A computerized method that may include (i) receiving, by one or more slicers, multiple input streams, the multiple input streams comprise (a) an input video stream that comprises visual information obtained from an event, and (b) at least one additional stream related to the event; (ii) converting the multiple input streams to a group of EISCVSs, different input streams are mapped to different EISCVSs; (iii) determining, by one or more personalization entities, a content to be sent to one or more user devices; (iv) generating, by the one or more personalization entities and based on the determining, the at least one personalized content stream to be sent to one or more user devices; and (v) sending the at least one personalized content stream to the one or more user devices.

A method includes transmitting a first preauthored video frame of a plurality of preauthored video frames to a client device. The first preauthored video frame is associated with a preauthored media object. The method includes providing a request for a composited video frame to an interactive source device. The request includes a temporal characteristic associated with the first preauthored video frame. The method includes, in response to providing the request, obtaining, from the interactive source device, the composited video frame including customizable video content and preauthored video content. The preauthored video content is associated with a portion of the preauthored media object based on the temporal characteristic. The method includes, in response to detecting that the first preauthored video frame and the composited video frame together satisfy a switching condition, transmitting the composited video frame to the client device after transmitting the first preauthored video frame to the client device.

Disclosed is an electronic device that receives a packet of a content image including a plurality of frames from an external device, transmits a signal indicating whether a packet is received, including a request for a bit rate of an image in a transmitted signal, receives a packet with a changed bit rate of the image based on the request, and displays the image on the display based on the received packet.

A device may be configured to render at least one spatial region of 360-degree media content, which may include two or more spatial regions. The device may include a receiver configured to receive the 360-degree media content and metadata associated with the 360-degree content. The metadata may include a classification of a respective spatial region of the 360-degree media content. The device may further include a memory configured to store a user preference and a sensor configured to detect a user movement. The device may include a processor configured to determine that the user movement is associated with a rendering of the respective spatial region. The processor may further determine whether the classification complies with the user preference and alter the rendering of the respective spatial region if the classification violates the user preference.

A computer-implemented method, a system, a video camera, and a server all for dynamically batching a video stream from a video camera. The method comprising the steps of: capturing, by the video camera, a video stream; identifying two or more intended subscribers of the video stream, said subscribers connected to the video camera via the packet-switched network; determining a sensitivity to latency for each subscriber; batching the video stream into a plurality of batches, wherein the size of each batch of the plurality of batches is based on the subscriber determined to be most sensitive to latency; and transmitting the plurality of batches of the video stream to each subscriber.

Systems and methods are described for recommending a content item. A search query for a content item is received. The availability of the content item from more than one source is determined. In response to determining that the content item is available from more than one source, the quality of each of the available content items from respective sources is determined. A recommendation factor is determined. The recommendation factor is based on at least one of the bandwidth available to a user device, the resolution capability of the user device, and the quality of experience of each of the sources from which the content item is available. A list of search results for the available content items is generated. The list is ordered based on the quality of each of the available content items from respective sources and the recommendation factor.

A radio access network intelligent controller (RIC) can comprise a physical resource block (PRB) scheduler that can facilitate the streaming of videos. When a user equipment (UE) requests a video, the PRB scheduler can take into account channel quality data associated with the connection between the UE and a distributed unit of a base station. The PRB scheduler can also receive video stream rate information from a video server. Based on the video stream rate information and the channel quality data, the PRB scheduler can make a decision regarding what types of videos to facilitate streaming to the UE.

Methods and systems are described for low latency streaming. A computing device may receive a chunk of content. The computing device may determine whether a transmission duration of the chunk of the content satisfies a threshold. The computing device may determine a bitrate based on the transmission duration satisfying a threshold.

The present disclosure provides a method for transmitting resources. The method includes: determining the target bitrate of a target moment; in response to the target bitrate being inconsistent with the current bitrate, acquiring target address information of a multimedia resource having said target bitrate; and sending to a server a frame acquisition request carrying the target address information, the frame acquisition request being used to instruct the server to return a media frame of said multimedia resource at the target bit rate.

The present invention relates to a method for synchronizing an additional signal to a primary signal. Synchronization information for a primary signal is generated by extracting at least one signal feature sequence of the primary signal and comparing it to DB feature sequences stored in a database. If the signal feature sequence matches one of the DB feature sequences to a predetermined degree, then synchronization information of the matching DB feature sequences is allocated to the primary signal at a position specified by the signal feature sequence. The synchronization information is transmitted to a playback device, which outputs an additional signal to the primary signal based on the synchronization information.
