Abstract: A computer-implemented method of video coding comprises receiving at least one frame of a video sequence of an interactive application interface associated with at least one asset displayable on the interface in response to a user action related to the interface. The method includes encoding the at least one frame. The method also includes transmitting the at least one asset and the encoded at least one frame to a remote device. The transmitting operation refers to performing the transmitting regardless of whether a request to display the at least one asset exists. The asset can be a non-persistent asset on the frame only while a user performs a continuous action or maintains a cursor at a specific place on the interface. The asset also can be a persistent asset on the frame in response to a first action and is removed from the display in response to a second action.

Abstract: Systems and methods for representing a tuner device in a content directory service that is implemented in a media server are disclosed. An exemplary method involves representing a tuner as a tuner container. A broadcast channel which is accessible to the tuner is represented as a broadcast item within the tuner container. The exemplary method also involves exposing the broadcast item within the tuner container as an object for browsing by a control point. Information about the broadcast item may be sent to the control point in response to a browse request. A connection may be established with a media renderer for transmission of content from the broadcast channel to the media renderer.
