摘要： Methods for monitoring quality metrics of a video session that uses traffic transmitted over a mobile video delivery network facility are disclosed. A method for monitoring quality of a video system that uses traffic transmitted over a mobile video delivery network facility may include monitoring the mobile video delivery network facility that handles at least a portion of the video traffic for the video session for information about the video traffic at a location of the mobile video delivery network facility and monitoring at least one user mobile device that plays the video delivered by the mobile video delivery network facility using a software development kit (SDK) that reports at least one media delivery quality metric.

摘要： In a general aspect, a system for media playback can include a first media playback device configured to receive a media stream from a media casting device over a data network, the first media playback device being a member of the media playback group and a second media playback device configured to receive the media stream, the second media playback device being a member of the media playback group. The first media playback device and the second media playback device can be collectively configured to designate one of the first media playback device and the second media playback device as a leader playback device of the media playback group. The playback device not designated as the leader playback device can be designated as a follower playback device of the media playback group. The first media playback device and the second media playback device can be further collectively configured to determine a clock offset between the leader playback device and the follower playback device. The leader playback device can be configured to receive a broadcast of the media stream over the data network; play the media stream; and provide the media stream to the follower playback device. The follower playback device can be configured to play the media stream in synchronization with the leader playback device based on the clock offset.

摘要： Implementations disclose leveraging aggregated network statistics for enhancing quality and user experience for live video streaming from mobile devices. A method includes receiving, by a processing device of a client device, a bandwidth parameter corresponding to aggregated network statistics for at least one of a current geographic location of the client device or a current network of the client device, initializing an upload quality parameter of an upload session based on the received bandwidth parameter, the upload session comprising upload of content from the client device, and modifying, by the processing device, the upload quality parameter throughout the upload session based on updated bandwidth parameters corresponding to aggregated network conditions for at least one of new geographic locations of the client device or new networks of the client device, the upload quality parameter to control a format of the upload session.

摘要： An external device may recognize, in the case of including a communication unit that executes communication via a communication path made up of a pair of differential transmission paths included in a transmission path, information relating to the communication unit thereof.A disk recorder transmits function information indicating that a communication unit (high-speed data line I/F 213) configured to execute communication with an external device via a communication path made up of a reserve line and an HPD line of an HDMI cable to a television receiver via a CEC line that is a control data line of the HDMI cable. The television receiver receives function information, whereby whether or not the disk recorder is an eHDMI-compatible device can be determined, and in the case of an eHDMI-compatible device, a compatible transmission format (application) can be recognized.

摘要： Provided is an information processing device capable of operating in accessibility mode of guaranteeing browsing corresponding to disability or functional degeneration of a body of an operator. A source device checks whether each sink device is in accessibility mode at the time of connection, and determines whether or not metadata for supporting disability (for example, audios, videos, texts, vibration information, or the like) is added to the sink device in the accessibility mode at the time of transmission of original image/audio data. The source device changes a metadata transmission method in accordance with whether the accessibility mode of each sink device is turned on or off.

摘要： A system and/or media network for rendering a media stream from one or more media rendering devices is disclosed. The media network may include one or more configurable peers, each configurable peer configurable as a rendering device, an observer, a processing device, a combination thereof, or the like. The system may be particularly suitable for use in remote locations, to generate a controlled and/or shared meeting topology within an uncontrolled media environment, and/or to generate an intense sound field amongst a group of participants from a collection of associated peers.

摘要： Disclosed herein are a method of providing advertisements without combining broadcast contents with advertisements, and a terminal performing the method. The terminal carried by a viewer checks a viewing condition of the viewer based on a beacon signal transmitted from a viewing device, and a separate service server provides a targeted advertisement to the terminal by using the viewing condition checked by the terminal.

摘要： One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for managing playback of digital content on two or more different playback devices. A playback device designated as a controller is associated with a playback device designated as a playback target. Association is implemented via a local network discovery protocol. The controller issues commands to the target, which then streams digital content directly from a content server. The controller is able to separately stream related digital content for independent, but synchronized playback. Server mediated operations, such as device activation and application installation, are advantageously enabled by explicit association between the controller and the target.

摘要： Systems and methods are described herein for providing a media guidance application that reduces an amount of time required to catch a user up to live media by selectively presenting to the user portions of important content that the user finds most important. For example, a first user and a second user may wish to catch-up on a mutually missed portion of media. Both users may be notified about an important event in the media. If the first user is a fan of a first actor in the media, the first user will be presented a description of the missed portion in relation the first actor. If the second user is a fan of a second actor in the media, the second user will be presented a description of the missed portion in relation the second actor. Therefore, each respective user, will catch-up on content from the missed portion that he or she respectively finds most important.
