Patent number: 12289497Abstract: A user may want to share segments of content, such as video sequences of news reporting or sports events received from a service provider, SR, or content provider, CP, with the members of his social network using the user's social networking application. Therefore, a method is provided for sharing content that may include receiving a content segment by a Transmitter/Receiver Device, TRD. The TRD may transmit, to the SP/CP, a request for sharing the currently received content segment. The SP/CP may receive the request from the TRD and may prepare the content segment for sharing, for example by uploading it to a replay platform. The TRD may receive, from the SP/CP an indication that the content segment has been stored on the replay platform, including a locator to the content segment. The TRD may publish the locator in the user's social network application.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2021Date of Patent: April 29, 2025Assignee: INTERDIGITAL MADISON PATENT HOLDINGS, SASInventors: Philippe Schmouker, Thomas Morin, Hassane Guermoud

Publication number: 20240211056Abstract: According to an embodiment, a direction pointed by a controlling device with a first orientation may be obtained from a first image of a user handing the controlling device with the first orientation. For example, an initial indication of an initial pointed position may be displayed on a display device based on the direction. For example, angular information may be obtained. The angular information may be representative of a difference between the first orientation and a second orientation of the controlling device pointing to the pointed position. For example, an indication of a pointed position may be determined (e.g., for display) based on the initial pointed position and on the received angular information.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2022Publication date: June 27, 2024Inventors: Sylvain Thiebaud, Patrick Morvan, Sylvain Lelievre, Thomas Morin

Patent number: 11863862Abstract: A display device (100) obtains (S210) an image, obtains (S220) a current measure of inclination of a screen (110) of the display device (100), rotates (S230) the image to compensate for the inclination to render the image parallel with the horizon, scales (S240) and displays (S250) the image entire and horizontally on the screen. The image can be part of a video for which other images are processed to be displayed horizontally. The image can be scaled to maximise the size of the image when displayed on the screen (110); this can be performed after a period of unchanged inclination.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: InterDigital CE Patent Holdings, SASInventors: Goulven Querre, Thomas Morin, Karine Jegou, Sebastien Fraleu

Patent number: 11792487Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for controlling the volume of a content. In one embodiment, sound associated with a content is received as well as a request for a volume change associated with the content. An equalization ratio is then obtained based on an amplification and a compression parameter. It is then analyzed whether a volume change will cause a coordinate change in the amplifier or compression levels associated with the content. If a volume change will cause a coordinate change in the amplifier or compression levels associated with the content, the volume change is limited.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2019Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: InterDigital Madison Patent Holdings, SASInventors: Thomas Morin, David Drugeon-Hamon, Goulven Querre
