  • Publication number: 20240073473
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing interactive content contextually related to an occurrence. An illustrative method generates for display, at a media consumption device, a display of the live event, wherein the display of the live event comprises the occurrence, determines a beginning of the occurrence in the display of the live event, in response to determining the beginning of the occurrence in the display of the live event, generates for simultaneous display, with the display of the live event, interactive content related to the occurrence, determines whether the occurrence in the live event has ended in real time, and in response to determining that the occurrence in the live event has ended in real time, ceases the generating for display of the interactive content related to the occurrence.

  • Patent number: 11465994
    Abstract: The present invention provides compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof wherein Z, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are as defined in the specification, a process for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy. The present invention further provides methods of treating at least one disease, disorder, or condition associated with the glutamatergic and GABAergic signalling pathways regulated in full or in part by metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 (mGluR7) by administering a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to a subject. The compound may be a selective agonist of mGluR7, which modulates the release of at least one neurotransmitter in the subject.
