An electronic meeting tool and method for communicating arbitrary media content from users at a meeting comprises a node configuration means adapted to operate a display node of a communications network, the display node being coupled to a first display. The node configuration means is adapted to receive user selected arbitrary media content and to control display of the user selected arbitrary media content on the first display. A peripheral device adapted to communicate the user selected arbitrary media content via the communications network is a connection unit comprising a connector adapted to couple to a port of a processing device having a second display, a memory and an operating system, and a transmitter. A program is adapted to obtain user selected arbitrary media content, said program leaving a zero footprint on termination. The user may trigger transfer of said user selected arbitrary media content to said transmitter.

A service data pushing method is disclosed to prevent message pushing from affecting an operation that is currently performed in a device. The method includes establishing, by a second device, a communication connection with a first device according to triggering of a specified action, when the first device presents service push information; receiving, by the second device, related information of the service push information that is transmitted by the first device; and determining, by the second device, a pushing page corresponding to the service push information according to the related information, and presenting the pushing page to perform a corresponding service operation. The service push information is pushed by using the first device and is viewed by using the second device, so that video information currently played in the first device is not affected.

A content viewing method uses a viewing system including a content distribution server distributing contents, a mobile information terminal, and a viewing device reproducing a content. The mobile information terminal transmits user identification information and a user password to the content distribution server. The content distribution server authenticates the mobile information terminal based on the user identification information and the user password. The mobile information terminal transmits an account issue request requesting an account for reproducing a desired content to the content distribution server. The content distribution server issues the account based on the account issue request and transmits the account to the mobile information terminal. The mobile information terminal stores the account. The mobile information terminal transmits the account by short-range wireless communication. The viewing device stores the account received by short-range wireless communication. The viewing device reproduces the desired content using the stored account.

Apparatuses, methods, and program products are disclosed for displaying video. One method includes receiving a video input at a first port of an electronic device. The method includes receiving, at the electronic device, an indication to switch a video output between a first mode and a second mode. The first mode includes the video input occupying a full display screen, and the second mode includes the video input occupying less than the full display screen. The method includes receiving, at the electronic device, information corresponding to the video input. In the second mode, the information occupies a portion of the full display screen. The method includes transmitting, from a second port of the electronic device, the video output for displaying the video output on a display external to the electronic device.

The present disclosure discloses techniques for multi-screen interactive display. The techniques comprise receiving a screen projection request from a screen projection device, and establishing an audio and video data connection channel with the screen projection terminal device; acquiring audio and video data through the audio and video data connection channel, and displaying the audio and video data on a target display window; receiving an interactive request from the screen projection terminal device, and determining a type of interactive data based on the interactive request; establishing an interactive data connection channel with the screen projection terminal device based on the type of the interactive data; and receiving the interactive data of the screen projection terminal device through the interactive data connection channel, and displaying the interactive data on the target display window.

Provided herein are methods and systems for enabling users to provide contextually relevant information, such as feedback, relating to a content item. A computing device may receive a request for a content item. The computing device may receive the request and analyze a first portion of the content item to determine contextual information associated with the first portion. The computing device may determine one or more suggestions for contextually relevant items, such as symbols, to enable use of the symbols to provide information. The computing device may send the one or more suggestions with the first portion of the content item.

Data is synchronized between a mobile device and a computing device over a wireless link. Synchronization operations are scheduled according to a synchronization schedule that is based on a current time of day. In one embodiment, the day can be divided into different time periods by the user. The user can also specify the frequency with which synchronization operations are to be performed during each specified period.

A smart mirror can show live or recorded streaming video of an instructor performing a workout in a package that is attractive and unobtrusive enough to hang in a living room. The smart mirror includes a mirror surface with a fully reflecting section and a partially reflecting section. A display behind the partially reflecting section shows the video when the smart mirror is on and is almost invisible when the smart mirror is off. The smart mirror also has a speaker, a microphone, and a camera to enable a user to view the video content and interact with the instructor. The smart mirror may connect to the user's smart phone, a peripheral device (e.g., a Bluetooth speaker) to augment user experience, a biometric sensor to provide biometric data to assess user performance, and/or a network router to connect the smart mirror to a content provider, an instructor, and/or other users.

An information pushing method, including receiving an information pushing request of an offline service provider; acquiring target information to be pushed and related information about the offline service provider based on the information pushing request; and based on determining that information pushing is to be performed, pushing information to a user such that the pushed information matches with user interests, based on the target information, the related information about the offline service provider, a service area of the user, and an interest probability distribution of the user in the service area, wherein the service area and the interest probability distribution are obtained based on offline visit record information reported by the user, and wherein the offline visit record information is generated based on service attribute information collected by a mobile terminal device of the user at offline service providers visited by the user.

Creative intent input describing emotion expectations and narrative information relating to media content is received. Expected physiologically observable states relating to the media content are generated based on the creative intent input. An audiovisual content signal with the media content and media metadata comprising the physiologically observable states is provided to a playback apparatus. The audiovisual content signal causes the playback device to use physiological monitoring signals to determine, with respect to a viewer, assessed physiologically observable states relating to the media content and generate, based on the expected physiologically observable states and the assessed physiologically observable states, modified media content to be rendered to the viewer.
