A device for delivering 3-D content includes a receiving unit configured to receive a first signal containing 2-D content, and a processing unit configured to (i) determine an amount of a difference in the content in the first signal to be visualized by a left visual sensor and a right visual sensor, (ii) determine whether the amount of the difference is less than or equal to a predetermined minimum value, (iii) to discard the signal to be visualized by one of the left visual sensor and the right visual sensor when the amount of the difference is determined to be less than or equal to the predetermined minimum value, and (iv) generate a second signal containing the 2-D content of the first signal and 3-D content in which the first signal to be visualized by the one of the left visual sensor and the right visual sensor is discarded.

Device and method for rendering and delivering 3-D content

A device and method are provided for delivering three-dimensional (3-D) content. The device includes a receiving unit configured to receive a first signal containing at least two-dimensional (2-D) content, a processing unit configured to (i) determine an amount of a difference in the content in the first signal to be visualized by a left visual sensor and a right visual sensor, (ii) determine whether the amount of the difference is less than or equal to a predetermined minimum value, and to discard the signal to be visualized by one of the right and left visual sensors when the amount is determined to be less than or equal to the predetermined minimum value, and (iii) generate a second signal containing the 2-D content of the first signal and 3-D content in which the first signal to be visualized by the one of the right and left visual sensors is discarded.

A method and apparatus to allow multiple users to share a common stream of video information while providing each user the ability to have video-motion-control without interrupting the video program material viewed by the remaining users sharing the stream of video information. Also included is a method and apparatus to maximize the availability of video information in a given video content library which minimizing the storage media required to store the video information contained therein.

Video stream sharing

A method and apparatus for scheduling the distribution of information so as to maximize the viewer ship of the same and, therefore, profits. Dynamic scheduling of distribution of subportions of the information, referred to as descriptors that typically correspond to a motion picture program, is achieved so that the subportions may be transmitted to end users having a high probability of perceiving the same. A subgroup of the descriptors have a weighting value assigned thereto with said subgroup of said plurality of descriptors having a weighting value differing from the weighting value associated with the remaining descriptors of said subgroup. The weighting value is a function of predetermined parameters associated with said motion picture program, such as revenue generated when released in movie theaters, comments by professional critics and contractual constraints placed upon the distributor by holders of the ownership rights of the motion picture program. Viewing population numbers are assigned to segments of a predetermined period of time, typically the different hours of the day. The descriptors are then scheduled to be transmitted to end users so that the descriptors with the greatest weighting value is transmitted during a segment which has the greatest viewing population number.
