Abstract: Method for generating haptic feedback responses starts with processor causing communication interface for communication session to be displayed on first user interface and on a second user interface. Processor detects first touch input on first user interface and second touch input on second user interface. Processor monitors location of the first touch input on the first user interface and location of the second touch input on the second user interface. Processor determines distance between location of first touch input on first user interface and location on first user interface corresponding to location of second touch input on second user interface. Processor causes the first user interface and the second user interface to generate a haptic feedback response based on the distance. The haptic feedback response increases in intensity or speed as the distance decreases and decreases in intensity or speed as the distance increases. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: Systems, devices and processes are provided to facilitate the delivery of video content in a video streaming system. Specifically, the various embodiments can provide improved responsiveness by reducing the delay that occurs between when a user acts to initiate video streaming and when the video content is transmitted, received and displayed on a display screen.

Specifically, these embodiments monitor for movement of the remote control and determining if a detected movement corresponds to a likely initiation of video streaming. When such movements are detected, the embodiments begin preloading the video streaming content at the video player device.

Abstract: Approaches for dynamically allocating compute capacity for processing a video stream. Video complexity information for two or more digital video streams actively being processed by one or more video encoders is determined at periodic intervals. Video complexity information describes the complexity of digital video carried by the digital video streams across a bounded number of consecutive digital frames which includes digital frames not yet processed by the one or more video encoders. A determination is made as to whether the compute capacity allocated for processing a particular digital video stream should be adjusted in some manner based on the determined video complexity information. The amount of compute capacity allocated for processing the particular digital video stream may be dynamically adjusted in response to maximizing a measure of optimal video quality calculated for the two or more digital video streams using, at least in part, the determined video complexity information.
