A video playing method and a terminal device and method including starting, by a terminal device, at least two playing instances based on an operation instruction of a user, where each of the at least two playing instances corresponds to a video display window, and where the video display window includes a first video display window and a second video display window, playing first channel content in the first video display window and playing second channel content in the second video display window according to a display mode selected by the user, detecting an operation gesture of the user on the first video display window or the second video display window, and adjusting playing modes of the first channel content and the second channel content according to the operation gesture of the user and a current display mode.

A display device configured as a multi display system is provided. The display device includes an input; a display; an output connected to an adjacent display device; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to control the output to insert image output information into at least one of frames of a first predetermined interval in a first image and frames of a second predetermined interval in a second image when the first image and the second image are received through the input, and to alternately transmit the frames of the first interval and the frames of the second interval to an adjacent display device, and to control the display to display some regions of one of the frames of the first interval and the frames of the second interval based on display layout information.

A UI for a HMD system includes a HMD configured to be worn by a surgeon. A tracker is configured to track head gestures by the surgeon. A footswitch is configured to detect foot motion inputs by the surgeon. A computer couples to the HMD, the tracker, and the footswitch. A user interface includes the HMD, tracker, and footswitch. The use interface is configured to: provide to the computer the head gesture in association with the foot motion input, and display an image relating to a surgical procedure on the HMD. The computer is configured to: apply the head gesture received in association with the foot motion input to perform a first action on the HMD system when the HMD system is in a first system mode, and perform a second action on the HMD system when the HMD system is in a second system mode.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, embodiments include providing video streams of video content to displays, each video stream includes a portion of the video content, determining that a viewer reaction to a first portion of the video content in a first video stream satisfies a viewer reaction threshold when the first video stream is presented on a first display, and determining that a sub-portion of the first portion of the video content caused the viewer reaction to satisfy the viewer reaction threshold in response to analyzing the first portion of the video content. Further embodiments include generating a second video stream of the video content, the second video stream comprises the sub-portion without a remainder of the first portion, and providing the second video stream to a second display. Other embodiments are disclosed.

In one aspect, a first device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive a cast command in response to input to a source device, and to establish a cast mode to cast content from the source device to a target device pursuant to the cast command. The cast mode may be established based at least in part on information appertaining to the target device. The instructions may also be executable to present the content on the target device in a first format responsive to establishing a first cast mode and to present the content on the target device in a second format responsive to establishing a second cast mode.

A media guidance application is provided by which users can define rules for assigning user equipment devices as destinations for media content. For example, a user may define a rule by which selected media content having attributes that satisfy a user-defined condition are downloaded, recorded, or streamed to a particular, user-specified user equipment device. The user may define and manage rules using media guidance menus, and may restrict other users from accessing the rules (e.g., parents restricting children).

An information embedded method is used with a broadcast source and a broadcast signal receiver using a unidirectional transmission medium. The information embedded method includes steps of: storing information-push files in the broadcast signal receiver during a first time period; the broadcast source delivering broadcast signals to the broadcast signal receiver through the unidirectional transmission medium during a second time period posterior to the first time period; and the broadcast signal receiver selecting one of the information-push files according to a predetermined rule and combining the broadcast signals and information content of the selected information-push file to form an information embedded program. An information embedded system includes the broadcast source and the broadcast signal receiver.
