The playback of video content upon a display is enhanced through the unobtrusive presentation of extrinsic data upon the same display. A video content feature is rendered on a display. A quantity of extrinsic data relevant to a current time in the video content feature is determined based at least in part on viewing history of a user. A graphical element presenting at least a portion of the extrinsic data is rendered on the display while the video content feature is also being rendered on the display.

Systems and methods for summarizing captions, configuring playback speed, and rewriting the caption file for a media asset are disclosed. The system determines whether to display the original captions or a summarized version of the captions, which are based on user's language proficiency level, reading pace, and historical data, and can be generated either on-demand or automatically when rewinds and pauses are detected. The caption file which includes the original captions can be rewritten. The system determines whether to stream a caption or a rewritten file to a media device based on user or system selections. In the absence of a caption file, or when the caption file cannot be summarized, the playback speed of the media asset is slowed down to provide additional reading time to the user.

As a bit stream generation method for generating a bit stream of transmission data in which a plurality of signals including at least a tactile signal is multiplexed, a signal transmission unrequired section of the tactile signal is determined and, in a case where the signal transmission unrequired section exists, the bit stream in which additional information other than the tactile signal is inserted into the signal transmission unrequired section is generated.

Methods, systems, and media for remote rendering of Web content on a television device are provided. In some implementations, methods for remote rendering of Web content on a television device are provided, the methods comprising: sending a request for the Web content to a server, receiving, at a source device, a response corresponding to the request; generating a set of drawing commands based on the response; obtaining at least one encoded image based on the response; presenting the Web content on the source device; generating a plurality of content layers corresponding to the Web content, wherein the plurality of content layers including a first content layer comprises the set of drawing commands and a second content layer comprises the encoded image; transmitting the plurality of content layers; and causing the Web content to be presented on the television device based on the plurality of content layers.

Systems and methods for streaming content are disclosed. A Media Presentation Description (MPD) may be associated with streaming content, for example, in Dynamic Adaptive Streaming Over HTTP (DASH). An MPD may comprise an element, e.g., a header element or URL query element, which provides a name/Value functionality. An element may allow a request that results in insertion of custom headers. Requests may be used for retrieval of a subsegment, segment, or MPD, re-referencing of remote elements, or triggered by an event. The event may be embedded either in an MPD or in segments.

Requests may be used for retrieval of a subsegment, segment, or MPD, re-referencing of remote elements, or triggered by an event. The event may be embedded either in an MPD or in segments.

Disclosed are an image processing method and apparatus, an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium. The method comprises: acquiring a video image; when a preset target is detected in the video image, superimposing a foreground sticker on a target image corresponding to the preset target; and when a preset action of the preset target in the video image is detected, generating a screen special effect, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a video image is acquired, when a preset target is detected in the video image, a foreground sticker is superimposed on a target image corresponding to the preset target, and when a preset action of the preset target in the video image is detected, a screen special effect is generated, such that a screen special effect for the preset action of the preset target can be realized.

Techniques related to encoding image content for transmission and display via a remote device with improved latency and efficiency are discussed. Such techniques may include skipping one or more of frame capture, encode, packetization, and transmission for a frame based on a skip indicator. One or more selective updates may be captured for the skipped frame and integrated into an encode of a subsequent non-skipped frame, which may be packetized and transmitted for to the remote device for presentment to a user.

The playback of video content upon a display is enhanced through the unobtrusive presentation of extrinsic data upon the same display. A video content feature is rendered on a display. It is determined whether to present extrinsic data relevant to a current time in the video content feature based at least in part on appearance control metadata. A graphical element presenting at least a portion of the extrinsic data is rendered on the display while the video content feature is also being rendered on the display in response to determining to present the extrinsic data.

Systems and methods utilize a content receiver to provide supplemental content, such as news content, personal content and advertising content, to a user. Received data is formatted as supplemental content by the content receiver based on user preference information stored therein, and the formatted supplemental content is transmitted to a content display device. The supplemental content is provided to the user in addition or as an alternative to video content, and may replace or supplement closed captioning content. The supplemental content may be translated into another language and/or converted into audio signals utilizing the content receiver. Systems and methods also utilize a content receiver to translate data such as text data into another language. Text data may, in addition or alternatively, be converted into audio signals utilizing the content receiver.
