Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to media devices implementing new television standards, such as ATSC 3.0, which includes audio/video essence and metadata/signaling. The disclosed embodiments include techniques for confirming an association between two media devices by augmenting media content with a watermark using an upstream device, wherein the watermark conveys an identifier. The media content is sent from the upstream device to a downstream device and the watermark is detected using the downstream device. The identifier is transmitted to a server upon the detection of the watermark using the downstream device. The server identifies an association between the upstream and downstream devices upon receipt of the identifier from the downstream device.

Abstract: The disclosure belongs to the technical field of autonomous vehicle, in particular to an automatic driving acceleration test method considering efficiency and coverage, which includes the following steps. Step 1 is definition of scenario test priority. Step 2 is zone division. Step 3 is search within zones. Step 4 is update of scenario test priorities. Step 5 is iterative test. After selecting the automatic driving function to be tested and setting the parameters of the vehicle operation zone, the scenario generation range is formed. The coverage of the test scenario is improved by dividing the generated range and setting the freedom of early autonomous driving exploration. The efficiency of the test process is improved by continuously improving the probability of generating dangerous scenarios in the test process. Thus, it is ensured that the generated test scenarios take into account both test efficiency and test coverage.
