Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for sending an emergency alert message to a companion device. The apparatus includes a memory element and a processor coupled to the memory element. The processor is configured to receive an emergency alert message (EAM) in an advanced television systems committee (ATSC) signal. The processor is also configured to identify any companion devices that comprise a launcher application capable of being used by the apparatus. The processor is also configured to send a command to the launcher application capable of causing the launcher application to execute an application to an identified companion device that comprises the launcher application. The application is capable of accessing the EAM.
Abstract:
A method for content delivery using dynamic adaptive hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) streaming (DASH) without using HTTP. The method includes receiving a media presentation description (MPD) file and one or more DASH segments by a client device. Information in the MPD file is used to filter the one or more DASH segments. The filtered DASH segments are stored in a segments buffer. Particular DASH segments are requested from the segments buffer by the client device based on the information.
Abstract:
One embodiment provides a system comprising a menu navigation application module comprising a request unit for requesting menu metadata information associated with a piece of content, a menu interface unit for generating one or more menu interfaces based on the menu metadata information, and a menu navigation control unit for enabling user interaction with menu interfaces during playback of the piece of content. The menu interfaces and the piece of content are displayed on different devices. The menu interfaces are displayed without interrupting the playback of the piece of content.
