Abstract: A television includes a first display configured to display streaming video content at a first brightness level, and a second display configured to display interactive content supplemental to the video content at a second brightness level. The television also includes a sensor configured to detect objects in a viewing area in proximity to the television. One or more processors of the television receive detection inputs from the sensor; perform a first presence evaluation based on the detection inputs, wherein the first presence evaluation determines that there is a presence or an absence of persons in the viewing area for an amount of time that satisfies a first threshold; and based on the first presence evaluation, perform a first adjustment to one or more power settings of the first display and/ or the second display causing the first brightness level and the second brightness level to be different.

Abstract: System and method for video conferencing on a dual screen television are disclosed. A disclosed television system comprises a housing, a primary screen in the housing configured to display first content including linear digital content, a secondary screen in the housing configured to display second content and having a height less than the primary screen, an audio source disposed in the housing configured to output audio associated with at least one of the first content and the second content, a user input device configured to receive one or more user commands, and a processor. The processor is configured to display the first content on the primary screen and the second content associated with a video conference on the secondary screen at the same time.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for smoothing audio gaps using adaptive metadata identifies an initial audio segment and a subsequent audio segment that follows the initial audio segment. The method accesses a first set of metadata that corresponds to a last audio frame of the initial audio segment and accesses a second set of metadata that corresponds to the first audio frame of the subsequent audio segment. The first and second sets of metadata include audio characteristic information for the two audio segments. The method then generates a new set of metadata that is based on both sets of audio characteristics. The method further inserts a new audio frame between the last audio frame of the initial audio segment and the first audio frame of the subsequent audio segment and applies the new set of metadata to the new audio frame. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
