Abstract:
A method and system for broadcast of additional content such as metadata required for client specific interactive application in an analog domain along with conventional audio, video and PSI or SI data is disclosed. The present invention enables transmission of encoded audio data or EPG data, timestamp information required for audio video synchronization referred to as metadata by embedding such metadata in the pixels of video pixels and then encoding by the standard video encoder to generate an encoded stream. The encoded stream is decoded using the standard video decoder at the receiving station to generate a Composite Video Blanking and Sync (CVBS) analog video signal. From the CVBS signal, the RGB or YUV pixels of the videos are extracted. Finally a data extractor module retrieves the embedded metadata from the RGB or YUV pixels.
Abstract:
A method and system for multiplexing of multiple channels of video data through a single analog broadcasting channel is disclosed. The method enables a spatial and temporal multiplexing of videos of each of the multiple channels. The multiplexed content is created as a result of multiplexing that is encoded to generate digital transport stream that is transmitted through analog medium. The system enables a STB receiver to decode each of the videos from the stream. At least one video from the multiple videos is played on the television based on user selection.

Abstract:
A system and method for displaying an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) data for a television channel of a viewer's choice along with simultaneous access to a plurality of applications while watching the television channel have been disclosed. The system of the present invention recognizes the logo of the currently viewed channel and based on the same establishes a communication link with the website of that channel, downloads and hyperlinks the EPG data and blends the data over a portion of the channel video content. Thus, viewers do not have to browse through the entire programme guide to view the programme details of a channel of their choice. Moreover, the hyper-linking enables viewers to access the website of that channel for additional information.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and method of effective physical data aggregation and its logical analytics by way of utilizing socially interacting and networking platforms to create meaningful association and relevancy between the captured physical data. The physical data associated by social networking platforms results in creation of reduced data set for analytics and requires low processing requirements for application usage.

Abstract:
A computerized method for recognition of a logo is described herein. The method comprises obtaining a plurality of feed frame of a feed video wherein the feed video has a logo embedded therein. At least one feed frame from the plurality of feed frames is compared with each template from a plurality of templates. For each template compared with the feed frame, a correlation parameter is computed and the logo is recognized based on the computing.
