Abstract: A method and system for dynamically watermarking media content based on transport-stream metadata, to facilitate action by a downstream entity. An intermediary in a media-distribution path could receive a transport stream carrying media content and carrying metadata that is not watermarked in the media content. The intermediary could then obtain from the transport stream the metadata that is not watermarked in the media content and could modify the media content at least by encoding into the media content a watermark that represents the obtained metadata. And the intermediary could then output at least the modified media content for transmission to a downstream entity. The downstream entity could thus obtain from the watermark in the media content the metadata and could use the metadata to facilitate carrying out one or more useful actions.

Abstract: Oscillator quick-startup circuit and method in which a voltage step is applied to a resonator (crystal) resulting in ringing which is amplified and fed into a locking circuit which locks to it, such as a programmable delay circuit. Once locking is complete, then the circuit is switched into a standalone oscillator mode, having a feedback path, the output of this injection oscillator energizes the resonator for achieving quick startup of a primary oscillator, in response to it automatically adjusting injection oscillator frequency to match the frequency of the resonator. A digital circuit controls the configuring of the circuit for applying the voltage step, adjusting the locking circuit, and then switching into a standalone oscillator mode.

Abstract: System and methods for facilitating content watch parties may include a sync server having a server CPU, a host user device, a client user device, and a content provider.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for video broadcasting includes receiving, via a graphical user interface (GUI), first information relating to a first shot including one or more first digital media resources and second information relating to a second shot including one or more second digital media resources. A first video feed in accordance with the first information is played on a digital canvas. A second video feed in accordance with the second information is loaded on the digital canvas, such that the second video feed is hidden by the first video feed. A broadcast is generated by capturing a series of video frames of the digital canvas, and the broadcast is transmitted to one or more first remote devices.

Abstract: A decoding complexity may be used to predict power consumption for receiving, decoding, and/or displaying multimedia content at a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The decoding complexity may be based on decoding complexity feedback received from a reference device, such as another WTRU. The decoding complexity feedback may be based on measurements performed at the reference device for receiving decoding, and/or displaying the multimedia content. A content providing device may indicate the decoding complexity of requested media content to a WTRU, or another network entity. The decoding complexity may be indicated in a streaming protocol or file associated with the media content. The WTRU, or other network entity, may use the decoding complexity determine its preferences regarding transmission of the media content. The content providing device may determine whether to transmit the media content based on the decoding complexity and/or the preferences of the WTRU or other network entity.

The method further includes, in response to a determination that the aggregate bandwidth of the upcoming portion of the content stream does not fit the capacity, prioritizing low latency for the user-interface data over maintaining a frame rate of the video content when the user-interface data is the result of a user interaction and reducing a size of the upcoming portion of the content stream in accordance with the prioritizing. The reducing comprises decreasing the frame rate of the video content.
