A content encoding system for generating content to be output to a client device, the system comprising a content obtaining unit operable to obtain video content for display at the client device, an asset determining unit operable to determine one or more assets to be associated with the display of the video content at the client device, an asset package identifying unit operable to identify one or more asset packages comprising respective ones of the determined assets, and determining one or more asset package identifiers associated with those packages, and an encoding unit operable to generate an encoded stream comprising the video content and the one or more asset package identifiers.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a live video distribution server helps users appropriately perform the live video distribution. The server provides users with a live video distribution (e.g., live streaming) service for distributing and watching live videos via the user terminals. The server generates advice information to a distributor and displays the advice information on a distributor screen. This configuration may allow users to perform the live video distribution while referring to the advice information presented in real-time.

The disclosure is directed to systems and methods for local rendering of 3D models which are then accessed by remote computers. The advantage of the system is that extensive hardware needed for rendering complex 3D models is centralized and can be accessed by smaller remote computers without and special hardware or software installation. The system also provides enhanced security as model data can be restricted to a limited number of servers instead of stored on individual computers.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method that includes obtaining, by a processing system including a processor, video frames over a network; the processing system uses a machine learning algorithm to identify in each frame a first region comprising a natural image and a second region comprising a synthetic graphic image. The processing system separates the natural image from the synthetic graphic image to generate a natural video and a graphics video, encodes the natural video, and processes the graphics video to generate instructions for rendering graphic images at a client system. The client system performs a decoding procedure for the encoded video, a rendering procedure for client-side graphics in accordance with the instructions, and a compositing procedure to obtain a presentable video stream including the natural image and a client-side graphic corresponding to the synthetic graphic image. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A terminal device sends first information to a cloud device, where the first information indicates a posture and a location of the terminal device at a first moment. Then, the terminal device receives information about a first field of view image from the cloud device, where the first field of view image is a field of view image corresponding to the posture and the location of the terminal device at the first moment. The terminal device displays an image within a field of view range of the terminal device at a second moment based on the information about the first field of view image and a posture change and a location change of the terminal device from the first moment to the second moment.

A graphing tool comprising a computer system having a processor, a display device and user input means, and further including a rendering engine for displaying a plurality of graphical elements, ports on the elements and links forming interconnections between the ports, on the display device, and an element database stored as a data model having an element model for each element and which for each element stores an element object having an element ID, and at least one child variant object having a respective variant ID, whereby each element model is used by the rendering engine to determine a subset of characteristics of each respective element to render on the display device, based on which variant ID is currently active for the element.

A method, an apparatus, and an electronic device for providing product object information are disclosed. The method includes: providing an interactive content in a process of playing a live video content associated with a product object, the interactive content being generated according to a material associated with the product object, and the material being used to describe attributes of the product object; and providing a change process of the interactive content according to the material in a process of responding to interactive operation information inputted by a user, to enable a presentation of multiple attributes of the product object. Through the embodiments of the present disclosure, the product object information can be provided to consumers in a more comprehensive and intuitive manner, so as to help the users to make better shopping decisions.

An image output apparatus comprising an output control unit configured to output region annotation information including region information indicating a region included in an image and annotation information indicating information on the region, the region annotation information being superimposed on the image, wherein when a plurality of pieces of the region annotation information are superimposed on the image, the output control unit superimposes first region annotation information associated with a first region with a first depth closer to the front than second region annotation information associated with a second region with a second depth that has larger depth than the first depth.

A method for capturing a region of interest (ROI) by an electronic device is provided. The method includes detecting a plurality of ROIs in a preview frame, captured in a field of view of a plurality of image sensors of the electronic device. Further, the method includes assigning at least one first ROI from the plurality of ROIs to the at least one first image sensor from the plurality of image sensors and at least one second ROI from the plurality of ROIs to at least one second image sensor from the plurality of image sensors. Further, the method includes capturing at least one first media content of the at least one first ROI using the at least one first image sensor and at least one second media content of the at least one second ROI using the at least one second image sensor. Further, the method includes storing the at least one first media content and the at least one second media content in the electronic device.

Various embodiments provide an apparatus, a method, and a computer program product. The apparatus includes at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code; wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform: define or utilize file format syntax elements to indicate samples comprising at least one of: one or more description documents, wherein the one or more description documents comprise 3 dimensional information; or one or more updates to at least one description document of the one or more description documents; and define or utilize the file format syntax elements to indicate a relationship between samples containing the one or more description document and update information to the samples.
