A mobile device has at least one media output device for presenting first media content, at least one communication interface that receives signals/data indicative of whether a consumer of the first media content is actively consuming the first media content; and at least one processor executing program code, which enables the mobile device to: during playing of a first media content, receive, via the communication interface, the first data; evaluate, based on a comparison of the first data with comparative data, whether the first data indicates that the consumer is not paying attention to the first media content; and in response to the consumer not paying attention, identify, by the processor, based on a time of receipt of the first data, a first time corresponding to a location within the first media content at which the consumer stopped paying attention during the playback of the first media content.

There is provided an image processing apparatus. An obtaining unit obtains an image, and first NR information defining noise reduction processing using a first noise reduction processing method which an external apparatus can apply to the image. A generating unit generates, on the basis of the first NR information, second NR information defining noise reduction processing using a second noise reduction processing method which is different from the first noise reduction processing method. A noise reducing unit applies the noise reduction processing using the second noise reduction processing method to the image in accordance with the second NR information.

Playback and distribution systems and methods for multimedia files are provided. The multimedia files are encoded with flags associated with the content data of the multimedia files. Through the use of the flags, playback of the content is enhanced without significantly increasing the file size of the multimedia file.

In various examples, recordings of gameplay sessions are enhanced by the application of special effects to relatively high(er) and/or low(er) interest durations of the gameplay sessions. Durations of relatively high(er) or low(er) predicted interest in a gameplay session are identified, for instance, based upon level of activity engaged in by a gamer during a particular gameplay session duration. Once identified, different variations of video characteristic(s) are applied to at least a portion of the identified durations for implementation during playback. The recordings may be generated and/or played back in real-time with a live gameplay session, or after completion of the gameplay session. Further, video data of the recordings themselves may be modified to include the special effects and/or indications of the durations and/or variations may be included in metadata and used for playback.

Methods and processes for manufacture of an image product from a digital image. An object in the digital image is detected and recognized. Object metadata is assigned to the object, the object metadata linking sound to the object in the digital image which produced the sound. At least one cryptographic hash of the object metadata is generated, and the hash is written to a node of a transaction processing network.

A number-of-occupants detection system (1) includes an image correction unit (120) that generates a corrected image based on an image generated by an imaging unit (110) that images a vehicle traveling on a road having a plurality of lanes by executing correction processing on the image for reducing blurring of a subject captured in the image using a parameter according to a position where the vehicle travels, and a count unit (130) that counts the number of occupants of the vehicle using the corrected image generated by the image correction unit (120).

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods video recording and video replaying. The method may include obtaining video data from a video recording device. The method may also include generating an index item corresponding to the video data if the video data includes a key frame, wherein the index item includes an index position of the video recording device corresponding to the key frame, and an offset address used to determine an address where the key frame is stored. The method may further include storing an index table including at least the index item in a video.

Software is provided to collect events that transpire during an event. Captured video of the event can then be aligned to the events by calculating an offset between timestamps provided by the devices used to capture the action data and film data. A video clip can be sourced to review events that occurred.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving data associated with a video, applying the data to a machine learning model to obtain a prediction regarding an accuracy of an assertion included in the video, responsive to the prediction indicating that the assertion is accurate, transmitting the video to a processing system including a processor, and responsive to the prediction indicating that the assertion in inaccurate, preventing a transmission of the video to the processing system. Other embodiments are disclosed.

In order to provide a recording and reproducing device that allows a user to select and manage arbitrary play lists, a unit of management for managing all registered play list information and an upper management hierarchical level are added. The unit of management is adapted to be handled on the same level with unified information that indicates a reproduction range of all AV data. User-defined unified information is adapted to be handled on the added management hierarchical level. The user-defined unified information is formed to allow arbitrary reproduction ranges contained on a lower hierarchical level to be registered.
