Abstract
A method for adaptively estimating a remaining video length in real time for a user's convenience while viewing at least one program, includes calculating an average value of the viewed length of each viewed segment of the at least one program, and calculating the number of index points corresponding to remaining segments to derive a remaining number of index points. The method further includes multiplying the average value by the remaining number to estimate the remaining video length.
Claims20
A method for adaptively estimating a remaining video length in real time for a user's convenience while viewing at least one program, the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of index points for a plurality of segments of the at least one program respectively;
- calculating an average value of the viewed length of each viewed segment of the at least one program, and calculating the number of index points corresponding to remaining segments to derive a remaining number of index points;
- and
- multiplying the average value by the remaining number to estimate the remaining video length.
A method for adaptively estimating a remaining video length in real time for a user's convenience while viewing at least one program, a plurality of index points being provided for a plurality of segments of the at least one program respectively, the method comprising:
- calculating an average value of the viewed length of each viewed segment of the at least one program, and calculating the number of index points corresponding to remaining segments to derive a remaining number of index points;
- and
- multiplying the average value by the remaining number to estimate the remaining video length.
A device for adaptively estimating a remaining video length in real time for a user's convenience while viewing at least one program, the device comprising:
- a processing circuit for calculating an average value of the viewed length of each viewed segment of the at least one program, calculating the number of index points corresponding to remaining segments to derive a remaining number of index points, and multiplying the average value by the remaining number to estimate the remaining video length, wherein a plurality of index points are provided for a plurality of segments of the at least one program respectively;
- and
- a display control circuit, coupled to the processing circuit, for controlling the display of the remaining video length.
