20100146135 | Protected distribution and location based aggregation service - A system for and method of per access-point streaming media customization and privacy protected feedback in a wireless network. The system is operative to: encrypt real time streamed media content from a streaming media source; multicast the streamed encrypted media content for availability to a user device for playback, the user device sending out unicast responses at the time of joining or dropping the multicast; aggregate the unicast responses in the form of a connect multicast state or a disconnect multicast state of the user device based on the joining or dropping of the multicast; and provide information back to the streaming media source based on the aggregated unicast responses. | 06-10-2010 |
20100146091 | Method of providing proximity-based quality for multimedia content - A system and method for providing proximity-based quality for multimedia content, including: transmitting multimedia content, and intentionally controlling a quality level of a presentation of the multimedia content based on proximity of a user to a particular location. | 06-10-2010 |
20100146009 | Method of DJ commentary analysis for indexing and search - A method of conducting a disc jockey (DJ) commentary analysis for indexing and search is provided. More specifically, a method is provided for automatically generating metadata related to commentary of media segments to enable tagging, storing and context relevant searching. Speech-to-text conversion technology and audio/video analysis are used to generate content and metadata. Subject matter is then identified and filtered to a predetermined set of subjects. Metadata tags and context profiles for the media segments are generated to index the media segments. Moreover, context information of the user is used to generate a context profile of the user in a format similar to that of the media segment. Indexed media segments are searched to match with the user context profile and a relevant media segment is presented to the user. | 06-10-2010 |

The system is operative to transmit metadata segment packets to the client device; transmit audio content segment packets to the client device, with the audio content segment packets matching directly to the metadata segment packets. The system also receives usage segment packets as a response from the client device. | 06-10-2010 |
20100077435 | System and method for smart trick mode display - A system and method for smart trick mode display which is aware of content and metadata, user context and user interests, and selects frames to display during trick mode that may be of interest to the user, and filters frames that the user might not wish to see even inadvertently. More specifically, the media system and method for smart trick mode display analyzes a recorded video content during a trick mode playback of the recorded video; and identifies segments of the content that are least one of interest to the user or should not be displayed to the user. The system may then select keyframes or a short sub-segment of the segment of interest to the user and then either displays the keyframes or sub-segments in a manner so as to catch the user's attention, or specifically not display any keyframes or sub-segments having content that the user does not wish to see. | 03-25-2010 |
