Methods, systems, computer readable media, and apparatuses for providing synchronous supplemental experiences are presented. According to one or more aspects, a video signal may be transmitted to a display device, and a sync signal may be transmitted to at least one other device. The sync signal may include an identifier of a program currently being displayed and a time value indicating a current point in time of the program. In at least one arrangement, the sync signal may cause the at least one other device to access content synchronization data; determine, based on the content synchronization data, that at least one supplemental experience corresponds to the identifier of the program and the time value; and present the at least one supplemental experience to a user.

A digital content operating apparatus, including: a communication unit which communicates with an external device which has a display for displaying the digital content; a user operation interface which receives a user operation to control the digital content which is displayed on the external device; a display which displays either a linear content operation panel or an interactive content operation panel; and a controller which controls the user operation interface corresponding to information on the digital content which is displayed on the external device; wherein either the linear content operation panel or the interactive content operation panel is displayed alternatively as the user operation interface on the display.

An information processing method, device, and storage medium are provided. The method includes: a screen-transmission sending end, in response to a first operation acting on characters, displaying the characters in an input box in response to a first operation acting on the characters; determining a target screen-transmission code according to input characters; displaying the target screen-transmission code in the input box; parsing the target screen-transmission code and obtaining an IP address of a screen-transmission receiving end; establishing a connection with the screen-transmission receiving end according to the IP address; sending the target screen-transmission code to the screen-transmission receiving end to obtain a check result of the target screen-transmission code; and if the check result is that a check is passed, sending screen transmission data to the screen-transmission receiving end.

In a field of electronic device technologies, a human-computer interaction method and device relates to a portable device receiving a first touch operation performed on a first image, where the first touch operation is directly performed on an area outside a first functional area, and the first functional area is a functional area in the first image. The portable device sends first data to a large-screen device, where the first data includes image data generated by the portable device in response to a second touch operation, the second touch operation is an operation that is generated based on the first touch operation and that is directly performed on the first functional area, and the first data is used by the large-screen device to update the second image.

In accordance with a method for presenting home screen shortcuts, a computer system is coupled to a plurality of media content providers and obtains a respective media application for each of the media content providers. Content is provided for display on the television screen from a first media content provider via a first media application. The computer system obtains a plurality of shortcuts corresponding to a home screen user interface, and the plurality of shortcuts includes one or more media shortcuts and a search shortcut. The home screen user interface is displayed concurrently with the provided content on the television screen, and the one or more media shortcuts and the search shortcut are concurrently displayed on the home screen user interface. In response to selection of the search shortcut, the computer system initiates a shortcut search for one or more additional shortcuts for display on the home screen user interface.

Methods and system for providing content are disclosed. One method can comprise receiving a request for data at a first time, wherein the data comprises a first time duration, determining a buffer size based upon the first time duration, and determining a playback window based upon the determined buffer size and the first time. The method can also comprise synchronizing presentation of content on a plurality of devices.

Described embodiments provide a method and user equipment for dynamically controlling a display mode of an external device coupled to user equipment. The method may include determining whether to detect connection to an external device and upon the detection of the connection, controlling the coupled external device to display image data produced in the user equipment on a display unit of the coupled external device in a display mode different from a display mode of the user equipment.

The present disclosure describes a method for displaying supplemental content. The method includes determining environmental characteristics, e.g., wall space, empty areas, colors, etc., for a display environment, determining supplemental content based in part on a primary content displayed by a primary display, and displaying the supplemental content in the display environment.

Items of video content offered for viewing on a video-on-demand (VOD) platform of a digital TV service provider are each assigned a respective title and hierarchical address corresponding to hierarchically-arranged categories and subcategories within which the title for the video content is to be categorized. The title is listed in a location of an electronic program guide (EPG) using the same categories and subcategories as its hierarchical address. Any TV subscriber can access the EPG and navigate through its categories and subcategories to find a title for viewing on the TV. The EPG dynamically adjust its display listings of each level of categories, subcategories, and titles in order to minimize the number of remote control keypresses needed for a viewer to navigate to a title of interest. In one basic form, the EPG display is reordered by listing more frequently visited categories or subcategories first, and other less frequently visited categories or subcategories lower on the listing or out-of-sight on another page of the display.

A content projection method and device related to the field of screen projection technologies are provided. The method includes: The third electronic device plays second content; an NFC chip of the third electronic device touches or approaches an NFC chip of the first electronic device; the third electronic device receives connection status information sent by the first electronic device; and the third electronic device projects the second content to the second electronic device based on the connection status information.
