A set-top box with an interactive portal and system and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the set-top box, the set-top box is deployed to provide an interactive portal in a hospitality establishment having multiple rooms, such as a hotel. The set-top box is associated with a room and includes a housing that secures a television input, a television output, a processor, a transceiver, and memory therein in an interconnected bus architecture. The set-top box generates a guest interactive portal as well as a housekeeping interactive portal for a guest and housekeeper, respectively. Each of the portals provides relevant feedback on the condition of the room to a server associated with the hotel.

The present disclosure relates to a method and electronic device for processing data. The electronic device can execute the method that can include: acquiring an interactive message, the interactive message being transmitted based on live streaming data; extracting first feature data from the interactive message; determining first pose data based on the first feature data; and determining a pose of a first virtual avatar based on the first pose data, and transmitting the first virtual avatar.

A content distribution system according to one embodiment acquires content data of existing content representing a virtual space, analyzes the content data to dynamically set at least one scene in the content as at least one candidate position for cueing in the content, and sets one of the at least one candidate position as a cueing position.

A terminal device (10) includes a transceiver (110), a camera (140), a display (130), and a processor (150). The processor (150) determines a first synchronization signal whose radio quality satisfies a predetermined threshold from a plurality of synchronization signals beamformed and transmitted from the base station (20), and reports the first synchronization signal to the base station (20). The processor (150) superimposes a virtual object corrected by using correction information on a captured image of the camera (140) and displays the image on the display (130). The correction information is information for indicating a position of an area covered by the first synchronization signal with respect to a real object. The correction information includes information regarding a direction of the virtual object to be displayed on the display (130) in the area and a distance from the real object to the area.

The present invention relates to a system and method for providing digital media such as comics with associated audio files such as audiobooks. The digital media and audio are provided using a computer-implemented application and a website. The system includes a server with associated databases for digitizing physical copies of comics and other graphical content, and creating audio files by using text to speech and natural language processing and storing digital comics and audiobooks. A media player displays digital comics and an audio player plays out audio files in synchronized manner allowing people to listen to comics without having to read the textual content contained in the digital media file.

System integrating content in real-time into dynamic 3D scene includes external server including CMS, a device including content integrating engine to process in real-time 3D scenes, and display device to display combined 3D scene output. CMS searches for social media posts on social media servers. Social media posts includes message and URL to media content. Content integrating engine includes content retriever, content queue, 3D scene component processors to process each 3D scene's visual components, scene manager and combiner. Content retriever establishes direct connection to external server, and retrieves URLs from server storage and stores URLs in content queue. Scene manager, at time of low intensity during 3D scene, signals to content retriever to retrieve media content corresponding to URLs in content queue, one scene component processor to process display setting change, or another scene component processor to process media content. Combiner to generate combined 3D scene output. Other embodiments are described.

Techniques and mechanisms described herein facilitate providing dynamic digital object placement in a video stream. An exchange network for engagements within video streaming content is maintained, and a number of engagement entities and content providers are connected to the exchange network. An engagement proposal is received from an engagement entity in the exchange network, containing media assets for an engagement and proposed engagement information. Content provider requirements are also received from a content provider in the exchange network, containing content provider requirements and one or more engagement surfaces associated with a video stream. The exchange network determines that the received engagement proposal matches the received content provider requirements. Once the exchange network matches the two entities, the media assets from the engagement entity are dynamically inserted into the video stream published by the content provider by mapping the media assets to the one or more engagement surfaces.

Systems and methods for generating a graphically animated audience are disclosed. Biometric data is captured via a sensor during display of content via a first device. The biometric data is stored in association with metadata for the content, and is mapped to a graphical representation. Based on the mapping of the biometric data to the graphical representation and the metadata, a graphical animation is generated for display in synchronization with displaying of the content via a second device.

An information processing device displays a video including an avatar object on a display based on video data received from a server, displays a group to which a distributing user belongs in an identifiable manner in a video view or a video distribution list including images of multiple videos, and sends a display request to display an object in one of the videos to the server.

Methods, apparatus and systems for geometric matching of virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) output contemporaneously with video output formatted for display on a 2D screen include a determination of value sets that when used in image processing cause an off-screen angular field of view of the at least one of the AR output object or the VR output object to have a fixed relationship to at least one of the angular field of view of the onscreen object or of the 2D screen. The AR/VR output object is outputted to an AR/VR display device and the user experience is improved by the geometric matching between objects observed on the AR/VR display device and corresponding objects appearing on the 2D screen.
