Disclosed herein are video display systems and methods. An exemplary video display system includes a computerized media processing unit configured to receive content including video, audio, graphics and internet content from a plurality of content source devices providing such content and configured to output a blended video signal receivable by a display device; and wherein the video signal output by the media processing unit comprises a plurality of arbitrarily shaped video containers all displayable on the display device simultaneously, each of the plurality of video containers capable of being positioned and displaying video content independent of the video content of the other video containers; wherein the video content displayed in one container may comprise a GUI for control of size and position of each of the other of the plurality of video containers in response to user commands.

A video scene is displayed in a either a tag mode or a tagless mode. The video scene depicts a plurality of visually perceptible items. The tag mode displays one or more visually perceptible tags in conjunction with the video scene. Each tag is associated with a visually perceptible item appearing in the video scene. The tags are categorized into a plurality of categories. In response to a request to display the video scene in the tag mode for a first one of the plurality of categories, the display device displays the video scene in the tag mode displaying tags in the first one of the categories. In response to a request to display the video scene in the tag mode for a second one of the plurality of categories, the display device displays the video scene in the tag mode displaying tags in the second one of the categories.

Targeted Content solutions can be provided using a variety of techniques. Targeted Content can be provided in place of generic advertisements on a first device or on personal computing devices. Targeted Content can be presented during, or in place of, generic advertisements in Content (e.g., television content, streaming content, etc.). Targeted Content can include customized video content to improve a user's viewing experience and thereby provide increased revenue opportunities for advertisers and content providers. The video content and/or customized content that is provided to a user can be paused or substituted to permit customized content to be delivered to the user. The video content and/or customized content can be of sporting events, and can facilitate and improve participation in a Fantasy Sports league.

A method and an apparatus for displaying video, an electronic device, and a medium, where the method includes: under a condition that a display type of a target video is a horizontal video, displaying a landscape access control on a playback page of the target video; in response to detecting a click operation on the landscape access control, displaying a landscape display page of the target video and displaying the target video on the landscape display page; and in response to detecting a switching operation for the landscape display page, displaying a switched video on the landscape display page. This method realizes the full-screen viewing of the horizontal video in the vertical screen player, and improves the viewing experience for the user.

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a media processor having a controller to present a graphic user interface (GUI) for customizing an electronic programming guide (EPG), the GUI including a plurality of scrollable media channels, each media channel accompanied by an image, a description of the media channel, an option to select the media channel for inclusion in the EPG, a first button to customize the EPG according to one or more media channels selected, and a second button to request additional information about a media channel highlighted in the GUI. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A display method includes displaying content on a screen and if a non-contact user motion having directivity is input, analyzing a direction of input non-contact user motion and dividing the screen into plural screens according to the directivity of the non-contact user motion.

Developments in interactive programming guides that utilize a confluence of users/viewers from data that may be blockchain and/or data collection from IoT and other devices, proximity sensing of viewership, and both machine and guided learning over a large dataset to produce rules for AI selection of content, format, and features presented to currently active or a nearby set of television users/viewers. Blockchain may be implemented separately for accounting, verification, billing, and/or fees/royalty payments owed to content owners/copyright holders. Playback may be initiated by a remote device and played on a same or yet another or a plurality of remote devices.

Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for customizing and dynamically generating overlay graphical user interfaces (GUIs) within the context of a video streaming environment.

Provided are an artificial intelligence (AI) system that mimics cognitive functions, such as cognition and judgment, of the human brain using a machine learning algorithm such as deep learning and applications thereof. More particularly, provided is a device including a memory storing least one program and a first video, a display, and at least one processor configured to display the first video on at least one portion of the display by executing the at least one program, wherein the at least one program includes instructions for: comparing an aspect ratio of the first video with an aspect ratio of an area in which the first video is to be displayed, generating a second video corresponding to the aspect ratio of the area by using the first video when the aspect ratio of the first video is different from the aspect ratio of the area, and displaying the second video in the area, wherein the generating of the second video is performed by inputting at least one frame of the first video to an AI neural network.

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.
