BROADCASTING SIGNAL FRAME GENERATION APPARATUS AND METHOD USING LAYERED DIVISIONAL MULTIPLEXING
An apparatus and method for broadcast signal frame using layered division multiplexing are disclosed. An apparatus for generating broadcast signal frame according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a combiner configured to generate a multiplexed signal by combining a core layer signal and an enhanced layer signal at different power levels; a power normalizer configured to reduce the power of the multiplexed signal to a power level corresponding to the core layer signal; a time interleaver configured to generate a time-interleaved signal by performing interleaving that is applied to both the core layer signal and the enhanced layer signal; and a frame builder configured to generate a broadcast signal frame including a preamble for signaling time interleaver information shared by the core layer signal and the enhanced layer signal, using the time-interleaved signal.
Methods and systems for supplementing media assets during fast-access playback operations
Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application that enhances the viewer experience by providing supplemental content related to a media asset during a fast-access playback operation. For example, in response to a user input during a fast-forward or rewind operation, the media guidance application may generate for display supplemental content related to the progression point of the media asset at which the user input was received while the fast-forward or rewind operation continues.
CAMERA STAND WITH INTEGRATED TILT HINGE
A camera built into a cylindrical housing couples to a stand with a stand member that inserts into an opening having a magnet attracted to ferromagnetic material integrated in the stand member. The stand member holds the ferromagnetic material in an adapter interior that integrates a tilt hinge rotationally coupled to the stand member and fixedly coupled to the ferromagnetic material to provide tilt of the camera relative to the stand member about a rotation axis internal to the camera when the stand member adapter inserts in to the camera housing opening.

Systems and methods for loading interactive media guide data based on user history
Systems and methods for efficiently loading interactive media guide data based on user history are provided. A plurality of asset descriptions associated with a first media asset is received. A second media asset related to the first media asset is identified. An asset description is selected form the plurality of asset descriptions based on user history of accessing the second media asset. Data for the first media asset is loaded. Data for the first media asset comprises the selected asset description.
Imaging apparatus, image processing apparatus, display system, and vehicle
An imaging apparatus captures a rear area behind a vehicle and generates an image, and displays on the image at a position in the image corresponding to the position between the vehicle and a detection object a recognition image extending a predetermined distance in a height direction with respect to road surface and having transmittance that increases with height distance from the road surface. A display control apparatus simultaneously displays a bird's-eye view image of a vehicle, a rear area image behind the vehicle, and a guide image extending rearward and being spaced apart in the width direction of the vehicle, and displays an image on lower right or left of the bird's-eye view image based on a position of an obstacle existing on right or left rear side of the vehicle, and a second image on right edge or on left edge of the image outside the guide image.
DISPLAY APPARATUS, ITS CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
A display apparatus includes a display unit, an acquiring unit configured to acquire a captured image generated by capturing a displayed image, which is displayed by the display unit, by an image pickup apparatus, and a control unit configured to cause the display unit to display the captured image together with or instead of the displayed image. The control unit causes the display unit to stop displaying the captured image when the image pickup apparatus captures the displayed image.
Deep content tagging
A method and apparatus for deep content tagging. A media device receives one or more first frames of a content item, where the one or more first frames spans a duration of a scene in the content item. The media device detects one or more objects or features in each of the first frames using a neural network model and identifies one or more first genres associated with the first frames based at least in part on the detected objects or features in each of the first frames. The media device further controls playback of the content item based at least in part on the identified first genres.
Dynamic, interactive segmentation in layered multimedia content
Computer implemented systems and methods are described for providing layered multimedia content. Specifically, the systems and methods can analyze a content stream or file using software to identify objects present in the first content, which could include people, items, places, music, sounds, and so forth. One or more elements can be generated and overlaid on to the content, which allow a viewer of the content to access information about the object and/or purchase a product or service associated with the object. Such information can be presented to the viewer when the viewer clicks on or otherwise interacts with the element.
Television receiver wager staging
A television receiver may present live television programming along with a sports gaming interface that indicates various betting options that are selectable by a television viewer via a remote control. The television receiver may receive a selection of a betting option presented in the sports gaming interface. A request may then be sent to a mobile device of the television viewer. The television receiver may in response to the selection, transmit a bet identifier of the selected betting option and an account identifier to the television service provider system. After a user has funded the bet and completed the transaction via a mobile device, the sports gaming interface may indicate the active bet.
