Adaptive method and system for data flow control based on variable frame structure in video image processing system
An adaptive system is configured for a data flow control of a video image processing system, wherein the adaptive system includes a first component, a second component, and a third component. The first component includes a variable frame structure and a new variable frame structure being activated/deactivated when new signal is added. The second component includes a bit definition of VB-ID (Vertical Blanking Identifier) that identify the new variable frame structure. The third component includes a dynamic switching of the variable frame structure configured to convert a type of the variable frame structure based on a prediction of a frame data and to set a data flow control strategy.
REAL TIME LOCAL FILTERING OF ON-SCREEN IMAGES
The present invention relates to a system and method for detecting inappropriate content on a device and filtering content on a variety of media. Inappropriate content is detected by sampling a display of the device to produce a sample, preprocessing the sample using a local processor and locally stored software to determine if the sample is a likely candidate to include objectionable content, and if found to be a likely candidate, analyzing the sample using an artificial intelligence routine running on said local processor;
Passive data collection from third-party channel applications
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer-readable storage-medium embodiments for implementing passive data collection from third-party channel applications. An embodiment includes running a channel application of a first layer of an operating system, and receiving an application programming interface (API) call, from the channel application, for a module of a second layer of the operating system. The module may be a non-video playback module that includes graphic rendering logic, for example. Some embodiments may further include intercepting metadata sent to the module, determining identifying information of a content instance based on the intercepted metadata, and storing the determined identifying information of the content instance.
Method for storing a multimedia content, associated reading method and method for managing a storage space containing such a content
A method for processing an individual multimedia content by an electronic device, which includes a database containing a user list and a table of recorded individual multimedia contents, a calculation system and a storage system, the method including storing the individual content by allocating a storage space on the storage system; adding an entry relating to the individual multimedia content stored in the table of recorded individual multimedia contents; acquiring the individual multimedia content and writing to memory the individual multimedia content in the allocated storage space, and creating a table of users relating to the stored individual multimedia content, the table of users including, for each user of a sub-set of the list of users contained in the database, a context data. The method also includes performing a method for managing the storage space and/or a method for reading the multimedia content stored in the storage space.
Data processing method and apparatus, electronic device, system, and storage medium
A data processing method and apparatus, and an electronic device, a system and a storage medium are provided. The method is applicable to a main thread in a Web client and includes: obtaining audio and video data of a target video from a server decapsulating the obtained audio and video data to obtain first audio and video data; sending the first audio and video data to a target sub-thread in the Web client, so that the target sub-thread decodes the first audio and video data to obtain second audio and video data and sends the second audio and video data to the main thread; receiving the second audio and video data sent by the target sub-thread; and rendering video data in the second audio and video data by using a rendering module of a browser of the Web client, and taking the rendered video data and audio data in the second audio and video data as to-be-played data for the target video. The technical solution according to the embodiment of the present application allows a Web client to play audio and video data without browser plug-ins.
Video enhancement control method, device, electronic device, and storage medium
A video enhancement control method, an electronic device, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes obtaining a resolution of a video being played in response to detecting the electronic device being in a video playing state, determining whether a network state meets a playback condition corresponding to the resolution, and if the network state does not meet the playback condition, reducing the resolution of the video being played and performing a video enhancement on the video being played. The video enhancement comprises enhancing images of the video being played.
Method of monitoring usage of at least one application executed within an operating system, corresponding apparatus, computer program product and computer-readable carrier medium
The disclosure relates to a method for monitoring usage of at least one application executed within an operating system of an electronic device. The method includes at least one iteration of, while a processing condition is not satisfied, determining a video event associated with a current application and storing the video event in a data structure, delivering a set of video events. The method further includes, once the processing condition is satisfied, determining a past time slot, calling an usage statistics API provided on the operating system, delivering a set of application events representative of whether an application has been put in system foreground or system background, retrieving application events that have occurred during the past time slot, retrieving video events that have occurred during the past time slot, and chronologically ordering the retrieved application and video events, delivering a consolidated set of ordered events.
System and method for media hub software updating
A system and method for automatically analyzing and managing a media hub software update. The system and method each utilize available media hub system and diagnostic information to aid in the analysis and installation of a software update. If the installation of the update is determined to require memory capacity in excess of what is currently available within the media hub, an archive and off-loading process is automatically initiated to free the required memory space during the installation process. Any off-loaded information and/or applications are then restored after the installation is complete.
Converting video according to status of user device
Provided is dynamically converting a video being displayed on a user device according to changes in a holding direction and a display direction of the user device. The user device may include a processor: generate a request message for requesting a predetermined video to a contents server and transmit the request message to the contents server through the communication circuit, receive the requested video from the contents server in response to the request message through the communication circuit, detect a target object from each image frame of the received video and define a region of interest based on the detected target object; determine whether error occurs in detecting the target object at each image frame and correct the region of interest when error occurs; defining a crop region based on the corrected region of interest; and converting the received video to a second video based on the crop region.
TECHNIQUES FOR CLIENT-CONTROLLED PACING OF MEDIA STREAMING
In various embodiments, a media delivery application transmits encoded chunks of a media title to a playback application. In operation, the media delivery application receives, via a media channel, an encoded chunk request that has been transmitted over a TCP connection. The media delivery application also receives, via a side channel, a pacing specification that is associated with the encoded chunk request and has been transmitted over the TCP connection. As per the encoded chunk request, the media delivery application retrieves encoded chunk content. The media delivery application sets a parameter associated with the TCP connection equal to a parameter value based on the pacing specification. Subsequently, the media delivery application causes TCP segments corresponding to the encoded chunk content to be transmitted, via the media channel, over the TCP connection in accordance with the first parameter value.
