APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING AUDIOVISUAL DATA

An apparatus for processing audiovisual data for a scene comprises a receiver (201) for receiving audiovisual data for the scene. The audiovisual data comprises audio data for the scene comprising a plurality of audio elements and image data for at least a first image of the scene where the first image has a first aspect ratio. An image remapper (203) performs a content dependent non-uniform mapping of the first image to a second image which has a different aspect ratio. The image remapper (207) is arranged to generate mapping data describing the content dependent non-uniform mapping. An audio remapper (207) replaces a first audio element of the plurality of audio elements by a second audio element generated by modifying a spatial property for the first audio element in response to the mapping data. The spatial property being modified may be a position and/or spatial spread of the first audio element.

WIRELESS DEVICE

A wireless device supporting Wi-Fi Direct service includes: a display; a communication unit; and a controller configured to cause: transmitting resolution information including a plurality of resolutions that are supported by the wireless device to a second wireless device; receiving an entire image including a first image and a second image from the second wireless device if a resolution of the first image is not one of the plurality of resolutions; displaying the first image by removing the second image from the received entire image when the entire image is received; and receiving the first image from the second wireless device without the second image if the resolution of the first image is included in the resolution information, the second image being an image that is added to the first image such that a resolution of the received entire image corresponds to one of the plurality of resolutions.

Sub-clustering photographs for a digital picture frame

A method for automated routing of pictures taken on mobile electronic devices to a digital picture frame including a camera integrated with the frame, and a network connection module allowing the frame for direct contact and upload of photos from electronic devices or from photo collections of community members. The integrated camera is used to automatically determine an identity of a frame viewer and can capture gesture-based feedback. The displayed photos are automatically shown and/or changed according to the detected viewers. The photos can be filtered and cropped at the receiver side. Clustering photos by content is used to improve display and to respond to photo viewer desires.

Disclosed are a method for displaying projection picture and a method for rotating projection picture, comprising following steps: A: using a main control chip of a display to receive a picture signal parameter of a handheld terminal; B: the main control chip determining the black edge and calculating the starting position of a display picture by detecting the intensity of display signal inputted from the handheld terminal; C: obtaining the width of the display picture by calculation, and at the same time, directly obtaining the height of the display signal by signal detection of the main control chip; and D: using the function calculation provided by a control unit to enlarge the picture to a proportional or full-screen output with the handheld terminal. After adopting the above method, the display provides a picture with “full screen without having black edges” or “small black edges” to enhance the visual experience.

PHOTOGRAPH CONTENT CLUSTERING FOR DIGITAL PICTURE FRAME DISPLAY

A method for automated routing of pictures taken on mobile electronic devices to a digital picture frame including a camera integrated with the frame, and a network connection module allowing the frame for direct contact and upload of photos from electronic devices or from photo collections of community members. The integrated camera is used to automatically determine an identity of a frame viewer and can capture gesture-based feedback. The displayed photos are automatically shown and/or changed according to the detected viewers. The photos can be filtered and cropped at the receiver side. Clustering photos by content is used to improve display and to respond to photo viewer desires.

Systems and methods for encoding video content

Systems and methods for encoding a plurality of alternative streams of video content using multiple encoders in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. An encoding system includes multiple encoders. Each of the encoders receives a source stream of video content that is divided into portions. Each of the encoders generates portions of the plurality of alternative streams from the portions of the source stream. The portions of the alternative streams generated by a particular encoder are stored in a container for the particular encoder. Each encoder also generates index information for the portion of the alternative stream generated by the encoder that is stored in a manifest for the encoder.

Conversion between aspect ratios in camera

A camera system captures an image in a source aspect ratio and applies a transformation to the input image to scale and warp the input image to generate an output image having a target aspect ratio different than the source aspect ratio. The output image has the same field of view as the input image, maintains image resolution, and limits distortion to levels that do not substantially affect the viewing experience. In one embodiment, the output image is non-linearly warped relative to the input image such that a distortion in the output image relative to the input image is greater in a corner region of the output image than a center region of the output image.

Systems and methods for generating and distributing content for consumption surfaces

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can be configured to determine a request for a video from a client device, wherein the video is associated with a plurality of reframed versions of the video. A reframed version of the video to provide in response to the request can be determined based at least in part on a consumption surface associated with the client device. The reframed version of the video can be provided to the client device for display.
