Provided is a system for controlling progress of audio-video content based on sensor data of multiple users, composite neuro-physiological state (CNS) and/or content engagement power (CEP). Sensor data is received from sensors positioned on an electronic device of a first user to sense neuro-physiological responses of the first user and second users that are in field-of-view (FOV) of the sensors. Based on the sensor data and at least one of a CNS value for social interaction application and a CEP value for immersive content, recommendations of action items for first user are predicted. Content of a feedback loop, created based on sensor data, CNS value, CEP value, and predicted recommendations, is rendered on output unit of electronic device during play of the at least one of social interaction application and immersive content experience. Progress of social interaction and immersive content experience is controlled by first user based on predicted recommendations.

Techniques are described for expanding and/or improving the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 television protocol in robustly delivering the next generation broadcast television services. An ATSC3.0 service list table (SLT) contains correlations between service IDs and frequencies so that a receiver receiving duplicate services on different frequencies in a boundary between broadcast regions can select the best frequency to tune to in order to present the service, without having to access a database to correlate service IDs to frequencies.

A video processing method includes playing a first video posted by a first account, the first video being obtained by photographing a real creature, the first video including a resource transmission access, the resource transmission access instructing to transmit a first type of resource to the first account, and the first type of resource being exchanged for a target type of supply used by the real creature in the first video, and transmitting, based on a triggering operation for the resource transmission access during the playing of the first video, the first type of resource of a second account currently logged in to the first account.

An apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a communications interface to receive game data from an external data source and to receive video data from a plurality of video sources. The apparatus also includes a memory storage unit to store the game data and the video data. Furthermore, the apparatus includes an aggregator to select a video from the video data, wherein the video is associated with an event in the game data. The apparatus additionally includes a notification engine to generate a notification to be transmitted via the communications interface.

An on-demand mobile lawyer method includes receiving a live consultation request from a user, automatically receiving a live-stream of video images of the user and surroundings and storing the video images, automatically searching a plurality of records associated with a plurality of lawyers stored in a remote database, automatically identifying at least one lawyer licensed in a jurisdiction that corresponds to a current location of the user, automatically transmitting at least one notification to the identified at least one lawyer, live-streaming captured video images of the user for viewing by the identified at least one lawyer, automatically receiving and storing live-streaming video images of the identified at least one lawyer in the remote database, and automatically transmitting the live-streaming video images of the identified at least one lawyer to be displayed on a display screen viewable by the user.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and device for playing a video. The method comprises: in the process of playing a video, displaying a first subtitle in a subtitle component displayed in a playback interface of the video, and playing a first audio corresponding to the first subtitle; in response to a first trigger operation of a user on the subtitle component, displaying a first pop-up window, the first pop-up window being used to switch display of the first subtitle to the second subtitle; in response to a second trigger operation of the user on the first pop-up window, switching to display the second subtitle in the subtitle component, and playing a second audio corresponding to the second subtitle. The video playback method and device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can solve the issues that users cannot understand subtitles and audios in the process of watching videos, thereby improving the users' experience.

Mechanisms provide intermediate key frame animation during a media seek. A streaming server receives a seek request from a client device while the streaming server provides the client device with a media stream. The seek request is made when the media stream is playing at an initial location and the seek request includes a request to play the media stream from a seek location. In some embodiments, intermediate key frames before the seek location are identified. In other instances, intermediate key frames between the initial location and the seek location are identified. These intermediate key frames are provided to the client device for display before the media stream begins playing at the seek location.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, embodiments include obtaining video content, the video content comprises a plurality of frames, monitoring, by an image sensor, a facial feature of a user to determine a visual focus of the user in relation to the video content, and detecting from a group of frames of the plurality of frames at least a reduction in movements of objects in the group of frames. Further embodiments include determining, according to the monitoring and the detecting, a measure of attention of the user within a region of the group of frames, determining that the measure of attention of the user within the region of the group of frames satisfies a threshold, and embedding in at least a portion of subsequent frames of the plurality of frames a visual advertisement in the region via a communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A set top box (STB) providing enhanced Wi-Fi coverage. The STB downloads and configures an extender service agent for implementing extender capability at the STB. pairing the extender service agent with a router, and providing extended wireless IP connectivity using a fronthaul connection via the antenna to clients in range of IP signals radiated by the antenna. When the STB uses a wired backhaul connection all of an available bandwidth is used for the fronthaul connection, and when a wireless backhaul connection is used, the available bandwidth is split between the backhaul connection and the fronthaul connection.

A video-based competition platform supports video-based competitions between possibly geographically distributed competitors. The video-based competition platform enables users of electronic communication devices to create, compete, view, and vote in video-based competitions. In at least some embodiments, a video-based competition is presented to a user with two or more video clips played in conjunction. The video clips may be synchronized to a time base and/or common audio clip.
