A display apparatus includes a communicator configured to communicate with an external apparatus, a memory storing one or more instructions, and a processor. The processor may be configured to execute the one or more instructions to control the communicator to receive data regarding frames forming each of a plurality of pieces of broadcast content in a normal mode; extract first object information based on the data; and provide information about broadcast content corresponding to a keyword of interest of a user from among the pieces of broadcast content, based on the first object information. When entering a suspended mode from the normal mode, the processor may be configured to control the communicator to receive second object information in the suspended mode, and provide the information about the broadcast content corresponding to the keyword of interest from among the pieces of broadcast content, based on the second object information.

A method or system can be configured to receive content associated with a scene; optionally, format the content as a three-dimensional image; render the content or three-dimensional image in a display-readable format; optionally, authenticate the display; and display the formatted content such that the formatted content is perceivable as three-dimensional for one or more viewers.

Example techniques describe may facilitate a playback device applying a determined audio setting. An example implementation involves a first playback device receiving, over an unsecure network, a message indicating that a second playback device is available to join a playback network, wherein the first playback device is connected to the playback network. Based on a pre-existing configuration table, the first playback device determines an audio setting corresponding to a playback configuration for the second playback device, the playback configuration including the second playback device playing back audio synchronously with the first playback device in the playback network. The first playback device transmits, to the second playback device, one or more messages instructing the second playback device to apply the determined audio setting upon joining the playback network. Applying the determined audio setting includes forming the playback configuration with the first playback device to play back audio synchronously.

A method for configuring a start-up display screen of a multimedia entertainment system, the method comprising: storing time related reference usage data of each application from a plurality of applications configured to run on the multimedia entertainment system; comparing the reference usage data of each application with a current system start up time to identify at least one identified application based on the reference data; and configuring the start-up display screen based on said identified at least one application.

Disclosed is an electronic device. The electronic device comprises: a display; a communication circuit; a memory; and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor may: receive, from a first server, a list of at least one external device registered with the first server, display the list through the display; receive a selection input for a first external device included in the list; obtain information for providing real-time content from a second server to the first external device; generate real-time content data; upload the real-time content data to the second server through the communication circuit while generating the real-time content data; and transmit at least a part of the information to the first external device through the first server such that the first external device can obtain the real-time content data. In addition, other various embodiments appreciated from the specification are also possible.

Recovering a hardware component, such as a Remote MACPHY node (RMN), a wireless base station, a CATV amplifier, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a microcell, or a PON switch, after a power interruption. A hardware component, upon detecting that input power to the R-PHY device will be imminently interrupted, provides an alarm signal to a central processing unit (CPU) in the R-PHY device. The CPU, in response to receiving the alarm, stores running parameter data for the R-PHY device in a non-volatile memory. The running parameter data is normally obtained through network communications during a boot operation of the R-PHY device. If certain conditions are satisfied, then the R-PHY device recovers from the interruption in input power using the stored running parameter data without obtaining the running parameter data through a normal boot operation, thus shortening the boot time.

Applying the determined audio setting includes forming the playback configuration with the first playback device to play back audio synchronously.

Methods and systems are described for a media guidance application that limits the incentive for authorized users to share content with unauthorized users, while still allowing users to access content virtually anywhere. Specifically, the media guidance application allows an authorized user to receive only a portion of a media asset that he or she is authorized to access on a different device, after a designated time period, and/or when the remaining portion of the media asset is inaccessible.

An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a detection unit; a first acquisition unit; a second acquisition unit; and a generation unit. The detection unit detects a reproduction apparatus. The first acquisition unit acquires a reproduction mode of the detected reproduction apparatus. The second acquisition unit acquires history information, the history information including a reproduction apparatus selected in a past and a reproduction mode of the reproduction apparatus when the reproduction apparatus has been selected in the past. The generation unit generates an operation image, the operation image including detection information and the acquired history information, the detection information including the detected reproduction apparatus and a reproduction mode of the reproduction apparatus when the reproduction apparatus has been detected.

An information processing apparatus according to the present disclosure includes: a generator configured to generate control information to be used to perform light emission control of a light-emitting unit provided in an operation terminal; and a transmitter configured to transmit the control information to the operation terminal.
