3475 results about "Second screen" patented technology

A second screen involves the use of a computing device (commonly a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet) to provide an enhanced viewing experience for content on another device, such as a television. In particular, the term commonly refers to the use of such devices to provide interactive features during broadcast content, such as a television program, especially social media postings on social networking platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter. This type of technology is designed to keep an audience engaged in whatever they are involved in. The use of a second screen supports social television and generates an online conversation around the specific content.

Multi-screen synchronous slide gesture

Embodiments of a multi-screen synchronous slide gesture are described. In various embodiments, a first motion input is recognized at a first screen of a multi-screen system, and the first motion input is recognized when moving in a particular direction across the first screen. A second motion input is recognized at a second screen of the multi-screen system, where the second motion input is recognized when moving in the particular direction across the second screen and approximately when the first motion input is recognized. A synchronous slide gesture can then be determined from the recognized first and second motion inputs.

Second screen interactive platform

Interactive digital media platform, methods and apparatus for detecting and dynamically synchronizing to media content (e.g., television (TV) programs or movies) that a viewer is watching while providing related content on a second screen for enhancing the viewer experience. In one embodiment, the primary content is determined by detecting an audio signal of the primary content via the second screen device; the audio signal may then be processed to generate a fingerprint for comparison with a data store of primary content. The primary content can be classified by various categories (e.g., unique program, advertising, repeat airing, theme song . . . ) and the classification used to aid in the identification and / or in selection of the content to be presented on the interactive second screen device. The system allows a substantially real time comparison and recognition of what primary content a viewer is watching on a first screen device and presentation to the user of content that is substantially synchronous to the viewer's location in the primary content. The viewer can actively engaged with the content presented and can share the content with others via social networking and the like.

TV content segmentation, categorization and identification and time-aligned applications

Content segmentation, categorization and identification methods are described. Content tracking approaches are illustrated that are suitable for large scale deployment. Time-aligned applications such as multi-language selection, customized advertisements, second screen services and content monitoring applications can be economically deployed at large scales. A client performs fingerprinting, scene change detection, audio turn detection, and logo detection on incoming video and gathers database search results, logos and text to identify and segment video streams into content, promos, and commercials. A learning engine is configured to learn rules for optimal identification and segmentation at each client for each channel and program. Content sensed at the client site is tracked with reduced computation and applications are executed with timing precision. A user interface for time-aligned publishing of content and subsequent usage and interaction on one or more displays is also described.
