Abstract: A frame buffer having a size of one video frame of a video stream is provided. The video stream has a source frame rate. Image data units of the video stream are written consecutively to the frame buffer in accordance with a circular buffering scheme and in real-time response to the video stream. Image data units are read from the frame buffer in accordance with the circular buffering scheme with a frame rate that is twice the source frame rate so as to generate a target video stream having a frame rate which is twice the source frame rate. The frame buffer can be used in a real-time video system, for example in a vehicle.

Abstract: A mobile device responds in real time to media content presented on a media device, such as a television. The mobile device captures temporal fragments of audio-video content on its microphone, camera, or both and generates corresponding audio-video query fingerprints. The query fingerprints are transmitted to a search server located remotely or used with a search function on the mobile device for content search and identification. Audio features are extracted and audio signal global onset detection is used for input audio frame alignment. Additional audio feature signatures are generated from local audio frame onsets, audio frame frequency domain entropy, and maximum change in the spectral coefficients. Video frames are analyzed to find a television screen in the frames, and a detected active television quadrilateral is used to generate video fingerprints to be combined with audio fingerprints for more reliable content identification.

Abstract: A TV without a touch screen can nonetheless execute applications designed for mobile devices that assume a touch screen user interface (UI) by a “dumb” remote control with up/down, left/right, select buttons, or by a remote control with a touch pad, or by a remote control application running on a mobile device with a touch-screen that communicates with the TV. In all three scenarios, the TV recognizes that it is running in a special remote control mode and with a corresponding remote control application running on the TV that is able to intercept key presses and finger swipes and translate them to touch screen commands that are input to a touch screen-enabled software application running on the TV.

If the second content is more important to the user than the first content, then a size of the second content will be increased with respect to a size of the first content on the display.
