In some implementations, a device may provide content received via a quadrature amplitude modulation channel. The device may receive supplemental content information regarding supplemental content to be provided during a period of time associated with providing the content, wherein the supplemental content information includes a uniform resource locator (URL) identifying a location of the supplemental content and start time information identifying a time when the supplemental content is to be provided. The device may obtain the supplemental content using the URL. The device may transition, from providing the content, to providing the supplemental content based on the start time information. The device may transition, from providing the supplemental content, to providing the content after providing the supplemental content.

Items of video content offered for viewing on a video-on-demand (VOD) platform of a digital TV service provider are each assigned a respective title and hierarchical address corresponding to hierarchically-arranged categories and subcategories within which the title for the video content is to be categorized. The title is listed in a location of an electronic program guide (EPG) using the same categories and subcategories as its hierarchical address. Any TV subscriber can access the EPG and navigate through its categories and subcategories to find a title for viewing on the TV. The EPG dynamically adjust its display listings of each level of categories, subcategories, and titles in order to minimize the number of remote control keypresses needed for a viewer to navigate to a title of interest. In one basic form, the EPG display is reordered by listing more frequently visited categories or subcategories first, and other less frequently visited categories or subcategories lower on the listing or out-of-sight on another page of the display.

A media content management system that enables users to manage media content collections is disclosed. A media device is configured to receive requests to create media content collections for particular media content and, in response, to retrieve information related to the media content, and to generate one or more interfaces displaying information about created media content collections. In an embodiment, retrieving information related to a media content may include determining, for one or more episodes of the media content, whether the episode is available from various content sources, including both broadcast and broadband content sources. By enabling a media device to automatically retrieve and present information related to the availability of media content episodes across any number of different broadcast and broadband sources, users can more easily interact with and view information about particular media content of interest to the users.

Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide an image processing framework that sub-divides computer vision techniques into three computationally efficient steps: detection, classification and matching. These steps provide an improved image processing framework that can analyze live stream data of a media file, in real-time, in order to identify and track specific digital objects depicted therein. This enables not only image processing detection results, but also the capabilities of augmenting the video stream with additional data related to the detected object.

An electronic apparatus includes: a signal output circuit configured to connect with an external apparatus connected to a display apparatus, a processor configured to control the electronic apparatus to: obtain information about a first image format supported in the display apparatus from the external apparatus, output a content signal having the first image format to the external apparatus through the signal output circuit to the display apparatus based on identifying that the external apparatus supports an interface protocol capable of transmitting the content signal having the first image format, and output a content signal having a second image format different from the first image format to the external apparatus through the signal output circuit based on identifying that the external apparatus does not support the interface protocol.

A system is configured to enhance a video feed in real time. A live video feed captured by a video capturing device is received. A presentation of the live video feed on one or more client devices is enhanced. The enhancing includes causing a first content item of a plurality of content items to be displayed at a first location within the presentation of the live video feed. Based on a detecting of a first instance of a first gesture made by a hand at the first location in the live video feed, a content item manipulation mode with respect to the first content item is entered. The entering of the content item manipulation mode with respect to the first content includes at least one of causing the first content item to be moved within the presentation of the live video feed based on a movement of the hand or causing a scale of the first content item to be changed within the presentation of the live video feed based on a detecting of a second gesture made by the hand.

Disclosed are various embodiments for associating and synchronizing extrinsic data with video content at particular points of time in the video content. In one embodiment, an application identifies a video content feature currently being presented via a display device. A current time in the video content feature are determined. Performers potentially depicted in the video content feature at the current time are determined. The application then generates a user interface configured to receive a user selection of a particular performer from the performers, where the user selection indicates that the particular performer is depicted in the video content feature at the current time.
