A service data pushing method is disclosed to prevent message pushing from affecting an operation that is currently performed in a device. The method includes establishing, by a second device, a communication connection with a first device according to triggering of a specified action, when the first device presents service push information; receiving, by the second device, related information of the service push information that is transmitted by the first device; and determining, by the second device, a pushing page corresponding to the service push information according to the related information, and presenting the pushing page to perform a corresponding service operation. The service push information is pushed by using the first device and is viewed by using the second device, so that video information currently played in the first device is not affected.

A transmitting apparatus includes a frame generator configured to map data included in an input stream to at least one signal processing path to generate a frame, an information inserter configured to insert signaling information to a signaling region of the frame, and a transmitter configured to transmit the frame with the signaling information inserted therein. The signaling information including input stream synchronizer (ISSY) mode information, receiver buffer size information required according to the ISSY mode information, and time information representing a time between a P1 symbol of a preset frame for transmitting a user packet and an output of a preset bit of a first user packet of the user packet.

Methods and apparatus to determine a state of a media presentation device are disclosed. Example disclosed methods include generating a first set of weighted coefficients based on first audio received by first and second microphones at a first time. Example disclosed methods include generating a second set of weighted coefficients based on second audio received by the first and second microphones at a second time after the first time. Example disclosed methods include comparing the first set of coefficients and the second set of coefficients to generate a similarity value. Example disclosed methods include, when the similarity value satisfies a threshold, determining that the media presentation device is in a first state. Example disclosed methods include, when the similarity value does not satisfy the threshold, determining that the media presentation device is in a second state.

A reception apparatus includes a plurality of reception units each corresponding to a communication path among a plurality of communication paths, and a generation unit configured to, in a case where the plurality of reception units receives a first data unit and a second data unit, generate the first data unit at a first time corresponding to a time at which the plurality of reception units has completed reception of data forming the first data unit, and generate the second data unit at a second time corresponding to a time at which the plurality of reception units has completed reception of data forming the second data unit.

A method is implemented to move media content display between two media output devices. A server system determines in a voice message recorded by an electronic device a media transfer request that includes a user voice command to transfer media content to a destination media output device and a user voice designation of the destination media output device. The server system then obtains from a source cast device instant media play information including information of a media play application, the media content that is being played, and a temporal position. The server system further identifies a destination cast device associated in a user domain coupled to the destination media output device, and sends to the destination cast device a media play request including the instant media play information, thereby enabling the destination cast device to execute the media play application for playing the media content from the temporal location.

A service management system communicates via wide area network with gateway devices located at respective user premises. The service management system remotely manages delivery of application services, which can be voice controlled, by a gateway, e.g. by selectively activating/deactivating service logic modules in the gateway. The service management system also may selectively provide secure communications and exchange of information among gateway devices and among associated endpoint devices. An exemplary service management system includes a router connected to the network and one or more computer platforms, for implementing management functions. Examples of the functions include a connection manager for controlling system communications with the gateway devices, an authentication manager for authenticating each gateway device and controlling the connection manager and a subscription manager for managing applications services and/or features offered by the gateway devices. A service manager, controlled by the subscription manager, distributes service specific configuration data to authenticated gateway devices.

Disclosed herein is a user interface apparatus for vehicles including light sources, a touch sensor to sense touch, light guides to transfer light generated by the light sources, and a top cover to cover the light sources, the touch sensor and the light guides and to transmit light emitted from the light guides to the interior of a vehicle. The light sources includes a first light source and at least one second light sources, the light guides includes first and second light guides to receive light generated by the first light source and to transfer the light to first and second regions and at least one third light guide configured to receive light generated by the at least one second light source and to transfer the light to a third region, and light generated by the first light source is dispersed and provided to the first and second light guides.
