A method for generating a first video stream representative of a mosaic of videos, referred to as a video mosaic, from a set of at least two second video streams each consisting of a video associated with header data and encoded video data representative of images. During the course of the method: the encoded video data of the second video streams are stored during the generation of the first video stream, a header associated with said video mosaic is generated, said header being representative of an assembly of the encoded video data from the second video streams, and comprising: first header data which are legacy header data from each of the videos of the set of second video streams, second header data which are generated separately from the header data of the second video streams. Associated computer program, storage media and terminal.

A method for programming an electronic program guide (EPG) grid guide is disclosed herein. The method includes determining EPG metadata from a database, sorting metadata based on a time and a metadata field, determining the metadata field to be displayed, and rendering the EPG grid guide based on the time and the metadata field. A method for programming a set top box (STB) is also disclosed herein. The method includes providing a time of day, receiving a user's viewing preferences, adjusting information based on the user's viewing preferences in at least one application, wherein the user's viewing preferences are a function of the time of day, and transmitting the adjusted information to a display device.

A technique capable of allowing a reception side to easily select components is provided. A transport stream in which a first transport packet including predetermined components and a second transport packet including signaling information related to the predetermined components are time-division multiplexed is transmitted via a predetermined transport path. Component selection information is inserted in the second transport packet. The component selection information includes information on a selective layer in which static selection is performed, information on a composite layer in which composition is performed, and information on an adaptive layer in which dynamic switching is performed, and these layers being arranged in that order from top to bottom. The acquisition destination information of a component which is a target of adaptive switching among the components selectable in the adaptive layer is information that designates specific information location of a metafile having data stream acquisition information for adaptive streaming.

A subtitle information display method includes: when an editing operation of a user for initial subtitle information of video information is detected, determining a video display region and an edited subtitle display region in an application display page; if the subtitle display region is not a subregion in the video display region, determining a first extension length and a first extension direction for each edge length of the video display region based on region information of the video display region and region information of the subtitle display region; extend the video display region within a region range corresponding to the application display page, based on the first extension length and the first extension direction, so that the extended video display region includes the subtitle display region; and displaying edited subtitle information in the subtitle display region.

A transmission apparatus includes a reception unit and a superposition unit. The reception unit receives a parameter for setting a superposition mode in which superposition information is superposed on an image picked up by an image pickup unit from a setting apparatus. The superposition unit (i) selects, in accordance with the parameter received by the reception unit, one of a first superposition mode in which the superposition information is superposed on a predetermined position on a display screen of the picked-up image and a second superposition mode in which the superposition information is superposed on a position of the picked-up image in accordance with a change in the picked-up image displayed on the display screen and (ii) superposes the superposition information on the picked-up image.

The invention concerns a video feed monitoring app configured to be implemented with an interface and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive requests from an operator and present visual content to a display. The processor may be configured to process the requests and update the display. The video feed monitoring app may be configured to receive video streams from smart security devices, receive a priority signal, select a subset of the video streams in response to the priority signal and a user preference and arrange the subset of the video streams on the display. The priority signal may be generated externally based on events detected. The subset of the video streams may be updated based on the priority signal. Updating the subset of the video streams may comprise displaying the video streams that comprise events and removing the video streams that do not comprise events.

The related art has the problem of difficulty in providing the maximum number of actually superimposable images from an image-capturing apparatus to an external apparatus to which superimposition images are to be set, so that normal superimposition image setting cannot be performed from the external device. An image-capturing apparatus includes a reception unit configured to receive a request to acquire information on setting of superimposition information; and a transmission unit configured, when the reception unit receives an acquisition request, to transmit a maximum number of superimposition settings that the image-capturing apparatus can perform and a maximum number of settings for each kind of superimposition information.

The screen projection display method includes: After receiving screen projection request information sent by a source device, a target device obtains window data of an application enabled by the source device, where the window data includes display content corresponding to at least two windows opened in a same application enabled by the source device; and the target device displays the window data of the enabled application. The target device onto which a screen is to be projected obtains the window data of the application enabled by the source device. The window data not only includes content of a currently visible window on the source device, but also includes content of a window that is enabled by the source device but is invisible. The target device displays the window data on a display interface of the target device.

Systems and methods for delivering multiple media assets for a plurality of users are disclosed herein. A plurality of users proximate to a display device may detected and split into groups based on preference for a specific media asset. Media assets may be generated on a display device in a layout based on the number of users in each group. When a new user enters the proximity of the display device the group membership may be recalculated and based on the new group memberships the display layout may be updated.

An encoder for use with video data, first supplemental data, second supplemental data, and a display device. The encoder includes: a memory; and a processor configured to execute instructions stored on the memory to cause the encoder to: generate modified video data based on an incorporation of the first supplemental data into the video data such that the supplemental video will be displayed at a predetermined location when the modified video is displayed on the display device; generate metadata associated with the predetermined location; generate an encoded transport stream including the modified video data, the metadata and the second supplemental data; and transmit the encoded transport stream to the display device so as to enable the display device to decode the encoded transport stream and display the modified video and the second supplemental video such that the second supplemental video is not displayed at the predetermined location.
