The present technology relates to a receiving device, a transmitting device, and a data processing method, in which seamless reproduction can be performed at the time of switching a broadcast signal. A receiving device receives a plurality of broadcast signals, and selects a broadcast signal of a target from the plurality of broadcast signals, on the basis of a result of processing with respect to the broadcast signal, and thus, it is possible to perform seamless reproduction at the time of switching the broadcast signal. The present technology, for example, can be applied to a receiver which is capable of receiving digital television broadcast.

A method and apparatus for controlling a gain of an amplifier of a cable modem operating in a full duplex (FDX) mode. A cable modem includes an amplifier configured to amplify a received signal, a power meter configured to measure a power of the received signal on a plurality of channels, and a control unit configured to estimate a maximum expected power to receive on the plurality of channels based on the measured power and set a gain of the amplifier based on the maximum expected power. The cable modem is configured to operate in a full duplex mode. The channels include a full duplex upstream channel, a full duplex downstream channel, and a legacy downstream channel. The maximum expected power may be estimated via a sounding procedure. A power spectral density may be measured and the maximum expected power may be derived from the power spectral density.

Generating automatic diagnostics alerts is disclosed. At a first time, a set of quality metrics for a plurality of groups of streaming sessions is computed. An anomaly is identified at least in part by performing anomaly detection using the set of quality metrics and historical information. A cause of the identified anomaly is diagnosed. An alert is generated based at least in part on the diagnosis.

An example device: transmits, to one or more receiving terminals, first frames of video captured by a video camera; determines, after transmission of the first frames of the video, that a signal strength associated with the first network falls below a predetermined threshold; generates audio summarization data corresponding to one or more objects of interest identified in second frames of the video, the second frames captured by the video camera after the first frames; selects a portion of the audio summarization data based on a context associated with a receiving terminal of the one or more receiving terminals; and transmits, using the communication unit, via one or more of the first network and a second network, the portion of the audio summarization data to the receiving terminal.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for displaying a program source indicator. A program may be selected within an electronic program guide. Metadata associated with the program may be received, wherein the metadata comprises a source identifier. A source identifier may be an Internet-streaming service, a broadband TV service, a satellite TV service, and/or a digital video recorder database. Based on the source identifier, a source indicator may be retrieved. A program source indicator may be a superimposed image, icon, or other visual indicator. The source indicator may then be temporarily overlaid on the program content within the electronic programming guide.

Embodiments of the systems and methods described herein relate to providing body worn camera functionality to users, such as on their mobile device. Additionally, capabilities of mobile devices such as mobile telephonic devices are leveraged to stream captured audio/visual data in real-time and provide robust notification and safety features to users in order to democratize access to body worn cameras. The additional features promote increased use of the disclosed systems and methods as a safety tool while simultaneously providing increased transparency in law enforcement.

Techniques are described for allocation hardware and/or bandwidth resources of a viewer device between a live streaming media content playback of a video player and a concurrently provided live chat. For example, the network and hardware resources used by a video player for streaming media content playback can be adjusted based on chat conditions of the live chat.

The present invention relates to systems and methods suitable for real-time streaming over a decentralized or centralized network. In the decentralized network, the present invention relates to a system and method that utilizes a block-chain distributed network to securely and reliably stream multimedia in real-time. In the centralized network, the present invention utilizes a centralized stream manager to manage nodes within the distributed network to securely and reliably stream multimedia in real-time.

A plurality of customer premises equipment devices in a broadband network are periodically polled to determine a corresponding upstream interface port for each of the plurality of customer premises equipment devices. The determined corresponding upstream interface ports for each of the plurality of customer premises equipment devices are compared to stored data indicating authorized upstream interface ports for each of the plurality of customer premises equipment devices. Responsive to the comparing indicating that at least one of the determined corresponding upstream interface ports does not match a corresponding one of the authorized upstream interface ports, at least one remedial action is taken for a customer account associated with a corresponding one of the customer premises equipment devices in the broadband network.

A system and method for converting conventional screens, televisions and monitors into content terminals is disclosed. The invention being comprised of three main parts: a first part being software; a second part being a peripheral, plugin device or a standalone computer; and a third part being a cloud network. Said plug-in device having an HDMI port allowing it to connect to the majority of conventional screens as well as a microcontroller with onboard memory and wireless receiver to obtain signals from said cloud network, or a hard wired internet connection. The invention allowing users to create content and content sequences (such as public information, commercials, interactive content and advertisements etc.) on the server that is then sent to the plugin device at the time the user selects in their scheduling which in turn obtains control over the screen and displays the content thereon. Other features also include, but are not limited to: scheduling content broadcasts, status notifications and mobile app compatibilities. An object of the invention is to convert any screen into a customizable, independent content terminal without the need for a computer and is controllable through the app or the dashboard from anywhere with an internet connection.
