Systems and methods for recording programs using a user's equipment and a network recording device are provided. An interactive television application may determine whether the user's equipment has sufficient resources (e.g., tuners or space) to record a program selected for recording. If the interactive television application determines that the user's equipment does not have sufficient resources, the interactive television application may select, automatically or in response to a user instruction, the program for recording with a network recording device. In some embodiments, the user may have to pay for the use of the network recording device, or may be required to purchase a given tier level of service. The interactive television application may play back programs from the network recording device as VOD offerings, or may direct the network recording device to transfer recorded programs to the user's equipment when it has sufficient resources.

An image recording system includes a processor. The processor acquires a time series RAW image group including a plurality of time series RAW images in a first time section. The processor extracts, from the time series RAW image group, a recording candidate RAW image group included in a second time section as a part of the first time section. The processor records at least one RAW image included in the recording candidate RAW image group as a recording target RAW image which is a RAW image to be recorded. The processor selects the recording target RAW image from the recording candidate RAW image group. The processor converts the RAW image which is not selected as the recording target RAW image from the recording candidate RAW image group or the time series RAW image group to compressed data, and records the compressed data.

Methods, systems, and media for generating a summarized video using frame rate modification are provided. In some embodiments, a method for editing a video is provided, the method comprising: receiving, using a hardware processor, a video file; identifying a plurality of frames at a playback frame rate from the video file; generating an edited video file by extracting a subset of the plurality of frames, wherein the extracted frames in the subset of the plurality of frames are separated by a predetermined length in the plurality of frames and wherein extracting the subset of the plurality frames modifies a frame rate of at least a portion of the video file to an effective frame rate; storing the edited video file; and presenting the edited video file at the playback frame rate.

An object or body-mounted camera apparatus for recording surgery is provided that is adapted for tracking a relevant visual field of an on-going operation. To help maintain visibility and/or focus of the visual field, specific machine learning approaches are proposed in combination with control commands to shift a physical positioning or a perspective of the camera apparatus. Additional variations are directed to tracking obstructions based on the visual field of the camera, which can be utilized for determining a primary recording for use when there are multiple cameras being used in concert.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for efficient image analysis. In some aspects, a system includes a camera configured to capture images, one or more environment sensors configured to detect movement of the camera, a data processing apparatus, and a memory storage apparatus in data communication with the data processing apparatus. The data processing apparatus can access, for each of a multitude of images captured by a mobile device camera, data indicative of movement of the camera at a time at which the camera captured the image. The data processing apparatus can also select, from the images, a particular image for analysis based on the data indicative of the movement of the camera for each image, analyze the particular image to recognize one or more objects depicted in the particular image, and present content related to the one or more recognized objects.

Multiple scheduling producers such as content management systems, advertisement systems, and emergency broadcast systems can independently send scheduling events to scheduling consumers such as streaming servers, guide generators, and playlogs. The scheduling consumers maintain state machines with persistent storage to process scheduling events from scheduling producers and output media channel playlists, channel guides, and/or content. Scheduling producers can contribute independently to define a channel playout while information at scheduling consumers remains synchronized.

Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for synchronizing playback of audiovisual content among multiple speakers. In some embodiments, a first smart speaker receives a spread spectrum signal from a second smart speaker over an audio data channel. The first smart speaker despreads the spread spectrum signal based on a spreading code. The first smart speaker determines a time of receipt of the spread spectrum signal based on the despreading. The first smart speaker receives a time of transmission of the spread spectrum signal. The first smart speaker then calculates a playback delay based on the time of receipt and the time of transmission. Then the first smart speaker controls the playback of the audiovisual content based on the playback delay.
