  • Publication number: 20240163323
    Abstract: In a method, a media delivery server may receive indication information that indicates a man-machine interaction environment of a user corresponding to UE during a call service execution period and that is sent by the UE. Then, the media delivery server may determine, based on the indication information, whether to deliver media content to the UE during the call service execution period. Alternatively, after receiving the indication information, the media delivery server may determine to-be-delivered media content based on the indication information, and deliver the to-be-delivered media content to the UE during the call service execution period. The indication information can reflect the man-machine interaction environment of the user during the call service execution period.

  • Publication number: 20240156269
    Abstract: An assembly for a seat includes a pivot hub defining multiple rotation axes, and a displacing module attached to the pivot hub. Extendable legs are rotatably coupled to the pivot hub and comprise locking devices movable between an unlocked position, in which the legs, when extended, are enabled to retract, and a locked position, in which the legs, when extended, are prevented from retracting. The legs are rotatable between an intermediate position and a deployed position. When the legs are extended, and when in the intermediate position, the displacing module engages the locking devices to move the locking devices from the locked position to the unlocked position. When the legs are extended, rotating the legs from the intermediate position to the deployed position brings the displacing module out of contact with the locking devices.

  • Publication number: 20240163466
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a video decoding method and apparatus and a video encoding method and apparatus. Coding decision information of a representative channel of a target block is shared as coding decision information of a target channel of the target block, and decoding of the target block is performed using the coding decision information of the target channel. Since the coding decision information of the representative channel is shared with an additional channel, repeated signaling of identical coding decision information may be prevented. By means of this prevention, the efficiency of encoding and decoding of the target block or the like may be improved.
