Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for distributing content outside the confides of a television so as to enhance user experience of the content. An example media device embodiment operates according to a method that includes receiving a data stream containing content and at least one non-TV experience trigger; causing the content to be played on the TV; and providing the non-TV experience trigger to at least one appropriate accessory device in a manner synchronous with playing the content on the TV, to thereby extend playback of the content beyond the TV.

Techniques are described for expanding and/or improving the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 television protocol in robustly delivering the next generation broadcast television services. A dynamic MPD can be supplemented by offline descriptor information transmitted OTA at display time so that the descriptor information, e.g., language information, captioning information, and the like, can be immediately presented on a UI.

A video processing device includes an acquirer that acquires video data via a predetermined transmission line, the video data including video and metadata that indicates a first frequency band that is a spatial frequency range in which the video is present; an adjuster that makes sharpness gain adjustment to video such that, among a plurality of regions of the video included in the video data acquired by the acquirer, a sharpness gain for a first region that belongs to the first frequency band indicated by the metadata exceeds a sharpness gain for a second region that belongs to a second frequency band that is a range outside the first frequency band; and an output device that outputs video adjusted by the adjuster.

A UHD display presents HD video in the native resolution of HD, leaving some portions of the UHD display unused for presenting the HD video. Ancillary information received, for example, in real time with the HD video or in parallel with the HD video over the Internet is presented in the unused portions of the UHD display along with the HD video.

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.

Systems and methods for displaying primary content without any overlaid secondary content, and instead transmitting the secondary content to the viewer as a message through another communication channel. For example, a news banner is removed from display on a viewer's television, and the text of the news banner is encapsulated in a message sent to the viewer's primary social media account. In this manner, the viewer may watch the primary content uninterrupted by the secondary content, and is thus presented with fewer distractions and a potentially more enjoyable viewing experience.

As a bit stream generation method for generating a bit stream of transmission data in which a plurality of signals including at least a tactile signal is multiplexed, a signal transmission unrequired section of the tactile signal is determined and, in a case where the signal transmission unrequired section exists, the bit stream in which additional information other than the tactile signal is inserted into the signal transmission unrequired section is generated.

A display apparatus (10) that is an example of an image processing apparatus includes: an output unit that outputs part of an image including recommended viewpoint information as a display image to a display unit; and a transition control unit that causes the display range of the image to shift, on the basis of the positional relationship between the viewpoint position corresponding to the display image output to the display unit and the viewpoint position corresponding to the recommended viewpoint information. The output unit outputs part of the image to the display unit, on the basis of the display range that has been made to shift.

A method for transmitting media data in a Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Media Transport (MMT) system is provided. The method includes receiving a Media Processing Unit (MPU) fragmented into one or more Media Fragment Units (MFUs), generating one or more multimedia data packets each including a packet header and a payload, based on the MPU, and transmitting the one or more multimedia data packets to a terminal. A payload header included in the payload includes identification information indicating an MPU to which at least one MPU included in the payload belongs, and a counter indicating the number of the at least one MPU.

The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, a server device, and a program capable of presenting haptic information by using an existing data format.

A smartphone includes a data processing unit configured to supply a haptic control signal to a haptic presentation device on the basis of haptic control information embedded in image data in a predetermined file format. The present technology is applicable to, for example, a terminal device or the like including a display that displays an image and allows a user to perform a touch operation.
