The present document relates to transcoding of metadata, and in particular to a method and system for transcoding metadata with reduced computational complexity. A transcoder configured to transcode an inbound bitstream comprising an inbound content frame and an associated inbound metadata frame into an outbound bitstream comprising an outbound content frame and an associated outbound metadata frame is described. The inbound content frame is indicative of a signal encoded according to a first codec system and the outbound content frame is indicative of the signal encoded according to a second codec system. The transcoder is configured to identify an inbound block of metadata from the inbound metadata frame, the inbound block of metadata associated with an inbound descriptor indicative of one or more properties of metadata comprised within the inbound block of metadata, and to generate the outbound metadata frame from the inbound metadata frame based on the inbound descriptor.

A display apparatus and method. A display apparatus including a display control unit configured to display a moving image on a first region of a display screen; and a thumbnail generation unit configured to generate a plurality of thumbnail images based on a plurality of still images related to the moving image, wherein the display control unit is configured to display the plurality of thumbnail images on a second region of the display screen.

A system and method of displaying messages at a television is described. The method of displaying messages at a television includes: establishing communication over the Internet between a television and a server. A user-generated communication is received at the television from the server. A notification is displayed on the television that the user-generated communication has been received. The user-generated communication is displayed on the television.

Systems and methods for identifying and locating related content using natural language processing are generally disclosed herein. One embodiment includes an HTML5/JavaScript user interface configured to execute scripting commands to perform natural language processing and related content searches, and to provide a dynamic interface that enables both user-interactive and automatic methods of obtaining and displaying related content. The natural language processing may extract one or more context-sensitive key terms of text associated with a set of content. Related content may be located and identified using keyword searches that include the context-sensitive key terms. For example, text associated with video of a first content, such as text originating from subtitles or closed captioning, may be used to perform searches and locate related content such as a video of a second content, or text of a third content.

Provided are a method and device for sending media data. The method is realized by providing a media substitute node between a sender and a receiver. The method comprises: a media substitute node receives an original media data stream from a sender; the media substitute node acquires substitute data for substituting for the original media data stream within a designated interval; the media substitute node converts the format of the acquired substitute data into a media format which conforms to a media parameter of the original media data stream; and the media substitute node sends the converted substitute data to the receiver within the designated interval. The technical solution provided in the disclosure is adopted to solve the technical problems in the related art, such as the reduction in communication efficiency due to the need for re-negotiating a media parameter between substitute data and original media data.

A display apparatus and method. A display apparatus including a display control unit configured to display a moving image on a first region of a display screen; and a thumbnail generation unit configured to generate a plurality of thumbnail images based on a plurality of still images related to the moving image, wherein the display control unit is configured to display the plurality of thumbnail images on a second region of the display screen.

A display apparatus having a virtual machine includes a reception module configured to receive an application written in a specific programming language, a detector configured to detect a first data format included in the application, a translator configured to translate the detected first data format into a second data format capable of being processed by an enhanced virtual machine, the enhanced virtual machine configured to process the translated second data format, a video processor configured to translate the second data format processed by the enhanced virtual machine into outputtable data, and a display module configured to output the translated data.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to receive metadata for audio content associated with an audio content item for presentation in a news feed to be displayed on a screen of a computing device associated with a user. The metadata is transformed for display in the audio content item. The transformed metadata is displayed in the audio content item. In addition, systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to present an audio content item in a news feed to be displayed on a screen of a computing device associated with a user. An input by the user for scrolling the news feed and the audio content item on the screen is received. A pop out player is presented in response to disappearance of the audio content item from the screen based on the scrolling.

A method for controlling a broadcast receiving device includes receiving a first electronic program guide (EPG) via a broadcasting network via and a second EPG via the Internet, and combining first broadcast-related information generated from the first EPG and second broadcast-related information generated from the second EPG to generate and output third broadcast-related information.

The invention relates to a method for providing a description of a program to a user equipment, comprising: receiving a set of text fields associated with the program; selecting a subset of text fields from the set of text fields based on a profile of a user and/or a profile of the user equipment; ordering the selected subset of text fields based on the profile of a user and/or the profile of the user equipment; editing the description of the program based on the ordered subset of text fields; and providing the description of the program to the user equipment.
