The method also includes transmitting ... 06/14/07 - 20070136782 - Methods and apparatus for identifying media content Methods and apparatus for preparing media content for identification are disclosed. An example method includes receiving compressed media content, decompressing the payload of the compressed media content, generating a signature of the decompressed payload, discarding the decompressed payload, embedding a code in the compressed media content, and storing the code ... 03/01/07 - 20070050837 - Method, apparatus and system for generating and distributing rich digital bookmarks for digital content navigation A method, apparatus and system provide a user with rich digital bookmarks to navigate digital content. According to an embodiment of the invention, rich digital bookmarks may be generated for digital content and provided to a user for use to perform sophisticated trick mode actions in a user friendly manner. ... 08/31/06 - 20060195887 - Method and application for interactive video on demand Method and apparatus for generation of interactive programming. An interactive programming server embeds interactive components into a video signal. The interactive programming server receives content from a content source and interactive components from an interactive component source and uses the content and interactive components to generate an interactive Video On ... 08/31/06 - 20060195886 - Content identification for broadcast media A method and apparatus for repeatedly embedding content identification information (identifiers) into a media data stream, such as an MPEG video data stream. The identifiers are embedded into the data stream using a hash function that binds an identifier with a rapidly varying property of the data stream so that ... 07/13/06 - 20060156377 - Method of broadcasting multimedia content via distribution network The invention proposes to divide a content to be transmitted via a network into a set of slices and to generate a set of files from this set of slices. The slices (or the files) are encrypted before downloading in such a way that the client cannot use the slice ... 06/29/06 - 20060143684 - Method and system for allowing a user to specify actions that are to be automatically performed on data objects uploaded to a server A method and system are provided for allowing a user to specify actions that are to be automatically performed on data objects uploaded to a server. Aspects of the invention include maintaining on the server at least one user configurable action list that contains one or more action items representing ... 03/16/06 - 20060059534 - Method for capturing a media segment In a first embodiment of the invention, the method includes: from a first source, receiving content data corresponding to a media work; receiving segment parameters from an input device; deriving data corresponding to a media segment of the media work based on the segment parameters; and sending the derived data ... 02/09/06 - 20060031919 - Method of providing content to an a/v telecommunication device A method of generating media content for an A/V telecommunication device is performed by generating media content and formatting the generated media content in an A/V telecommunication format. The formatted media content is then stored for delivery to an A/V telecommunication device. ... 02/09/06 - 20060031918 - System and method for describing presentation and behavior information in an itv application An ITV application definition language (ADL) used to generate ITV applications for different types of target platforms and devices. The ADL provides a plurality of core data structure types upon which one or more data structures may be built. Data structures storing ITV content presentation and behavior information are referred ... 12/29/05 - 20050289637 - Saving presented clips of a program A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment save presented clips of a program and delete unpresented clips of the program. Meta-data associated with the program or embedded in the program to delineate the presented clips. The meta-data are created in response to commands that cause or ... 12/15/05 - 20050278773 - Method and system for creating a virtual television network A method for creating content and accessing content for publication of the content over a communication media selected from the group consisting of audio media, video media and audio-video media. A graphical user interface is provided allowing a plurality of users to create content or access assembled content through a ... 12/15/05 - 20050278772 - Program effect creating device, a receiving device, a program effect creating program, and a computer-readable recording medium The present invention relates to a program effect creating device for performing effect creation for a broadcast program by receiving a command and executing the received command in synchronization with a predetermined scene in the broadcast program.
