  • SMART CHANNEL SURFING OF LINEAR TV
    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.

  • SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR LENSLESS UNDER DISPLAY CAMERA
    Publication number: 20240361812
    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.

  • Systems and methods for preserving consistent picture quality during live streaming of hybrid content
    Patent number: 12132973
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for providing consistent picture quality during live or non-live streaming of hybrid content. For example, a camera may capture a first piece of hybrid content depicting a scene. The scene may include one or more real objects (e.g., a first person conducting an interview) and a piece of content (e.g., a stream of a second person being interviewed) being displayed on a screen (e.g., television screen). A system may receive the first piece of hybrid content and the source of the piece of content being displayed within the scene. The system may then insert the source of the piece of content into the first piece of content, replacing the depiction of the piece of content, to generate a second piece of hybrid content. The second piece of hybrid content may then be transmitted to one or more devices.
