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, chronologically ordering the retrieved application and video events, and delivering a consolidated set of ordered events.

A video curation service (VCS) method provides video content provided by an open streaming service (OSS) by adding video content information in conjunction with the OSS. The VCS method comprises: a step in which a subtitlist produces subtitle data with regard to predetermined video content provided from an OSS server, and uploads same onto a VCS server; and a step in which the VCS server operates a web or app page for viewing video content on a viewer terminal in accordance with a request of a viewer.

A method and an electronic device for switching play between a first video content and a second video content in a web page of a browser application are provided. The method comprises: acquiring a digital document representative of the web page containing a video tag referencing a first source; establishing a first connection between a first video player and the video tag; playing, by the first video player, the first video content from the first source; in response to a trigger event: pausing the playing of the first video content; and establishing a second connection between a second video player and the video tag; playing, by the second video player, the second video content; in response to ending the playing of the second video content: re-establishing the first connection; and resuming the playing of the first video content by the first video player.

The present invention is related to a method of processing a broadcast service in an apparatus. The method may comprise: receiving a broadcast signal; receiving, from an application running on the apparatus, a request based on a first Application Programming Interface (API); generating a first JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object by including the URL for the requested OSN; and delivering, to the application, the first JSON object in response to the first API.

A shoe includes a knit upper and a sole secured to the knit upper. The knit upper is formed with a first type of knit structure knitted with a thermoplastic yarn in a first area. The first area is in at least the toe region of the knit upper. In a second area including at least the medial and lateral metatarsal regions of the knit upper, the knit upper is formed with a second type of knit structure knitted with a second yarn having a higher melting temperature than the thermoplastic yarn. A rear boundary line of the first area and a forward boundary line of the second area define a boundary line between the first and second areas.

Systems and methods for searching, identifying, scoring, and providing access to companion media assets for a primary media asset are disclosed. In response to a request for companion content, metadata within a predefined time period of a play position when the request was made, is downloaded. A dynamic search template that contains search parameters based on the downloaded metadata is generated. In response to the search conducted using the search template, a plurality of companion media assets are identified and then verified. A trust score for the companion media asset is accessed. The trust score may be analyzed and modified based on its contextual relationship to the play position of the primary media asset. If the trust score is within a rating range, then a link to access the companion media asset, or a specific segment or play position within the companion media asset, is provided.

The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, mobile terminal, information processing method, program, and information processing system that can make it possible to easily link information output by a certain device to information output by another device. An information processing apparatus according to one aspect of the present technology includes: a reception control unit for allowing receiving a content containing first address information specifying a source of provision of first information being information related to the content; an output control unit for allowing outputting the content; an acquisition unit for acquiring the first information from a server acting as the source of the provision of the first information based on the first address information; and a provision unit for providing, to a mobile terminal, second address information included in the first information, the second address information specifying a source of provision of second information being mobile terminal-specific information related to the content. The present technology can be applied to a device including a display.

Methods and systems for providing software applications on a client device with dynamic control over low-latency mode (LLM) operations of the client device. The client device may monitor downlink data packets of a client software application operating on the client device to detect trigger events. The client device may determine operating parameters of the modem based on a detected trigger event and dynamically adjust the low-latency mode of the modem based on the detect trigger event or the determined operating parameters.

The present invention provides a media player configurable to provide the user with a seamless way of conducting transactions from within a window of the media player itself. All intermediate steps relating to the required transaction are carried out by calling up relevant modules/applications from within the application libraries from within an e-commerce platform. In preferred embodiments, the media player is configured to retrieve an encoded media file from a server or other content delivery network (CDN). The media player is further configured to display predefined overlays to the user during playback of the media file in response to identifying cues encoded into the media file by the content owner. The content owner can upload the media files to a server or other CDN via a dashboard/user interface. The cues can be encoded with a plurality of fields to enable the desired functionality to be achieved.

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for recognizing advertisement plug-ins, relating to the field of computer technologies. The method comprises: searching for files related to application plug-ins; based on feature vectors of feature dimensions in a feature vector set of a predetermined advertisement, scanning the files related to the application plug-ins, and calculating feature vector similarity between data in each file and the feature vector in each feature dimension; calculating an advertisement similarity of a current application plug-in according to the feature vector similarity of each feature dimension and a feature recognition weight of the feature dimension; comparing the advertisement similarity with a threshold, and determining whether the application plug-in is an advertisement plug-in according to the comparison result. The method has the advantageous effects that a perfect feature recognition rule is involved, and there is a superior feature matching and recognition capability for obfuscated advertisement software codes.
