Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices that relate to light detection and ranging (LIDAR). A controlling means for a LIDAR system includes a means for determining a current operational state of the LIDAR system regarding a predefined threshold state. The controlling means also switches the LIDAR system from a first operational mode to a second operational mode when the determined operational state exceeds the predefined threshold state. The second operational mode corresponds to an operational power of at least one operational means of the LIDAR system being lower than in the first operational mode.

Abstract: In a user's device, a computerized method for facilitating a synchronized play of content by a user device's player is provided. The method comprising: receiving a reference position in the content; retrieving a player position in the content; and based on the received reference position and the retrieved player position: determining if the player position is nearly synchronized with the reference position; and if in the negative, applying a synchronization process to reach a calculated sync player position, such that the player position, when reaching the sync player position, is nearly synchronized with the reference position.
