Abstract
A method or apparatus for controlling a media device using gestures may include, for example, modifying media content to generate first updated media content according to a comparison of first information descriptive of a first environment of the source device to second information descriptive of a second environment of the recipient device, capturing images of a gesture, identifying a command from the gesture, and modifying the first updated media content to generate second updated media content according to the command. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A media device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- identifying first characteristics of a first environment associated with the media device according to first sensory information;
- identifying second characteristics of a second environment of a source device according to descriptive information, wherein the source device provides media content;
- determining a difference between the first characteristics of the first environment and the second characteristics of the second environment;
- selecting a first adaptation to modify a presentation of the media content by the media device according to the difference;
- modifying the presentation of the media content according to the first adaptation to generate a first modified presentation of the media content;
- detecting a command;
- selecting a second adaptation according to the command;
- and
- modifying the first modified presentation of the media content according to the second adaptation to generate a second modified presentation of the media content.
A non-transitory, machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving media content from a source device;
- determining a first characteristic of a first environment associated with the source device according to first sensory information;
- determining a second characteristic of a second environment associated with the processor according to second sensory information;
- determining a difference between the first characteristic of the first environment and the second characteristic of the second environment;
- modifying the media content to generate first updated media content according to the difference;
- receiving a command;
- and
- modifying the first updated media content according to the command to generate second updated media content.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a recipient device comprising a processor, media content supplied by a source device;
- determining, by the recipient device, a first characteristic of a first environment associated with the source device according to first sensory information;
- determining, by the recipient device, a second characteristic of a second environment associated with the recipient device according to second sensory information;
- determining, by the recipient device, a difference between the first characteristic of the first environment and the second characteristic of the second environment;
- modifying, by the recipient device, the media content to generate first updated media content according to the difference;
- detecting, by the recipient device, a user-generated command;
- and
- modifying, by the recipient device, the first updated media content to generate second updated media content according to the user-generated command.
