  • Patent number: 12273233
    Abstract: A receiving element and operation method thereof are provided. The receiving element includes a data transmission element, master receiving element, and slave receiving element. The data transmission element converts a first video data into a second video data. The master receiving element receives the second video data and determines whether the second video data is normal or abnormal. The slave receiving element receives a control signal from the master receiving element and the second video data. In response to the master receiving element determining that the second video data is normal, the control signal is output to control the slave receiving element into standby mode, and the second video data is converted into a display signal. Alternatively, in response to the master receiving element determining that the second video data is abnormal, the control signal is output, and the received second video data is converted into a display signal.

  • Patent number: 12272385
    Abstract: In various examples, users may access a tool that automatically generates video montages from video clips of the user's gameplay according to parameterized recipes. As a result, a user may select—or allow the system to select—clips corresponding to gameplay of the user and customize one or more parameters (e.g., transitions, music, audio, graphics, etc.) of a recipe, and a video montage may be generated automatically according to a montage script output using the recipe. As such, a user may have a video montage generated with little user involvement, and without requiring any skill or expertise in video editing software. In addition, even for experienced video editors, automatic video montage generation may be a useful alternative to save the time and effort of manually curating video montages.

  • Patent number: 12265574
    Abstract: A media application selects, from a collection of images associated with a user account, candidate pairs of images, where each pair includes a first static image and a second static image from the user account. The media application applies a filter to select a particular pair of images from the candidate pairs of images. The media application generates, using an image interpolator, one or more intermediate images based on the particular pair of images. The media application generates a video that includes three or more frames arranged in a sequence, where a first frame of the sequence is the first static image, a last frame of the sequence is the second static image, and each of the one or more intermediate images is a corresponding intermediate frame of the sequence between the first frame and the last frame.

  • Patent number: 12262000
    Abstract: This application discloses a data transmission method performed by a computer device. It is detected that the ith forward reference frame is lost, during video decoding, when the (i+T+1)th forward reference frame is decoded, since a video frame in a first reference frame combination of the (i+T+1)th forward reference frame is located before the (i+T+1)th forward reference frame with an interval of T forward reference frames from the (i+T+1)th forward reference frame, T being a positive integer, so that before the (i+T+1)th forward reference frame is decoded, there is more time for retransmitting the ith forward reference frame, improving a possibility of completing retransmission of the ith forward reference frame during decoding of the (i+T+1)th forward reference frame, thereby reducing a possible waiting time for decoding the (i+T+1)th forward reference frame.
