  • Patent number: 10873770
    Abstract: A live data broadcast method is performed at a computer server that is communicatively coupled to a first terminal and a second terminal. The method includes: detecting, during live broadcast of content of a first application running in a foreground of the first terminal to the second terminal, that the first terminal switches the first application to run in a background of the second terminal; obtaining predetermined multimedia content associated with the live broadcast; sending instructions to the second terminal to play the predetermined multimedia content on the second terminal, the predetermined multimedia content being different from content of a second application running in the foreground; and communicating status updates related to the live broadcast with the first terminal and the second terminal, respectively.

  • Patent number: 9785344
    Abstract: A portable electronic apparatus and a touch detecting method thereof are provided. In the method, a touch is detected by a touch screen of the portable electronic apparatus. Then, whether the touch is located in an edge area of the touch screen is determined. If it is determined that the touch is located in the edge area of the touch screen, the touch time during which the touch continues and no other touch is detected by the touch screen is accumulated, and whether the accumulated touch time exceeds a preset time is determined. If the accumulated touch time exceeds the preset time, related information of the touch is removed from an event triggered by the touch until the touch ends.

  • Patent number: 9584845
    Abstract: A live broadcast system for use with a mobile terminal and a mobile terminal is described. The system includes a mobile terminal and a live server. The mobile terminal collects a video signal and an audio signal, compresses the video signal and the audio signal, packages the compressed video signal and the compressed audio signal into a data stream, and transmits the data stream to a live server. The live server transmits the data stream to a terminal device, wherein the data stream can be directly played in the terminal device. Thus, the cost of live broadcasts is reduced.

  • Patent number: 9218325
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a font match technology, and in particular relate to a technology for performing font match with attribute values of a font. A method for font matching may include generating a two-dimensional link matrix based on available fonts and attribute values of the available fonts, receiving a font match query, and determining a font matching the received font match query from the available fonts by using the two-dimensional link matrix. Font matching may be implemented automatically, quickly, and accurately, without the need of manually randomly trying each font of a plurality of available fonts. Meanwhile, this method is independent from text processing software and may be called by any arbitrary text processing software (application). Moreover, this method allows the user to flexibly configure selection of the font attributes so as to perform font match more efficiently.

  • Publication number: 20140219640
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method and apparatus for storing and playing a 3D video source. The method includes: alternately storing video frames of a left-eye video source and a right-eye video source in media data storage units of a multimedia storage file in a chronological order; and storing the media information of the left-eye video source and the right-eye video source in different media information storage units of the multimedia storage file. With the above method, when a player client plays a 3D video online, the client player is able to synthesize 3D video with the left-eye video source and right-eye video source obtained from the downloaded media stream data while simultaneously downloading continuous media stream data of a multimedia storage file. The client player can synthesize 3D video without all the download being complete, to thereby play while downloading.

  • Publication number: 20140147101
    Abstract: An image rotation method and an image rotation system for a video player are provided. The image rotation method includes the following steps. Firstly, an image rotation request from a terminal is received. Then, a source video file is decoded and a rotation processing operation is performed on the decoded source video file in response to the image rotation request, so that a rotated image of the source video file is displayed. At last, the rotated image is displayed on a display device of the terminal. By the image rotation method and the image rotation system, the image in the video player can be rotated by a specified angle. Consequently, the problems of the conventional video player will be overcome. Moreover, since the problems of causing the compressed and distorted image are eliminated, the quality of the played and displayed image is enhanced.
