accordance with the determined extent of interference, and the modified overlay is display over the underlying media content. Examples of ‘overlay attributes’ include size, color, transparency and shape.
