  • Media streams from containers processed by hosted code
    Patent number: 10244022
    Abstract: Described is a technology by which code, such as an untrusted web application hosted in a browser, provides content through an interface for playback by an application environment, such as an application environment running in a browser plug-in. Content may be in the form of elementary video, audio and/or script streams. The content is in a container that is unpackaged by the application code, whereby the content may be packaged in any format that the application understands, and/or or come from any source from which the application can download the container. An application environment component such as a platform-level media element receives information from an application that informs the application environment that the application is to provide media stream data for playback. The application environment requests media stream data (e.g., samples) from the application, receives them as processed by the application, and provides the requested media stream data for playback.

  • ON-DEMAND INTERFACE REGISTRATION WITH A VOICE CONTROL SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20140372892
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention automatically register user interfaces with a voice control system. Registering the interface allows interactive elements within the interface to be controlled by a user's voice. A voice control system analyzes audio including voice commands spoken by a user and manipulates the user interface in response. The automatic registration of a user interface with a voice control system allows a user interface to be voice controlled without the developer of the application associated with the interface having to do anything. Embodiments of the invention allow an application's interface to be voice controlled without the application needing to account for states of the voice control system.
