It is provided a method for viewing an image that is wider or higher than the display screen, wherein, the image is evenly divided into two portions by using a line passing through centers of larger edges of the image compared to the display screen. The method comprises, at the side of shutter glasses, the steps of receiving a message indicating display of a first portion of the two portions; turning dark of the shutter glasses and turning refraction direction of the shutter glasses towards a first position; turning transparent of the shutter glasses; receiving a message indicating display of a second portion of the two portions; turning dark of the shutter glasses and turning refraction direction of the shutter glasses towards a second position; and turning transparent of the shutter glasses.

A user accessing a media service desires to find out more information about the media service by formulating a query, by operation of an input device, where a region of interest of said media service is selected by the user. The query is submitted to other users who are defined by various tiers defined by different types of criteria. The users belonging to such tiers respond back to the query with new information, which is rendered on the media device being used by the user. Such responses are then rendered on the media device of the user. Optionally, a computer assistance mode is operated where keywords are extracted from said communications between users, and such keywords a used to obtain additional results from a resource such as a search engine.

Method and apparatus for exchanging media service queries

The present invention provides a method for sending a message to a network device with a specific MAC address, in an IP network implementing a interne group management protocol IGMP, comprising: sending, by a network terminal, to the network device, a multicast group management status message including a destination address set as the specific MAC address.

Methods for obtaining terminal multicasts status

An adaptive and scalable packet error correction apparatus and method in a wireless multicast network is provided. Each retransmission request from a receiver contains a round number and the number of repairs sent in that round. At each receiver, there are two counters for counting the rounds sent out on the network and the number of repairs that have been required. A receiver on the wireless multicast network listens to the ARQ requests sent by other receivers to update the two counters and determines whether its request should be suppressed or be sent out.

Adaptive and scalable packer error correction apparatus and method

It provides a method for encoding a set of elements by using components defining the structure of each of the set of elements, wherein each element comprises data structure information and at least one data value. The method comprises the steps of: selecting a current element for encoding; determining whether the current element has the same data structure information as a previously encoded element; in the negative, encoding the data structure information of the current element and the at least one data value of the current element; and in the affirmative, encoding the at least one data value of the current element and providing an indication value associated with the current element indicating the current element has the same data structure information as said previously encoded element. The method is used to reduce the encoding redundancy of the structure information.
