  • Publication number: 20240373100
    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods enable a queue-based real-time navigation of linear television channels using a two button “channel backtrack” (or, e.g., “channel down”) and “next channel” (or, e.g., “channel up”) approach. Rather than tedious surfing of a static channel lineup, the systems and methods utilize two dynamic queues: a history queue tracks recently visited channels and a future queue is loaded with recommended channels based on personalized rankings. Using these two queues, and an input interface for a “channel backtrack” command and a “next channel” command, the disclosed techniques provide users an alternative to typical channel surfing experiences. The queue of future channels can be dynamically updated based on updated rankings and recommendations.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for enabling a lensless camera having an image sensor and a mask to be positioned behind a display screen of a device, which allows for the device to have an increased screen-to-body ratio. The image sensor captures an image based on the light that travels through the display screen and the mask. The display screen may include portions between pixel elements that allow light to pass through. The mask may include a pattern, such as an opaque material with portions that allow light to pass through from the portions of the display layer to the image sensor. The image captured by the image sensor may be indiscernible to humans. The system may utilize a trained machine learning model to reconstruct the image, using data about the pattern of the mask, so humans may visually recognize features in the image.
