A token specifying a payment account is issued to a party to which payments are to be made and the token is installed in a specially configured camera. Whenever a photograph is captured by the camera, a copy of the token, among other things, is embedded in the photograph’s metadata. The metadata may also include photo-specific information and a selling price. When a buyer selects the photo for purchase, the token may be used to facilitate a payment to the party, such as the photographer. The buyer may initiate the transaction by simply dragging the selected photograph or photographs onto a purchase application which automatically extracts price and the token for initiating the purchase transaction. The seller can view the purchase details in the payment account.

A display apparatus connected to an external apparatus that executes a recording process for image data. A display panel displays an image based on received image data. A memory storing a program executed by the processor causes the display apparatus to set an image-quality adjusting parameter for the received image data, to execute an image-quality adjusting process on the received image data using the image-quality adjusting parameter set for the received image data, to detect a start of the recording process for the image data executed by the external apparatus, and to perform control in which, in response to the detection of the start of the recording process for the image data executed by the external apparatus, the image-quality adjusting parameter that has been set for the received image data is automatically recorded in a storage as an image-quality adjusting parameter corresponding to the data recorded by the external apparatus.

Controlling or limiting visibility into particular metadata associated with the transfer of media content from a source device or system to a receiving device or system.

An information processing apparatus as a server apparatus that performs transfer from an imaging apparatus to a client terminal includes: a control unit that performs: initial information transfer processing of obtaining additional information on the basis of associated information and transmitting the associated information and the additional information to a client terminal in response to reception of the associated information that is information associated with an image captured by the imaging apparatus and has a smaller data amount than a captured image, and main image transfer processing of transmitting an image transmitted from the imaging apparatus to the client terminal according to request information generated by selection processing in the client terminal.

When a user inputs an operation of recording a broadcast program into a broadcast reception device, the broadcast reception device outputs, by a display video output unit of the broadcast reception device, a recording setting screen selecting a first recording method of recording program related information and not recording a video content of a broadcast program or a second recording method of recording the program related information and a video content of the broadcast program about a first program. When the first recording method is selected, the program related information is recorded and the video content of the broadcast program is not recorded. When the user inputs an operation of playing back the first program into the broadcast reception device, the broadcast reception device communicates with the server, receives the video content of the first program from the server, and outputs the video content by the display video output unit.

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to permit the capture mode to be determined following the capture of the content. In the context of a method, content may be initially captured, such as without an indication of the capture mode. Following capture of the content, the method includes determining one or more candidate capture modes from a plurality of capture modes based upon information associated with the content that has been captured. The method also includes causing the one or more candidates capture modes to be presented to a user for selection. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal capable of receiving a memo while recording a video. Specifically, the present invention relates to a mobile terminal including a camera, a touch screen and a controller. When a video is recorded using the camera, the controller is configured to control the touch screen to output a preview screen of the camera. If a touch and drag input is received on the outputted preview screen, the controller is configured to temporarily stop outputting the preview screen and store a touch path of the touch and drag input as a handwriting memo which is included in the recorded video.

Systems and methods are provided for determining whether to extend a recording of a media asset based on analyzing user data. A media guidance application may determine that a media asset is recording during a scheduled time slot that has a start time and an end time. The media guidance application may determine that the media asset will be transmitted outside of the scheduled time slot based on inputs from a plurality of users. In response to determining that the media asset will be transmitted outside of the scheduled time, the media guidance application may extend the recording of the media asset beyond the scheduled time slot by a predetermined amount of time.

A verification system includes: a code generation server publicizing time stamped codes; a proving device, including a video camera, that acquires a published time stamped code from the code generation server, and, while recording a video, incorporates the acquired time stamped code into the video; and a verifying device that receives the video, extracts the time stamped code from the content of the video, compares the time stamped code to published time stamped codes, and displays a verification of the published time stamped code.

Aspects of the present invention are drawn to a server device for use with a stream of encoded A/V data and an n×m array of client devices. The server device includes a memory and a processor. The memory causes the server device to decode the A/V data to gain access to decoded video data and decoded audio data, as well as determining the configuration of the n×m array of client devices. The memory causes the server device to separate the decoded video data into n times m distinct video data payloads and encode n times m converted streams of encoded A/V data. The memory additionally causes the server device to transmit the n times m encoded subdivided streams to the n×m array of client devices, respectively, based on the determined configuration of the n×m array of client devices.
