  • Publication number: 20130322852
    Abstract: The marking of a video stream to impart a unique identifier commences by first identifying portions within the video stream readily susceptible to change in a visually imperceptible manner. Thereafter, a combination of visually imperceptible changes is applied to the identified portions at random intervals for randomly varying intervals to mark the video stream. Each change in the stream correlates a particular bit sequence so that a combination of different changes yields a string of bit sequences that can particularly identify the stream.

  • Publication number: 20130268966
    Abstract: An electronic program guide includes a plurality of elements arrayed in a grid of rows and columns, with the rows corresponding to program sources and the columns corresponding to time intervals. Each element corresponds to a program played out from a particular program source during a corresponding time interval. The background of each element changes, such as by way of a color gradient or changing shape, to indicate one of a program beginning or ending. In this way, a viewer can ascertain the length of the program even if the element gets clipped upon updating the electronic program guide.
