While presenting on a display apparatus videos of high picture quality obtained from portable video processing apparatuses such as a camera and a cellular, it is possible to communicate with the Internet and/or a home network. A display apparatus includes a first radio communication unit capable of receiving video information by radio from an external video processing apparatus, a second radio communication unit capable of connecting by radio to a network, and a control unit for controlling assignment of connection by radio transmission for each of the first and second radio communication units. The control unit assigns connection of the first radio communication unit with higher priority and controls the assignment of the transmission rate such that the transmission rate between the first radio communication unit and the external video processing apparatus is more than that between the second radio communication unit and the network.

Provided is a display device in which a display completes preparation for outputting an alarm before an alarm output time. The display device comprises a housing, a display, a roller accommodated in the housing to rotate to wind or unwind the display, and a controller configured to control the roller such that the display is drawn out of the housing before a predetermined time of a set alarm time and to output an alarm at the alarm time.

Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for transferring streaming media playback between streaming media devices. In an example embodiment, a user may be streaming content using a first media device. The user may then send a command to the first media device to transfer the streaming content to a second media device. The first media device may identify the second media device as being on a common network and transmit a wake command to the second media device as well as media playback state information indicating a playback position to resume playback. In some embodiments, the first media device may download the media playback state information onto a mobile device. The mobile device may then provide the media playback state information to the second media device to resume playback at the first media device's playback position.

A cross-device content projection method includes a first electronic device starting to play first content. The first electronic device obtains, from a near-field communication (NFC) tag, N second electronic devices bound to the NFC tag, where N is an integer greater than 1. The first electronic device projects, according to a preset projection policy, the first content onto at least two of the N second electronic devices for continuous playing.

A television and system and method for providing a remote control device are disclosed. In one embodiment of the television, the television includes a processor, a memory, a tuner, a panel, and an audio driver therein in an interconnected architecture. The television may establish a pairing with a proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device, such as a proximate wireless-enabled interactive handheld device having a touch screen display, whereby formatted parallel audiovisual experience instructions, including virtual buttons, may be transmitted to the proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device for display on the touch screen display to create an experience parallel to the experience on the television. The television receives and processes virtual remote control functionality input instructions from the proximate wireless-enabled interactive programmable device to control amenities associated with the television.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a device waking-up method. The device waking-up method includes: a Bluetooth module receives data to be processed sent by a first Bluetooth peripheral when a protocol stack module is in a dormant state, where the Bluetooth module stores information, sent by the protocol stack module before entering the dormant state, of a second Bluetooth peripheral which successfully performs Bluetooth pairing with the Bluetooth module; and the Bluetooth module wakes up a device according to the data to be processed and the information of the second Bluetooth peripheral.

An aircraft includes a video display, first and second wireless pairing transmitters, and a media distribution processor. The video display is associated with an audio content stream and a seating location in the aircraft. The first wireless pairing transmitter is associated with the video display and has a first wireless coverage volume. The second wireless pairing transmitter has a second wireless coverage volume that overlaps the first wireless coverage volume. The media distribution processor is programmed and configured to: associate a wireless speaker device with the seating location; pair the first wireless pairing transmitter with the wireless speaker device in response to associating the wireless speaker device with the seating location; and direct the audio content stream through the first wireless pairing transmitter to the wireless speaker device in response to connecting the first wireless pairing transmitter with the wireless speaker device.

For example, an apparatus may include a video encoder configured to encode video data into a parallel plurality of encoded video streams, the parallel plurality of encoded video streams including the video data encoded according to a respective plurality of different video bitrates; a selector configured to select, based on one or more parameters corresponding to a condition of a wireless communication link, a selected encoded video stream from the parallel plurality of encoded video streams; and a radio to transmit the selected encoded video stream over the wireless communication link.

Systems and methods are described for controlling media content based on user presence information. A user interaction with playing of a first media asset generated for presentation at a consumption device may be identified, and in response, historical wireless signal characteristics of a wireless network, over which wireless signals are used to generate for display the first media asset, may be determined. While a second media asset is generated for display, the second media asset at the consumption device may be modified based on user presence information determined by comparing current wireless signal characteristics of the wireless network to the historical wireless signal characteristics of the wireless network.

An image display system includes a first terminal device and with a second terminal device whose usable function range is smaller than a usable function range of the first terminal device. The image display system includes a display projection unit, a communication unit that establishes wireless connection with the first and second terminal devices, a control unit that manages the wireless connection, and a connection control image generating unit. The control unit and the connection control image generating unit generate a terminal connection image including information for connecting the second terminal device with the image display system, based on terminal connection permission information that assigns the second terminal device whose wireless connection with the display system is permitted, the terminal connection permission information being transmitted from the first terminal device. The display projection unit displays the terminal connection image.
