APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING MEDIA CONTENT

摘要

A system that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving video content at a mobile device via a network from a video server wherein a single version of the video content is provided by the video server to a group of mobile devices that includes the mobile device, utilizing the mobile device for adjusting dimensions of an area of attention in an image of the video content based on a desired display resolution to generate an adjusted area of attention, utilizing the mobile device for adjusting dimensions of a peripheral portion that surrounds the area of attention in at least one of a horizontal or vertical direction based on the adjusted area of attention to generate an adjusted peripheral portion of an adjusted image, and replacing the image with the adjusted image during presentation of the video content at a display of the mobile device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

主权项

1. A mobile device comprising:
a display; a memory to store instructions; and a processor coupled with the memory and the display, wherein responsive to executing the instructions, the processor performs operations comprising:
parsing video content;accessing user preferences for identifying first and second areas of attention in the video content based on the user preferences;identifying the first area of attention in an image of the video content based on the parsing and the user preferences;determining a first shape for the first area of attention;identifying the second area of attention in the image based on the parsing and the user preferences;determining a second shape for the second area of attention;adjusting the first shape to a first resolution based on a desired display resolution for the video content to generate an adjusted first shape for the first area of attention;adjusting the second shape to a second resolution based on the desired display resolution to generate an adjusted second shape for the second area of attention;identifying a first peripheral portion that surrounds the first shape;identifying a second peripheral portion that surrounds the second shape;identifying a boundary zone between the first shape and the second shape, wherein the boundary zone utilizes a third display resolution having a value between the first and second resolutions; andpresenting the adjusted first shape, the boundary zone, and the adjusted second shape in place of the first and second areas during presentation of the video content at the display.
