Systems and methods for matching content elements to surfaces in a spatially organized 3D environment. The method includes receiving content, identifying one or more elements in the content, determining one or more surfaces, matching the one or more elements to the one or more surfaces, and displaying the one or more elements as virtual content onto the one or more surfaces.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving program content and data describing program content from a content source, and automatically identifying, based on user preferences of a first user, one or more relevant products or services displayed in the program content. Product-related metadata associated with the program content is identified. The product-related metadata including data relating to the one or more relevant products or services displayed in the program content. The program content is communicated to a display device for presentation to a first user in a first portion of the display device, and the product-related metadata is communicated to a second display device for presentation to a second user substantially simultaneously with the presentation of the program content in the first display device. A user commentary is received from the second device, the user commentary generated by the second user and associated with the program content or product-related metadata.

The system and method disclosed herein relate to the establishment of both the location and identity of individual items in pictures or videos and delivering of related information thereto. Initially, images in video source content are scanned and individual elements in the images are dynamically compared with digital images stored in a database to identify individual items in the image that match the digital images stored in the database. Upon detecting a match, information is accessed in the database that is related to the digital image that matches the identified individual item. The accessed information is then transmitted to a secondary system that is in communication with a display device, such that the accessed information is displayed on the secondary system in coordination with the video source content being displayed on the display device.

A system can be used with a drone delivery service that facilitates a service delivery via at least one drone delivery device. The system includes a code generator configured to generate beacon data that identifies a subscriber. A beacon generator is configured to generate a wireless homing beacon that indicates the beacon data, wherein the wireless homing beacon is detectable by the at least one drone delivery device to facilitate the service delivery to the subscriber by the drone delivery device at a location selected by the subscriber and a network interface is configured to communicate via a network. The system receives delivery image data captured after the service delivery by the drone delivery device.

There is provided a bounce rate measuring apparatus for a broadcasting service. The bounce rate measuring apparatus includes programs that are stored in memories and executed by processors. The programs include a first instruction for generating service provision information on provision of channels of broadcasting service; a second instruction for analyzing the service provision information to determine a first number based on the number of times that each channel is provided for a time period longer than or equal to a first threshold during a predetermined period and a second number based on the number of times that each channel is provided for a time period longer than or equal to the first threshold and shorter than or equal to a second threshold during the predetermined period; and a third instruction for extracting bounce rate information of each channel based on the first number and the second number.

A method for processing a live-streaming interaction video comprises sending a data transmission request to a first anchor terminal and a second anchor terminal in response to a response message from the first anchor terminal; receiving first live-streaming data, first interaction information, second live-streaming data and second interaction information; acquiring target live-streaming data by fusing the first live-streaming data, the first interaction information, the second live-streaming data with the second interaction information; and sending the target live-streaming data to multiple audience terminals.

The present disclosure relates to a method, apparatus, server, electronic device, and computer readable storage medium for live streaming. This method includes that: a live streaming server receives an appointment request initiated by an audience account on a target object in a list of objects corresponding to a live streaming room, detects whether a recommendation is performed by a host account on the target object; sends a notification message to the audience account in response to detecting that the recommendation is performed by the host account on the target object; and sends the live streaming room to the audience account in response to receiving trigger feedback sent by the audience account on the notification message, causing the live streaming room to be displayed on a client of the audience account.

Provided is a method for processing live streaming data. An article selection interface is displayed in response to a publish request of an anchor account is received to display at least one article object, such that an anchor can select at least one target article object from the at least one article object, and further, the at least one target article object and related information of the at least one target article object can be displayed on a live streaming interface by at least one floating window, wherein the related information includes an allowable trading condition of the target article object.

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a media server and parsing engine, 3.sup.rd party mobile aggregator, client servers, and a plurality of communication devices that are each associated with a user and a user profile. The media server can provide one or more of the plurality of communication devices with access to media content, with the access being provided at a time selected by the user. At least one of the one or more of the plurality of communication devices can transmit a critique of the media content. The media server can award points to the user based on performing the critique, and can transmit the critique and user information from the user profile to the client server. The media server can provide the at least one of the one or more of the plurality of communication devices with access to at least one of services or goods to be purchased with the points. The media server can redeem the points based on a purchase of the at least one of the services or goods using the points. Other embodiments such as the obtaining of end user preferences of content in a natural environment are disclosed.

Systems and methods are disclosed for enabling Internet users to schedule recordings of electronic programming content. One method includes displaying on a web page, over the Internet, a user interface element associated with an advertisement for electronic programming content; wherein selection of the user interface element, by a user of a web browsing device, initiates a recording device of the user, separate from the web browsing device, to schedule a recording of the electronic programming content. Another method for enabling Internet users to request television content includes displaying on a web page, over the Internet, a user interface element associated with an advertisement for television content; wherein a user's selection of the user interface element initiates a request for the advertised television content from a carrier that provides television service to the user.
