Various arrangements for facilitating smart television content receivers in a local network are provided. A primary television receiver executing a first operating system can receive audio data including human voice from a voice enabled remote control. The primary television receiver can transmit the audio data to a secondary television receiver executing a second operating system and that includes a voice command component. The secondary television receiver can convert the audio data into voice command data and transmit the voice command data to the primary television receiver. The primary television receiver can transmit the voice command data to a voice processing server via the Internet and receive, in response, a command generated based on the voice command data. The primary television receiver can transmit the command to the secondary television receiver. The voice command component can then control an operation of the secondary television receiver based on the command.

A system, apparatus, and method of promoting and discovering items related to programming content are disclosed. In one aspect, the system includes a first interface to a programming content supplier system, the first interface configured to receive data relating to any items available for promotion that are displayed in the programming content. The system includes a second interface to one or more promotion systems, wherein each promotion system includes item details on the items available for promotion, the second interface configured to receive, from a promotion system, item details. The system includes a promotion generator configured to match items displayed in the programming content with the items available for promotion from the promotion system. The system includes an interface generator configured to display items that are available for promotion to a user, and provide the user with an option to accept a promotion associated with the displayed items.

A video playing method includes: transmitting, in response to detecting a user input on a target control in a map display interface, a first acquisition request, the first acquisition request being used for acquiring target video data corresponding to the target control; receiving response information for the first acquisition request, and acquiring the target video data based on the response information; and displaying a video window on the map display interface, the video window being used for playing the target video data.

Systems and methods are provided for generating a trackable video-based product. One method comprises receiving a video comprising a plurality of frames from a video database; receiving product information associated with at least one product for sale from a product database; and receiving annotation data linking the received product information to at least one of the plurality of frames from a metadata database. The method may further comprise modifying a database to include a link between the at least one of the plurality of frames and the product information and generating an augmented video using the annotation data and the received video. The method may further comprise delivering the augmented video to a client device, such as a user device of a consumer, and responsive thereto receiving a communication related to the delivered video, the communication comprising data relating to an interaction with the video; comparing the data relating to the interaction with the link in the database to determine an associated product; and delivering information associated with the determined associated product to the client device.

Embodiments of this disclosure include an image obtaining method and apparatus, a server, and a storage medium. In the method, a target application process corresponding to a user identifier is obtained, by processing circuitry, from an application process set. A plurality of window image data that is currently generated is obtained, via a data obtaining module, when an image rendering function in the target application process is called. Image synthesis processing is performed on the plurality of window image data, to obtain a user interface image to be displayed. Further, a notification message that includes the user interface image is transmitted to a user terminal corresponding to the user identifier for display on a user interface.

A display device is disclosed. The disclosed display device comprises a display, a communication unit, a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions configured such that the processor: controls the communication unit, thereby allowing a request instruction, for requesting transmission of an image obtained using a camera included in a refrigerator, to be transmitted to the refrigerator when receiving an input for requesting information related to the refrigerator; controls the communication unit, thereby receiving at least one image from the refrigerator through the communication unit in response to the request instruction, obtaining first information related to the names of food ingredients according to recognition of food ingredients included in the at least one image, transmitting to first information to a server, and receiving cooking broadcast content obtained by the server; and controls the display so as to display the cooking broadcast content and the image together, wherein the cooking broadcast content can be obtained by the server using the first information and second information related to cooking information recognized from media content prestored in the server. In addition, at least a portion of the server can use a rule-based model or an artificial intelligence data recognition model learned according to at least one of machine learning, a neural network, or a deep learning algorithm. The rule-based model or the artificial intelligence data recognition model can estimate the cooking broadcast content by using food ingredient information as an input value.

Disclosed is a system and method for integrating email, SMS, and social media based transactions with interactive television or standard cable with Internet access to make payments. Disclosed is a method to tie together a vendor and a cable provider with an e-commerce system leveraging each entity's customer information to streamline the payment process. Also disclosed are multiple methods to allow customers to make messaging based payments via interactive cable television features. The messaging allows for payments based on various levels of convergence between Internet and cable television experiences.

A live streaming interaction method and apparatus, and a readable medium and an electronic device are provided. The method includes: in response to a selection operation of a user regarding target virtual objects in a live streaming viewing interface, displaying an object trigger operation control, the object trigger operation control being used for the user to perform a target operation to continuously trigger target virtual objects; and during the process of the user performing the target operation on the object trigger operation control, controlling a first display control to move along a first pre-set path, wherein the first display control is used for displaying, in real time, the number of target virtual objects currently triggered by the user.
