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.

Method for sharing content and corresponding apparatuses

A system for user interaction comprising a display including a screen for displaying images, at least one hardware processor for receiving input from at least one sensor detecting at least a position of a user's fingertip in front of the display, the fingertip belonging to a finger extended in a direction of the screen, wherein the at least one hardware processor is configured to determine, from the input from the at least one sensor, an aim of the finger, display on the screen, on condition that the fingertip is in a first zone, at a position corresponding to the aim, an indicator, and select an object displayed in an image on the screen, the object located at the position on the screen corresponding to the aim, on condition that the fingertip is in a second zone, the second zone being closer to the screen than the first zone.

Display user interface method and system

A user interface device including memory configured to store instructions and at least one hardware processor configured to execute the instructions to obtain, from at least one sensor, sensor data corresponding to a user gesture, determine a user interface gesture that matches the sensor data, obtain parameters for the determined interface gesture, and upon obtaining the parameters for the determined interface gesture, use the sensor data and the parameters for the determined interface gesture to estimate the user gesture in a user interface. Also provided is a method.

Gesture-based user interface device and method

The disclosure relates to retractable display device () including a housing () having an internal space () defined therein, a rolling axle () positioned in the housing (), an electronic display and a support structure () attached to a rear surface of the electronic display. The support structure () includes a plurality of juxtaposed support elements () capable of being rolled around the axle () with the electronic display in a storage position and of being unrolled upward, at least partially out of the housing (), to provide a substantially planar front surface on which visual information may be displayed.

Retractable display device

A display device () obtains (S) an image, obtains (S) a current measure of inclination of a screen () of the display device (), rotates (S) the image to compensate for the inclination to render the image parallel with the horizon, scales (S) and displays (S) 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 (); this can be performed after a period of unchanged inclination.

Device and method for image display

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.

Audio device with learning and adaptive quiet mode capabilities

An electronic program guide, EPG, comprises a first portion and a second portion. The first portion comprises a list of channels and, for each channel in the list, a list of scheduled audiovisual content. The second portion comprises a selection area or section and a first graphical element representing a time line. The selection section may be used to select scheduled audiovisual content according to a selection criterion. Second graphical elements that represent scheduled audio visual content resulting from the selection are then placed on the first graphical element. The relative position of the second graphical elements on the first graphical element is determined by chronological order.

Electronic program guide, method for an electronic program guide, and corresponding device

The disclosure relates to a method comprising: receiving, from a first network, a input signal conveying a plurality of audio and/or video channels; sending, on a second network, a first signal comprising a first digital stream conveying a first audio and/or video channel comprised in the input signal, the first signal comprising, for a second channel of said plurality of audio and/or video channels other than the first channel, and a second digital stream comprising an identifying information of the other second channel and requiring less bandwidth than a digital stream conveying the other second audio and/or video channel of the input signal. It also relates to a method comprising: receiving via a first network a digital signal comprising a plurality of streams, one stream conveying a channel, converting the digital signal to a signal; outputting the signal to a tuning device; upon obtaining a channel identifier representative of a tuning, sending, via the first network, a channel change request comprising the channel identifier to a transmitter of the digital signal. It also relates to corresponding signal, devices, system, computer readable program products and storage media.

Methods for processing audiovisual streams and corresponding devices, electronic assembly, system, computer readable program products and storage media

An object of the invention is to avoid or at least limit the aforementioned drawback by a specific processing of video images to display, notably on large size screens. For this purpose, a method for processing at least one image of a video sequence is described. The method includes defining at least two peripheral areas P, Pin the at least one image, and reducing contrast of pixels in the defined peripheral area(s) having a local contrast Rand/or Rabove a local contrast threshold Ror reducing contrast of pixels in subregionsi, . . . , N of these defined peripheral areas having a local contrast R, R'above a local contrast threshold R.

Image processing method based on peripheral reduction of contrast

A method and device for moving an indicator on an on-screen keyboard depicted on a display device is described. A series of signals transmitted from a remote-control unit are received at the display device. The indicator on a grid depicted on the display device is moved based on the received signals. A time for moving the indicator on the grid varies based on the series of signals received from the remote-control unit.

On-screen item grid control method and device, and corresponding display device and ancillary device

A method and device for filtering a content menu. A list including two or more content items to be filtered is displayed. One or more selectable filters associated to a first hierarchy of filters are displayed. Responsive to detecting a first user input, a first filter in the first hierarchy of filters is selected, the list of content items is automatically filtered, and one or more selectable filters associated to a second hierarchy of filters is automatically provided. Responsive to detecting a second direction user input a second filter in the second hierarchy of filters is selected, the list of content items is automatically filtered according to the first and the second filters; and the filtered list of content items is displayed. The filtered list of content items includes a subset of the content items of the initially displayed list of content items.
