Technologies relating to a system and method of real-time video overlaying and sharing from multiple cameras are disclosed. An example method of real-time video overlaying and sharing includes the steps of: capturing video output from a first camera on a mobile device, recognizing a portion of an individual in the captured video output and determining a user body contour, generating a binary mask, enabling real-time video processing, including the separate user body contour from a background of the video from the first camera, smoothing one or more edges of the binary mask, merging the binary mask with the video from the first camera, and creating a composite video, merged from the first camera video output onto a second camera video output. The second camera can be included on the same mobile device as the first camera, facing in the opposite direction, or on a second mobile device.

A system for integrated consumer interaction via media broadcast, comprising an immediate communication system that communicated with a media provider and a communications system, wherein the consumer submits a request to a content provider for interaction that is then handled by the immediate communication to establish an interaction with a communication system, and a method for providing integrated consumer interaction.

The present invention relates to the technical field of televisions, and provides a method for processing a television screenshot, a smart television, and a storage medium. To meet the demands of a more intuitive user interface and a seamless user interaction function, multiple sets of optional bars are displayed while displaying current playback content on a display screen in response to an input screenshot operation instruction, wherein optional bars are respectively used for displaying a picture thumbnail of a screenshot, recognizing content-related recommended content on the basis of an image of the screenshot, and/or responding to a user control instruction input interface for an operation associated with the screenshot.

The present invention relates to methods and systems for targeting and retargeting individuals with advertisement spots during television broadcasting. The method and system enable an advertiser for identifying and categorizing a set of viewers or individuals for retargeting advertisement based on parameters such as, but not limited to, interests or preferences of the individuals, past purchases and interactions of the individuals with the advertiser. The method and system further enable the advertiser to segregate the plurality of individuals into subgroups on the basis of information such as, but not limited to, demography, psychographic and behavioral characteristics of the plurality of individuals. The method and system then enable the advertiser to define one or more advertisement spots and corresponding advertisements to be delivered to different sub groups of individuals based on the categorization. Thereafter, the method and system retarget individuals by sending individualized messages in the one or more advertisement spots.

An apparatus includes an interface, display, memory, and processor. The interface receives a video feed including first and second camera feeds, each feed corresponding to a camera located in a store. The processor stores a video segment in memory, assigned to a person and capturing a portion of a shopping session. The video segment includes first and second camera feed segments, each segment corresponding to a recording of the corresponding camera feed from a starting to an ending timestamp. Playback of the first and second camera feed segments is synchronized, and a slider bar controls a playback progress of the camera feed segments. The processor displays the camera feed segments and copies of the slider bar on the display. The processor receives an instruction from at least one of the copies of the slider bar to adjust the playback progress of the camera feed segments and adjusts the playback progress.

An apparatus includes a memory and processor. The memory stores a machine learning algorithm configured to decide whether to use a virtual shopping cart to verify all or a portion of a transaction performed with an algorithmic shopping cart. The processor receives feedback for a decision made by the algorithm, indicating whether the algorithmic and virtual carts match. The processor assigns a reward to the feedback. A first positive reward is assigned when the virtual shopping cart is not used for verification, and the feedback indicates that the carts match. A second positive reward is assigned when the virtual cart is used for verification, and the feedback indicates that the carts do not match. A first negative reward is assigned when the virtual shopping cart is not used for verification, and the feedback indicates that the carts do not match. A second negative reward is assigned when the virtual cart is used for verification, and the feedback indicates that the carts match. The processor uses the reward to update the algorithm.

A method for transmitting, by a media-providing server, on-demand content related to commerce content to a set-top box includes receiving a first on-demand request signal for the on-demand content from the set-top box and transmitting the first on-demand request signal to a data server, by the media-providing server, in response to the first on-demand request signal, generating an on-demand call request signal including a product code of the commerce content and a user code of the set-top box and transmitting the on-demand call request signal to an on-demand ARS server, by the data server; receiving process status information on the on-demand call request signal from the on-demand ARS server and transmitting a message corresponding to the process status information to a user terminal corresponding to the first on-demand request signal, by the data server.

The present disclosure is intended to provide a smart television and a method for displaying a graphical user interface of a television screen shot. The method includes while a display device is displaying currently-played content, in response to receiving an input instruction for capturing a screen shot, acquiring a screen shot image comprising at least one object; and while the display device continues playing, displaying a screen shot content display layer on the display device. The screen shot content display layer is configured to present the screen shot image. The method further includes in response to receiving an input for selecting an object or a keyword matched with the object, displaying recommended content related to the object; in response to receiving a selection for a different object on the screen shot image by moving a focus frame, updating presentation of recommended content based on the selected different object.

A method for displaying item information includes: displaying by an audience terminal, category information corresponding to a combined item object and an interaction operation control on an item display interface of a live broadcast room, in which the interaction operation control is configured to view basic information of sub-item objects and the combined item object includes at least two sub-item objects of the same category; in response to a trigger operation of the interaction operation control, determining by the audience terminal, a target sub-item object matching specified geographic information of the audience terminal from the at least two sub-item objects; and displaying by the audience terminal, basic information corresponding to the target sub-item object on the item display interface.
