This disclosure relates to techniques for resource utilization in a source device when transmitting video data in a Wireless Display (WD) system. A method for wireless display of compressed content may comprise determining, by a source device, a decoding capability of a sink device, receiving, by the source device, a request to display compressed content at the sink device in a wireless display session, and in the case that the decoding capability of the sink device allows for decoding of the compressed content, transmitting the compressed content from the source device to the sink device, whereby transcoding the compressed content is avoided in the source device.

An automated network-based test system for set top box devices is disclosed. According to certain embodiments, the network-based testing system using Simple Network Management Protocol facilitates remote testing of thousands of set-top boxes, where groups of these set top boxes can be located in various locations that are remote from a main controller server that is running the tests remotely.

A barcode corresponding to an identification of the networked device is attached on a networked device, and the identification is associated with an IP address of the networked device in a server, wherein a terminal device captures the barcode for transmitting a connection request to the server; and the server obtains the identification code of the networked device according to the connection request, wherein the IP address of the networked device is obtained according to identification code for establishing a point to point (P2P) connection between the terminal device and the networked device.

A system is configured to display a video clip on a display of a user device. The system receives a request from the user device to display the video clip. The system then queries an advertiser server to identify the video clip. The system fetches the identified video clip. The system then extracts from the fetched video clip its video content. The video content is a plurality of frames. The system then determines a type of the user device. Then, the system determines a number of frames per second for the user device. The system generates a plurality of images from the plurality of frames. The system further generates a timing sequence for displaying each of the plurality of images of the imagized video clip on the display of the user device. The system then sends the imagized video clip and the timing sequence to the user device.

A set of media playback and device settings data from each home appliance of a first set of home appliances is stored on a central server and/or sent to a remote control device upon initiation of a suspend command by a user. The stored media and devices states may be used at a later time to control the first set of home appliances, or a user may, after relocating to a second set of home appliances, initiate a resume state command whereupon media playback and device settings data from the central server and/or remote control device controls each home appliance in the second set of home appliances to bring about the same or substantially similar media and device states as in the first set of home appliances.

At a video content network client, obtain, from a remote targeted feature flag configuration server of the video content network, feature flag overrides associated with the client. Send, from the video content network client, to a remote back-end server of the video content network; the feature flag overrides. At the video content network client, obtain, from the remote back-end server, data to be rendered in accordance with an updated feature flag profile including both default feature flag values and feature flag values overridden in accordance with the feature flag overrides. Render the data on the video content network client.

One embodiment of the present invention is directed to a system for live video/audio broadcasting (e.g., game broadcasting). Another embodiment of the present invention is directed to a method for live video/audio broadcasting (e.g., game broadcasting). Another embodiment of the present invention is directed to computer software for live video/audio broadcasting (e.g., game broadcasting).

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of video processing, and disclosed therein are a video processing method, electronic device, and computer-readable medium. The method includes acquiring a video type of a video file scheduled for playing; determining whether the video type is a specified type; and if the video type is a specified type, controlling a graphics processor to process the video file scheduled for playing and then display same on a screen.

A video-on-demand (VOD) content delivery system has a VOD Application Server which manages a database of templates for presentation of video content elements of different selected types categorized in hierarchical order. A web-based Content Management System receives content uploaded online in file formats with metadata for title and topical area, and automatically converts it into video data format compatible with the VOD content delivery system indexed by title and topical area. A User Interface for the system delivers listings data to the viewer's TV indexed by title and topical area specified by the uploaded metadata.

This technique relates to a receiving device, a receiving method, a providing device, a providing method, a program and a broadcasting system that can notify the receiving side of control information such as the timing to synchronize an application program with progress of a show without using a television broadcast signal. When the application control type written in the application control descriptor is 3, the receiving device acquires application control data from a server, and, for example, acquires and starts a new information service application in accordance with the segment data forming the application control data. When an external device is designated as the command destination device, the receiving device generates a command for the external device, and outputs the command to the external device. In accordance with the command from the receiving device, the external device, for example, acquires and starts the new information service application. This disclosure can be applied in a case where the receiving device is controlled from the broadcasting side.
