In a computer-implemented method for generating an interactive digital video content item, a digital video content item is accessed. Subject recognition is performed on the digital video content item, wherein the subject recognition automatically identifies a visual subject within the digital video content item. Responsive to identifying the visual subject, an interactive region is applied to visual subject within the digital video content item, wherein the interactive region enables presentation of content related to the visual subject in response to a user interaction with the interactive region during presentation of the digital video content item.

A method and apparatus for performing an integrated search is provided. An interface is provided that allows users to search and select any data related to a searchable term. Searchable terms may comprise titles of content, actors, and tags. Upon receiving results from the initial search, the user progresses through the initial search by selecting a result from the initial search and conducting a further search of that selection. The search may progress through many layers of searching in order to find information useful to the user and the user may perform actions based upon results of the search. The search implements a display with two columns, the first column displaying selectable data, and the second column displaying results to the selected data. The search is further customizable based upon a privacy level selected by the user.

A method, apparatus, and software are provided for using an optically-readable code such as a quick-response (QR) code. The optically-readable code may represent a uniform resource identifier (URI) including parameters that represent a query, such as a query for content and/or other data. The query results may be used to command a content consumption device to record or otherwise obtain an item of content. The optically-readable code may additionally or alternatively be determined based upon a status of the device, such as what content, or portion thereof, is currently being displayed, and/or what error condition is being experienced.

It is possible to enable a reception side to easily recognize that metadata is inserted into an audio stream. A metafile including meta information for acquiring an audio stream into which metadata is inserted through a reception device is transmitted. The identification information indicating that the metadata is inserted into the audio stream is inserted into the metafile. At the reception side, it is possible to easily recognize that the metadata is inserted into the audio stream based on the identification information inserted into the metafile.

A system and method facilitate digital marketing for sponsors of live television broadcasts. The system allows a user, using an application on a computing device while a piece of sponsored content is being broadcast, to express an interest in the broadcast piece of sponsored content and the interest of the user is communicated to a backend system that selects an endpoint destination associated with the broadcast piece of sponsored content wherein the endpoint destination is a pointer to further digital information about the broadcast piece of sponsored content. The system and method may periodically change the selected endpoint destination based on an event in the sponsored piece of content.

A computing device may be configured to provide authorization to a first content source to provide first content to a user device. The computing device may receive a request from the first content source to identify a location of second content to be presented to the user device and respond to the request by providing an address to the first content source. At the provided address, a request for the second content from the user device may be received. When responding to the request, the computing device may retrieve information associated with the user (e.g., user preference information) from the user device. Using this information, the computing device may generate at least one parameter for selecting the second contend and send a response to the user device. The response may include an address for the second content and the at least one parameter for selecting the second content.

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. According to embodiment, the method includes receiving, from a server, an SD based on URL information obtained from an AR/MR application, processing the SD, configuring at least one media buffer pipeline for a media object of a scene, based on the processed SD, and establishing transport sessions for components of the media object.

A system including a third-party server and a live-view server is disclosed. The live-view server receives, from the third-party server, a request for a live view of each location, structure, or point of interest; identifies at least one vehicle positioned at each location, structure, or point of interest; obtains each requested live view from a live-view camera of the at least one identified vehicle; and transmits, to the third-party server, a dynamic hyperlink associated with each requested live view. The third-party server receives, from a request device, a request for a live view of a specific location, structure, or point of interest; identifies at least one live view, from a live-view database, associated with the specific location, structure, or point of interest; and serves to the request device, via the dynamic hyperlink, the at least one live view.

The present disclosure describes techniques of pushing information associated with the at least one location that is associated with a video. The disclosed techniques comprises obtaining video data, wherein the video data comprise a plurality frames of a video and information associated with the video; determining at least one location associated with at least one frame among the plurality of frames of the video based on comparing the video data with data included in a database; determining information associated with the at least one location; and pushing the information associated with the at least one location to a first computing device based on a time point of playing the at least one frame among the plurality of frames of the video.

Systems and methods for retrieving regional content via remote access point servers are disclosed. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a network system for content retrieval from remote network regions. The network system may comprise a first device. The first device may be configured to receive a request for content. The content may be on one or more content servers located in a remote network region. The first device may be further configured to at least one of forwarding the request, via tunneling, to a destination access point server located in proximity to the one or more content servers and receiving the content from the destination access point server, obtaining the content from a cache of the first device.
