Abstract: A method, system, device, and/or a non-transitory computer readable medium to provide a customized application associated with a television experience based on the recognition of users located in front of a television display and in the field of view of a camera. The method may include performing an initializing operation, the initializing operation including enrolling a plurality of users in a database of a computer system, acquiring a wide image using the camera and scanning the wide image for biometric information; and performing an identification operation requested by the application including, acquiring a second wide image with the camera, extracting an active area from the second wide image, storing the extracted active area as a second fast scanning area image, and extracting the biometric data of a face appearing in the second fast scanning area image.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a method to mark and exploit at least one sequence record of a video presentation played on a multimedia unit, said method comprising the steps of: during the video presentation, receiving a command from a user to mark a currently displayed video sequence, said command initiating the step of: creating a sequence record comprising a time index or frame index, allowing to locate the proper part of the video presentation, and a reference of the video presentation. At a later stage, requesting the edition of the sequence record by: adding textual information which corresponds to the actual sequence, and storing the sequence record.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reception of a data stream, transmitted in segment in one or several broadcast channels, comprising a reception step for the data in a segment of data stream transmitted by an active broadcast channel. A step for changing reception channel allows switching from the current broadcast channel to a second channel after receipt of the data stream. A listening step on said second channel listens for an event identifying the transmission of the subsequent segment of the data stream and a step for changing reception channel by switching from said second channel to the current broadcast channel or another broadcast channel.

Abstract: A device for segmenting textured images on the basis of digital signals which are representative of said images by characterization of each texture by using representative parameters and by decomposition of each image into regions associated with different textures, said device comprising, for said characterization of the texture, a sub-assembly (100) for directional morphological filtering and a sub-assembly (200) for determining the texture parameters, and, at the output of this sub-assembly (200), a sub-assembly (300) for segmentation into regions by means of the technique of extracting watershed lines in a texture parameter image subdivided into blocks of a given size. A sequencing stage (600) furnishes the different control signals of said sub-assemblies.
