Certain exemplary embodiments relate to entertainment systems that interact with users so as to provide for social networking and/or other services. In certain exemplary embodiments, an entertainment system is configured to provide jukebox-related and entertainment system mediated services that are accessible from within and from the outside of the location, coordinating social networking services among and between patrons within and outside of the location and also providing for advertisement opportunities. In certain exemplary embodiments, the entertainment system within a location may serve as and/or be connected to a jukebox. The entertainment system within the location may be connected to one or more client devices, one or more displays, one or more bar-top or hand-held gaming devices, etc., in certain exemplary embodiments. The jukebox-related and entertainment system mediated services may provide mechanisms for enhancing patrons' experiences, creating a sense of ownership and/or belongingness to a connected community of entertainment system users.

A case for a cartridge for a vapor provision device is configured such that opening the case involves a coordinated action using both hands. In some implementations, the case includes a first housing portion and a second housing portion which come together to contain and enclose the cartridge when the case is shut and separate to open the case to allow access to the cartridge.

A content access device and system may allow portable remote devices to be paired with a variety of different devices, allowing remote control through a network connection. Content access devices may expose application program interfaces, allowing incoming network traffic to control operation of the device much in the same way that a local infrared remote would. Routing content commands through an external application server may also yield other benefits, such as allowing more customized selection of information and advertising content to users based on their viewing history.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to perform media device asset qualification are disclosed. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, and at least one processor to execute instructions to at least identify a first set of candidate media device assets for disqualification, the candidate media device assets including A) a signature and B) a media identifier that identifies media, generate a hash table using a second set of the candidate media device assets, determine one or more counts of matches between C) a first signature and a first media identifier of a first candidate media device asset of the second set and D) respective signatures and media identifiers of multiple ones of the second set using the hash table, the multiple ones of the second set not including the first candidate media device asset, and load the first signature into a reference database as a reference signature.

A display device including a display; a first external interface configured to be connected to a first external device; a second external interface configured to be connected to a second external device; and a controller configured to display, on the display, an external source list menu including first connection port information for identifying the first external interface and second connection port information for identifying the second external interface, receive a first image content from the first external device connected to the first external interface, and display, on the external source list menu, a first moving image obtained from the first image content after receiving a first capture start signal until receiving a second capture end signal from a remote controller, wherein the first moving image is displayed on a first position corresponding to the first connection port information identifying the first external interface in the external source list menu, and receive a second image content from the second external device connected to the second external interface, and display, on the external source list menu, a second moving image obtained from the second image content after receiving a third capture start signal until receiving a fourth capture end signal from the remote controller, wherein the second moving image is displayed on a second position corresponding to the second connection port information identifying the second external interface in the external source list menu.

The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and machine-readable media for concurrent communication. One method includes displaying an interactive application on a first device of a user during a break in an entertainment segment displayed on a second device, sending a request for interaction from the user through the interactive application, pausing the interactive application when the break in the entertainment segment is over, and notifying the user when an additional break begins so the user can commence interacting with the interactive application.

An image that can be easily viewable for a user is provided. An information processing apparatus is an information processing apparatus including a control unit. The control unit included in this information processing apparatus controls performing displaying an image on the basis of image information transmitted from at least one first information processing apparatus by using radio communication in one area of a display unit for each first information processing apparatus. In addition, the control unit included in this information processing apparatus performs control of performing and determining a display form of the image corresponding to the first information processing apparatus in the display unit on the basis of a positional relation between a user associated with the first information processing apparatus and the display unit.

A display device including a display; a first external interface configured to be connected to a first external device; a second external interface configured to be connected to a second external device; and a controller configured to display, on the display, an external source list menu including first connection port information for identifying the first external interface and second connection port information for identifying the second external interface, receive a first image content from the first external device connected to the first external interface, and display, on the external source list menu, a first moving image obtained from the first image content after receiving a first capture start signal until receiving a second capture end signal from a remote controller, wherein the first moving image is displayed on a first position corresponding to the first connection port information identifying the first external interface in the external source list menu, and receive a second image content from the second external device connected to the second external interface, and display, on the external source list menu, a second moving image obtained from the second image content after receiving a third capture start signal until receiving a fourth capture end signal from the remote controller, wherein the second moving image is displayed on a second position corresponding to the second connection port information identifying the second external interface in the external source list menu.
