Abstract: Various aspects of a video processing device and method for display control includes detection, from a sequence of image frames received from a video source, a transition from one or more frames associated with a first metadata to one or more other frames associated with a second metadata. First visual properties of the one or more frames are determined based on the first metadata. Second visual properties of the one or more other frames are determined based on the second metadata. The determined second visual properties of the one or more other frames are controlled in accordance with the determined first visual properties of the one or more frames to enable a smooth transition.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining location of a digital broadcast receiver. The system includes the digital broadcast receiver receiving digital broadcasting, and at least one computing device configured to determine a location of the device. In one embodiment the receiver communicates with the at least one nearby location-enabled device and receives a device location. In one embodiment the system uses acoustic pings to determine the proximity of the device to the receiver.

Abstract: Various aspects of a system and method for information processing are disclosed herein. The method includes capturing a set of images associated with an item by a first electric device. The set of images comprises one or more images of the item and/or an associated location where the item is stored. A user input that corresponds to the captured set of images associated with the item is received. A first set of information is extracted from the captured set of images and the received user input. The extracted first set of information is communicated to the server. A second set of information associated with the item is retrieved by the server from the extracted first set of information in response to a query received from a second electronic device.

Abstract: Various aspects of a system related to communication of emergency alert messages are disclosed herein. The system comprises one or more circuits in an electronic device communicatively coupled to a broadcast server. The one or more circuits are configured to register one or more output preferences based on one or more input parameters provided by a user. An emergency alert message and associated metadata of an emergency event is received from the broadcast server. The associated metadata includes time-sensitive information of the emergency event. Based on the associated metadata and the registered one or more output preferences, the received emergency alert message is modified to a user-accessible format. According to the registered one or more output preferences, the modified emergency alert message is communicated to the user.

Abstract: A display system includes a display device and a server. The server receives a plurality of audio segments from a plurality of audio-capture devices. The server receives a user-input that corresponds to a selection of a first user interface (UI) element that represents a first performer-of-interest or a first audio-capture device attached to the first performer-of-interest. The server detects a second performer-of-interest associated with a second audio-capture device within a threshold range of the first audio-capture device. The server extracts a first audio segment of a first vocal deliverance of the first performer-of-interest and a second audio segment of a second vocal deliverance of the second performer-of-interest. The server deduces new caption information from a first verbatim text that is common between the first audio segment and the second audio segment and controls display of the new caption information on the display device.

Abstract: An acoustic-based Direction of Arrival (DoA) system uses acoustic information to determine the direction of incoming sound, such as a person talking. The direction of the sound is then used to focus a laser-based time of flight (ToF) system to narrow the area of laser illumination, improving the signal to noise ratio because laser illumination is focused on the direction of the sound. The DoA system also provides elevation information pertaining to the source of the sound, to further narrow the required field of view of the laser ToF system.
