Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for data processing, a server, and a live broadcast system. The method includes: in response to a gift giving instruction sent by a first electronic device through a first user account on a first live broadcast platform, the gift giving instruction including a gift identifier of a virtual gift, and a platform identifier and a host identifier of a second live broadcast platform, determining a second virtual currency value of the virtual gift on the second live broadcast platform according to the gift identifier, and converting the second virtual currency value to a first virtual currency value on the first live broadcast platform; and sending information corresponding to the virtual gift to a second electronic device in response to deducting the first virtual currency value from the first user account.

Abstract: Tag data is created from in-band data in a media content item by a remote location while the media content item is being broadcasted by a content provider and received by the remote location. The tag data identifies locations in the media content item which enables media devices to accurately jump to particular locations in the media content item based on the tag data.

Abstract: A method for controlling a video system wherein the nearest display apparatus is selected by detecting a distance to each of a plurality of display apparatuses and information regarding the nearest display apparatus is transmitted to another video apparatus allowing a user apparatus to select the nearest display apparatus without additional input.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for articulating visual inspection devices are provided. For example, a method can include receiving an inspection template by a control system associated with the visual inspection device. The inspection template can include data associated with at least one point of interest in a scene viewable to the visual inspection device. The method can further include generating, by the control system, an articulation path based on the data. The method can also include actuating an electro-mechanical system of the visual inspection device according to the articulation path.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and controlling method thereof, suitable for outputting a portion of a video or text information by maintaining a play ratio in response to a size change of a video play region in case of playing the video in the course of multitasking execution.

Abstract: A projector includes a projection optical system adapted to project an image on a screen, a lens drive section adapted to perform a focus adjustment in accordance with an operation, a shooting section adapted to shoot the screen, an evaluation value calculation section adapted to calculate an evaluation value used to evaluate contrast of a shot image of the shooting section, and a display control section adapted to make the projection lens project an image, which corresponds to a difference between the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation value calculation section after the focus adjustment and a maximum value of the evaluation values having been calculated by the evaluation value calculation section before the focus adjustment, on the screen in a case in which the lens drive section has performed the focus adjustment in accordance with the operation.

Abstract: An electronic device displays a first video stream on a display. While displaying the first video stream on the display, the device allocates, in accordance with a historical pattern of video stream switching of a particular user, available bandwidth for receiving data at the device at least between receiving the first video stream and preloading a second, non-displayed video stream. The device receives the first video stream and preloads the second, non-displayed video stream in accordance with the allocated available bandwidth. The device receives a request to display the second video stream on the display. In response to receiving the request to display the second video stream on the display, the device displays the preloaded second video stream on the display.

Abstract: A remote control for a digital video recorder includes an integrated display screen configured to display a recording list including programs scheduled to be recorded.

Abstract: The invention achieves a visual processing device that can execute precise contrast adjustment on image signals that have been input and that does not cause discrepancies in the output timing of the image signals that are output. The visual processing device is provided with a gain-type visual processing portion that outputs a first gain signal having predetermined gain characteristics with respect to the input image signal, and a correction portion that corrects the input image signal based on the first gain signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling a host application and uses thereof access to otherwise inaccessible information configured solely for use by other types of applications. The information may be exposed for use by the host application as information elements (e.g., metadata). During execution the host application may dynamically access these information elements using references specifying the information elements. These references may be used to retrieve pieces of information for display and/or modification by users. The content provided by the application may have an associated smart tag or uniform resource locater that specifies the reference. Further, for particular content, references may be generated from a structural abstraction representing the structure of the content. The structural abstraction may have one or more nodes corresponding to one or more respective sections of the content.

Abstract: Two logical partitions within a single computer communicate with each other internally. The protocol stack of a first logical partition generates a frame in a memory space provided in a driver and referred to by the first logical partition. The driver transfers the frame generated in the memory space of the first logical partition to a communication port of a Layer 2 switch using DMA. The communication port of the Layer 2 switch loops back the frame input from the driver. An interrupt is signaled to the driver and the frame is transferred from communication port of the Layer 2 switch to the driver using DMA. The frame is received in a memory space referred to by a second logical partition.
