20130312039 | METHOD FOR VIRTUAL CHANNEL MANAGEMENT, METHOD FOR RETRIEVING DIGITAL CONTENTS, AND NETWORK-BASED MULTIMEDIA REPRODUCTION SYSTEM WITH VIRTUAL CHANNELS - A method for virtual channel management is provided. The method includes the following steps. In response to a command, a control unit of a network-based multimedia reproduction system determines whether the command is associated with virtual channel switching. When the command is associated with virtual channel switching, the control unit checks whether a channel value corresponding to the command exists in an application virtual channel table. When the channel value exists in the application virtual channel table, the control unit determines an application corresponding to the channel number from the application virtual channel table, and executes the application. According to a first operation parameter set corresponding to the application, the control unit sets the executed application to retrieve digital contents through a network unit of the network-based multimedia reproduction system. | 11-21-2013 |
20130326569 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PLAYING VIDEO STREAMS - A video stream playback method adapted to a video playback device with a network function is provided. The method includes defining a correspondence between a first virtual channel and a first video streaming service. A first application program for using the first video streaming service is installed in the video playback device. The method also includes automatically linking a plurality of independent video streams provided by the first video streaming service by using the first application program to establish a first video stream list. The first video stream list includes a uniform resource locator (URL) of each video stream. The method further includes automatically obtaining the video streams from the first video streaming service according to the first video stream list and continuously playing the video streams by using the first application program when the video playback device receives a first channel select command corresponding to the first virtual channel. | 12-05-2013 |
20140068013 | METHOD OF PLAYING INTERNET VIDEO AND RELATED ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A method of playing an internet video for an electronic device is disclosed. The method includes receiving data associated with the internet video from a network, wherein the video data includes information of a highest resolution and a lowest resolution of the internet video; determining a first display resolution range according to a network bandwidth utilized by the electronic device; and selecting a first resolution for playing the internet video according to the first display resolution range and whether the electronic device has stored a complete data associated with the internet video with the highest resolution. | 03-06-2014 |
20140108502 | STREAMING DATA DOWNLOADING METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM THEREOF - A streaming data downloading method is illustrated, which is adaptive to a video player downloading a video file from a video server via Internet. The method includes dividing the video file into a plurality of time sections by the video player, sending several downloading requests to the video server for simultaneously downloading data corresponding to different time sections based on the number of the downloading requests. Therefore, data of the video file may be downloaded efficiently and waiting time for users may be drastically reduced. | 04-17-2014 |
20140215517 | PREVIEW AND PLAYBACK METHOD OF VIDEO STREAMS AND SYSTEM THEREOF - A preview and playback method of video streams is provided for a video playback device having network function. The method includes defining a virtual channel and a preview channel corresponding to the virtual channel. A video stream list of the virtual channel is established for linking a plurality of video streams. A preview list is established and description information of each of the preview data corresponding to the video streams is recorded in the preview list. When the video playback device receives a preview channel selection instruction, the preview data is obtained automatically and played continuously. When the video playback device receives a preview data selection instruction, the video stream corresponding to the preview data being selected is recognized as a selected video stream. The preview channel is switched to the virtual channel, and the selected video stream is obtained from a video stream service and played automatically. | 07-31-2014 |
20140259075 | METHOD FOR VIRTUAL CHANNEL MANAGEMENT, NETWORK-BASED MULTIMEDIA REPRODUCTION SYSTEM WITH VIRTUAL CHANNEL, AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - Method for virtual channel management, in an embodiment, includes the following steps. A command including a keyword is detected. Searching local program data for any program satisfying a first search criterion which includes the keyword is made to obtain a local search result, and searching for any external network video content satisfying the first search criterion is made to obtain an external search result. A program list is generated with a combination of the local and external search results. The program list is presented. If a selection indicating virtual channel addition is detected during the presenting of the program list, the program list is set to be a virtual channel associated with a channel identity code, and program content of the virtual channel is played.
