Abstract:
Examples are disclosed for transmitting video content. In some examples, cyclic redundancy check (CRC) values may be added to video content for video frames to be presented or displayed in a given region of a display. Results of CRC functions for consecutive video frames that use the added CRC values may be compared to determine whether the video content for the consecutive video frames is static video content. Video content for at least one of the consecutive video frames may be withheld from being transmitted if the video content for the consecutive video frames is characterized as static video content. Multiple CRC values or different CRC values may be added to further determine whether video content for the consecutive video frames or for subsequent consecutive video frames is also characterized as static video content. Other examples are described and claimed.
Abstract:
This disclosure pertains to Theremin-based positioning. In general, Theremin technology may operate based on changes in frequency that may be induced in a signal when a certain object (e.g., a user's hand) is proximate to a capacitive electrode. An example system may comprise at least four capacitive electrodes in an arrangement that reacts to proximate objects. A change in frequency sensed for any of the at least four capacitive electrodes may trigger a determination of distance from each of the capacitive electrodes to the object based on the frequency change, and a determination of object positioning data based on the distances. Embodiments may include, for example, the ability to verify the arrangement of the at least four capacitive electrodes, determine object position and/or orientation in a coordinate system referenced to the at least four capacitive electrodes, determine object motion, provide the positioning data to a requesting application, etc.
Abstract:
Technology for receiving streaming media content is disclosed. A media presentation description (MPD) for the streaming media content can be received at a user equipment (UE). A streaming interval can be selected for the streaming media content. A power consumption level can be calculated for receiving the streaming media content at each of a plurality of media content representations that are described in the MPD. A media content representation can be selected from the plurality of media content representations based on: the power consumption level associated with receiving the streamed media content at the media content representation; and power status information for the UE, using the one or more processors of the UE. The streaming media content can be received at the selected media content representation, at the UE, in accordance with the streaming interval. The streaming media content can be played at the UE.
