Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface

When selecting a television program for recording, a user may configure the delivery of the selected television program and associated data and interactive applications to different user equipment devices in a home network, which may have different capabilities. Because the user equipment devices in the home network may have different capabilities, the user may wish to deliver different types and amount of content, different amounts of data, and different versions of interactive applications to the user equipment devices in the home network.

Interactive media guidance system having multiple devices

One embodiment is directed to a system for enabling two or more users to interact within a virtual world comprising virtual world data, comprising a computer network comprising one or more computing devices, the one or more computing devices comprising memory, processing circuitry, and software stored at least in part in the memory and executable by the processing circuitry to process at least a portion of the virtual world data; wherein at least a first portion of the virtual world data originates from a first user virtual world local to a first user, and wherein the computer network is operable to transmit the first portion to a user device for presentation to a second user, such that the second user may experience the first portion from the location of the second user, such that aspects of the first user virtual world are effectively passed to the second user.

Security systems and methods for use with structured and unstructured data

A media server (302) in a Universal Plug and Play network (300) includes a resource sharing service (322) to govern the distribution of resource information regarding resources to rendering devices (304-312). In one case, the resource sharing service (322) consults a creiterion to determine whether an identified network device is authorized to receive resource information. In another case, the resource sharing service (322) consults another criterion to determine whether a specified individual associated with the media server (302) must consent to the transfer of the resource information in order for the transfer to occur. The resource information may include resource metadata that describes high level information regarding resources, as well as resource content. The media server (302) includes various user interface presentations that allow the media server user to specify shared resources and distribution criteria.

Routing of resource information in a network

A system and method for providing an augmented reality environment in which the environmental mapping process is decoupled from the localization processes performed by one or more mobile devices is described. In some embodiments, an augmented reality system includes a mapping system with independent sensing devices for mapping a particular real-world environment and one or more mobile devices. Each of the one or more mobile devices utilizes a separate asynchronous computing pipeline for localizing the mobile device and rendering virtual objects from a point of view of the mobile device. This distributed approach provides an efficient way for supporting mapping and localization processes for a large number of mobile devices, which are typically constrained by form factor and battery life limitations.

Distributed asynchronous localization and mapping for augmented reality

A system that includes a head mounted display device and a processing unit connected to the head mounted display device is used to fuse virtual content into real content In one embodiment, the processing unit is in communication with a hub computing device The system creates a volumetric model of a space, segments the model into objects, identifies one or more of the objects including a first object, and displays a virtual image over the first object on a display (of the head mounted display) that allows actual direct viewing of at least a portion of the space through the display

Fusing virtual content into real content

Techniques are provided for providing 3D audio, which may be used in augmented reality A 3D audio signal may be generated based on sensor data collected from the actual room in which the listener is located and the actual position of the listener in the room The 3D audio signal may include a number of components that are determined based on the collected sensor data and the listener's location For example, a number of (virtual) sound paths between a virtual sound source and the listener may be determined The sensor data may be used to estimate materials in the room, such that the affect that those materials would have on sound as it travels along the paths can be determined In some embodiments, sensor data may be used to collect physical characteristics of the listener such that a suitable HRTF may be determined from a library of HRTFs

System and method for high-precision 3-dimensional audio for augmented reality

A UPnP network provides a flexible technique for retrieving a resource content item from a media server using a parameterized uniform resource locator (URL). In operation, the media server sends a control point a parameterized URL in response to a consumer's browse or search request. The URL includes at least one parameter that specifies a characteristic attribute of the resource content item, which determines the manner in which the resource content item can be presented. For example, the parameter can describe a format type of the resource content item, a format resolution of the resource content item, and/or other property of the resource content item. The control point can modify a value associated with the parameter to produce a modified URL. This modified URL is submitted to the media server, whereupon the media server locates the resource content item and converts it to the characteristic state specified by the modified URL (if conversion is needed). The media server then provides the located (and potentially converted) resource content item to a rendering device for presentation thereat.
