摘要:
A method for invoking a software application comprising: executing a first application on a user device; detecting a trigger event on the user device, the trigger event is non-specific and external to the first application and a second application; invoking the second application in response to the trigger event; sending metadata from the first application to the second application; and performing an action in the second application based at least partially on the metadata received from the first application, wherein, the first application and the second application are not operating system processes, and the second application is separate and independent from the first application.

摘要:
The user of an Internet TV device can control the Internet TV device using a mobile device such as a smart phone. The smart phone also obtains program information from the Internet TV device and sends the information to a server as a search term, presenting supplemental program information received from the server on the display of the mobile device so that a person can browse the supplemental information without disturbing viewers of the Internet TV device. The mobile device can also grab a link related to the program from the Internet TV device and use that link as a recommendation to friends on social networking sites.
摘要:
A system includes a video display and a processor controlling the display. The processor accesses computer readable instructions to cause the processor to access a server associated with the service over a network responsive to viewer selection of a service. The processor then, without any viewer interaction, executes authentication with the server. Thereafter, responsive to successful authentication, the processor provides the service to a viewer at least in part by presenting an image associated with the service on the display. Responsive to the server indicating that a session for which the authentication is valid is expired, the processor automatically and without viewer input executes authentication with the server to establish a new session.
摘要:
Content selected by a user of a web access television (TV) device is monitored via a profile controller associated with the web access TV device. Social network aspects of a web access TV user profile are automatically configured based upon the monitored content selected by the user. Social networking opportunities for the user are managed via the web access TV user profile. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
摘要:
An audio video display device (AVDD) includes a display and a processor controlling the display to present an Internet-sourced program. Additionally, the processor causes the display to present a “share” selector element selectable by a user to cause a link associated with the program to automatically be sent to a friend device over a social networking site.
摘要:
A system, method, and computer program product for automatically analyzing multimedia data audio content are disclosed. Embodiments receive multimedia data, detect portions having specified audio features, and output a corresponding subset of the multimedia data and generated metadata. Audio content features including voices, non-voice sounds, and closed captioning, from downloaded or streaming movies or video clips are identified as a human probably would do, but in essentially real time. Particular speakers and the most meaningful content sounds and words and corresponding time-stamps are recognized via database comparison, and may be presented in order of match probability. Embodiments responsively pre-fetch related data, recognize locations, and provide related advertisements. The content features may be also sent to search engines so that further related content may be identified. User feedback and verification may improve the embodiments over time.
摘要:
Automated wireless three-dimensional (3D) video conferencing is provided using a tunerless television device. A 3D video conference is automatically established with a wireless device capable of 3D video conferencing using a wireless communication interface of the tunerless television device. A first and a second two-dimensional (2D) video stream are received, using a camera interface module, from a first and a second video camera associated with the tunerless television device. A merged 3D video stream is created from the first 2D video stream and the second 2D video stream using a 3D video offload processing module operatively coupled to the camera interface module. The merged 3D video stream is sent to the wireless device using the wireless communication interface. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
摘要:
An Internet-enabled TV that provides virtual channels to online services that source content responds to a viewer search query by passing the query only to services designated as “searchable” and that thus possess a search application programming interface (API) to return links directly to the content and not just to the hosting services.
