20170171571 | Push Video Documentation Methods and Appliances - The present disclosure discloses a method for pushing a video file, which is applied to a network server and includes following steps: acquiring a push request from a smart terminal including identification information of the smart terminal and a projection device; binding the smart terminal and the projection device if the identification information of the smart terminal is determined to be matched with that of the projection device; and acquiring push information from the smart terminal and pushing a video file designated by the push information to the projection device. In a method and electronic device for pushing a video file provided by the present disclosure, by establishing a network connection between a smart terminal and a projection device, the smart terminal may push, at any time and any place, a video file to the projection device by a network server, thereby timely implementing sharing or pre-storage of the video file, providing a function for sharing a video and reducing time in video buffering. | 2017-06-15 |
20170171572 | METHOD FOR PLAYING A VIDEO, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, STORAGE MEDIUM - Disclosures are a method for playing a video on a network video client and a method for playing a video using a local video player. The network video client can receive an instruction to play a video, transmit a request for searching for the video respectively to the network video server and the local video player, and receive respective search results; and if only the network video server locates the video, then the video will be retrieved from the network video server for playing, if only the local video player locates the video, then the local video player will be invoked to play the video, and if both the network video server and the network video client locate the video, then a mode selection window will be provided for a user to select a “network video client playing mode” or a “local video player playing mode”. | 2017-06-15 |
20170171573 | METHOD OF REMOVING COMMON MODE NOISE, AVN SYSTEM USING THE METHOD, AND VEHICLE INCLUDING THE AVN SYSTEM - A method of removing common mode noise in a vehicle includes: a radio frequency (RF) switch connecting a feeder cable ground to a common mode (CM) filter or a digital signal processor (DSP) according to a selection signal of an amplitude modulation (AM) broadcast or a frequency modulation (FM) broadcast selected by a user and the CM filter increasing impedance of the feeder cable ground to remove the common mode noise. | 2017-06-15 |
20170171574 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SWITCHING VIDEO LIVE BROADCASTING TO ON-DEMAND BROADCASTING - A method, system and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for switching video live broadcasting to on-demand broadcasting are provided. The method includes: receiving a live broadcasting to on-demand broadcasting conversion request, and parsing a video characteristic parameter of a video to be broadcast on demand, querying an index table to determine a storage address of a video file corresponding to the video characteristic parameter of the video to be broadcast on demand; finding a corresponding source live broadcasting video file based on the determined storage address of the video file, and generating an on-demand broadcasting file by use of the corresponding source live broadcasting video file. | 2017-06-15 |
20170171575 | BROADCASTING SIGNAL TRANSMISSION DEVICE, BROADCASTING SIGNAL RECEPTION DEVICE, BROADCASTING SIGNAL TRANSMISSION METHOD, AND BROADCASTING SIGNAL RECEPTION METHOD - A broadcasting generating process method according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: encoding broadcasting data for one or more broadcasting services; encoding first level signaling information including information describing attributes for the one or more broadcasting services; encoding second level signaling information including information for scanning the one or more broadcasting services; and generating a broadcasting signal including the broadcasting data, the first level signaling information and the second level signaling information, wherein the second level signaling information is transmitted through a predetermined position in the broadcasting signal, and the second level signaling information comprises IP address information for identifying IP addresses of packets transmitting the first signaling information and physical layer pipe (PLP) ID information for identifying PLP including the first signaling information. | 2017-06-15 |
